His Number Changed So I Changed My Life Chapter 06
My head was still spinning from the impact.
Before I could fully recover, I heard two familiar voices outside the car.
Austin started to open his door, but his hand froze on the handle.
“Parker, what do we do?” Madison’s voice was shaking. “I just got my license, I only wanted to take you for a drive. I can’t have the tabloids splashing this all over the internet for a week.”
Parker murmured a few words to comfort her, then walked over to our car.
