"Parker?!" I screamed, jumping down from the seat and into  his  arms. 

"Willow, it's been forever," his surprisingly deep voice, melted into my ear.  

I pulled away with a big smile on my face, "Where have you been?"

"Well, my parents got a divorce and my mom wanted to move back here," Parker explained. 

"Aw, that sucks," I said with a frown.

"Nah, dad is an ass anyways. He has always been," he said rolling his eyes.

 His dirty blonde hair fell in front of face. Let me introduce you to Parker.

We were best friends,  we did everything together. He was also my first kiss, a  few days after that  he moved. To say I was upset is an understatement. Finally a couple months later I got a letter saying that he had to go  even though  he didn't want to. Eventually I  got over it, but a part of me always missed him. When he left he was a scrawny little boy, but now he has lean muscles and flawless features. 

"Yeah..can't deny that,"  I chuckled. 

A rough cough interrupted my moment with Parker. Remembering  that Henry was closely  standing next to me, I introduced them. 

"Parker, Henry. Henry, Parker," I smiled. 

Parker stuck out his hand for Henry to shake it, but he  didn't reciprocate the action. Of course he has to be an ass. 

"Who are you?" Henry crossed his arms. 

"Parker, I used to be Willow's friend before I had to move," he explained. 

"Why are you back?"  Henry questioned.

"You don't have to answer him-"

"Because my mom moved back," Parked hissed.

The male tension between the two was cutting through the air like a knife. 

"Henry, stop being an asshat," I rolled my eyes.

"I gotta go," Henry didn't even look at me before he stormed off.  

"Please don't tell me that's your boyfriend," Parker asked. 

"He's not, he probably will never  be,"  I said shooting glares at  the back of Henry's head. Could he be jealous? And even so of what? It's not like we were dating and Parker is a friend that I haven't  seen in a while. I decided to ignore  him  and hang out with my ex-best friend.

"Parker, would you mind taking my  hand, coming back to my house because I'm in my pj's, and then go to our cafe?" I asked.  

"Of course," he smiled. 

'         '      '       '          '          ' 

"No you didn't" I said taking a sip of my lukewarm coffee. 

"I swear, I tried to run away and come back  here. But it just never worked,"  he said shaking his head.

"I missed this," I sighed looking at the warm cafe and the cozy atmosphere.

"The cafe or?"

"I mean us. It was hard when you left," I said looking at him. 

He frowned, "I know. Well...do I have a replacement?"

I laughed, "Yeah, her name is Isabel and she's a pain in the ass but I love her to death." 

He pretended to cry, "I have been replaced."

I slapped his arm playfully, "Well,  what  about you. Girlfriends, besties, maybe boyfriends?"

"I'm not gay but I did have on girlfriend and it didn't work out," he sighed.

"Why?"

"Because I couldn't get another girl off my mind," he said looking me deep in the eyes.

"Well, she must be an angel to get the attention of Parker Night," I teased.

There was a moment of silence, "She is."

The look he gave me was full with something I couldn't comprehend. But I would be lying if it didn't take my  breathe away a little bit. Parker and I has always just  been friends except for that  kiss...There's no way. I pushed the weird feelings inside my stomach away and continued to talk to Parker about nothing.

'      '        '        '        '       ' 

After a long day of hanging with Parker,  I was in my bed finishing up some homework. I was blasting some music and had my window open, letting in some cool breeze. 

There  was two knocks on my  bedroom door. Probably just my mom asking me to do something. I stopped the speakers and went over. 

"Henry?" I asked.

"Can I come in?" he whispered.

I was still a little bit mad at him, but Parker made me completely  forget about his rather rude behavior.

I sighed and let him in. I closed my door and locked it, just in case my parents tried to open it. I'm not sure how he even got into  my house, but I didn't question his ways.

We both stood  across from each  other,  not saying anything.

"Is  there something you need to say?" I asked crossing my arms in front of my chest.  

"I wanted to apologize," he said. 

 "You can't be rude and then come running back saying you're sorry," I challenged.

"Look Willow,  I know I was wrong for doing it, but I came to say-"

"You're sorry," I finished for him. 

"Whatever,  this was a waste of my time anyways," he said  walking past me to leave.

I grabbed his arm, "Where are you going?"

"I don't know, maybe I'll hook up with a chick from school. Do you know anybody?" he spat at me. 

"Yeah, I do actually. Her name is Nina Black, she's blonde, busty, and annoying. Your type,"  I hissed at him. I felt some angry tears coming up.  

"Perfect!" he grinned. He opened the door and slammed it shut.

I picked up the nearest thing and flung it at the poor door. I rolled my eyes and let out a sigh of frustration. 

Fuck you, Henry.

I'm making another story because I'm not sure how I want to end this. I don't plan on making this long, maybe another 5-10 chapters. So I'm gonna take a break from Reputation  and I'll come back soon. I'll pop in and out to edit chapters. Bye!
