18. How Could You?

"What happened?" My dad asks, barging into the bathroom.

"You called dad?" I ask Cameron and he nods "Why?"

"Because, I was worried and you weren't answering me" He sighs. I get down from the sink, and try to leave the bathroom, but my dad stops me.

"Oh my, look at your hand" He frowns, looking at my bruising hand. He grabs my wrist and pulls me to my room, opening the door, a gasp leaving his mouth "Parker! Look at this place"

"I didn't mean to" I shake my head "I'm sorry"

"What did you do?"

"I don't know" I shrug "I was crying and then I just started messing everything up. I couldn't help it" I sigh "I'm sorry"

"It's alright" He wraps his arms around me, and kisses the top of my head.

"Dad, I need to talk to you" Cam peeks his head into my door, and my dad nods.

"I'm going to be right back, okay?" He says and I nod. He lets me go and walks out of my room, cracking the door behind him.

I sigh as I examine my room. Holes in the wall from repeated punches. My tv smashed from being caught under my dresser as I tipped it over. Small useless things that scattered around my dresses broken and laying on the floor. Everything had escalated so quickly.

I take a few steps back absentmindedly, my ears perking when I hear Cameron mention Austin "-I didn't know what happened, it just all happened so quickly"

"Cameron, you can't just do that. I'm glad you're sticking up for your sister, but what if he presses charges?"

"I doubt he will. I mean, he didn't even fight back" Cameron says, and I gasp quietly, opening the door.

"You hurt him?" I ask, my lip quivering.

"Parker" Cameron sighs.

"How could you?" I ask, my eyes pooling with tears.

"Parker, you can't seriously be sticking up for him right now" Cameron huffs "He took advantage of you, he played you and you're pissed at me because I gave him what he deserved? What is going on in your head?"

"I have to go see him" I try to walk past my brother and dad but they stop me and I frown.

"Parker, no"

"Please, I have to make sure he's okay. Please" I beg, my voice wavering.

"You need to stop. Go back into your room and lay down"

"No, I need to go see him" I push through them, sprinting down the steps. I grab my dads car keys on the way out, getting into his car. My brother and dad run out after me, my brother keeping the door from closing and pulling me out of the car.

"Stop! Please" I sob.

"You need to stop" Cameron holds me tightly as I try to break out of his grip "Parker, please. He's not worth it"

"I can't" I cry "Please, I love him"

"I know you do" He hugs me, rubbing my back "I'm so sorry" He sighs, leading me back into my house "Lets get you in bed" He says, taking me to his room, which is much cleaner than mine. He lays me down in his bed and hands me the remote "I have to go back to school, but I'll call you okay?"

"Okay" I nod, and he turns to walk away "Wait!" I stop him before he leaves, and he turns around "Can you say sorry to him?"

"Are you ser-"
