Accidentally Good & Bad

Chapter 27: Parker Wilson

This whole situation is pretty fucked up if you ask me.

I can't believe she actually ran the fuck away! Life is really hard but it might just have been even harder for Manhattan Hood, hard enough to make her run away. Life hasn't been easy for her ever since she was born; her parents quickly divorced, she was separated from her mom and twin sister, she started getting bullied, and things just kept getting worse. Yes, she met us and things started to get a little better, but solutions can only stay solutions for so long.

Brooklyn came back and turned out to be a bitch. And I, yes Parker Wilson, got hit by a drunk driver and fell into a coma. Not to mention I was an asshole to Manhattan at first. Some rat-ass side effect twisted my memories of Manhattan so that I would hate her. It's over with now, thank goodness.

Just when Manhattan's life was getting good; I woke up, Will and her became closer, and Archer and Manhattan fell in love.

Yes, the Archer Scott fell in love. Before the three of us moved to Monterey to attend Decker High, Archer told Will and I that he was ashamed of his lifestyle. His lifestyle being flirting and kissing girls who didn't mean anything to mean. He was like that at Decker too.

Until we met Manhattan of course. But Manhattan changes everyone for the better. She just like that.

Oddly enough, I'm not jealous of them. Should I be? I used to have feelings Manhattan, and I know now she used to have them for me, but I'm not jealous. I don't feel a spark of anger whenever Archer calls Manhattan 'babe'. Never when they kiss, or hug, and touch. I still love Manhattan- of course I do! Who couldn't, with her beautiful eyes that captivate and her smile that can lift you out of the baddest moods.

But maybe, I don't love her like that anymore. Maybe this is how Will loves her.

"Parker!"

I whip by head over to the sound of a familiar voice, my mom. "Yeah Mom?"

My mom steps into my room, her hands twisting awkwardly. She was away for a long time, leaving me home alone. She was in rehab, not a drug rehab. But a rehab to get her to stay away from my father, who isn't the best man in the world. Maybe he's the worst, but I don't really care. My mom's been gone so long we don't know how to treat each other anymore.

"Honey," She begins slowly. "Please don't overreact about this."

I run my hands through my dark brown hair and shift my glasses. I wear contacts to school but when I'm at home I like to wear my glasses. "Whatever, it's fine Mom. Just tell me."

She sighs, suddenly looking tired and ten times her age. "Lucille is here."

The three of us, Archer, Will and I, we all didn't just miraculously and coincidently move to Monterey. We moved here because we were running away from something.

Archer ran away from the person he had become. The bad boy who liked to mess with girls feelings. He ran away from who he had become to find who he really was.

Will ran away from something personal. Even he hasn't revealed that to any of us. Only time will tell. Or heal.

And me? I ran away from a girl. It's Lucille Moorad.

"Fuck!" I shout, jumping to my feet, hands running through my hair.

"Parker Creed Wilson!" My mother gasps, scolding me for my cuss.

"Mom, I don't really care! All I do care about is getting that girl out of our condo!"

Everything just keeps getting worse! Manhattan is still gone, Archer is getting more and more depressed, Will and I are bending ourselves backward to make sure he's okay, and Manhattan's parents are out of their mind worried! And Brooklyn the Bitch is bitching at everyone!
