"Hey Want to go out tonight?" I ask Vince.

"Sure, what time should I pick you up?" He asks, "and where are we going?"

"There's a bonfire tonight at eight."  I say grinning at the phone.

"See you at seven thirty." He says before hanging up.

I leave my phone on the bed as I search through my closet. Finding a skirt, I pair it with a black lace see through shirt. Oh. Yes. I put it on my bed and get out a black bra to go under neath. This will be a fire fit. 

When I'm done changing I walk out and look in the mirror. My body fits it nicely and the shirt adds a teasing addition. I'm not planning on being affectionate with Vince but he'll think I am. I put on a pare of short boots and walked out the door. 

Sitting down stairs I check my phone, no messages. I don't want to here from Parker right now anyways.

I turn my phone off and put it in the pocket of my skirt before the doorbell rings. Vincent gives me a warm smile.

"Hey." He says.

A little sum up of Vincent is he is really preppy, he's the typical good boy. He has his sexual side when he's drunk but it never get's too far. I guess that's why I don't like a lot of nice guys like him, I have to like guys like Parker. I like him. I'm also really hurt, so let's get the show on the road.

When we get there a half hour later, everyone is talking and drinking. I guy I talk to here and there hands me and Vincent cups and I take a sip confirming it's beer. 

Vince finds a spot for us to sit around the fire, I look around at everyone and stop when I see Parker. Great. What the hell is he doing here? I didn't even think he knew about the damn thing. When he sees me his smile drops, I look away and focus on what people are talking about.

"Let's play a game." A girl named Chelsea says, "Of spin the bottle."

Everyone cheers and the game is set up, me and Vincent join in but Parker doesn't thankfully.

A few people go until one guy, an attractive one, spins and it stops on me. He stands and makes his way to me. Our lips become inches apart until I blink once and he's on the floor. I look down at him in complete shock, then back to a body standing next to me.

"Parker." I breath speachless.

He stands there looking mad and upset, I watch as he runs past me and through the woods. 

A couple people help the guy on the ground who's groaning and I walk out with Vince.

                                                                       ***************

I'm sitting on my bed while watching TV until my phone goes off.

Caller ID unknown.

"Hello?, who is this?" I answer.

"It's Parker's Stepsister." A girl says.

"Wait, what?, Why are you calling me?" I ask.

"Parker came home pissed off and started slamming things around repeatedly saying your name." She says in a worried tone.

I don't respond, I'm processing it all.

"Could you maybe get down here and I'll tell you a little more." She asks.

"Sure, I'll be there in four minutes." I say before hanging up.

I quickly grab a random jacket and slip it on then head downstairs and through the front door. As I drive I really hope he's okay. If he's okay? No, if that guy is okay. Actually I don't care about him so I guess Parker. 

I pull alongside the curb and get out, walking up the steps to the front door. It's opened slightly so I walk in to find a blonde girl cleaning the counter of glass.

"Hey." I say.

"Hey, I'm sorry to call this late but he seemed like he'd want to talk to you." She says.

"It's okay." I say.

"Okay well, he's out back in the garden." She says.

"I'm-"

"I know, he was yelling your name." She says with a chuckle, "I'm Samantha."

"I'm just going to go to him now." I say awkwardly before walking out the back.

I look for him in all of the darkness before spotting his lovely figure sitting on a bench.

"Hey." I say quietly.

He doesn't answer, he only looks at me.

"What're you doing here?" He asks taking a gulp of the bottle in his hand.

"Put that down... and I came to see you." I say.

He takes an other gulp, not listening, "Why?, aren't you busy with your boyfriend to give a shit where I am?" He asks.

My heart sinks, I couldn't want to give a hug more right now. How could he possibly think that? Just because I was mad? 

He continues to take gulps, "Please stop!" I snap.

He swishes it around and drops it on the ground making it splatter.

"Why'd you do that?" I ask.

"I... Reall...Lik." He mumbles.

I crouch down and begin to pick up the glass, "Stop, Lizzy, stop." He says.

I ignore him being careful with the sharp edges, He grabs my shoulders.

"Stop." He says quietly.

I stand and drop the glass making it bounces on the floor. He stands and walks to me as I help him through the house and to his room.

It's decorated nicely and the posters he has are nicely hung. I lay him on his bed and cover him up. 

"You look cute." He groans.

I look down at the jacket down knowing it's his jacket. He chuckles into his pillows, I turn off his lamp and walk toward the door.

"Good night Hermoso." I say leaving his room.
