"Oh my god." I said, once I realized I was still on top of him. I rolled off of him onto the floor landing on my back.

"You know, most girls would die to be in your position," he said as he turned his body to face me. He started to play with the ends of my hair. "You know you look like a tomato right now?" He whispered into my ear, fanning it with his minty breath. I knew I looked like a tomato. I didn't even try to hide my blush.

"Um... I need to go!" I murmured. I got up and tried to run out to my room, but a hand stopped me. I looked behind my shoulder and saw Parker standing there, gripping onto my wrist.

"Don't go." He looked up from my wrist to my eyes.

"W-what?" I stuttered. I was flattered but curious.

"Never mind." he whispered under his breath and let go of my wrist. He walked to sit in his bed and glided a hand through his tousled hair.

Why is he frustrated?

Can't you see that he glided his hand through his hair? Guys do that when they're frustrated or confused.

True.

Parker looked up and saw me glued to my spot. I was really shocked of what had happened, that's all.

He told me not to go.

"I'm sorry. I'll go now." I whispered and ran towards my room before he could say anything.

********

It's been almost two hours since he's been out. He's probably out drunk with his friends, partying, or even with a... girl. When I thinking he was with a girl I felt something sharp in my chest.

Ever since what has happened in his room, I couldn't stop thinking about it.

"Don't go' what did he mean by that? Does he like me or did he need company? Hhmm, I think it's company." I said to myself while reading Winter by Marissa Meyer.

Parker's POV

It's been almost two hours since I blurted that out. I meant to do nothing.

"Shit! What's wrong with me?!" I shouted out into the ocean. I took my car to go to my secret spot above the beach. Nobody comes here because there's no path to it. I made my own path that wasn't noticeable. I never told anybody about this place, not even my bro, Antonio. I came here ever since my sister has gone to the hospital.

I never told anybody about my little sister. Whenever one of my bros wanted to come over to my house, I made up an excuse. I don't know why I ever did that though.

She became ill about three years ago. In the beginning, she was fine only coughing and sneezing occasionally. Until she started to cough out blood about two years ago.

FLASHBACK

"Jasmine! I'm home." I shouted throughout the house but didn't hear a response.

"Jasmine! Where are you?" I looked in the living room, kitchen, and bathroom but she wasn't there. I started to panic so I headed towards her room. I knocked loudly. I heard whimpering. I tried to open her door but it didn't budge.

"Jasmine, don't play games. Open up this door." I said with panic in my voice, and a hint of anger.

"I swear, Jasmine, if your with a guy I'm going to kill him." Of course I didn't mean. I'd just be really mad if she did lose her virginity already since she's only she's only 13. I'd just teach him a lesson.
