The Story of Parker Stone

Seriously? Now? (29 Days)

*Knock knock*
"Hey Parker, Can I come in"
Oh no it's my dad-"uhh yea just give me one second to get dressed". I throw on a purple flannel pajama bottoms and slide my Sam Smith t-shirt over my head. "Okay you can come in!"
My dad is amazing. Well most of the time. Yea he cares about my well being, but one mistake and he looks like an angry pit bull that has been set on fire.      As my dad walks in I can see exhaustion from his face. His blue eyes now grey and his red wavy hair is now being bombarded with white r. He sits by me on my bed.
"I know you don't like Mary," don't like it's more like hate with a lot of passion, "but, if you can just do what she says because it would bring a lot of stress of my back. And I know that me and you both can't deal with her nagging".
I start to giggle. "Yea I guess I'll try it's just... It's like "summer break" and I wanted to sleep in for the first day at least".
"Yea I understand what your saying.. Uh so what happened to your- you're face?"
Ahh the cut is on my face. Why wasn't I smart enough to cover it up with some make up. What do I do? What do I say? "Uh, so u know how last night I was sleeping over at Aubree's? Well, we were getting some papers organized and she bought some smelly, pink papers, just like in Legally Blonde, and she swiped a paper by my face and glided on my cheek giving me a-"
"Paper cut.. Yea"
   I want to slap myself in the face! He knows I'm lieing. "Well just come down stairs for breakfast after you're done getting ready." He closes my door and I can hear his footsteps start to walk away.
I take a deep breath. I'm relieved he didn't say anything about the bruises around my neck.

     After putting on my make-up and throwing my hair in a messy bun I struggle to put on my jeans. You know, the ones with wholes. The one where every time I put them on my foot seems to go throw that precise whole! I grab a white long sleeved, high collard, t-shirt and look in the mirror. Oh, what I would give to be a blonde.
     I run down stairs to smell the fresh pancakes. Mmm with the chocolate chips! (My dad really knows how to cook) 
     "So! What are your plans today? With you being out of school?"
     Why does my sister even care.. She probably just wants something out of me... I think it's a ride. "Nothing right now maybe head over to Aubree's house or something, why?"
     "Well-" Haha I knew it. "I kinda wanted to go over to Marlee's house. Her birthday is today and I was wondering if you would maybe, kinda, sorta want to drive me over there?"
     "Fine.. What time?"
     " 30 mins... But your already ready and there is Starbucks on the way so maybe after you take me you can chill with Sailor."
     Sailor.. Almost forgot about that.       " Yea sure, be in the car in 30."

     " Kay bye, thanks for driving me!"
     " Mmhm no problem" I'm really craving Starbucks right now though, to be honest. I drive off listening to Adele singing her song in the most beautiful tone. Just kidding, I can't sing, haha. But her words are hitting me hard right. I get out of my car and shut the door. As I began to walk away someone grabs my hand. I turn around I almost faint. It's sailor. And he looks pissed.
    "Get in the car now, Ella!"
