Fallin' For Fitz

22

I could feel the tears in my eyes. Ellie wiped her thumb across my cheek as one fell.

"I'm sorry, I know we barely get moments alone and I'm wasting it on crying. I just needed to get it off my chest, you're the only person I could really tell." I rambled as I held her hand

"Come cuddle, for as long as we nap it's off your mind and you can breathe easy." She suggested

I agreed to it.

We spooned on the couch and it was a good distraction. I love hearing her heartbeat and comforting words. I didn't even remember drifting asleep.

Elizabeth Keller was undoubtedly one of the best things that ever happened to me. I don't think she realized how much I love her, but I couldn't imagine my life without her.

She made me feel okay and secure when it felt like my life was falling apart.

My heart truly belonged to her.

I could feel someone hitting on my arm, at first I thought it was just Ellie trying to move, then I heard a deep voice.

"Will! Parker!" My Dad spoke

I opened my eyes and looked at him.

His eyes got wide, "What the hell are you doing?"

"Just go, we'll talk about this later." I grumbled

He threw his hands up defensively, "It's almost five, she needs to go home. Plus your Mom will be home any minute."

"I'll take care of it, just go." I decided. I couldn't even talk or look at him the same.

He walked away without arguing with me.

"I'm up, I was just too scared to open my eyes in front of him." Ellie whispered

I kissed her cheek, "I'll walk you to your car, don't worry about him."

Ellie and I sat up on the couch. 

She cupped my face, "I wish I could protect you from everything bad in the world, Parker."

"You're amazing." I reminded her just in case she forgot

I walked Ellie outside to her car, she got in and rolled down the window.

"You don't think he'll tell Asher, right?" She made sure

I shook my head, "He's barely home. I'm about to go talk to him about us, I'll handle it. Text me when you get home."

"I will." She agreed before I gave her a kiss goodbye

I stood in the driveway until I couldn't see her anymore.

Time to face the William Fitzgerald.

Of course, when I walked into the kitchen, he was right there at the island looking at me as if I were stupid.

"So you're dating Elizabeth Keller, your best friend's little sister?" My Father questioned me

I confirmed it, "I mean yeah, there's no way to cover that up. No one knows especially Asher so please don't tell anyone.:

My Dad groaned, "Seriously Will? Dating his little sister behind his back? This whole time I thought you were sneaking whores into the house, not her. Because what you two have going on is an actual thing."

"Because me being in 'an actual thing' is so bad." I hissed

"You're so attached to her!" he pointed out

I frowned, "You're never here, Mom is never here, she's the only person who's really ever been there for me!"

"Me? Never there for you? Please, Parker, spare me." My Dad scolded me, "You don't do shit! I work to provide for you while you sit around drinking, throwing parties, and now sleeping with your best friend's sister!"

"The one thing, I ask of you while you live this easy breezy life is to take over when am I gone. Is that really that bad, Parker? You get everything handed to you on a silver platter and still find a way to complain!" my Dad continued on 

I leaned against the counter, "Do you even know what my favorite food is? Or what's my favorite subject in school?"

I stared at my Dad who was dead silent.

Go figure.

"As I said, you don't know me, Dad! Maybe you would if you were there for me in the way that you were there for Bailey!" I defended myself

My Dad rolled his eyes, "I'm not arguing with you, Parker. You're a grown ass man and its time that you've started acting like one!"

"Take your own advice." I rolled my eyes right back at him
