1 They don't have to see you cry

1.1 Chapter 2

1.1.1 Somewhere – later

Oh my whole body is hurting! Where am I now? .... I feel cold

The floor under me was cold and wet, more than wet it was soaked. It seems like it had rained before.

Holy shit I am somewhere outside ... left alone?

"Be a Parker and open your eyes!" I said loud and opened my eyes as slowly as possible. By voice was shivering.

"Shit" – I screamed as loud as I could. "Where am I?"

It was dark around me, some trees near. The moon was shining. My eyes needed a view moments to focus the area around me. Where am I? I was thinking.

My fingers started to run along the wet earth. Nothing. With one hand I tasted my cell phone. My body hurt such a lot. I was not able to sit up. I stared at the sky, the stars where brightly shining. It was such a mess that the floor was so wet. I felt uncomfortable. What should I do?

Please let me alone here! It's the first time in life I beg to be alone. Please!

I got the phone in my right hand. I hadn't noticed before that my fingers were full of dried blood. "Shit!" was the only thing I was able to think of.

I tried to focus the area, if something looks familiar to me. No. It wasn't McAllester or something like that. I slowly turned on my belly. Shit that hurts I saw a street sign telling me ~ Have a good Times in Maryland !~

Shit where am I? Maryland can't be true!

"Holy shit, whom should I call now?" I lied back on the socked ground, thinking whom I can trust. "Whom can I really trust?"

But before I could decide whom I will phone, the cell phone was ringing.

Who cares for me ? I was thinking. It was something after midnight when I look around and see how dark it was.

I put slowly the green button. In my familiar icy voice I tried to say "What?" but I think it hadn't the same effect.

"Is it you Parker? I tried it the last two days at your home phone. Sydney worries about you!"

Jarod, whom else is caring about be like he does?

"Is that one of your silly games lab-rat?" I said. What should I say?

"What are you speaking about Parker?" His voice had changed.

I could not say a word for a couple of minutes. Can I trust him? Isn't he the only friend I ever had, expect my beloved Thommy?

"Jarod?" I asked and tried to comfort my arm.

"What's up Parker? " I heard the sorrow in his voice.

"I need your help, Jarod I am not joking or something like that! I really need ..." My voice broke down.

When have I said that the last time to him? When mum died ...

"Okay Parker. Just tell me what to do?"

Did he heard me sobbing? Hope not. I can't control my tears anymore. What should I do? He was the only one I really can trust, who never wanted to hurt me!

"Jarod you are the only one I can trust at the moment ... "

"I never wanted that you are hurt Parker!"

"To late Jarod ... " – I was whimpering.

"Where are you? I'll be there in a fiffy!"

"It's not so easy Jarod. I can only see a sign which says 'Have a nice time in Maryland'" – I tried to control my voice. "It's so dark Jarod and cold. I am tired."

"Okay Parker. Describe me what you can see around you, it might help me!"

I looked around as good as possible.

"There are a lot of trees. It's an alley I think. It's really dark and the floor is soaked from the rain. I think next to me is a field. I do not know what's growing there."

"Okay .... keep on."

"Well ... Jarod it's pretty calm here, I do not hear any noises. No houses. No electricity."

"Okay ...."

He can't know from this description where I am ... but he's Jarod! Tears were running down my face slowly. It was really cold here. I tried to put my arm around my chest. But it was still cold.

That conversation kept on for around an hour but I am not sure how long it was. My watch was missing.

"Parker I know where you are. I am there in about 5 minutes." He took a deep breath I could hear that. "Stay calm Parker. I am there soon."

"Fine ... I count on you!" I really do that Jarod. You are the only one now.

The line went dead. My bat was out now. I knew that it would come this way. I tried to sit up but I can't. I heard a car stopping, near me.

I heard a voice shouting my name. Jarod you are here! I was thinking.

"Jarod I am here!" I shouted as loud as possible.

I saw his shocked face when he saw me laying there as I did.

"Holy shit Parker! I'll be back in a second. I am only taking a sheet out of the car."

Now I noticed that I was naked, bloody and naked. It was not enough that they raped me, no they also ....

He doesn't care a lot about my naked body. I have to look awful!

He came back with a quilt, an old one like my mum had. He knelt down beside me. He touched my face slowly.

"Shit Parker!" I tried to stand up but it didn't work. He put the quilt around me as good as possible and carried me to the car. He laid me in the back of it, putting his jacked under my neck, like a pillow. He slowly but some hair out of my face.

"How do you feel Parker?" he said softly, like a whisper.

"How should I feel Jarod? How should I?" I started crying again. I don't want that he sees me like that.

"Go Jarod let's go away!"



After a couple of hours, I was still crying, whimpering, like before.

Jarod stopped the car. He went out of the car, went back to me, helped me to sit up and I was now able to let it go. I put my head on his shoulder and stared to let everything go out, crying ....

"You should see a doctor Parker!"

"No ... let's go as far away as possible first!"

He slowly touched my lips with his fingers. "Do you want to sit next to me?"

I only nodded. He climbed out the car and carried me to the front seat. Than he pulled out a T-shirt out of his bag and helped me in.

Without a lot of words we went on. I think we were on the road for nearly 3 hours, maybe longer. I lost the feeling for time. I could still not believe that all that happened to me and that the Ice Queen needed the help of the Labrat.

He suddenly stopped the car in front of a motel.

"We have to make a break Parker. I need to get some rest. And we need to clean your wounds."

"Okay that's enough!" I tried to smile at him. "Just go and get us a key!"

He looked amused at me "Hurry up Jarod!"



Within some minutes he was back with the key in his hand and a small package in the other one. The lab-rat, my dear old friend Jarod, helped me out of the car and brought me into this small room. It didn't soon too clean but who cares at the moment?

He laid me on the bed and went to the bathroom next to the bed. I noticed that there was no couch in the room or chair. It was really such a naughty little motel, normally only people in love came to.

"Parker ... next to you in the paper bag is a bottle of Vodka. Would you try to drink a bit of it. I think cleaning your wounds will hurt!"

I grabbed the bag and put it out. I can't wait to feel the liquid running down to my stomach. That was against all rules to end up with that shit ulcer!

"I know Parker that you shouldn't drink it because of your ulcer but it's the only thing I could get!"

Shit he knows me quite well!
