Juliana
I woke up in my bed. Parker must of put me here. I don't even remember. I saw a note on my nightstand and unfolded it.
Juliana
I'm with Kyle and my crew. I put you in your room just in case someone like my mom came over. I'll be home around five we're going to my mom's to have dinner. You can meet my grandpa and my dad. You'll probably wake up when I get there. You have heavy pain medication. I'll see you soon.
Parker
Dinner at his mom's house? She's going to bash me. I look at my clock and it was four thirty. That medication is heavy. My body was sore as I moved. I sat up and grabbed my crutches. I made it downstairs carefully. I found pancakes in the fridge with another note.
Pancakes for you! I made them! Hope you like them! They're chocolate chip!
Parker
I smiled and took the pancakes out and put them in the microwave. Dozer barks happily on his way in through the doggy door.
"Hi!" I giggled as he licked my hand.
He sniffed my cast and walked away. My pancakes finished. I took them to the table. I moved back to the kitchen and grabbed the syrup and a fork. I grabbed a soda and went to my chair. I started eating and I heard the roar of Parker's truck. I smiled. He came inside. He took off his jacket and pulled off his boots then walked towards me. He kissed my head.
"I see you found the pancakes." chuckled Parker and he ate the piece of pancake off my fork.
I could feel my face heat up. Why?
"I need a shower." said Parker after he swallowed. "So, do you. Do you need any help?"
"I think I got it."
He nodded and went upstairs as he slipped off his shirt. Oh. My. Fucking. God. I started choking on a piece of pancake. Parker turned around alarmed.
"Are you okay?" asked Parker as I cleared my throat.
"Yeah."
He nodded and I took a sip of my soda. Holy shit those back muscles. Firm. Strong. I squirmed. I finished my food and put the plate in the sink. I grabbed the can and put it in the recycling bin. I heard Parker walking upstairs. I walked up carefully and he smiled at me. I gasped quietly as I saw his perfectly toned torso. I gulped.
"Are you okay?" asked Parker.
"Yeah. I'm just going to have a shower now."
He nodded and walked into his room. He took his towel off before he closed the door. Is he doing this on purpose? I make my way to my room and grabbed the bag to cover my cast. I put it on tightly. I pulled off my clothes and grabbed a towel. I got into the shower. I finished and got out slowly. I held the counter as I dried my hair. I wrapped the towel around me and pulled the bag off my leg. I grabbed my crutches and went to my room. I got dressed and there was a soft knock on the door.
"Come in." I smiled.
Parker opened the door. I saw that his flannel was still unbuttoned. I gulped and turned away.
"You ready?" asked Parker.
"Yeah...but it doesn't looked like you are."
"Maybe because dinner isn't until eight and its six."
"I was just waiting for you."
I nodded and pulled on my hoodie. I grabbed my crutches. Parker buttoned up his flannel.

"Hi, dad!" smiled Parker.
"Hey!" He laughed.
"Hi, Parker!" smiled his grandpa.
"Hey!" smiled Parker.
"Is this Juliana?" gasped his dad.
"Yeah!" I giggled.
"You're so beautiful!" He smiled.
"Thank you!" I smiled and he hugged me.
"You're so gorgeous! Parker take care of her!" said his grandpa.
"I will." promised Parker.
"Let me help you to the table." said his dad.
I nodded and he guided me to the dining room table. He helped me sit down.
"I'll take these and put them over here." said his grandpa as he grabbed my crutches.
"Thank you." I smiled as Parker sat next to me.
His mom strolled in giving me look of disgust. She put the salad bowl down, roughly. I looked away. Her glare was worse than Tony's.
"Calm down. Let's eat." said his dad.
We started eating and carrying on conversations.
"I think we need to postpone the wedding." said Parker's mom, causing silence to fall over the table.
"Why?" asked Parker's dad
"Her leg. She's already ruining the wedding. The least she can do is be decent. If she even knows what decent means." said his mom.
My tears started to flow down my face. Parker's grandpa dropped his glass and it shattered on the floor. Parker's dad stared at his wife, shocked.
"Mom!" shouted Parker, breaking the silence.
"What? She came from a poor family and needs to learn how to function like us." She said.
"It doesn't matter where Juliana came from." snarled Parker
"Yes, it does! I would never agreed to have her marry you if I knew how ugly and poor she is." She said and I choked on a sob.
"That's enough! I can't believe you're doing this to her!" said his dad as he rubbed my back.
"It's true." She said.
Parker stood up and slammed his fists against the table, making her jump.
"You're a shallow bitch, mom. Juliana is perfect! I love her. I never thought I would. Ever since she got here bad shit happened to her! You! Tony! This marriage! You need to stop being a bitch!" screamed Parker.
"Well, Tony didn't do his job right." She mumbled, putting her wine glass to her lips.
I gasped and Parker slapped the glass out her hand. He got wine all over her. She looked up at Parker.
"You were behind all that?!" shouted Parker.
"Yeah, I was trying to get rid of her!" She said.
"That's it!" shouted his dad. "I can't believe you do this. It's not like you."
"No, what's so wrong about Juliana?" asked his grandpa.
"Everything! She has split ends, she's ugly, chubby, poor..." She glanced at me. "Shall I keep going?"
"Go fuck yourself." I snapped.
She gasped and jumped over the table. She grabbed two handfuls of my hair. I screamed. She released some of my hair as Parker's dad grabbed her. She slapped three times before she was pulled away. I screamed and held my cheek. It was burning. Parker picked me up.
"Get her crutches, please, grandpa!" said Parker.
I looked up at him and saw his eyes were red and puffy. Parker's mom and dad were arguing. Parker placed me in the truck.
"I'm never going to have you around her anymore." snarled Parker as he buckled me in. "Are you okay?"
"I think so." I mumbled
He removed my hand and winced. I saw blood on my hand. Parker took a little towel out of the glove compartment. He put it on my cheek.
"Don't leave me!" shouted Parker's mom.
She was chasing Parker's dad out the house. He had some bags. He threw them into the back of his truck.
"Get yourself straight and I'll come back!" shouted Parker's dad.
She shrieked and ran towards Parker's truck. She shoved Parker.
"Hey!" yelled Parker.
"You're tearing my family up! You will not marry Parker! I'll make sure you don't!" She said as he pointed her finger in my face.
"I'll marry her if I want. You have no say!" yelled Parker.
He removed his mother from me and closed my door. I locked my door. He ran to his side. He sped off.
