Chapter 19

Parker was clenching and unclenching his fists. Completely naked, he was pacing the floor of my bedroom while I remained sitting on the bed, in an oversized old T-shirt, waiting for him to calm down.

“Your brother is Austin Hebert’s best friend?” He was repeating himself now. I licked my lips and shut my eyes.

“If you’d just calm down and let me explain, Parker,” I said. I hadn’t seen him so worked up before. We had both watched that segment in silence. My face was glued to the screen, as was his. Neither of us could believe what had just happened. What Austin had just said on Live National Television. Then Parker had jumped out of bed and started pacing the floor. His face and neck had gone red; he looked like he was about to have a panic attack.

“I am calm!” He thundered, and I shrunk away from him. This was a new side to Parker that I couldn’t have guessed at. The polite, well-mannered man who I thought was the best boyfriend I could have had, had just turned into a raging bullish jealous man, filled with fury. He was gritting his teeth as he spoke.

“You’ve slept with him, haven’t you?” He asked, and my brows rose up in anger. How did it matter what I had done, who I had slept with before him? I had never asked him who all he’d slept with before me.

“How does that make a difference, Parker?” I asked, and he strode over to me quickly.

“How does that make a difference? You’ve fucked Austin Hebert! How am I supposed to compete with that?” He thundered, and I shrunk away from him more, pasting my back to the back of the bed.

“Nobody has to compete with anybody. I don’t care about him anymore.” I said.

“Anymore! So you did care about him. Were you in love with him?” Parker was still yelling, and I was beginning to grow a little frightened. I wasn’t quite sure what he was capable of anymore.

I looked back at him silently, and Parker gnawed his teeth and then whipped around, tugging his hair violently.

“Parker, please…just settle down. Can we talk like adults?” I asked in a soft voice. He whipped around to me again, this time his eyes were bloodshot and red. I wasn’t sure if he was going to break something or break into tears.

“What is there to talk about? You love Austin Hebert. He loves you. Or wants to fuck you again, or whatever. What more can we talk about?” He said, with his voice tearing from how loudly he was yelling.

I covered my eyes with my hands, pressed them and spoke in a muffled voice.

“I don’t love him, Parker. Not anymore. I love you. I love you, Parker, not what you’re acting like now, but who you usually are.” I said, whimpering a little. I could hear Parker’s ragged, heavy breathing; he was silent. He was processing the information he had just received, and then he suddenly calmed down.
