How did you sleep Hermosa? - The Hart kid

No thanks - Me
See ya later - The Hart kid
Okay - Me
I roll out of be with a unerasable smile. In my closet I have to decide between a yellow or blue t-shirt. I end up going with the blue and a pair of black jeans, there's a knock at the door. Rushing down stairs to open it I'm surprised by the appearance of Ms.Hart.
"Hey, are you doing good?" She asks.
"Very." I say smiling, "The house is clean and organized, nothing is broken."
She gives me a short laugh before saying, "Good to hear."
"Is that all?" I ask.
She nods before shaking my hand, "Thank you."
"For what?" I ask confused.
"For giving my son a better story." She says.
I feel my smile slide off my face in deeper confusion. "What?" I ask.
"All he does is talk about how great and beautiful you are." She says laughing, "Well, I'll be on my way."
I watch as she leaves, What does she mean? He really means the stuff he says? I've had thought about him being genuine, but it never stuck around due to his flirty comments.
Did I like him? Does he like me?
Maybe that's why I pushed him away so much. I didn't want to believe I actually liked him, maybe I do. No, I do. I groan internally. How am I supposed to know he's not going to hurt me?
I guess I won't.
I walk back to my room and lay down with my phone in my face.

I turn off my phone and head out to my car. I do want to talk to him about everything but sometimes I don't know.
When I pull up to his house I knock twice and wait. The door swings open and I see Blake's face smiling at me.
"Hey." I say caught off guard.
"Oh, hey, you here for the party?" He asks.
"Yeah!" I lie.
I walk in to see everyone talking, dancing, and drinking. Grabbing a cup of beer I begin to look around for Parker. When I get to the living room it's filled with people sitting in a circle.
"Come play truth or dare!" A voice called.
I give in and sit on a chair looking at the circle of people.
"Let's begin." A girl said.
People did body shots, and told embarrassing stories until it got to me.
"Ellie, truth or dare?" A guy asks.
"It's Liz and of course DARE!" I smile.
"Okay.... Liz I dare you to kiss... Parker." He says.
I watch as he smiles at me, getting closer I stand in front of him. He smiles down at me, as I stand with my stomach turning upside down.
"I can't." I say and turn.
His eyes flash pain as I walk away. I stand on the porch and click on Mary's contact.
"Where are you?" She asks, "It's loud."
"I know! I'm at Parker's fucking party." I say.
"What? he didn't tell us." She begins.
"I know, he told the boys though, we weren't supposed to come." I say.
"What'd you call for?" She asks.
"Could you pick me up?, I'm too drunk to drive." I ask.
"Yeah, I'll be there in twenty minutes." She says.
"Twenty?" I ask.
She hangs up and I shove my phone in my pocket frustrated. I guess I'll have to stay here longer than I wanted to. I walk out side to the sidewalk and wait to see Mary's car.
"Hey?" I hear a voice say.
"Hi, do I know you?" I ask the man who's about to fall over.
"Why don't you come inside with me?" He asks getting closer.
I back up as he keeps stepping towards me. I begin to panic at what his plans are. Shit! His body is turned and moved away from my now, shattered space bubble.
"Leave her alone!" Parker shouts, "If I see you near her again! I swear!"
The guy runs off down the street and I stand frozen. He seemed angry and upset until his eyes set on me. They softened with compassion and concern, is this real?
"You okay?" He asks.
I nod catching my breath and standing straight. Sitting on the side walk Parker flinches before saying, "I wouldn't sit there."
"I'm fine." I snap.
"What's wrong?" He asks.
"Why didn't you tell me you were having a party?" I ask.
"I didn't think you'd come or care." He says.
"You don't know me!" I raise my voice, "I care about the things you tell me!"
He frowns, his eyes drop to the floor. He's making me feel guilty when I shouldn't.
"You do?" He asks quietly.
"Yes, I do and I was going to talk to you tonight but you completely ruined it." I say.
He turns to walk away but I grab his arm and he shoots his head back.
"Stay." I say.
"Here." He says shrugging off his jacket.
"I'm not cold." I say.
He runs his hand down my arm, "You have goosebumps, just take it." He says.
I slide the jacket on revealing how big it is on me. He chuckles lightly when I roll the sleeves up my arms. I didn't have goosebumps because I was cold Parker.
"Thank you." I say.
"Yeah." He sighs sitting next to me
