The Masochist (Completed)

March 22, 2014

Parker looked through her drawers for something to wear. She had 10 minutes before she had to go. She pulled out a pair of ombre green shorts and a white tank top. She slid on some white flip flops and put her hair in a sloppy ponytail. Her  phone started ringing.

"I'm here."

"Im coming. Were taking my car."

"Alright."

She shoved her phone in her pocket. Took one last look in the mirror and then exited her house. She watched the red ford focus back up out of the drive way so she would be able to pull out. It parked on the curb in front of her house and Hale got out.

"Hey Haley baby I missed you." She smiled hugging him.

"Me and Aedan have missed you to Parks."

She glared at him and he threw his hands up in surrender.

"To soon. Sorry."

They got in her car and started driving.

"So exactly what did you need help with?"

"Well you know how Cameron got me that guitar and he's being just being so nice and there for me and shit since this whole Aedan thing?"

"Yes which y'all need to fix because I miss my boyfriend and my brother misses you."

"Yeah sorry. I've been trying to get him to leave me alone but he's so fucking stubborn."

"Tell me about it." he rolled his eyes.

She pulled the small stack of pictures out of the compartment next to her seat and handed then to Hale. He started looking through the stack.

"Woah this is dope."

"I know right" Parker smiled feeling proud of her best friend for drawing it.

"Is this your leg?"

"Yeah Cammy wouldn't shut the fuck up so I gave him my leg and a marker and this is what he created."

"Damn he's good."

"Exactly that's why I want to something special for him. He's been the bestest best friend in the world lately."

"So what are you going to do?"

She parked in front of her cousins tattoo shop.

"I'm getting it tattooed on me for real but not on my leg. Up my side."

"So then why am I needed?"

"I need you to help keep Cammy busy until it's finished. Its gonna peel for a few days. Your job is very important. I don't care what you do. Fuck him senseless fly him to new York. but whatever you do keep him away from me."

"Cam is really stubborn this might be harder then I thought."

They entered the tattoo shop.

"Drawing and grapes keeps him occupied. So just keep that up."

"Parker?"

Parker turned to see her cousin Jordan sitting behind the desk.

"Hey Jordy. Long time no see."

"Your telling me. Fam still ignoring you?"

"Yeah anyway girl I need a tattoo done."

Jordan looked back at Hale with a questioning look.

"Cameron's boyfriend."

"Ahh how is Cameron by the way?"

"That's actually why I'm here. Cameron drew this and I want it tattooed on me." Parker said handing her cousin the pictures.

"ooohh this is dope. Where do you want it?"

"Up my side."

"Well let's get it started."

4 hours later Parker was done getting her tattoo colored and all that. Her side was sore and she was ready to go home and nap so Hale drove.

"Do you think he's going to like it?"

"Year especially since you got it in his favorite color."

The stem started at the top of her thigh and the was right below the side of her boob. The stem was black and the rose was red. She thought about green but she was scared that if the the color fainted its give her skin a sickening yellowish tone to it.

"Oh shit."

"What's wrong?" Parker asked.

Her mouth drop when she saw Cameron's car sitting in the drive way.

"What do we do?" Hale asked turning the car off.

"You get in your car and leave as fast as you can. I'll deal with Cammy."

The both hoped out the car and hassle made a dash for his car and Parker ran to her door. She took a few deep breaths and then entered.

"Cammy are you here?"

"You're room."

She walked to her room. Cameron was lounging on the bed watching 21 jump street. He grabbed a white box off her nightstand and haves it to her.

"This was on your porch."

She opened up the light weight heavy box. It was a cake. Red velvet to be exact and there was another white card. She plucked it from on top of the cake and opened it. Need.

"Need? This is so weird."

"So why was Hale's car outside?"

"Hhale? Pfftt what are you talking about. He uh he wasn't here. You silly head you." She stuttered plastering a fake smile on her face.

"How do you become a bad liar?"

"In not lying!"

"I saw him run and jump in his car like his life depended on it."

"Okay he was just helping me with something."

"Something what?"

"Nothing."

He stared at her for a few minutes.

"Is there something you should tell me?"He asked suspiciously.

"Nope. It's nothing really."

He wanted to believe her but she was trying to hard to cover something up.
