I get home and go to my room. I change into a pair of Spider-man pajama pants and a Sherlock hoodie. I climb under the covers and lay down in my bed. I open my phone and see I have a text from Sophia.
Sophia: hey

"Are you serious?!" I yell. I get up and walk downstairs, "I'm taking the car, dad!"
"Where are you going in your pajamas?" he asks from the living room.
"My friends"
"What friend?"
"Parker"
"You're boyfriend?"
"Oh yeah I forgot to tell you about that. The date was fake, I was a cover up for Ben. Parker and Ben are dating"
"Oh...ok then. Be back before midnight unless you're spending the night"
"Ok, bye" I say and grab the keys. I go out to the car and drive to Parkers house. It's around 3pm by the time I get there. I knock on the door and see one of Parkers brothers.
"Is Parker here?" I ask.
"Yeah but he's not in a great mood" Jacob says.
"Of course he isn't. Why would the universe be helpful today?"
"What?"
"Nothing. In his room, right?"
"Uh, yeah. But you can always hang out with me in my room" he smirks and winks.
"Not happening, Jake" I fake smile and go upstairs. I open the door and see Parker with his head resting on his knees.
"Parker? You ok?" I ask. He jumps and looks up. He wipes the tears off of his face.
"Yeah. Hey" he fake smiles.
"What happened?"
"Don't worry about it. You look worried....and pissed"
"We'll talk about that later. Now, tell me what happened and who I'm supposed to kill"
"Shouldn't I be saying that to you?"
"Parker, are you implying that because I'm a girl I can't kill someone?"
"You can be so dramatic sometimes. No, Sophia, I am not implying that"
"Good"
"Seriously though, what's your problem?"
"What's yours?"
"You first"
"No, you"
"You"
"You"
"Just say it count of 3 or something! I wanna know!" Jacob says from the other side of the door.
"Fuck off, Jacob!" Parker yells. A few seconds pass and we hear a door down the hall close.
"On the count of 3?" I ask.
"Yeah" he says.
"1......2........3" we both count.
"My parents want to send me to conversion therapy" Parker says.
"Ben's abusive ex is back and doing the same thing he used to" I say.
"WHAT?!" we both exclaim.
"Conversion therapy?!" I yell.
"Um....yeah" he says.
"Are you fucking serious?!"
"Yep"
"Pack your fucking bags"
"What?"
"Get the fuck up and pack your things. You're staying with me"
"Sophi--"
"This is not up for discussion" I say sternly. He nods and packs his bags. We walk downstairs without anyone noticing and go out to my car. He throws the 2 bags he packed in the backseat, gets in the passenger side, and I start driving.
