[monsters_inside_us]

i sat on my bed waiting what to do what to do

[PerfectImperfections]

I stood under the warm water, grinning. It felt nice.

[monsters_inside_us]

his phone rang. i glanced at the door " parker." i said. he didn't reply. not really thinking i just answered it " hello?"

[PerfectImperfections]

I stepped out of the shower and dried off, wrapping my towel around my waist. When I walked into her room she was on my phone,"Bella? What're you doing? Who is on the phone?"

[monsters_inside_us]

i sighed and tossed him his phone " your dad." i said

[PerfectImperfections]

"Why did you answer it?"I asked, frustrated, gently taking the phone from her and walking into the bathroom, closing the door firmly.

[monsters_inside_us]

I sighed and put my face in the pillow." parker." I said

[PerfectImperfections]

"Yeah, Dad, I'll be home by cerfew,"I said gently hanging up. I got dressed in my uniform from work and walked out, staring at her.She had no right to answer my phone.

[monsters_inside_us]

I grabed his arm " no parker.." I said I looked up at him "im sorry!"

[PerfectImperfections]

"Why did you even touch it?"I asked, raising an eyebrow.

[monsters_inside_us]

I shrugged " I didn't really think about it..." I said softly looking down " im sorry ok?"

[PerfectImperfections]

"Okay,"I said quietly, sighing as I turned to her.

[monsters_inside_us]

I looked at him : forgiven?" I asked "I wont do it again...."

[PerfectImperfections]

"You... You had no right to just answer it,"I said quietly, shaking my head.

[monsters_inside_us]

I nodded " I know."i said still looking down I moved my hand down from his upper arm down to his hand gently

[PerfectImperfections]

I looked down at our hands and then up to her face, sighing. I gently took her hand, squeezing it,"I'm just going to go, okay?"

[monsters_inside_us]

I looked at him " do you have too?"i asked

[PerfectImperfections]

"Would you rather me stay?"I asked, raising an eyebrow.

[monsters_inside_us]

I nodded "yes please." I sao\id looking up at him

[PerfectImperfections]

"For a little while,"I said gently, sighing.

[monsters_inside_us]

I nodded and looked at him "hug?" I asked

[PerfectImperfections]

"Just one,"I said, wrapping my arms slowly around her.

[monsters_inside_us]

I hugged him bac kgently and kissed his cheek " im sorry. I really am parker...." I said I didn't want to let go of him so I just sat there hugging him " please don't leave... '

[PerfectImperfections]

"Why should I stay?"I asked, honestly curious.

[monsters_inside_us]

" because I love you." I whispered snuggling into his chest "and I don't want to be home alone tonight..." I whispered again

[PerfectImperfections]

I sighed deeply, rubbing her back slowly and kissing the top of her head,"Okay..."

[monsters_inside_us]

I looked up at him " so youll stay?" I asked I was actually quite surprised he had said yes. especially after what I had done. on the other hand though parker was nice maybe even a little to nice for his own good. I smiled at him " thanks." I whispered into his ear

[PerfectImperfections]

"Don't be thanking me yet,"I said quietly, my arms sliding away from her. I stepped back, running my fingers through my hair.

[monsters_inside_us]

" why not?" I asked softly I looked at him raising an eye brow.

[PerfectImperfections]

I shook my head,"Just don't,"I said. I was still upset. I was staying to keep her happy, but I wasn't happy about it.
