A/N: I just want to clear something up because it's a bit confusing. This whole chapter is supposed to be in 1st person. There is a part where shady Lane is talking and It sounds like it's in 3rd person, but it's like that for a reason that I cannot explain at the moment without ruining it.

Disclaimer: I don't own these characters.

"Hey, Parker," I said when I saw her at her locker the next day. She didn't look at me, not that there was any reason that she should have. She took out the English books she would need for her next class.

"Shouldn't you be with Ed right now, you know, since you like him so much?"

"Parker, that was a mistake. I thought that you were somebody else. I panicked and said a bunch of stuff that I didn't mean so that…" I stopped myself from saying 'I wouldn't get embarrassed any further.' Parker, however, knew what I meant to say and took it upon herself to say it out loud.

"Am I really so horrible, Lily, that you want hide me from the rest of the world?" She finally looked into my eyes, but it wasn't as great as I dreamt it would be. They were tired and hurt. They were puffy and red. Most of all, they didn't have the glow that they always seemed to have. Parker was devastated and it was all thanks to me and my big mouth. Me and my fear of being out.

"I love you, Parker," I told her from the bottom of my heart.

"I know you do, Lily. I guess just not enough," she said as she closed her locker and went to class, leaving me there alone, my mind soaking in all of her words.

I met up with Robbie, Travis and Ray at after dinner for our last important discussion on the events of tomorrow morning. For the past two days, we had been talking about the plan that I had come up with when I was in my bedroom. I wanted Parker back, so badly, I would have done anything. It hit me, the perfect way I could get her back. I was lucky. I had something that only 4 other Roscoe students had access to, and I was going to use it…

(The next day)

"Yo and hello. This is Kim Carlisle and It's time to smile a while…" Kim's voice poured into the halls of the school.

While most students cringed at the thought of having to go through another morning announcement from the girl, Parker stood at her looker again, going through the motions. Everyday had become a repeat of the last, she noticed as she took out her books to get ready for class.

"Don't forget that next week, Cougar Radio will be hosting our 2nd annual…" Kim's voice was interrupted by static, flowed by a familiar voice.

"This is Radio Free Roscoe; you're one-watt flamethrower of truth!" A few students began to clap, while others began to tune in, suddenly interested in what they were hearing.

"I'm Question Mark and I'm wondering: why are we so cruel? Why can we do things like make fun of others, or start rumors about the people we claim to be friends with? A lot of you may have noticed a certain poster on the walls of the school. It was a terrible thing to do and the person who did it was being a jerk. You can't catch anything by being friends with someone that has a different sexual preference, other than a bad case of ignorance, but I'm pretty sure that if you believed you could, you'd have to already be as ignorant as they come. Any thoughts on this, Shady?"

"Actually yeah. I have something to say. It's about a friend of mine that was involved in all of this," There was a slight pause. Her voice sounded shaky, but she went on with it. Parker looked at the speaker closest to her, feeling an unbelievably strong connection to the talking DJ. "Love has no gender. You can't help who you fall in love with, and that's what a friend of mine told me. Her name is Lily Randall. She fell in love with a girl. Parker…"

Everyone in the hall looked at her, but she didn't care. She was too focused on what Shady Lane was saying.

"I was talking to Lily the other day, actually. And she was telling me about how amazing Parker is. She told me how much she loves her laugh, and her adorable British accent. She told me about how beautiful she looks when she's in her room and the moonlight shines down on her…" Shady's voice began to break a little. That's when parker started to get the feeling that she and Lily were one and the same. "One other thing that Lily told me was how one day, when she was feeling depressed and her best friend came up to her and cheered her up. How she said that one day, she'd meet someone who was going to blow her way. We'll guess what, Parker…"

"You blew me away," I said as I wrapped my arms around the girl from behind.

"Lily?" Parker asked me. "But I though you were…"

"What, you thought that I was Shady Lane for A second? As If I own the easily purchased tape recorder needed to do such a thing." I smiled as I spun her around in kind of a dancing fashion. Plenty of students were watching us. Some of them were quite disgusted, but the more I looked at them, the less I cared about them. I focused only on the wonderful girl in my arms. I kissed her on the lips with more passion and wanting than ever.

"What about…" I interrupted her with one more kiss.

"Like a friend of mine once said, 'if you've got a girl, it's a real shame to keep her a secret'."

THE END

A/N: Ok, I know that that was pretty corny, but, it's an ending, at least. (Actually, If you read this chapter a few hours before, you'd notice that it was different. I dropped some stuff out of this becuuse it sounded really bad. I know people might be a bit bad that I left the story this way, but trust me,it's better that it was before without all that extra junk)I hope it was to your liking. Thanks for the reviews, everyone.
