A Story Of Silent Love

The secret about secrets..

Thursday 23rd May

3:57PM
Parker was out of school and in the car on his way to Kayla's house, them two needed to just sit down and talk it out. He had felt a mix of emotions. Happiness, sadness, confusion.. but he needed to be calm and understanding for when he sees her.

Chatter came from different rooms all throughout the house. Mrs Cooper was on a call with the electric company because Freddie's Nintendo Switch wasn't turning on (oh no the worst thing ever). Mr Cooper had just walked in and had brought some sugar coated donuts from the Dunkin' Donuts down the street from the hospital where he works at. Freddie was just running all over the place and annoying both the parents.

"Mummm when's the thingy thing gonna turn on??", pointing at the Nintendo.
"Dad can I have the donuts nowww", running to him to look at all the donuts.
"can you buy some more for tomorrow!!", he said trying to grab one.

"You'll have one donut after dinner, Frederick. Now quiet down I can't hear the person on the phone." Mrs Cooper said gesturing Freddie to calm down.

It was very chaotic in the household normally they'd all be sitting down at the table just relaxing and doing absolutely nothing but Kayla had spent the rest of her day painting. She ran out of many secondary colours which led to loads of mixing, which also led to a huge mess all over the table from just trying to get the perfect shade of colour.

Luckily she had put Christmas wrapping paper over the table before painting, the same Christmas wrapping paper that had been sitting in the attic for the last four years just gathering up dust. The red and green from the paper had faded away and looked more of a greyish colour but now after the paint it looks more of a rainbow, the different coloured paints had completely filled in every grey spot on that paper.

"Almost done.. you guys can sit down soon.." Kayla said focusing on her painting, completely ignoring the smell of donuts that have just walked through the door.

"You've been saying that for the last 20 minutes butt head. Hurry upppp" Freddie said almost squatting to show how tired his body is.

"Don't call your sister a butt head Fred." Mr Cooper said walking over to observe Kayla's painting. "That's beautiful dear"

As she said thank you she heard a ring at the door, nobody was expecting anyone so they all just stayed in their places waiting for someone to get the door. That's when Kayla realised she was supposed to hang with Parker.. the same guy who her mother dislikes. A lot.

"I'll get it I guess since I'm further away from the door!" Mrs Cooper said indicating her annoyance.

"Wait no mum-" just then the door slowly opened with Parker right in front of it, holding a bouquet of flowers.

"Oh hi Mrs Cooper, I have flowers! And a box of chocolates but they got melted along the way.." he said looking in to see Kayla staring right at him with some sky blue paint on her chin.

"Lord give me strength." Mrs Cooper was very miserable and acted like Parker wasn't even there.

In doing so he walked in step by step waving hi to Freddie and Mr Cooper. They both waved back and had a huge smile on their face. The entire Cooper family had grew to like Parker except Mrs Cooper, of course.

"Parker hey umm sorry I lost track of time.." but he didn't care, he sat down with her and handed her the flowers.

Each flower was a different colour, they were all vibrant colours though, "couldn't pick just one type of coloured flower to get so I found a bouquet that did all of the ones you like. Last one in stock too" Parker said with a chuckle.
