Creep

“ Long time no see Harold,” Grayson said in a deep voice.

“ Not long enough,” I sneered “ What are you doing here?”

“ Harry be nice,” Gemma said stepping out from behind me.

“ Stay out of this Gem,” I said sternly
.
“ You should listen to your sister,” Grayson said smugly. I gave him the devils glare and saw him squirm. I stood up even taller and stepped forward invading his space. He stumbled back out of the doorway shrinking under my size. Grayson wasn’t weak, in fact, I’d say he’s quite strong, but I’m stronger. I backed him up onto the porch and shut the door behind us.

“ What the hell are you doing here,” I hissed.

“ Stay away from my girlfriend,” He replied suddenly gaining back his confidence.

“ Who Parker? “ I almost laughed “ She’s not your girlfriend anymore mate,”

“ Yes she is, I paid her a visit and we got everything figured out,” He said with a wicked grin.

“ You what?” My heart stopped. What does that mean pay her a visit? If he touched her in any way I swear I will kill him.

“ I talked to her, and now I’d appreciate it if you’d leave her the fuck alone. She would never go for some wannabe punk like you,” He spat.

My mouth hung in an O shape as he backed away. Anger, confusion, and hurt all flooded through me. How could she go back to him? Does talk really mean talk? Was she forced? Does she still love him? My mind was racing when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

“ Harry, you’re shaking,” Gemma said quietly. I turned to face her and she wrapped her arms around me. I wasn’t going to cry no, but there still was an intense feeling washing over me. I wasn’t hurt by him calling me a wannabe punk, I don’t care less about that, but I’m scared for Parker's safety. I just got her back into my life and I don’t want to lose her. If she got hurt I don’t know what I would do. I remember when I was younger and she used to stick up for me when I would get bullied. Like I said I was a nerd.

***FLASHBACK Year 2009***

“ Louis come push me! “ I yelled at him from across the playground. He came bounding over with his sister and her friend Parker in toe. I always thought Parker was pretty. She always wore her hair in little braids and sported a toothy smile. I told Louis that I thought she was cute but he told me to stay away because she had cooties. I always trust what Louis says, and he says to stay away I stay away.
He came up behind me and started pushing. On the swing next to us Parker started pushing Paisley. Paisley's hair light brown hair was flying around her face and her big blue eyes were bright and full of joy. Slowly Paisley and I became competitive to see who could swing higher. Louis and Parker caught on and began pushing frantically. Light giggles escaped my lips as the summer breeze tickled my face. I let go of the sides on the swing and felt the warm air on my palms. Pure joy and happiness spread through me.Everything felt so perfect to be with my friends and not have a care in the world. All that would end when Louis decided to give me an underdog. Since my hands were no longer holding on I lost my balance and went flying through the air. I let out a loud yelp and landed face first 15 feet away on a patch of grass. I hurt not only from the landing but from embarrassment.

“ way to go, Superman,” I heard an all too familiar voice sneer from behind me. I didn’t to look to know it was Jason. Jason is 5 years older than me making him 14. He was a complete jerk and my personal bully.

“ Get up fag,” he taunted. I hated that word. I’m not gay but it’s still incredibly rude and insensitive. I slowly turned around and stood up. He was about 10 inches taller than me and he was huge.

“ w-what do you want Jason,” I asked timidly.

“ You’re an idiot, I hope you know that,” He spat ignoring my comment.

“ And you’re a brat,” A voice came from behind Jason. From his side stepped Parker Jane glaring at him. She was so tiny compared to him. He was seven years older, 200 pounds heavier, and at least a foot taller.

“ Who the hell are you?” He yelled at her. Spit from his mouth collided with her face. She let out a yuck before wiping away the saliva.

“ I’m Parker Jane,” She said puffing out her chest. “ Who do you think you are picking on him?”

“ I can do whatever I want,” He muttered.

“ You can fly?” She asked sarcastically.

“ No of course not bu-,” Before he could finish Parker interrupted him.

“ Than you can't-do whatever,” She sneered. Jason turned pink looking more and more like the pig he was.

“ Listen, little girl you don’t know what the hell you're talking about,” He said invading her space but she just stood up as tall as she could.

“ I think I do. You must really have some issues if you think it’s alright to pick on someone 5 years younger than you. Who hurt you?” She asked sarcastically. Jason was so mad you could practically see the steam coming out of his ears. Instead of replying to her he turned to me.

“ Are you really so pathetic you need your little girlfriend to stick up for you?” He taunted. My cheeks turned an even darker shade of crimson.

“ She’s n-not my girlfriend,” I whispered shakily under my breath, I don’t think anyone caught it though.

“ Are you really so pathetic you’re getting shown up by a seven-year-old?” She sneered. Jason huffed and stomped away. She was positively grinning.

“ You ok?” She asked sweetly.

“ Uh yeah I’m fine,” I mumbled.

“ Your nose is bleeding,” She said softly. Was I? I didn’t even realize. “ Come to my house I love a block from here and my mom will take real good care of you,”

“ O-ok,” I nodded shyly. We did just that and spent the rest of the day on the trampoline she had in her backyard.

***END OF FLASHBACK***

I still remember that day vividly. Jason used to pick on me all the time, but after Parker talked to him he left me alone. It makes me laugh thinking back to it. He was huge and she was so tiny and sassy. It was absolutely adorable. At the time she was like a superhero to me. Jason wasn’t my only bully, but when Parker would come around it would all be ok. I just want the old Parker back. I’d do anything to get her, and I will.
