Parker returned home that night, distraught, and angry.  He was more angry then he had ever been in this, how dare she How DARE she put him through this, how dare she figure causing everyone else so much pain would take her own away.  He knew the way she had written the note that she had planned on not living, but why her heart?  Was it that broken that she couldn't see the way it would impact?  He didn't understand, he COULDN'T understand.  He slammed the door shut to the house and then walked around, pacing the floor as he tried to figure it out, to try and see into her world a little clearer. His thoughts brought his steps to her room.  I

"Has she gotten a job yet Parker, I know it must be hard to take care of her and yourself" "Mom...she barely gets out of her pajamas and when she does, I don't think she's really thinking about getting back out into the world.  I'm just letting her get used to her settings, get used to what's going on around her, I don't wanna freak her out, she seems to be really fragile.  She cried at a commercial yesterday."  Parker laid the phone between his shoulder and his ear as he paced his room, his sister was at the moment, hiding in her room like was normal, and he had to lie to their mother, saying that she was sleeping. "Maybe I should talk to

It had been a long journey.  And a slow one for that matter.  She had to take the bus from money that her brother sent her, something she had been so ashamed to admit she needed.  Her job at the small store around the corner from the new place didn't provide much and soon the bills, and everything else became too much and she found herself two weeks from eviction and nowhere to go.  Her books left first, all her law books, every page she had ever read went ahead of her and arrived safely and it was only then that she decided to go as well.  She road that bus for days, weeks it seemed to her.  The air was stale inside the cabin and the people

"You've been crying." "Why is it that everyone always thinks they know what's going on with me?" "Well I'm not everyone.  I'm me.  And I know.  You've been crying.  Why?" "Because I got caught up in a song is all.  That's all.  I didn't mean for it to be on my play list anymore and it was there and before I knew it I was listening to it over and over and over again and I started to cry." "Why do you put yourself into these situations?"  Came the soft sighed reply. "Because it's what I deserve.  I SHOULD be crying.  I SHOULD be the one alone. " "Stop it!  No you don't!" "Of course I do, it's pretty obvious that I do.  Cause everyone wal

"Stop looking at me." "I do believe I can look wherever I want too missy." "Not when I'm trying to eat, I hate when you watch when I eat." "But your nose scrunches up when you chew and it's cute." "Only you think that." "Only I notice it." She glanced up at him from her breakfast of eggs and ham and she shook her head.  He had her there, he would be the only too notice that. "That's because you look at me too much." "Well when we are eating where else should I be looking?" "Anywhere but me?" "Not good enough, I need specific places if you think I'm gonna find something else interesting." "Why don't you like turn the TV on or someth

When the phone rang again, once more blaring it's noise near her head she reached for it quickly and denied it the ability to bother her anymore by answering. "Hi." "Will you stop doing that.  You have no idea who it is on the phone when it rings." "This early in the morning it can only be you." "I really doubt that's true." "Well I can't stop you from thinking that, can only tell you what I know to be true on my end you know."  She could feel his annoyance, if there was one thing she was good for, it was annoying him. "So what did you want?" "I wanted to tell you I was leaving again." "Right.  Back to her?" "I didn't leave you for h

"You know, if I had known it was going to turn into an evening like this, I might have passed" "Yea, but you promised to come weeks ago, BEFORE he was home, and before he was invited on the fly" A small withering stare came from her as she tipped her head to the side a bit, fingers anxiously working at a small plate of cheese and crackers, studying each bit as she tried to lay them perfectly against one another. "I just wish I had been given a heads up. That's all I'm saying." Her companion sighed as well and his head dipped down to watch her deliberate motions with the crackers and cheese. "I know you would have, but I don't think they

The phone rang, loudly near her left ear and her whole body jerked as it realized it wasn't a dream.  Blurred vision brought her to look at it for another ring and she finally answered. "Hi" "You answered like you knew it was going to be me...you get a dandy new caller-id phone?" "Nope.  I just knew it was you." "That takes the mystery out of calling you know" "There's supposed to be a mystery in calling?  Don't you WANT the person you are talking to, to know who it is?" "Well yea..I guess so.  So I'm back you know." "Yea..I know." There was a long pause, as if there was supposed to be a bigger reaction to this, a great want
