You Would Have Never Thought part 7

By: Spectacular05 ***Note the town called Lillyford, CA is not real; it does not exist 2 hours away from San Diego.

The little boy chirped in as Parker and Jarod tore their gazes away from each other. "Hi, I'm JK, or Jackson Kyle Thomas Charles Parker1." Jarod smiled the best smile he could feeling the way he did he did not want to smile he wanted to crawl back in the nice big comfortable bed and forget about everything but he did not he sat at the table. Parker smiled at JK, "baby why don't you go and watch TV for a while?" JK looked disappointed, "Oh, Peaches," he got up and took his plate to the kitchen. "Jarod, how did you find us?" Parker knotted her fingers with worry. "Well I did not do it on purpose I went out for a drive and smashed into the tree. I didn't know where you were or that you had JK with you." Parker breathed a sigh of relief somewhere deep inside she knew she could still trust him, but she didn't want to be close to him. Every time he moved closer, she moved farther away. "Parker what's wrong?" "Jarod you should know what the hell is wrong you vanish for 6 months and then you skip back into my life pretending that nothing is wrong. Well you had better think again! Shouldn't you call the blonde woman?" Jarod groaned at the slight mention of Ashleigh, "Uh no I don't need to call her, we broke up last night before the accident, that's why I was driving." Parker looked stunned, "Well obviously you don't have any where to stay we have plenty of room for you till your head feels better then you can go whenever you please." With that, Parker was out the door. Jarod smirked strange things were happening that were unexplainable.

2weeks later

JK loved Jarod he followed him around, and always wanted both Peaches and Jarod to put him to bed. But other then putting him to bed they didn't speak to each other unless they had to, this was torture for Jarod who didn't really understand what was wrong but Parker stood her ground. It was way after they had put JK to bed while Parker lay in bed think that she could never be close to Jarod she would not let herself. She got up and started looking out the window when she seen smoke coming from Gamma Jane's house Parker got up and threw on jeans, a light turtle neck sweater, and tennis shoes, she ran down the stairs and smacked into Jarod.

--CRASH-

They slammed into the floor, "Jarod get off." Parker screamed in panic. "Parker calm down, what's wrong?" She took deep breaths, "I think Gammas house is on fire, there was smoke coming from that direction." Jarod had come to know Gamma well he ran in his room, threw on clothes, and was yelling for Parker to call the fire department. Parker ran and called it would be 15 minutes before they got there. She left the phone beside JK and they ran to the Tahoe. "Let me drive Parker, I was a race car driver once." Parker rolled her eyes then tossed him the keys, "If you kill me Wonder Boy.." Jarod smirked as he squealed the tires heading towards Gammas. They made it there in record time 7 mins. Jarod jumped out before Parker could get her seatbelt off. Herbert Gammas son was holding a gas can standing in the front yard laughing, Jarod's first reaction was to hit him so he did and ran towards the house. "Gamma, Gamma" Jarod yelled through the smoke. "Here I am dear get my cat, Charm." Jarod ran over and scooped the woman up and ran outside, he placed the woman in Parkers care and then went to finish Herbert off. Parker took Gamma inside the Tahoe and made sure she was ok, she looked up to see a fight in the middle of the front yard and Jarod was winning. Parker smiled at his ability to be whatever he wanted to, and cheered him on.

3 hours later Parker hung up her cell after calling and updating JK, she looked at Jarod with his black eye and busted lip she actually felt sorry for him. He fought a battle and won, he obviously cared for Gamma who adored him as if he were her own. The police hauled Herbert away and the firefighters sprayed the last flame down. Gamma started crying, "I have nothing but my cat nothing it's all gone." Jarod wrapped a protective arm around her and whispered sweet kind words to the woman. "You have us, and that's what matters we need you, we would love to have you live with us." The old woman stopped crying and looked at Parker, and she just shook her head yes, they all piled into the Tahoe and headed home.

After getting the lady settled in another guest room, Jarod and Parker sat in the kitchen with a steak on Jarod's eye and ice on his busted lip. "Parker I hope it's ok that I invited Gamma to stay, we are all she has and I don't think she could handle living by her self at her age." "I should have asked her as soon as they hauled Herbert away but I didn't think about it I was so worried." Jarod put the steak down and hugged Parker and she let him.

Early the next morning Jarod was awakened by his cell phone, "He-ll-o," he barley muttered into the phone. "This is Syd, Jarod I have some news that will blow you away." Jarod's heart stopped "It in your email." With that, the Doctor hung up. Jarod was out of the bed so fast he got tangled in the sheets and fell in the floor. "Damn it." He raced up the stairs in his boxers to Parkers room he did not knock and barged in, "Jarod what the hell are you doing, love the boxers." Jarod looked down to his black silk boxers with red hearts all over them. He cleared his throat, "Where Is your internet connection?" Parker glared at him, "You run in here at 5:30 a.m. to see where I hook up the internet?" She pulled the covers over her head. "Its Syd he called and sounded worried he sent a email and that's all he would say." With that, Parker was up grabbing her robe and starting her computer in her room.

15 minutes later Jarod had read the email 15 times and was shocked; he had not told Parker she had gone downstairs to start breakfast. This couldn't be true what was he going to do? Feedback Please I could use some to keep going
