Side Effects (Parker's POV)

Chapter 4

I woke up on Dallas's couch. I looked around and saw Carly on the other side and the rest of our crew on the ground. Carly looked cute. Her eyes seemed to squint in her sleep. I got up and took my shirt off. I needed to change. I quickly grabbed an extra one from the ground.

I looked over at Carly and she seemed to squint more. Weird.

Dallas was awake and I saw a guy leaving the house. Dallas saw me staring and put his finger to his mouth trying to make me be quiet. Oh Dallas, you're so gay.

After the guy left Dallas took me out side making sure not to wake people.

"Let me explain!" he begged.

"Dallas it's cool," I laughed.

"Woah really? Most friends would get pissed I had sex behind their backs," he looked relived.

"Nah," I smiled, "you're good."

We walked back in and Carly had her eyes open. She awkwardly got up and woke up the rest of the crew. It was Sunday today so school will start up tomorrow. I had an amazing weekend with these guys though. They're all incredible.

Mac got up and kissed Lille. They're goals.

I looked over at Carly. She smiled at me and walked over to me. She got extremely close to me. Her lips were next to my ear and she whispered.

"We need to talk."

I nodded and she took me upstairs to Dallas's room. We closed the door. She sat on his bed and I sat next to her.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Can I tell you something?" she looked nervous.

"Of course," I replied. I'm praying to god it's about her liking me. If it is, I'm the luckiest boy on earth.

"Well," she paused, deeply inhaling, "Parker....I'm in love with you."

I couldn't believe it. The girl I've loved for years loves me. She actually loves me. And I love her too. My heart couldn't take it. It was going to explode. My body felt like it was running a marathon and I was filled with confetti. My legs felt like jello and my arms were weak. She was such an amazing, beautiful girl. And she could have anyone in the world. And she likes me.

"Carly...you do?" I asked still not believing.

"Yes!" She smiled.

She leaned in to kiss me. I was so excited. My heart was pounding.

"Baby.........wake up...wake up!"

I opened my eyes and saw Carly shaking me awake. I bolted up and saw all my friends trying to get me up.

"Are you that heavy of a sleeper?" Mac asked.

"No, sorry, just a really good dream," I smiled.

Carly and I stayed at Dallas's house and hung out with them for a while. Carly made breakfast before I woke up so I ate that. After a while the whole crew was leaving Dallas because his parents would be home soon. So Carly and I left as well. We got in my car and she turned on the music.

"Oh man, Taylor swift!" she cheered.

I rolled my eyes, "Trash music."

"Says the guy listening to what? Eminem and shit?" she laughed.

"Fuck you," I tickled her to tease her, "He's a brilliant artist."

"'Brilliant artist,'"she laughed mocking me,"Parker Preston 2k15."

I laughed and glared at her. She looked out the window and saw a hairy guy running.

"Dallas would suck his dick probably," she laughed.

"'Dallas would suck his dick probably, Carly Cassidy, 2k15," I mocked her back from mocking me.

She and I laughed and stared into each other's eyes. Her eyes were so beautiful in the sun light. Her brown eyes had sunny rays running on them.

I pulled up to her door and she noticed something was wrong. There was two unknown cars two her outside and she knew something wasn't right.

"Hey can you stay in here I'll be back soon, okay?" she assured me asking me.

"Okay I guess I'll stay here," I smiled.

She left the car and quickly walked into her house. She closed the door and I didn't see her. I sat in that car thinking about her beauty, my new friends, how Dallas would totally suck that one guy's dick, and my life. It was turning into a heaven. Not as much as a hell. If she likes me. Then I don't care if I got to hell or heaven. The reason why is, it's not heaven without her there, and it ain't hell with her there.

I smiled in the thought of her with me.

After a long time, she still wasn't back. I got scared and couldn't take it any longer. I got out the car and walked into her house. I then saw a guy looking around the house and anther one with Carly's mom. But then I saw one of them touching Carly's ass. It looked like Carly was protecting Ava.

I got absolutely pissed. I rushed over to the guy touching Carly. I pushed him away from here and punched him in the face. The guy looking at their stuff came over but I hit him as well. I can't believe I'm doing this. I picked up Ava and put her out side the house. I then grabbed Carly's hand and made sure she ran out of the house.

"Get to my car! You two will be safe!" I yelled.

I punched the one guy getting up back down. I wanted to help Carly's mom but she looked fine with these guys.

I ran outside and got in the car. Ava was in the backseat and Carly was in passenger. Carly held my hand and we drove off. She rested her head on my shoulder. My face got red.

After a bit of driving I decided to take Carly to my house. The only time my dad and mom doesn't hate me or shoe they don't is when people are over. I looked back at Ava.

"Do you remember me Ava?" I asked, "You were very young and Carly and I were barely friends.

"Yes I do, you're Parker. She never stopped talking about you but eventually our mom made her stop by dating guys," she smiled.

Carly blushed but stayed silent.
