"What the hell were you thinking! Running away like that is not going to look good if your mother takes this to court for a custody battle! Do you have any idea how stupid that was?" Ryan looked at Parker who was refusing to look him in the eye. Marissa had left only a few moments before to let Ryan deal with his son.
"Look at me!" Parker was shaking in fear that Ryan was going to hit him. That's why he wasn't looking up. He knew the instant he did Ryan would turn one of his eyes black.
"I'm sorry, okay!" He said.
"Look at me." Ryan said again as he gently placed a hand on Parker's shoulder. He felt him tense imediatly. Finally realizing the reason Parker was hardly acknowledging him, Ryan placed his hand under Parker's chin and gently but firmly forced him to look at him.
"Hey. Your safe here okay? No one is going to hurt you ever again. Do you understand?" Parker looked at Ryan not really sure of weather he was telling the truth of not but realizing he didn't really have a choice. This guy was going to fight for him and his siblings. And by the looks of it, he had a lot of money which meant a lot of friends in high places which meant of course, he'd win.
"Y-yes."
"Okay, now, why did you try to run away?" Parker looked at the man who was suppossed to be his father. He didn't know how to answer. No one had ever cared enough to ask those kinds of questions before.
"I-I-"He stuttered.
"Just tell me the truth."
"I didn't think you actually wanted to keep me. I mean I was just realized how angry John would be when he found out I didn't come home. Then when they find out where I am now. I'm dead."
"No. Parker, I need you to understand that you are here for good. Tomorrow Seth and I are going to take you back home, your going to get your stuff, then we are going to come back here and start a new life as a family."
"Okay. I believe you."
"Good. Now, why don't we go and try to get at least a few hours of sleep. Because trust me, tomorrow is going to be a long day."
"Okay."
"Goodnight, Parker."
"Goodnight Mr. Atwood."
"Ryan."
"Ryan."
