a world of lies

chapter five

I drove into his neighborhood, feeling queasy. Thoughts poured into my mind like an ocean, waves hitting my head hard. I kept thinking of all the times I came here just to see him, how I would call him in the middle of the night to see him. 

"Parker," I whispered through the phone. 

It was the middle of the night.

"Yeah, what's up?"
"I need to see you, please."

"When and where?"
I smile plastered itself on my face, making me shiver.

"Five minutes and outside your house."

I hung up and crept down the stairs, heading outside quickly but quietly. I jumped into my car and pulled out, excited to see him. 

Once there, I saw him, standing there perfectly.

My Parker. 

I ran out, seeing the moonlight hit his face just right. 

"Why'd you need to see me?"
"I just wanted to talk to you," I said, looking into his eyes.

"Well I wanted to say something too."

"Yeah?"

Parker lifted my forehead, letting our eyes meet. 

"Be mine." 
And with that, he kissed me passionately. I wrapped my arms around his neck, running my fingers through his silky hair. Parker then pressed his forehead against mine.

Soon I was at his house. I walked up, knocking on the door. Averi, Parker's little sister, opened the door, immediately jumping ontop of me. 

"Mae! You're back! I missed you so much! Where have you been? Why haven't you visited? Don't leave! Your my big sister! Hey can-"

"Averi."
I turned and saw Parker, giving her the evil eye.

"Sorry," she said. " I'm guessing you want to hug her too."
"Um, no I'm good," Parker and I said the same time.

We looked at each other, and then back down to the floor.
