Fractured Fundamentals

parish and apologies

Rivers pov
Did he just call me parish? Who the nut balls is parish? "Who is parish?" He didn't say anything. Instead he just got up and adjusted his clothes. "Are you serious? Who is parish?" I kept questioning him. "Shes not important right now." Was all he could say. "Are you kidding me, Collin we're supposed to tell each other everything and here you are keeping secrets." I yelled getting mad. "Well sometimes there's things you put away on a shelf and they shouldn't be taken out ever again!" He said raising his voice at me. Whoever this girl was she must have meant alot to him. I seen the hurt in his eyes as well as I heard it in his voice. I decided to calm down. "Collin I'm sorry for getting aggressive. I just-- i don't want-" "what? You think I'm like Alex? Is that it?" Collin said not lowering his voice. "Babe I'm sure we can talk this out." I assure him. "No. I'm sorry River I should have never said her name or got mad at you. I just really used to have a crush on her and she broke my heart. Shes in the past now, right now is about me and you. Us." Collin said grabbing my hand. "Collin. I told you about me and Alex and it took me alot of courage to come out on that. If you don't want to tell me that's fine. I won't pressure you into telling me anything your not comfortable with." I say putting on my pajamas. I crawled in my bed and put the cover over my head. "Riv. Don't be mad at me, please." "I'm not mad. I'm just accepting the point that my own boyfriend won't even open up to me." "So your mad?" He asked. "No Collin." I said closing my eyes, trying to block him out. I can't believe after all the things I told him about Alex and how he broke my heart, he can't tell about that parish girl. I hope he can trust me one day as much as I trusted him.
Collin's pov
I didn't want for things to get worse than they already were, and it was too late for me to head back home so I put my pants on and left my shirt off and climbed in bed next to her. "I love you River." I said trying to give her as much room as I can. "Good night Collin." She said through tears I wish she wouldn't cry.
Terri's pov
Me and Casey have been watching movies and eating snacks for the past few hours since I got back home from a drama filled night. Casey passed out at the foot of my bed five minutes ago. I picked up my phone and seen that I had 18 unread texts from Benson, 3 missed calls from Conner and 1 missed call from River. You guys are probably wandering, but isn't river your best friend how come she only called once? Its because she knows how I am about drama and ive told her thousands of times not to worry about me. I hate to talk on the phone when I'm angry. The fact that she even called kinda ticked me off, but I still love her and I know she cared enough to at least call one time. I got up and picked up all the trash and candy wrappers from the floor and turned the TV off. As soon as I lie down to get some shut eye. My phone starts vibrating. I turn down the brightness and see that Benson was calling me at 2:00am. I decided to pick up. "What Benson?" I harshly say into the phone. "Oh thank goodness! are you okay? Why haven't you been answering your phone? I was worried about you." He said spilling questions like he had a time limit. "Benson listen. I'm sorry for the way I acted at River's place. I should have never ran out like that. And I want to know, that you promise to be truthful when I ask you this. Did you sleep with Lucy?" I asked. "No way! Did you even here the time period she gave? She said I was with her on Wednesday night. You wanna know where I was on Wednesday night? I was with you watching the little rascals on your laptop!" He said making me remember that night. "Ok Ben I trust you." I say but for some reason he kept going on. "I really have feelings for you Terri why would I waste time on something so irrelevant like Lucy? She doesn't even know how to spell her own name! And if you thin- wait what?" He said taking in what I said before. "I said I trust you Ben" I said once more before sitting up in my bed and sliding my shoes on. I heard him sigh with relief. "Oh thank God. So we're cool?" He asked. "Come to my place and stay in the car I wanna see you." I said throwing on my sweater and heading down the hall. "Sure thing babe. Don't wait outside I'll text when I'm there." "Okay. See you soon." I said ending the call. I know I shouldn't have given in like that but I'm sure I know his heart, and if he was playing me Conner would have told me. I pulled my hair in a bun and pulled Casey into a more comfortable position on my bed and put the cover over him. Wouldn't want him waking up grumpy. I stop at the kitchen to get a juice box when I heard a crashing noise outside. I ran to see what it was and when I did, my heart nearly shattered into a million pieces. This isn't happening I ran outside and fell to my knees realizing that my fear had came to life. "Benson....nooooo!" I screamed out loud. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole neighborhood heard me. My eyes started blurring and I fell to the ground. The last thing I heard was sirens wailing and Casey asking me if I'm alright. His voice faded in and out then in and out and in...
