Trust Issues

Chapter 13 -- Mine

The ring was stunning. I couldn't believe it. It was rose gold with a bow on it. I put it on my ring finger.

It was a promise ring.
"Its perfect Parker." I told him.
He smiled and looked at me. His eyes were lit up.
"That's not all." Parker said with a smile.
"Babes. You don't have to do any of this." I said in shock.
"Hey. This is our night." Parker said as he pushed some loose hair out of my face.
I looked up at him and locked eye contact. He grabbed one of my hands. Our fingers interlocked. My hand fit perfectly into his. We both were looking down at our hands.
"You're perfect Leilani." Parker said as he looked up at me. "Perfect." He whispered.
I looked up at him. The light made his green/hazel eyes pop. I examined him for a little bit and looked back down at our hands.
I would have never thought that I would be here. Especially not with Parker. Anyone at my old school wouldn't want to be seen with me.
Parker was teaching me how to trust. He was showing me. He made me feel again.
I looked back up at Parker. "Thank you." I said as I felt tears coming down my face.
Parker looked stunned. "For what?" He asked.
"Teaching me how to trust again. Thank you for not leaving me." I said.
Parker looked down at. He pulled me closer still holding hands.
"I would never leave you Leilani." He whispered. "Ever."
I hugged me. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders and I told him "Don't ever leave me."
"I won't." Parker reassured me.
After awhile of hugging Parker backed away. I looked up at him noticing he still was holding my hand.
Parker kept looking at me. He wasn't breaking eye contact, and neither was I.
Parker leaned in. I was suddenly aware of my breathing.
"Parker. I -" before I could finish, he cut me off.
He put his pointer finger lightly on my mouth.
"Shh" he whispered. As his finger grazed my lip.
Parker wrapped his hand around my waist. He lowered his head into a kiss.
I put my hand gently on his chest as I leaned into the kiss.
He was warm. Suddenly, he pulled me closer. Parker's hand went up my shirt. His hands were cold against my skin. I shivered.
"Is this to much?" He asked me.
"No. Not at all." I whispered nearly out of breath.
Parker looked my face up and down.
He grabbed me and lifted me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist.
Parker started to walk up the stairs while he was still carrying me. He brought me over to his room. Parker sat me on the bed while he was still standing up.
  Parker leaned in as I laid back. The intensity was there. I could feel it. Parker took his jacket to this suit off and unbuttoned some of his shirt. I finished unbuttoning them.
Them moment kept getting more and more intense. It was like electricity. I went to go slide Parker's unbuttoned.
"Mm." Parker grunted. "I can't." He said as he got off of me.
I sat up and looked at him. I was confused. Why would he tell me this now? Did I do something wrong?
"It's not you." Parker said to me. I wasn't to reassured though.
"Then what is it?" I asked him as I went to go grab his hand.
Parker backed up so I couldn't touch him.
"I don't wanna talk about it." He said as I stood up. His head was down.
I walked over to him to grab his wrist "Parker..."
"I don't wanna talk about it!" he yelled.
I looked at him. His eyes were red and puffy. Something was making him upset, but he didn't trust me enough.
I felt my face turning red hot and I could feel my eyes watering.
I turned around. I wanted to be anywhere but here.
"Leilani." Parker said as he went to go grab my hand.
I yanked my hand away from him. "Don't touch me." I yelled. "Please. Don't touch me." I whispered.
I walked out of the room. I went outside to get my car when I realized it was still at the school.
Luckily, the school wasn't to far from Parker's house. I started walking.
It got a little cold, but I needed my car. I needed to breath.
I kept walking and walking turned into running. I kept running till I couldn't breath anymore.
Finally I got to the high school. My car was exactly where I left it. I had my keys in my purse. I unlocked my doors and hopped in. It was cold, or that could of just been me.
I turned it on and the headlights lit up immediately. They alluminated the whole school. I pulled out my phone and turned the heat on.
Suddenly, I saw something. A shadow. It was right beside my window. I screamed and the figure hit my window. It broke. I put my car in reverse, but before I could, the figure put their hand in and tried to grab me. I yelled and hit them.
I needed something to help me. I looked around. I saw Parker's house key sitting on the dashboard. I grabbed it and stabbed their hand.
A scream came out the mouth of the shadow. I pulled the key back out of their hand and booked it. I kept driving until I could no longer see the school. I drove back to Parker's. With him was where I felt safe. He made me feel safe.
I pulled into the driveway. I got out making sure to grab the house key and locked my doors.
I unlocked the front door and went inside. Behind me, I locked the door and sat against the door. I wanted to break down. I wanted to cry. Instead, I got up. 
I walked upstairs. I looked in the mirror. No one was going to make me cry. No one. I wiped my makeup off and put my hair in a bun. I started unpacking some of my boxes. I found some of my pjs pants and tank tops. I decided to change. As I sat on my bed, I noticed something. It was a necklace and a note. The note said ....
"I know everything didn't go as planned tonight, and I'm sorry for that. But I planned on giving you this tonight."
I picked up the necklace. It said "Parker" on it.

  "Here's my first name until I can give you my last." The note finished.
I picked it up and hugged it. I loved Parker. I still do.
I put it on. Perfect fit. I looked in the mirror to see it better. I loved it.
I continued to change out of my clothes. Parker was right. Nothing did go as planned, but it's fine.
I finished changing and unpacking. It was about 1am when I finished. I knew Parker would be sleeping. I decided to go into his room.
He looked like he was sleeping. I decided to hop in bed with him. I felt safe with him.
I crawled in bed with him. I rolled over to face him. He was facing me too. Parker's eyes were open.
He saw something was wrong. He looked at me for a minute. I couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Come here Leilani." Parker whispered.
He wrapped his arms around me and finally, I felt safe.
