become what he needs, what he craves. Not someone who is ripped apart from the inside out. No healthy relationship is in my future. No happily ever after for me; it doesn’t exist in my bloodline.
     
     
    Parker
     
    She’s complicating this. I can see it all over her beautiful face. She doesn’t hide her emotions well, so it’s easy to see past the want in her eyes. It’s been a wild ride with her. Over the past four months, this girl has taken me from Playboy to PlayStation. That’s all I do anymore besides ride or party without getting a girl. The last girl I was out with was Sam, and that blew up in my face.
    “ Yes !” The ecstasy playing across her face mixed with her milking my cock sends me into my own release. Wrapping my arms around her, I turn us over in the bed. My legs intertwine with hers, and she sighs heavily. “You should go.” You’ve got to be fucking kidding me .
    “I’m not leaving, Kelsey.” She snuggles further into her pillow and away from me with another sigh.
    “Is this all you wanted from me? A quick fuck?” Now, I’m irritated. The common ground I thought we’d found is crumbling beneath me. Kelsey sits up on her bed with the sheet clinging to her bare chest. “Are you blind? Of course, that’s what I want from Parker Taylor.” She laughs a hollow laugh.
    “You’re fuckin’ lyin’.” I’m fuckin’ livid right now and the bark of my voice shows it.
    “Hate to break it to you, but I’m fuckin’ serious. It’s time you go back to your room. This has to be over.” Has to be? Says who?
    “So you’re just going to act like I mean nothing to you?” Listen to me. Since when does a girl get me this fucked up in the head?
    “Parker, get out of my bed and go to yours.” She dodges the question.
    “Sweetne-”
    “Don’t.” Her palm inches from my face.
    “You can call me Kelsey and get the hell out of my room.” It’s as if I can see the walls slamming back into place and the ice seeping in to harden her heart from me. The warmth I saw in her eyes is now gone.
    She’s fuckin’ rippin’ my dick off and handin’ it to me askin’ me to take it to my ‘room.’
    Stepping out of the bed and walking right up to her, I fume, “Go ahead and shut down on me, sweetness . You’ll be back, as I’ve said before, but now it has a big FUCK YOU in front of it. I won’t be waiting for you to get your shit together.”
    With that statement, I make my way to the bathroom door; when I reach the handle, her voice is set in stone. “You shouldn’t. I’m not worth the wait.” Passing through the threshold, I return back to my room unwilling to deal with the aftermath of not having her in my life the way I need her.

    “You wanna to go grab dinner with Savannah and Hannah before the party tonight?” Brealynn eases into my room after knocking on my door. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t hoping the knock was Parker. There’s a slight possibility I was too harsh last night. Maybe overwhelmed by my feelings for him. Like, legit feelings for him . Not just hate. I know your face is shocked right now. Imagine how I feel .
    “Party?” Shit. I had totally forgot about the party.
    “Yeah, the boys are throwing a kegger. You knew this. What’s up with you today?” Hmm . What’s wrong with me? I pushed away the only boy who came close to me, that’s what. Ugh .
    “Just distracted.”
    “Does this have anything to do with Parker?” Did he tell Colt about last night? “Don’t look at me like that. I know you two have something going-”
    “No. We don’t.” I cut her off before she even gets started. My phone begins ringing, and I glance at it with hope. Pathetic . After putting up one finger and a glare to silence my best friend, my finger swipes answer on the screen.
    “Hey, Mom.” Brealynn’s eyes almost pop out of the socket at my greeting. As they should, I hardly ever hear from my mom. Considering it’s still another month until my birthday,
