Chapter 7 - He is different

Enjoy :)) btw I have a TikTok that I post edits on called gabriellacamacho6 and i started a story on there that is why I haven't posted a chapter in a while but I hope you like this one

"Yeah" I said trying to read his face
Before he could say anything his phone started to ring in his pocket.
"Sorry" he said reaching into his pocket and pulling out his phone.
"It's my mom" he said confused
He placed the phone on his ear and his face quickly darkened.
I couldn't hear what she was saying but he seem worried.
....
"Okay bye."
He ended the call. I noticed his hand shaking as he reached to put it back in his pocket
He licked his lips and his eyes darted down and then back up at me. I held his gaze and reached out for his hand. He swiftly moved it up to his neck rubbing it nervously
"Is everything okay?" I asked my stomach tightening
He opened his mouth as if about to talk but no words came from his lips. He was breathing heavily and I could see the fear In his eyes.
"Pete." I said softly "Pete, it's okay"
He stayed silent not looking me in the eyes
"I'm sorry" he said after a while of nothing.
"Why are you sorry-" I began
"I-I have to go" he said backing away
My heart started to race. What had I done.

"wait but how will i get home?" i said fiddling with my fingers.

he looked up tears in his eyes. "i will drive you home" he said shakily walking back towards me. he led me back towards the car and opened the door for me. i smiled up at him but he still seemed so worried. i pulled out my phone to text Amelia and tell her where i was going.

me: i'm heading home is everything okay with mike?

my hands were shaking as i typed the message

Amelia: yah evrythng geat mike s so fnu

i could tell she was rushing the text so she could spend more time with mike so i left it at that and put my phone back away

i avoided saying anything in the car journey and he also stayed quiet. my mind was racing, what had his mum said to him that had shaken him this much? when we got to my house i opened the door before he could do it for me. he went to get out his seat but then sunk back into it. i felt tears creeping into my eyes as i shut the door. swiftly, i turned around so he wouldn't see them dripping out.

"bye." he said to my back. as a tear spilled down my cheek. "bye" i croaked without turning around. i took a sharp breath and started towards my door.

Pete's mind: 'Please turn around, please show me that you're okay.'

i went to turn around but stopped myself before opening my door and shutting in it behind me. soon after i was alone my heart sunk dragging me down to the floor. my stomach ached as my tears soaked my cheeks. "its over" i managed to get out before leaning my head back on the door and falling asleep.

(sorry that was so dramatic i just thought it would be fun lol)

Petes POV

"Mike." i whispered down the phone

"i messed things up mike." my voice was shaky and my stomach was bound in a dozen knots.

"i was just so worried"

"Woah woah, Pete what happened." mike said trying to calm me down.

i felt a warm tear trickle down my cheek. "Betsy has disappeared." i whispered trying to contain myself.

"what do you mean disappeared?" mike said confused.

"i don't know, that is all my mum said" i bit my lip as i waited for mike to respond.

i stood there in silence all i could hear was my heavy breathing. "mike?" i said after a moment

"yeah sorry i- i don't know what to say." he said hesitating "Pete, she will come back."

he was reassuring but i couldn't help but still worry. and now i had messed things up with y/n as well. she could have helped me. why had i been so stupid. i'm such an idiot. she would never talk to me now. i had made her cry and she didn't even know why.

"mike imma have to call you back."

"okay."

i sighed and hung up the phone. i threw it on my bedside table and slumped onto my bed. and finally after a while of staring blankly at the ceiling. i fell asleep.

y/n POV

"y/n, y/n" i woke to the sound of my sister calling my name. my back jolted as she shoved open the door behind me. i scoffed as she stepped over me and into the hall.

"why are you sleeping leaning on the door?" she asked judgingly.

i ignored her question and asked one of my own. "where's mum and dad?" i said trying to see past her.

"they went to the takeaway place, we are getting Chinese." she said placing the house keys on the table. "they told me to come home first and tell you." i sighed and stood up rubbing my sore neck.

"why are your cheeks so red? were you crying?" she said walking towards me suddenly serious. i backed away quickly rubbing my eyes.

"No, of course i wasn't" i said not looking her in the eye. she ignored my protest and continued to question me.

"did something happen with the batboy?" she said her eyes warm and soft.

i took a step back and collapsed on the stairs. "he just suddenly cut me off. it was like he suddenly didn't care anymore. i don't know what to do." i looked up at her waiting for a reaction.

she bit her lip i could see the anger bubbling inside her. "that is what people like him do.. they say they like you and then they cut you off like they no longer know you." her voice was quicker now and more frustrated.

"But he's not like them....he's different" i said trying to defend him she shook her head.

"no, they are all the same." she said her fists clenching.

"no." i choked "that's not true. he was different" i repeated as if things would change the more times i said it. i looked down and tried to steady my breathing.

"i'm going upstairs." i sighed and got up slowly brushing past her and walking slowly up the stairs. i could feel my sister watching me intently as i did so.

but when i got to my room i collapsed again and sobbed into the bed sheets.

:) kinda sad chapter but i hope you liked it sorry it took so long to get out.
