Lollie Parker


Lollie had dragged Noah to Farkle's place late at night.

She repeatedly knocked on his bedroom door until she answered.

"What?!" He shouted.

"You're coming with us." Lollie said.

"Going where exactly?"

"I wish I knew." Noah said.

"Please, Farkle."
﹏﹏﹏﹏

Lollie stood at the train station with Noah and Farkle.

The two of them kept asking the girl questions.

"Can you two stop? You two were willing to help me, so stop asking questions."

Noah sighed and pulled Farkle off to the side.

"Is she okay?" Farkle asked.

"Yeah- no. I don't know anymore." Noah answered, "I mean, yeah she's physically okay, but mentally, I don't know."

Farkle looked over at Lollie who rocked back and forth.

"Maybe she's going to find herself." Farkle said.

The train pulled up and the three answered.

"You know, the girls met Lucas." Farkle said, "In that exact spot right there."

He pointed towards the seat on the bus, a boy sat there reading a magazine.

"Go talk to him." Farkle said.

Lollie looked at him, "No."

"Come on, it's not your going to see him again." Noah encouraged.

Lollie sighed. She walked up to the boy and sat down beside him.

She smiled, "Hi."

"Hey."

She became nervous. She didn't know why.

"I'm, Luca."

"How nice." Lollie said, "I'm Winter."

Lollie extended her hand for him to shake.

He put his magazine down and shook her hand.

"It looks like it's going well over there." Farkle said.

"I mean yeah, she's coming back."

Lollie wrapped her hand around the poll and smiled at the two boys.

"So? How was it?" Farkle asked.

"I mean, he's just another boy. Nothing really interesting happened." Lollie said.

"Whatever you say."
﹏﹏﹏﹏

Once the three arrived, Lollie banged on the door.

"Who lives here?" Farkle asked.

Noah shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't want your cookies-"

The man looked down at the three of them.

"Of course." Noah muttered.

"Oh! Come inside."

Lollie pushed past the boys and headed inside the fairly large cabin.

The boys quickly followed behind and saw a girl and a woman sitting on the couch.

"Who's that?" Noah asked.

"That's his girlfriend Katherine and her kid daughter Alexa."

The two waved from the couch.

"What are you doing here, Lollie?" Zander asked.

"I need help."

Lollie walked into the kitchen and placed her bag down.

Zander, Noah, and Farkle followed behind her.

"With?"

Lollie sighed before speaking, "There's something wrong with me."

Zander laughed.

He quickly stopped when no one else laughed, "You're being serious?"

Lollie nodded.

Zander faces the boys, "Do you two know about this?"

"Eh."

Zander rolled his eyes.

Lollie sat at the table with a piece of cheesecake in front of her.

"Where'd you get that?" Zander asked.

"The fridge."

Noah looked over at her and smiled.

He grabbed a fork and took a piece of cheesecake.

"I, uh- don't know how long that's been in there." Zander said.

The two siblings opened their mouths and let the food fall out.

"Is that normal for them? To copy each other's actions?" Zander asked.

"Yes. Yes, it is." Farkle answered.

Katherine stood up and headed towards the group.

"You've got to help me." Lollie said, "What's wrong with me?"

Zander folded his arms.

What was he going to do?
﹏﹏﹏﹏

Lucas sat alone at the bay window waiting for Zay to show up.

Zay finally came inside and popped his head inside.

"Where are the girls?" Zay asked.

"They're not here." Lucas said.

"And you're sittin' in here by yourself?" Zay asked.

"Yeah. I've been here for like five hours."

"Okay, this is a new level of creepy." Zay said.

Zay sat down beside him.

"I wanted to talk to you. Riley, Lollie, and Maya you love them, right?"

"Of course I do. How did you know?" He asked.

"Because that's you. Why?"

"They are all different. All unique. How could you not like them? They're lovely, wonderful girls."
﹏﹏﹏﹏

Noah sat with Alexa as Katherine sat with Lollie.

"Is he a good dad?" Alexa asked.

Noah faced Alexa, "He's not my dad."

"Oh, so their siblings?"

Alexa looked at Farkle; he was looking at books with Zander.

"No. I'm her brother, Zander's not my dad. Farkle is our friend."

Alexa nodded, "But is he a good dad?"

Noah looked back at Alexa, "I mean, to Lollie? Yeah, I guess. He hasn't been around long enough for me to really know."

Alexa nodded.

"Is he a good dad?" He asked.

Alexa smiled, "Yeah. Great even. Wish my dad was around like Zander was."

Noah nodded.

Katherine sat in the kitchen with Lollie.

"So you don't want to tell her because?"

"She'll take it too literally or it'll hurt her feelings."

Katherine nodded, "Doesn't it hurt though?"

Lollie looked up at her, "Does what hurt?"

"You. On the inside."

"I mean- my per-"

"No. Not that. Let me explain, if you like Lucas and Riley is driving you "insane" and you haven't told either one of them. Isn't that eating you up inside?"

Lollie nodded.

Katherine laughed, "There's nothing wrong with you Lollie. You're just feeling new and different, sometimes unwanted feelings. It's normal."

"Then why do people look at me differently. There's something wrong with me."

"Lollie, sweetie. There's nothing wrong with you. You may be changing a little bit and that's normal. It's apart of life." Katherine said, "Don't hold in your feelings because you don't want to hurt people. It's gonna suck in the long run."

Zander walked into the kitchen.

"It's going to take time for you to figure yourself out along with all these feelings."

Zander sat down beside Katherine.

"You're a normal, strong, teenage girl. You're growing up, that's really all that's different." Zander said.

"Are you sure?"

"We're positive."
﹏﹏﹏﹏

Lollie pushed the door open, everyone, including Mr. Matthews, Mrs. Matthews, Riley, Maya, Lucas, and Zay stood in the Parker living room.

"What's going on?" Noah asked.

Finn looked back at the door, "Good. You guys are here."

"How was your trip?" Bailey asked.

"Good? What's going on?" Lollie asked.

Bailey shrugged her shoulders.

Finn grabbed Bailey's hand and pulled her to the center of the room.

"I love you."

Bailey smiled, "I love you too."

Finn looked back at Lollie and Noah.

"Okay, I'm nervous."

"Don't be."

"Okay," Finn sighed. He got on one knee and it was dead silent.

"We've been married for a while and I love our family and I would love to let everyone but most importantly you. So would you do me the honors and let us renew our vows?"
