Well, it's like 1 in the morning right now, I'm hungry, and I can't sleep so what better to do than write? I just finished printing out all of my completed fan fictions from Cole's Revenge to AoW 1, 2, and 3, as well as Patience. AoW seems like forever ago, doesn't it? I put them all in a binder so that I'll have them should I ever need them. It was my mom's idea and I needed something to do while I thought about the next chapter of Parker, which is right here as soon as I stop rambling.

s.halliwell- Well I realized that Piper and Paige had never really had an affectionate moment in my stories, and I needed a reason for Parker to hate Paige, so I just used that one. Believe me, I am not a fan of bitchy Piper. I think the writers of Charmed should have made them closer than they are, but whatever. Yeah, I've never been very good at math. You put more than three operations in there and I'm pretty much lost.

Prince Halliwell- I was wondering where you went! That's okay, I don't get a chance to check my mail very often when I'm at my moms so sometimes I get a little behind on my reading. Well, he doesn't have empathy really, so much as the ability to know how his charges are feeling and because he's an Archer, it's amplified. We might see a little of the same things with Percy. Yeah, I hate how Piper and Paige aren't close and I wanted to show that in this, but I also wanted to fix it because I think that the writers of Charmed didn't do a very good job with their relationship.

The-Cheese-Fairy- Wow, you're making me blush! Haha! Thanks so much, but believe me if you read your own fic your mind will change about that. I wish Brad Kern would read this too because then he might have the sense to sort out the relationship between Piper and Paige! How can you have writer's block? You are not allowed to have writer's block! You are my weekly source of entertainment and now that's gone to hell! As long as you make Mark a Nauctater White Lighter though I think I can make an exception for your lack of update. I want you to know that I am still very opposed to Paige having a boy, so you're going to have to make him extra cute (possibly even Parker like) to gain my liking to him. But it's your story and I trust that you'll come up with an excellent update like you always do, so I'll stop hounding you!


Trust is a very important thing. It's the key to human interaction. If someone doesn't trust you, the most you'll ever get out of them is 'hi' and 'bye'. Trust is everything. You need to trust your parents; more importantly they need to trust you otherwise you won't be doing jack squat on Saturday nights. Your girlfriend needs to trust you so that you're not getting questioned about cheating on her every single day. Your friends need to trust you so that they can confide in you. Yeah, trust is pretty pertinent to everyday life. I bet you can already tell where I'm going with this.

It was the very first week of summer vacation. School had finally let out and June was bringing in the hottest weather in the history of San Francisco. I was enjoying my freedom with my cousins and Kelsey, going shopping, seeing movies, hanging out. It was all good. I was even enjoying my weekly lessons with Aunt Paige now that my mom had nothing against her. In fact, they had become very close in the past few weeks. They were practically inseparable. Go figure, huh?

The only downside to the summer was the heat. I was so hot that it was making me crazy, not to mention the fact that my mom had put me to work at P4 for the summer. She had insisted that I needed a job and coincidentally enough, she needed extra help at the club. So, being the wonderful son that I am, I agreed to go help her. Little did I know that I was going to be in the back organizing thing and putting glasses out as well as helping to set up the stage each night, all of which happened to be very strenuous and sweaty work. I had almost passed out once from the heat. It was crazy.

I seemed to be the only one affected by it as well. All of my cousins said that while it was hot, it was enjoyable and they didn't know what the hell was wrong with me. Preston's suggestion was that I was a pansy and I needed to grow some balls. He was so tactful sometimes it was shocking.

"Parker, are you going to get those glasses out here sometime today?" my mom yelled from the bar. I sighed and wiped the sweat off of my head, grabbing the glasses and taking them out for her.

"My god it's hot in here. Are you sure you don't have the heat on or something?" I checked.

"No honey, I have the air conditioner on. Are you sure you're feeling well? You've been going through a hot spell all week," Mom said. I nodded.

"I feel fine I'm just crazy hot and I don't know why," I said.

"Well maybe you should go home and get some rest," Mom suggested.

"Are you sure you don't need any help?" I asked.

"I'll be fine. I'm sure I can rope one of your cousins in or one of my sisters when they stop by, because they always do," my mom said with a grin. I nodded again and orbed out. I instantly made my way to the shower, turning it on full blast to cold. I hopped in and sighed as the freezing water hit my back, not even fazing me. After I was done, I put on a pair of boxers and fell onto the bed, making sure that the air conditioner was on full blast.

I found myself in a darkened room on a bed with red satin sheets. I looked up to see an incredibly beautiful woman. As she straddled me I had guilty thoughts of Kelsey, but they were quickly washed away with a smoldering kiss.

"Tell me you want me," the woman instructed. I felt very compelled to give her exactly what she wanted.

"I want you," I said, almost robotically.

"Tell me you need me," she said.

"I need you." She pulled me into another kiss, but I suddenly found it hard to breathe as her tongue extended into something long and gross and it snaked its way down my throat, sucking the life from me.

I gasped as I woke up and sat straight up in bed. I was completely drenched in sweat. That dream had seemed so real, and so familiar. I had it before. I had been having for the past four days. I didn't know where it was coming from or who that woman was, but she seemed to have some kind of control over me. She had some weird way to kill me, too. I didn't like it at all.

I looked at my cell phone to see that I had one voice message from Kelsey. I sighed. It seemed like every time I had been around her since school let out and this heat wave started, I had been so physically attracted to her that she had to literally push me off of her. I couldn't understand what it was, but I was starting think that it was somehow connected with these dreams I was having. This had to be something demonic.

"Hey baby, it's Kelsey. Call me when you get the chance. I figured we could hang out or something. Love ya, bye," Kelsey's voice came through as I listened to the message. I couldn't believe that she still wanted to hang out with me at the risk that something could happen again.

I got up and went to the attic. Maybe the Book of Shadows had some answers. As I flipped through the pages, I became more and more convinced that it wasn't a demon, that there was just something wrong with me. Finally, I found what I was looking for.

"The Succubus: A demon that poses as a woman and leads men to her lair to seduce them just before she sucks the testosterone out of them," I read aloud. "Sounds charming."

It had to be it though. That's how it was in my dreams. She somehow hypnotized me into thinking I loved her and then almost seduced me before sucking the life from me. This was just what I needed. I didn't know why I was having these dreams though. Maybe I was her next target. Why would she target a 16 year old boy though when there were plenty of older, horny men out there that would be glad to be her victims?

Then I remembered Aunt Phoebe telling us one time about their experiences with the Succubus. She had been going through hot flashes and having dreams about killing men, so Aunt Prue used a spell to turn herself into a man and find the Succubus. At the time I was too busy being amused at the fact that Aunt Prue had been a man to really take in anything about the Succubus, but I decided to call Aunt Phoebe and see what she knew.

"Hello," she answered.

"Hey Aunt Phoebe, it's Parker," I said.

"Hey Parker! What do you need?" Phoebe asked.

"Well, I wanted to ask you a question," I said.

"Well that's good, considering I'm a professional question answerer," Phoebe said. I chuckled, but quickly became serious again.

"Do you remember the Succubus?" I asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"Because I've been having crazy hot flashes lately, along with a recurring dream that this woman is trying to seduce me before she sucks the life out of me," I said.

"Uh oh, that sounds like the Succubus. She targets older men though, not teenage boys," Phoebe said.

"I know, that's what I don't get. Maybe I'm supposed to stop her though," I mused.

"Maybe, but you're not doing it alone. It's good that you called. We'll talk about it tonight. Another Succubus is not what we need right now," Phoebe said.

"Okay, bye," I said.

"Bye," Phoebe said, hanging up. I then decided to call Kelsey and tell her that I really wasn't up to 'hanging out' today. I didn't want to chance me being all over her again until we could sort out this whole Succubus thing.

"Parker, honey, I'm home," my mom announced, coming through the door.

"Hey mom," I greeted her.

"Hi sweetie, are you feeling better?" Mom asked. I nodded.

"Yeah, Phoebe and I think that there's a Succubus in town and somehow I'm connected to it like she was that one time," I said.

"Oh no!" Mom said, looking worried.

"It's cool, Mom. I'll be alright. You guys have dealt with it before," I said.

"No, your dad and I are going to have to cancel our vacation," Mom said.

"Oh crap, I completely forgot," I said. She and Dad were going to leave for Europe the next day and weren't coming back for a week. I wasn't going to let them cancel this. "You guys still have to go," I urged.

"No, we can't leave until this is fixed," Mom said, walking into the kitchen and setting stuff down. I followed her in there and watched her rush around to get dinner ready. She was such a busy body.

"Mom, honestly, it'll be fine. You and Dad need to go and have a nice vacation, away from all the demons and crap. I'll be fine. If I have any problems, I've got my cousins and my aunts and uncles," I assured her.

"But-" she started.

"Ah, no! Do you trust me?" I asked. She nodded slowly. "And do you trust your sisters?" I asked. She nodded again. "Then trust me when I say that we will be fine."

"You're right. I shouldn't worry. You're right," she said, as if trying very hard to convince herself. I nodded.

"Okay, I'm gonna go talk to Aunt Phoebe and see what she can tell me about the Succubus. I'll be home for dinner," I said, giving her a kiss on the cheek and orbing out.

"Hey P2, how's it hangin'?" Preston asked as I rematerialized in Aunt Phoebe's house.

"Not bad. Aunt Phoebe thinks I'm psychically connected to a demon and that my hot flashes and crazy dreams are connected to that, as well as my inability to stay off of my girlfriend whenever I'm around her. I can't hang out with her until I fix this and I'm going to have the house all to myself for a week. So, it's pretty good," I replied. Preston nodded, too engrossed in his video game to take in a word that I said.

"Oh, Parker, good. You're here," Phoebe said, coming down the steps.

"Um, yep," I said. She came over and went to pull me in the kitchen, 'accidentally' turning Preston's game off with her foot as she went.

"Hey!" Preston's protests followed after us. I grinned and sat down at the table.

"I swear that boy hasn't stopped playing that game since school let out. Doesn't he have a girlfriend?" Phoebe asked. I shrugged.

"I guess he and Leah don't hang out 24/7 like the rest of us do with our girlfriends and boyfriends," I replied. Phoebe sighed.

"Okay, so tell me exactly what's been happening with you that makes you think that the Succubus is back," she said.

"Well, about four days ago, when this heat wave started, I got these really horrible hot flashes and I couldn't stop sweating. I still can't. On top of that, I keep having these dreams that this woman is trying to seduce me and then she sticks her very long, demon looking tongue down my throat and sucks the life out of me," I explained again.

"Yeah, that's exactly what happened to me except that in my dreams I was the killer, not the victim. It definitely fits the profile of the Succubus. We should probably call Andy to see if there's been an increase in the number of dead men with all of the testosterone sucked out of them," Phoebe said. I nodded.

"I just don't get why she's connected to me this time instead of you again. I don't have any psychic powers, plus I'm a guy and way to young for her type," I said.

"Well, you could be wrong about the psychic thing. While you may not get premonitions, be an empath, or be a telepath like me, you may very well be able to receive premonition dreams. You did it with the yucky principal, didn't you?" Phoebe asked. I nodded. I hadn't heard anything about this. Why would I have a new power? Was it somehow linked to the fact that I picked up on my mom's dislike for Paige?

"So basically what that means is that I'm going to die a horrible death from a beautiful woman that I can't resist," I said, sizing up the situation.

"Pretty much, unless we figure out who the Succubus is and kill her… which we will of course," Phoebe added quickly.

"Uh huh," I said skeptically. "Well you'd better convince my mom of that because she's on the verge of canceling the trip to Europe."

"Oh no, she can't do that," Phoebe said.

"I told her not to worry and that we had everything under control, but that's about as impossible as ridding the world of evil permanently," I said. Phoebe nodded.

"Yeah, well she's always been like that. The last time she left us alone, Prue, Paige, and I almost got killed," she said with a grin.

"Well we just have to convince her that she can trust us," I said. It was funny how I kept using that word. "Anyways, I promised Mom I'd be home for dinner, so I'm gonna get going. I'll talk to Patience and see if her dad knows anything."

"Okay, thanks for stopping over and be careful. You might also want to ask Leo about your powers. He might know something," Phoebe said.

"Okay, I will. Bye," I said, orbing into Patience's house.

"Hey Parker, what do you need?" Aunt Prue asked, looking up from some articles for her magazine.

"Did Uncle Andy happen to say anything to you about a bunch of guys being killed lately?" I asked.

"Um, I think he might have said something. They had the testosterone sucked out of their bodies like the…"

"Like the Succubus," I finished. Prue nodded. "Well, when you see him, could you tell him to stop by my place with his files?" I asked.

"Uh, sure, I guess," Prue said.

"Thanks," I said, orbing back to my house. I plopped down at the table, very sweaty from all of the orbing and moving around I had done in the past hour.

"Hey Parker, how was your day?" Dad asked.

"Peachy," I replied. "You wouldn't happen to know anything about me getting a power advancement, would you?"

"Actually, yeah. I was just going to tell you. The Elders told me that you and your cousins would all be receiving new powers over the next few weeks here. They're all psychic based to help you out in your destiny," Dad said.

"Hm, well that must be why I was having the empathy issue with Mom and how I've been having the premonition dreams. Do we get telepathy too?" I asked. Dad nodded. "So are you guys still on for Europe?" I asked. Mom opened her mouth to say something, but Dad was too quick.

"Yeah, as far as I know," he said, looking to Mom who shut her mouth and nodded. I grinned.

That night brought more sweaty sex dreams. Now, normally I wouldn't mind sweaty sex dreams, but the fact that I died a painful death at the end of them kind of put off the hotness of them. It also kind of scared me because I knew that they were really going to happen. I didn't want to die, not yet, and not like that.

"Okay, I made sure that all of the laundry was done, that the cabinets and fridge were stocked, and that all of the dishes were done so you don't have to do anything. If you need anything, just call," Mom said, rushing around to pack a few last minute things.

"Okay Mom," I said.

"And make sure you check in with Prue so that she knows you're still alive," Mom said.

"Okay Mom," I repeated.

"And don't forget-"

"Okay Mom! I'll be fine, I promise. You worry to much. Go to Europe, have fun, don't worry," I said. She sighed.

"Be careful," she pleaded.

"I will. I love you," I said.

"Bye," she said, and with that her and Dad orbed out. I sighed and plopped on the couch. I would finally have some peace from the endless worry of Piper Halliwell. I scoffed as orbs filled the room, thinking it was Mom already, but it turned out to be Percy.

"Hey, I was just checking in to see if your parents left yet," she said, plopping a bunch of folders on the coffee table. "Uncle Andy told me to give those to you." I nodded and started riffling through them. "You know, you are so luck that you get to have the house all to yourself for an entire week," Percy said, a hint of jealousy in her voice.

"Uh huh," I mumbled, too busy reading the coroner's report on the first victim to care what the hell she was talking about. "Body completely void of testosterone; I knew it!"

"You are such a spaz," Percy said, giving me a disgusted look. "Anyways, I'll see you later Tory." I didn't even acknowledge her and she sighed and orbed out. Now I was finally alone. I read through the rest of the files, finding that they all matched the profile of someone killed by the Succubus. The only link to them was that they were all men that were Gold Club members at the local strip club. I shook my head. Sometimes I wondered what this world was coming to that guys needed to be Gold Club members at a strip club just to get their jollies. This was going to be so much fun.

I knew that I couldn't go in there myself. I was too young and I personally had no interest in strippers. I needed someone who could go in and investigate though. Frisco, Cole, and Andy wouldn't do it. More importantly, their wives wouldn't let them. So who could I get that was old enough and would be willing. I thought of the O'Reillys. Tanner and Payton weren't the Succubus type. She looked for strong men.

"Bailey!" I yelled. "Hey Bailey, come down here."

"What's up?" Bailey asked. He was the perfect candidate. He was muscular, he had powers, and he was good looking.

"I need a small favor," I said with a grin. About an hour later Bailey was off to the strip club, very willing to see naked women to score one for the good guys… and possibly himself. Meanwhile, I had all of the air conditioners blasting and was feeling kind of comfortable for once while I was lying up in my room.

"Hey." I looked up to see Kelsey in the doorway and smiled. I did want to see her, even though I was still worried that I would get way too hornyish with her around.

"Hey babe," I said.

"Sorry for just barging in. The front door was unlocked," Kelsey explained.

"That's okay," I said. She smiled and came over, lying next to me. I rolled over so that I was facing her and gave her a kiss. She shivered a little.

"It's like an icebox in here," she commented, her teeth chattering. I pulled the covers overtop of us, even though I was actually very comfortable in the cold. "You're sweet. So where have you been all this time?"

"Here mostly. I've been working at P4, too. I'm all alone for a week though. My parents just left for Europe," I said.

"Oh that's right, I remember you telling me that they were leaving. So what are you going to do all alone in this big empty house?" Kelsey asked impishly. I grinned. She was not making this easy for me.

"Well, I guess I'll just try to be good and keep myself from getting killed by demons," I said.

"Hm, well I could always, you know… keep you company," she said seductively, giving me another long, very hot kiss. I sighed, trying to keep myself under control.

"I think we could probably arrange that," I said quietly. Kelsey kissed me again, long and slow. We parted and I followed her hands down to her shirt where she slowly started unbuttoning. I put my hand overtop of hers, stopping her.

"Kelsey, you don't-" I started.

"Sh," she said, putting her finger to my lips. "I trust you," she whispered. That was all it took. My self control, my common sense, it all snapped away. All that was left was my intense desire to have her, right then and there. I kissed her again and took what I wanted; what we both wanted.

I very slowly came back to consciousness, but kept my eyes closed. I felt a warm body next to me and grinned, taking in the scent. It was wonderful. I opened my eyes to see Kelsey sleeping very peacefully next to me. She was so beautiful. I also realized that for the first time since the heat wave had started I wasn't suffering from hot flashes. I was warm and comfortable under the covers with Kelsey's body entangled with mine. I kissed her softly and pulled away, watching as her eyes slowly fluttered open. She smiled sleepily.

"Hey," she whispered.

"Hey," I said with a grin. My eyes suddenly went wide as orbs appeared.

"Hey Parker, my mom said I should- Oh my god," Percy said, her eyes wide and her skin whiter than usual. Kelsey turned around and gasped, making sure that the covers were pulled up all around her.

"Percy," I said.

"Oh god, oh god, oh god I'm so sorry, I had no idea and my mom told me come and wake you up and make sure you were okay and I had no idea and I'm so sorry," Percy rambled.

"Percy, it's okay, just stop. You have to promise not to tell anyone about this, especially not your mom or mine," I said. Percy nodded silently and stood there for a moment. I gave her a look and she orbed out quickly. Kelsey looked horrified.

"I should go," she said, standing up and making sure to keep the sheet wrapped around her. Before I could stop her, she had her clothes on and was rushing out the door. I sighed and fell back on the bed. What was I thinking?

"Wow, you look like hell. Why do you have crazy sex hair? I'm the only one who's old enough to have that," Bailey said a few hours later.

"I toss and turn a lot in my sleep," I lied, self consciously smoothing out my very messed up hair which I had forgotten to brush. "What did you find out?"

"Well, I think I figured out who the demon is. I saw this guy leaving with a girl about the same time I did. I didn't think anything of it until I saw his picture in the paper this morning. He was murdered last night. Had all the testosterone sucked out of him," Bailey said.

"That has to be it. Can you describe her?" I asked.

"Tall, blonde, totally hot," he replied.

"Wow that narrows it down to about every stripper in the city," I said (A/N: No offense to any tall, blonde, hot people out there). Bailey rolled his eyes.

"Didn't you say you had a dream about her? What did she look like?" he asked. I tried to remember my dreams, but all that would come to my head was last night.

"I can't remember. If I saw her, I would know her. Thanks though, for helping. Didn't Nicole get pissed?" I asked, referring to his fiancée.

"Nah, she trusts me, man. I've never given her any reason not to. Plus, she's a Truth Seer," Bailey said.

"A Truth Seer?"

"Yeah, it's a person who always knows if you're telling the truth. Comes in handy," Bailey explained. I nodded. "Anyways, I should be getting back. I've got a class to teach in ten minutes."

"Okay, thanks again," I said. Bailey nodded and orbed out. I decided to walk over to Aunt Phoebe's instead of orbing. I needed to stretch my legs. On the way though, I took a detour and went to Aunt Paige's. I found Uncle Frisco on the couch with some woman.

"Hey Parker, what d'ya need?" Frisco asked.

"Um, is Percy around?" I asked.

"Yeah, she and Patience are upstairs," Frisco replied. I looked at the woman next to him. "Oh, this is Ashleigh; she's one of my charges."

"Okay," I said, turning to go up the steps. I heard hushed whispers when I got to the door and I stopped to listen.

"You mean he had actually slept with her?" Patience asked. I rolled my eyes. These girls were definitely best friends and they might as well be sisters. They had to tell each other everything. I didn't really mind too much though. I knew that Patience wouldn't say anything.

"Yes! They were in bed… naked! And they both had crazy sex hair," Percy said. What was it with the crazy sex hair today?

"I just can't believe Parker did that. I would have thought that he would be the last of us to do it, not the first. Although, who knows, Preston and Leah probably did it the first night they met," Patience said.

"Hey! Why am I the last person?" I asked. The two of them jumped.

"Parker! Were you listening?" Percy asked, looking very scared.

"Don't worry, I don't care. I should have known that you would tell Patience. She's your best friend," I said. Percy relaxed a little.

"I don't know why you're last. I just wouldn't think you to be the sex at 16 type," Patience said.

"Well it's not like I had intentions of having sex with her. She came over and snuggled up to me and started unbuttoning her shirt. I tried to stop her, but she said that she trusted me. I'm still psychically connected to the Succubus and that means I'm crazy horny like all the time, so I couldn't stop. Had the circumstances been different, I wouldn't have done it," I explained. They nodded.

"Well, we won't tell anyone," Patience said.

"Thanks," I said gratefully. "Anyways, I need to go talk to Aunt Phoebe, so I'll see you guys later," I announced.

"Oh don't tell her you had sex; in fact don't even mention the word sex around her. She'll go all crazy on you. She probably already had a premonition about it. She uses those powers for the weirdest things," Patience said, getting a far off look in her eyes as she remembered the time that Aunt Phoebe told her that she was going to have sex with Kyle. I laughed and orbed out.

"Mom's not here," Preston said immediately as I orbed in. I sighed.

"Well where is she?" I asked.

"I don't know, but she's not hounding me about playing my games so I really don't care," Preston said. I shook my head. I decided again to walk home. It would only take a minute or two and I just didn't feel like orbing. As I stepped up on my porch and opened the front door, I felt a shiver go up my spine. I looked around, but I didn't see anyone. Someone was definitely there, though. I could tell. I went back up to my room and flopped on my bed. Suddenly the door slammed closed and I looked up to see the woman from my dreams, the Succubus.

"You've been keeping tabs on me, haven't you little boy?" she asked. I nodded, very nervous now and she came closer, climbing on top of me. "Tell me you want me."

"I want you," I said robotically. I didn't want her, but I couldn't tell her that.

"Tell me you need me."

"I need you," I said. She leaned down and kissed me. It was exactly like in my dream. She was going to kill me now and there was nothing that I could do about it. I was completely under her spell. Suddenly the door opened and Kelsey walked in. She gasped, looking hurt, worried, and angry all at the same time.

"Parker?" she asked. The Succubus hissed at her and for a split second I was free of her spell.

"Fire!" I yelled. Kelsey looked confused, but before she could do anything Patience and Percy orbed in while Preston shimmered.

"I think I can handle that," Percy said with a grin, shooting fire out of her palms. The Succubus screamed and burst into flames before disappearing. I jumped up to go after Kelsey who was now running down the steps. I grabbed her arm just as she reached the door.

"Kelsey, please! Let me explain," I said, panting a little.

"No! You cheated on me with that… demon! I gave myself to you and this is what you do? I trusted you," Kelsey said, tears surfacing in her eyes.

"Please babe, I was under a spell," I said.

"Kelsey, he's telling the truth. No man can resist the Succubus, not even Aunt Prue when she turned into a man," Percy explained. Kelsey looked a little relieved, but still hurt.

"I just need some time. I'll see you later," she said, walking out the door. I watched her go with sadness. I had gained the ultimate trust from her and lost it so quickly, all because of some demon.

"Why were you guys here?" I asked my cousins, trying to take my mind of Kelsey.

"I don't know. We just felt like you were in trouble and decided to come check it out," Patience said.

"It must be part of our new powers. Dad said that we got new powers that would make it easier for us to fulfill our destinies," I explained.

"Yeah, I wish someone would let us know these things, considering the fact that they concern… us," Patience said.

"Yeah. Well, thanks for helping you guys. I'm tired though, so I'm gonna go see if I can have a nice, cool, dreamless night," I said. Now that the Succubus was gone, the house was freezing. The others left and I went upstairs. I didn't go to sleep though. I thought about Kelsey. She had trusted me so much; enough to give me the ultimate gift, but now she barely trusted me at all. I would have to talk to her. I would smooth things out. I would tell her that I loved her. I would explain things to her…

Trust is a very important thing. If you have it, you can get the most special and important gifts in the world. If you don't, your life can be a miserable hell until you get it back. It can't be built overnight. You have to earn it, deserve it. I knew that I would spend a long time getting that trust back from Kelsey, but it would be worth the time. Anything to do with Kelsey was worth the time or anything else it might require, and I was going to show her just that.

Jeez this was a long chapter. I'll have you know that I did a lot of contemplating on whether or not I was going to make them sleep together, but I thought that it would go along with this theme. I lied. I said that I pictured Patience and Kyle to be the ones to sleep together, but I guess Parker and Kelsey are. Hope you guys didn't think I went too far with it. R&R or I'll kick your asses! Lol, just kidding (maybe). Till next time…

Aut
