"When is the last time you've even seen your parents?" Parker is sprawled out across my bed, looking particularly comfortable actually.

"Um, a week? I got a post-it note for my mom yesterday."

Out of the corner of my eye I see him shake his head.

Ever since Parker's dad showed up he's been spending a lot of time over here. I told him this was his second home, then he shook his head. Then, he told me that wasn't true, I was his only home.

I cross my room, and sit on my bed next to him.

"I'm over it," I tell Parker. "I'm just done with them."

"You can't just be done with your parents, Ry."

"Why can't I? It looks like they're done with me."

"That's not true, they're just lost right now."

That's something I could agree with.

"Well, aren't you technically done with your dad?"

He mulls over this, "no. I'm just trying to figure things out."

"I guess we're all just figuring aren't we?"

He laugh, "that didn't really make sense."

I shrug, "we're all trying to make things fit back into place. Sometimes it's just like shoving a puzzle piece into the wrong spot."

He sits up next to me, gazing at me.

"What?" I ask with a laugh.

He smiles. "I love you."
