??? POV
I've been in this world for a few months now and so far, I don't know if I like it. I haven't felt myself at all lately and its low key pissing me off. What's worse is that I think I'm actually falling in love with Parker. I left my world to have a better life here, but so far it's not much better. I've been debating on if I should tell Parker who I really am or not. The thing is, he loves Ridgway, not me. And I'm pretty sure he's getting suspicious of me since I've been failing at trying to be Ridgway.

I sat at my computer desk, slouched in my computer chair and stared at a manual pencil sharpener. I looked away from it and saw that Ridgway had a mini screw driver in the desk drawer. Weirdo. I got the screw driver and started un screwing the pencil sharpener. I took the blade that was now un screwed, and stared at it as I held it with my fingers.

I moved my hand toward my arm with the blade and started making fresh cuts. The next thing I knew, my arm was completely covered in fresh new cuts. This time they were on top of my arm since I still had a few stitches on the other side.

After I got the bleeding to stop, I hid the blade in the desk drawer that Ridgway seemed to keep locked. Thankfully I found the key in his night stand. I heard my phone go off, and saw I had a text from Parker. He was heading over, so I put on my grey hoodie to hide the new cuts.

Parker
I sent Jesse a text telling him that I was coming over. Something was going on with him and I plan to find out, because I don't like it one bit. When I arrived at his house I saw him waiting outside for me like he always does now. He walked over to my car as I got out and was greeted by his lips on mine. I always get sucked in to his kisses.

"Hey Park, I missed you."

"I missed you too."

I mumbled. I needed to act like nothing was wrong.

"Do you wanna go play some video games in the basement?"

Now that sounds like my Jesse.

"Sure."

I followed him down and into the guest room. I sat on the couch while he got the Xbox set up for us to play. I figured we were gonna play a Halo game, knowing Jesse.

"What are we playing?"

I asked him as he sat on the couch and handed me a controller.

"Halo 2."

Called it.

"Hmm, I guess that was a stupid question, huh?"

I asked jokingly.

"Yes, haha. Damn babe, I thought you knew me."

Jesse said playing along and then kissing me on the cheek. I blushed.

"Do you even still wanna play?"

"Not really. We've been playing for two hours and it's getting boring."

I replied to him. He got up to turn everything off except for the tv itself. He put it back on regular tv and sat back down next to me on the couch.

It was weird, usually Jesse can play a Halo game for hours on end. We only played for two hours though, and I'm usually the one that gets bored of it first. Yeah, something isn't right here. He seems like Jesse but he also doesn't, if that makes any sense.

Jesse laid on my chest while we watched tv. I had my arm wrapped around his shoulder.

"So, when is that drinking night?"

I asked to break the silence.

"Oh shit, I actually forgot about that. When are you good to be full of alcohol?"

Shit, he had forgotten about it? I shouldn't have said anything!

"I mean, whenever we aren't filming the next day is good for me, I guess."

"Wanna do it tonight then?"

I looked at my phone when he asked.

"Eh, it's already too late, unless you have all that you think we can drink here."

'Shut up Parker!! You don't even want to drink, why are you encouraging him!'

I yelled at myself mentally. It was already 10:00, and I wasn't going to the store or anywhere tonight.

"Yeah man! You know I got all that shit. Follow me, my love."

He pulled me by the hand and into the little room where the fridge was. He opened it up and I saw all his dad's beer and some... Is that fucking Vodka!? Jesus fuck, he's gonna have me sick as hell!

I watched him grab the Vodka and some of Mr. Ridgway's beers. He closed the fridge door and grabbed two shot glasses as we walked back into the guest room. We both sat in the floor across from each other at the coffee table that was in front of the couch.

"Here, gonna start off with some beers first."

"We're gonna drink straight vodka??"

"Haha, awww, can your tummy not handle vodka??"

He teased.

"Pfft! I can handle it fine! I'm just more worried about you, that's all!"

"Yeah, right. Let's make this interesting babe."

"How do you mean?"

I asked as I tilted my head in confusion, also trying to look cute for the boy.

"Okay, who ever can go all night without vomiting, wins. If I win you have to work for free for a week."

He explains. I nodded my head at him in agreement.

"Fine, but if I win you have to tell me a secret that you're keeping, if any."

His eyes widened for a split second. I was hoping to get him to confess why he has been acting so weird.

"Okay, deal."

He agreed.

It's been an hour and we've both gone through six bottles of beer and five shots of Vodka. I felt a little sick, but not enough to puke. Jesse seemed perfectly fine.

"Had enough yet babe?"

Jess asked.

"I'm fine."

I said as I took a few more gulps of beer.

I really needed to win this little bet. I'm not ready to tell Parker about who I really am yet. I filled my shot glass to the brim and took the shot. Parker grabbed the small trash can next to him and began getting sick.

"I win!"

I yelled with excitement.

"Yeah yeah. You win Jess."

"Haha, sucks for you babe!"

I teased him as he continued to vomit in the trash can.

"Ugh, no more Jesse. I can't do anymore..."

Park complained.
