I walked into school next day and straight to my locker with a tall blonde boy following me, causing me to roll my eyes.

"What the hell do you want?" I spat opening my locker and glaring at him.

"Looks like someone isn't in a good mood." He smiled leaning up against the locker next to me.

"No, because a tall giraffe is following me around and won't leave me the fuck alone. What the hell did I tell you? Don't talk to me in school." I raised my voice slamming my locker and walking off. Maybe I was harsh but the kid had to learn somehow.

As soon as lunch started Luke was standing by the door and when he saw me he came up to me.

"Luke.." I muttered glaring at him. He rolled his eyes and grabbed my wrist dragging me out to the back of the school.

"Where the hell are we going?" I asked as he kept pulling me. My phone started to ring and i noticed it was Ava's babysitter.

"Luke let go of me. Ava's babysitter is calling me." I said trying to get my wrist out of his grasp. He finally let go, letting me answer the call.

"Hello? Oh my god. Yeah ok. Tell her I'll be there in a few minutes. Ok thanks, bye." I said sighing and putting away my phone.

"I gotta go home. Ava is acting up." I said starting to walk around the school building to the other side where my car was.

"Then I'm coming with." He said following me. I stopped and turned around.

"Who said you could just follow me around whenever you want?" I asked glaring at him.

"Why are you being such an asshole today?! I'm not leaving you until you tell me." He shouted throwing his arms in the air.

"Piss off Hemmings." I said rolling my eyes as I hurried to my car.

"What, you're gonna just ditch school to go see your sister?" Luke asked getting in the car with me.

"Yes Luke, I am." I said through gritted teeth.

"So you should stay." I said unlocking the door for him to get out but he replied with putting on his seatbelt.

I rolled my eyes and started up the car.

"So are you gonna answer my question?" Luke asked a minute later.

"Oh my god Luke. Why the hell does it matter? I don't need to be nice to you. I don't need to be nice to anyone!" I shouted looking at him before quickly putting my eyes back on the road.

"If you didn't like being nice to people you wouldn't leave school to go take care of your sister. And don't use the excuse well she's my sister but if you didn't care about people you wouldn't do this." He said not taking his eyes off me.

"Why can't you just tell me why you act so mean? I know you're a good person, you just only show your family that side." He said softly this time as I pulled into my driveway.

"My dad." I said before getting out and slamming the door, quickly walking inside the house.

"Parker?!" Beth shouted running over to me.

"Thank God you're here. She's throwing a fit and won't talk to me. I gotta get going? Could you watch over?" She asked grabbing her purse.

"Yep sure. Bye Beth. Sorry about Ava.." I said handing her some money before walking into her room. She looked at me and kept screaming. Luke walked in behind me and she started to slowly stop.

"I got this." Luke said quietly moving me out of the way and sitting down next to Ava. 10 minutes later Luke came out with a happy Ava in his arms.

"Hey princess. What happened?" I asked taking her from Luke.

I mouthed a thank you to him and sat down on the couch with her. She shook her head and laid her head on my chest. I looked at Luke who said he'll tell me later.

"I told Michael that you were upset and he said he'll take you out for ice cream when he gets home from school ok?" I told her and she nodded closing her eyes.

"Hey can we talk about earlier? What you said in the car?" Luke asked and I sighed.

"Not right now." I said frowning slightly.

Luke sat in silence with me as Ava slept in my lap and Michael came in 3 hours later.

"Hey i had a few tests that I couldn't skip. She okay now?" Michael asked before quickly kissing me.

"Yep, she's good but she was excited to see you." I said as Ava slowly started to wake up.

"why was she upset?" He asked picking her up.

"No idea. She would only tell Luke." I said just as he came out of the bathroom. Michael raised his eyebrows at me before smirking.

"Well alright. I'll leave you guys alone now." He said smiling at me before walking out the door.

"Michael takes such good care of Ava. He's gonna be a great dad some day." Luke said sitting down next to me.

"Mhmm.." I said looking at the floor.

"So. About your dad.." Luke started and I sighed standing up.

"There's nothing to talk about with him involved! He's gone ok? Fucking gone forever. The bastard is locked away in jail so if you want some damn answers go there." I shouted as tears started to stream down my face.

"I think you should leave." I said wiping under my eyes as Luke tried to step closer to me.

"Get out." I mumbled and he sighed running a hand through this hair. He then turned around and walked out the door. That's when I lost it.

I picked up the lamp and chucked it across the room. I fell on the ground screaming and crying remembering what happened the last night he was here with us.

I looked down at the scars on my arms from him. He's the one who causes me so much pain. He's the reason i hate everyone. He's the reason for everything. My phone started beeping causing me to jump.

I got up and walked over to it to see Calum's name flashing on the screen.

From-Calum
open the door it's starting to rain.

Confused, I stood up and walked to the door to see a wet Calum standing on my porch.

"What the hell are you doing here." I asked pulling him inside as there was a boom of thunder.

"Luke said you could use a hug." He said holding out his arms. I sighed wrapping my arms around him.

"What else did he tell you?" I asked as we walked over to the couch.

"That my oh-so-tough Parker was crying because of him." He said and I rolled my eyes.

"That's a lie." I mumbled wiping under my eyes.

"But really, what's up?" He asked taking me to the couch and  wrapped his arm around my shoulder as I leaned into him. I shook my head.

"It's nothing Calum. Thank you for coming over though. I really needed one of your Hood hugs." I said and he smiled down at me.

"I wish you were always this nice to me." I heard him whisper softly and I looked up at him with sad eyes.

"I'm sorry Cal." I said kissing his cheek.
