This one is a lot shorter because it didn't make sense to break the chapter earlier.

I hope you enjoy this and please review, your opinions make me very happy.

Parker is having a panic attack, her naked body is now covered by the sheet she wrapped around her body and she's grabbing the edge of it hard as she hides her face on his pillow.

Fuck! This was not supposed to happen! Sophie and Nathan are going to kill him as soon as they find out. Why did he do this? She was crying before and he took advantage of her vulnerability! Fuck! Eliot crawls back on the bed not knowing what to do.

"Parker" He calls in a strand of voice as tears start to build up on his own eyes, oh God, what has he done? "Parker, I am sorry, I never meant for this to happen..." She starts to cry even more, her chest shaking as she sobs; he scratches his head completely lost by all that, she seemed so fine, she seemed so sure... "We should never have done this..." She sobs even more and finally words start forming in her mouth, light blue eyes so full of tears they cut the air on his throat.

"Why?" She pouts like a little child; her downer lip shaking in effort as she tries not to cry more.

He seats with his back against the bed frame not knowing what to tell her, not understanding what's going on. She curls up underneath the sheets as if she wants to disappear from the world and starts to cry again, finally he decides to go under the sheets with her and puts his arms around her, preying she will not freak about it. Parker doesn't move as if she doesn't notice his touch, she just keeps crying and sobbing, lost inside her own world.

"Parker, honey, please tell me what's wrong so I can help you, please, please, please tell me what's wrong!" She nuzzles on his neck, wetting his skin as she keeps crying; it's a good thing though, she's reaching for him for comfort instead of pushing away.

He pats her on the head, trying to show he's not going anywhere and she slowly calms down.

"I am scared!" She states with a very not-Parker, shaky voice. Eliot's eyebrow arches as several emotions assault him. If this has anything with the men that hurt her he's definitely going to leave this night and kill them; hell, he will even use guns on them!

"Scared of what?" He kisses her on top of the head, her hair smells so great.

"I don't know what happens next... You've been with so many girls and they're normal, I am not..." Eliot gulps, he thought he had made clear he only wanted her, apparently he didn't and now she gave herself to him, soul and heart, without even being sure he felt the same.

"Normal is boring, you are exiting!" He says it and gives her shoulder a light squeeze, trying to make her smile.

"You say that now... Nate and Sophie they aren't normal either, but they do normal stuff, they date, they have dinner and go to the cinema and they had a baby and..."

"Whoa, Parker! -He stares right into her eyes to make sure she gets it this time. - We are not Nate and Sophie and we don't need to do any of those things if you don't want to..."

"What about what you want? That's important too!" He smiles; it feels so warm to know she cares that much about him.

"We can do things we both like, you know, there are lots of things we're both are interested in. As for the normal things; I can leave without them as long as I have ya!" He kisses the top of her head again and she closes her eyes, feeling only his touch and his smell around her, she wishes she could stay like this forever.

"And what if I want to go on dates and normal stuff?" He's confused again, why would she want to do it if she doesn't like it?

"We can do it but, darlin', please don't change for me! I like you just how you are, as crazy as you are!" She smiles at that last sentence of his and plants a kiss on his chest.

Eliot uncovers their heads for air and because it's getting extremely hot under the sheets, she strands her right leg across his lap and he keeps one of his arms around her, they stand in silence, an awkward silence yet peaceful silence until she asks him a question and her voice is so hurt it makes him want to punch himself in the face for having said that.

"You said we should never have made this. Why?" Her downer lip is trembling again.

"'Cause you were crying and I thought you regretted what we made here tonight!" She shakes her head again.

"No, I was just scared I was going to break us" He chuckles at her words.

"You can never break us Parker!"

"So, you don't regret what happened?" He feels his chest with air, choosing his words carefully.

"You know what, Parker? I had sex with lots of women, but I've only made love with two; Aimee and you and I don't feel for Aimee anymore so..." She smiles again and he feels his chest getting lighter. "Did you feel good with me, Parker? She arches an eyebrow at him that says, "Did it look like I didn't feel good?", "Cause ya know I was a bit scared that you'd have flashbacks or somethin'; that my hands and me inside you would feel... wrong..." There's a knot building in his throat, he knows what she feels about this and maybe it's a mistake to approach the subject like that.

"What they did to me, Eliot, I now know it has nothing to do with sex and it definitely has nothing to do with love making! Your hands felt great on me and you felt perfect inside me..." She strokes his chest with her own hand and finally adds "I feel so safe in your arms those thoughts would never cross my mind" It's his turn to smile.

He gives her one final kiss and turns the light off. For the first time on a very long time Eliot Spencer sleeps more than ninety minutes and Parker doesn't have nightmares.

They wake up in the morning on the same tangle of arms and legs they fell asleep in.

So is Parker finally healed or will the past come back to haunt her?
