he's from North Carolina, and definitely was left free to kind of run around on his own for the most part because his parents definitely did not keep a close eye on him. they definitely could have spent the summers together growing up. Wes has been in and out of Boston since he was 18 when he moved there to attend BU, so that definitely could have been an influencing factor for either of them, depending on when Parker got there (and a reason for Wes to keep coming back/setting Boston up as his home base)
