Chapter 6 – Not Like Him
After ordering our food, dad and I sat there actually having a relatively good time. We laughed about the funny things I had done when I was a child and the many adventures he had as a teen.
The waiter finally came over with our food and drinks and Ibeganto ask him a question, but stopped suddenlywhen I saw her.
"Dad, look ever there," Iwhispered, point behind him. "Behind you."
He put down his fork and turned around. He then looked back at me, his eyes wide and worried.
"Dad, it's Christine. Go talk to her," I suggested.
And with Mr. Simpson?
He quickly called the waiter and asked for a check.
"What are you doing, dad? It's Christine! Your cousin. We can't just leave now."
"Parker, there are things you don't understand. Things you can't understand. And we're leaving. Let's go."
"But Dad--"
"No," He threw a twenty on the table and got up, "Trust me, Parker. I'm doing this for you. Someday you'll understand, but for now just trust me."
Reluctantly, I got up and followed him. I was worried about him. This behavior was unusual, even for him.
We got in the car and drove off, not speaking to each other the whole ride home. Infact, we didn't speak to each other the rest of the night.
A/N. Sorry that it's so short. What'd you think of it regardless of its length?
degrassichick - Actually, Spike had Emma had because she was pregnant with her in the 8th grade which would make our about 13 or 14.
crashetburn - Yes, that's a very interesting little name you got for them..haha I've seen the old episodes, so I know how she is, but I'm trying not to make Parker too much like her mom. That'd be just a little too freaky.
