After Leo and Cole orbed and shimmered out (respectively), Parker felt truly alone for the first time. When she was growing up she was always with someone from the Halliwell clan, even when she was shuffled between her parents, she was never allowed to travel on her own.
Her mom died, her aunts abandoned her, and her uncles left her with a virtual stranger. She had no friends in Boulder. She already hated it here. She and her dad bonded over gymnastics when she was younger, but when her powers were unbound she thought it would give an unfair edge to her. After all, can a telekinetic, levitating witch who can have premonitions and freeze (and eventually blow up) things truly be a testament to the sport?
She was siting on a bench outside the gym when tree girls in sweatpants and leotards walked out of the gym laughing- looking happy- a welcome sight for Parker. The blonde said something to her friends and they nodded and walked back inside.
Parker watched the blonde as she approached. "Hey, you're Sasha's daughter, Parker, right? I'm Lauren!" Parker just nodded. "Well hey, I know it sucks and doesn't mean anything coming from me, but I'm sorry to hear about your mom. My mom died a few months ago... But she wasn't ever in my life. It's always just been me and my dad. Anyway, I wanted you to know you have a friend in me I you want it, that is. And I'm sure you'll love Peyson and Kaylie. If your dad let's you, maybe we can have a sleepover or something to welcome you to Boulder."
Parker nodded and stood."That'd me really nice, Lauren. Sorry I can't stay to talk but I think dad may worry if I stay out much longer. But a sleepover sounds great." Parker mustered as much enthusiasm as she could.
Lauren and Parker parted ways with the promise of friendship, and the young gymnast headed to her car as her witch counterpart headed inside.
Sorry for the shortness, but this is the last chapter I have pre-written. I don't want to be an author who gives ultimatums, but unless someone writes a review or acknowledges that they want me to continue, I'm not going to work on this story, and instead I will focus on developing stories I know that are being read
