Ultimately

Ch. 3 - Parker Kelly

June 1, 2005

Santa Monica

Parker Kelly; 15 years old, long, dirty blonde hair, popular, beautiful, but empty. Parker lives in Santa Monica with her parents. They moved there about 6 months ago and yet she became the most popular girl in school. She had pretty much everything. Nice house, plenty of friends and she was the best surfer in town. But still, there was something missing.

She was never truly happy. Parker always walked around with fake smiles and laughs plastered on her face and everyone believed them. No one ever saw through her. They couldn't see the internal pain that ate at her heart making the emptiness forming bigger and bigger. Soon, that hole will get so enormous and excruciating that she'll just become numb. With every day of Parker's short life, the pain in her chest rips her little frame of a body apart. Everyone knows her as a strong and tough girl; except her.

Parker has the perfect teenage girl life. But no life is perfect. Parker's life is far from perfect. Believe her when she says that she tries to be happy; even ecstatic. But nothing works. But the secret and pain at the bottom of her heart prevents happiness and instead provides agony. The agony that she's somewhere out there but no one knows where. No one knows who she is.

Parker's parents have been living a lie making her live it too. Believing that everything is peachy fucking keen; that their life is perfect, and their family is whole; the perfect Hallmark card family. Bullshit; far from it.

Near Orange County

"This is the second time Alexandra in two years of high school! How the fuck do you think you're going to graduate with that reputation?" Mr. Kelly harshly spat at Alex while glaring at her with furious eyes.

"Dad, it wasn't my fault this time; I swear! I'm the scapegoat." Alex answered defensively.

"That doesn't really matter because you've already been expelled." Her mom exclaimed calmly.

The second time Alex was expelled was the second worst argument in the Kelly household that Parker has ever listened to. She hated hearing her parents repeat themselves to Alex about staying out of trouble and yelling at her. It never worked. Alex was a tough girl and she would stand up for herself. That's why she got kicked out of 2 schools; fighting.

Parker over heard the argument from the kitchen. "You got expelled again? What, did you kill a bitch this time?" Parker smart mouthed.

"Room. Go. Now." Mr. Kelly demanded to Parker.

"What, no soap in the mouth?" He glared at her. "I'm gone." Parker started to pick up on Alex's smart mouth attitude. While climbing the stairs where she would eavesdrop, Alex gave her a wink.

Parker and Alex were extremely close. If Parker got into trouble with their parents, Alex would be there. The two were hell for their parents. But Parker knew what they couldn't handle and therefore knew when to stop. But Alex didn't.

"One more time; you disappoint us one more time, you're gone." Mr. Kelly warned Alex.

"I disappoint you everyday so why not just throw me out now?" Alex answered.

"You want to push it? Keep going with the attitude. And I don't want you to influence Parker with your crap. Got it?" Mr. Kelly continued.

"Yes Sir." Alex responded in defeat.

Parker was sitting in her room. So bored she actually might have killed herself if she didn't find something to do, she scanned over the house. While walking past Alex's room, she remembered that Jodie was over, Parker decided to find out what they were talking about.

"Jodie, I can't. If I do, they'll kick me out." Alex said.

"Then you'll live with me. Is that such a terrible thing?" Jodie pleaded. "Please? You have to tell them sooner or later. Why not get it off your chest now? Come on; for me?"

Alex just couldn't tell her parents about her and Jodie. "Jodie, I love you, but I can't. Not now. I can't…"Alex gasped when she opened her bedroom door and saw Parker standing at her door. "Parker! What the fuck?"

"Hey. What's up?" Parker asked innocently.

"Whatever." Alex shrugged leading Jodie down the stairs. "I'm going out. If Mom asks, I'm at the mall, got it?" Parker saluted Alex.

Later that night around 11:00, Alex still wasn't home. Parker, wide awake as usual, wondered what Alex and Jodie were talking about earlier, wondered where she really went, and wondered why she didn't tell her.

1:45AM, Parker woke up, not realizing she fell asleep, to the scream fest down stairs. Alex was home. Parker had it. She hated when Alex made her parents yelled like this. What did she do now?

"Its almost 2 in the morning for God's sake! Where the hell have you been? Alex, why can't you behave? Be a damn role model for Parker? That's all we fucking ask from you. You're the worst influence for her." Mr. Kelly erupted in Alex's face.

"Then if I'm such a bad influence on her then I'll move out! There? Are you happy now? I'll just move out and get a job, and live with Jodie because she loves me and I love her!"

OMG! What? Parker couldn't believe what she just heard. Apparently, neither did her parents.

"What, did, you, just, say?" Mr. Kelly asked astonished. His eyes were burning into Alex's brain.

"You heard me. I love Jodie and there's nothing you can do about it." Alex repeated. What did she just say?

Parker couldn't believe it. This huge news was kept from her by her own sister. Alex told Parker everything and vise versa. Well, mostly. Parker leaned against the wall, slid down to the floor, and cried. She knew that her parents would kick Alex out for sure and wouldn't let her talk to Alex.

"I'll just get my stuff and I'm gone." Alex said as she ran up the stairs. She stopped at the top when she saw Parker sitting there in the hall, crying her eyes out. Alex was heart broken. She never wanted to hurt Parker like this. She never even thought about how all this would affect Parker.

"Alex." Was all Parker could muster out.


Present Day

Parker curled up on her bed. She couldn't take this anguish on her heart anymore. She needed to talk to Alex. She needed to see her. That's it. She decided to run away and find her sister. But the problem was… Alex lived in L.A. How was Parker going get there? Her dad's credit card.

She packed her clothes, her CDs, some food, grab Mr. Kelly's wallet off the counter, snuck out of the house, and she was off to L.A. to see Al.

Chapter 4 will be about Marissa and Alex. It will have 2 parts. I'll try to make the Chapters longer than the first 2. anyways. Keep reading and please please please review. Its takes like 2 seconds.
