"What the hell is going on?" 

Brennon was pissed. I could just feel the anger radiate off him. Blushing deeply, I leaped off Liam and to my feet. 

"It's really not what it looks like, Brennon. He came over to check on me."

"Check on you? What for?"

"Um...Just to check in I guess. Hang out."

"What was hanging out? Parker, why were you on top of him?"

"We weren't- we...I'd never cheat on you! I love you, Brennon. I-"

"I was tickling him earlier and he was getting his revenge. I wouldn't dream of putting him in danger."

Liam said, standing as well.

"I'll be on my way. Parker, call me if you need."

Our eyes met as he walked past me. A look in his eyes said i'm sorry, call me if he hurts you.

I hated that look.

"Damn, it's really cold out there, huh?"

I said, removing my coat and placing it over the back of the small wooden chair in Liam and I's favorite Coffee place, Cube.

"Yeah.." 

He answered, but his eyes weren't on mine. Instead, they rested near my shoulder and arm. On the slight purple bruise that had already started to take shape.

"That from last night?"

He asked, pulling his eyes away and sitting down.

"Huh? Oh, this? Haha..Yeah. It's fine really. Doesn't hurt."

"I see..."

A long awkward moment of silence filled the air until our waitress came to ask us what we wanted.

"Uh.. Cappuccino."

I answered, with a small smile.

"And for you?"

She asked, turning to Liam. He was very...zoned out.

"Liam?"

I called, slightly worried.

"Hum? Oh, ah yes. Espresso please."

"Alrighty. Be back shortly.

She walked away, leaving me and Liam alone again.

"Hey...You alright? You zoned out pretty hard right there."

"Yeah i'm good...Parker?"

"Uh, yeah?"

"Do you love Brennon?"

I choked on the air I was sucking into my lungs. Through coughing, I answered.

"Y-yes! What's that about?"

"I just wanted to know..since you put up with his constant abuse."

I blushed.

"I do love him. A lot, actually. I think of him all the time."

"That so?"

"Y-Yeah! What's this about?"

"Nothing, really."

"If you have something to say, say it Liam."

"Fine."

He sighed.

"I don't think he loves you. And I don't think you love him."

"Wha-? Thats crazy! I love him with all my heart! And he...he's never been with a guy before. He's just...new at it, is all. And anyway...I-It's not like it's everyday..The abuse..."

"Almost."

"Can you just stop...please?"   

"Okay. I'm sorry. For that."

He motioned to the bruise.

"But not for prying."

He finished. I blushed deeper and looked down at the table. Cupping my hands together in my lap. A small laugh slipped my lips.

"I know you care, Liam. I know you don't want to see your friend hurt but...It's my problem. Okay?"

I was to scared to look him in the eye.

"Okay."

His answer was short and low. He stood suddenly, pushing back his chair.

"I'll be leaving early. I have some work to finish still." 

"O-Oh. Okay."

"Here, my money for my coffee. And give the girl a tip for me, would you?"

He placed a five and a few ones on the table top in front of me.

"Yeah...Sure."

He slipped his coat on.

"I'll see you later."

"Bye."

My voice was slightly weak. Did I...upset him somehow? I only spoke the truth.

A moment later the waitress came back and sat both cups down.

"Your friend leave?"

She asked.

"Wha- Oh, yeah. Just a moment ago. Something...Something came up."

"Okay. Well, enjoy."

A smile still on her face. Does she not know the pain other go through? Why...Why can I not smile so freely?

-=+=-

My hands where freezing. Oh how nice a freaking trip to the sun would be right now.. 

I pulled said cold hands from there hiding spots in my coat pockets when my phone buzzed. A message from Brennon. Smiling, I opened it.

'Wanna meet at the park? Since u where at the Cube I thought we could chill haha get it? its cold.'

I smiled. Yeah, no doubt I loved this fool.

'Ok sure. I'll be right there.'

'Sweet'

I walked down the side walk after putting my phone and hands back into my pockets. I found Brennon sitting on a park bench not far from the entrance. A guy stood near him, and they where talking. I...didn't know who it was though. As I got closer, they stopped talking and the guy left. Walking in the opposite direction of which I came.

"Who was that?"

I asked, sitting next to him.

"Hmm? Oh. Nobody. Don't worry."

"Okay. I just wanted to know if you where fri-"

"Fucking hell Parker. Can't you trust me?"

I was shocked by the sudden out burst.

"Wh-What? Of course I trust you, babe!"

 I leaned in and kissed his cheek. He shoved my shoulder and I sat back down.

"S-Sorry.."

He sighed.

"It's what ever. Anyway, you wanna go out to eat tonight?"

I brightened up.

"Y-Yeah! Sounds great!" 

He smiled warmingly.

"Great. It's a date then."
