I am so warm. So warm. My skin is ablaze. I quickly opened my eyes to be greeted with a sleeping Parker. My eyes slowly travel down to his arms. His arms that were around me. Then I gently pulled my arm out of his embrace and lifted the sheets slightly to look under it. His legs. His legs that were entangled with mine.
Am I missing something? I thought I clearly told him to stay on his side last night. I faced Parker's sleeping face again and raise my hand. I guided my hand slowly to his stomach, towards his side. Then with one move I jabbed his side as hard as I could making him immediately wake up and roll off the bed.
"AH! WHAT THE HELL?!" he yelled as his face met the ground
"What happened?" I asked innocently while throwing the covers off me and getting out of bed.
"Are you blind?" Parker asked and my innocent facade faded when I glared at him
"No Im actually not" I said and he rolled his eyes while getting up from the ground
"Im gonna go shower" I announced and quickly grabbed a towel and some clothes.
"Can I join?" Parker suggested and I ran to the bathroom and shut the door
"Does that answer your question?" I called
"No, it just makes me want you more" He answered and I grunted in annoyance
"Shut up!" I yelled and quickly stripped my clothes before stepping into the shower
"A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you will lose your heartache
Whatever you wish for you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believin
the dream that you wish will come true" I sang as I scrubbed my body rid of filth. After that, I stepped out of the shower and quickly dried myself. Then I pulled on a long sleeve denim shirt with blue skinny jeans. I opened the door and walked out seeing Parker sitting the crisscross applesauce way on the floor.
"Uh, what are you doing?" I laughed
"Ya know, you don't sound that bad" he said starting to stand up
"Oh. You heard that" I mumbled feeling kinda embarrassed as I felt my cheeks heat up
"Yes. Yes, I did" he smiled
"Never talk about this again" I commanded while pursing my lips
"Fine with me" he shrugged gracing a smirk on his face
"Good" I declared and crossed my arms
"Good" he mocked and folded his arms across his chest too causing me to roll my eyes and unfold my arms
"So are you meeting your parents today?" Parker questioned curiously
"I don't know, do I have a choice?" I grumbled
"You're right you don't have a choice" he chuckled and I glared coldly at him
"Well then there's your answer" I replied
"Fine" he snapped and looked away dramatically
"Fine" I mocked just like he had done to me before and when I saw the icy glare on his face I knew my job was done.
"Well get showered and changed i'll meet you downstairs I guess" I shrugged whilst grabbing my purse .
"Okay" Parker replied with a wave of his hand as he headed into the bathroom.
I quickly walked out of the room and closed the door. Hmmm, maybe Meg and Madds were awake. I walked across the hall to their room. Raising my hand I knocked on their door. Madds opened the door wearing black leggings and a longsleeved sweater.
"Oh! Hey Avery" she smiled warmly
"Hey. Are you guys going downstairs now?" I asked
"Yeah, sure" she said after thinking for a couple of seconds
"Okay let's go together then" I suggested
"Alright let me just call Meg....MEG!" she yelled and I had to cover my ears from how loud she had yelled. I think I bursted an eardrum, ow.
"What?!" I heard Meg call back from somewhere inside their room
"Avery is here, let's go downstairs together!" Madds continued their shouting conversation
"Oh okay" Meg replied
A few seconds later Meg appeared at the door wearing black jeans and a short sleeve shirt that said 'leave me alone'.
"Nice shirt" Madds observed
"I know. Thanks." Meg smiled
"Maybe if Ryan can read, he'll get the hint" I smirked
"Good point!" Madds exclaimed and we laughed
"Alright let's go" Meg said chuckling and we walked down the hallway making our way downstairs.
"Hey babe!" was the first thing someone said to us when we reached the kitchen. You wanna know who said it? Ryan! Right now he was grinning at the three of us and it was starting to get creepy. Meg looked behind her and then with raised eyebrows she gestured to us.
"Uh, who are you talking to? Us?" she said and Ryan rolled his eyes
"No silly! Im talking to you, babe!" he laughed and turned back around continuing whatever he was doing before we came down. Meg, Madds and I exchanged looks. I leaned over and whispered
"I think he finally lost it"
"Yeah, and its getting kinda creepy" Madds said glancing at Ryan who was now stirring something while humming the song Let it Go.
"HEY MAN!" someone yelled causing all of us to look over . It was Hunter.
"Finally! I didn't know how much longer I could've lasted" Ryan sighed in relief and pushed the bowl of what he was stirring away from him. Ok...now Im confused.
"I'm confused" Meg whispered voicing out my thoughts
"I know right!" Madds agreed. Ryan walked over to Hunter and did one of those bro hug things. Then surprisingly, Hunter took out a 20 dollar bill and handed it to Ryan .
"Sweet! Thanks man!" Ryan said and looked over at us finally noticing our puzzled faces.
"Oh. You actually thought I was being peculiarly nice? Hunter just bet me a 20 that I had to be nice to you in the morning until he came down. And guess what? I won! See ya later, fuckers!" Ryan explained and headed towards the front door. A few seconds later we heard the door shut.
"Ok...then" Hunter chuckled nervously
"Dude! How can you do that?! Making deals with the devil!" Meg yelled
"Hey guys....whats going on here?" a confused Scarlett asked as she entered the room.
"Nothing" Hunter mumbled just as Meg said
"Ask your boyfriend/mate"
Meg turned to Hunter with a questioning look.
"Hunter?" she looked at him expectantly
"W-well you see I kind of-" Hunter started nervously
"NOW THE PARTY IS STARTED" Nathan suddenly yelled entering the room with an annoyed Jenna tagging along
"Just shut up, you sound stupid" Jenna whispered hitting Nate on his arm
"Owie" Nate pouted rubbing his arm
"Hey, what did I miss?" Parker said now joining the party. He walked over to me grinning and planted a peck on my cheek.
"AW! Did Avery finally stop denying you?!" Scar cooed forgetting about her interrogation with Hunter.
"Ew. No. I did not. He just being annoying" I glared at Parker while resisting the urge to touch my sizzling cheek.
"Please. You love it" Parker scoffed
"Whatever, I'm leaving. This sucks" I yelled walking away from this newly formed crowd
"Wait!" I heard someone call but I was too lazy to go back and pay attention
"I'm sorry" I heard Parker say and I spun around
"For what?" I smiled. Only a little.
"For being an ass. I'm also sorry for being too touchy lately. It's just that my wolf has been getting a little restless lately and he just really wants to mark you and make you mine" he explained sincerely and I stumbled back a little.
"Mark me!" I yelled incredulously
"Oh no. Oh dear. I'm not ready for that. I can't do that....maybe in 10 years! Oh god" I mumbled to myself but of course Parker heard, thanks to werewolf hearing.
"It's ok. I'll wait for as long as you need me to" Parker smiled softly
"Thanks but I-uh I n-need some air" I said shakily and started my way to the door.
Placing my hand on the cool doorknob ready to pull, when suddenly it was pushed open from the other side. Hard. The door made harsh contact with my face making me stumble back and fall to the hard wooden floor. Immediate blackness surrounded me. The last thing I heard was someone saying my name.

"Ouch!" I grimaced rubbing the back of my head and my nose
"Hey, are you alright?" I looked over to see Parker sitting on the couch that was in our bedroom. Oh, I was on the bed.
"Yeah I'm ok. What happened?" I groaned laying back down
"Well after becoming overwhelmed of everything I said-" he started but paused to give me a pointed look to which I avoided.
"-you said you needed air and you were about to open the door but someone on the other side did instead and it kinda hit your face causing you to fall and then hit you head. After that you blacked out I guess." Parker explained
"Ugh, who opened the door?!" I yelled
"Um. That would be us" a deep male voice interrupted. I whipped my head over to the door and saw a man maybe in his 30s....and a woman that looked around the same age as him. They were pretty young looking though.
"Hello" the woman said timidly and I looked over to Parker confused as if asking him 'who are they?' with my expression but he just grinned and ushered me to look back their way.
"Um. Hi" I said quietly
"I'm Stacy Holloway and this is my mate and husband Brendan Holloway" the lady introduced with a smile
"Uh, it nice to meet you. I'm Avery Maxwell" I smiled
"I know." She grinned. There is something oddly familiar about this pair.
"Avery. Your our daughter" the man spoke up
Oh dear.
