Through his eyes

10

I was standing in front of Peter's huge double door, considering if I should really do this.
Before I could decide my next move Peter swinged the door open.

"Hey" I breathed out
"What do you want?" Peter asked leaning on the doorway,
"First of all I'm sorry" I started
"I swear I did not intend on sleeping with Selena. I can't really remember what happened but I'm 100% sure I told her no. I'm starting to believe that someone drugged me." I admitted truthfully "and I'm sorry for... hitting you" I said looking down.

Peter crossed his arms over his chest
"I'm sorry too" Peter said,
I was quite shocked to hear these words come from his mouth since her rarely admitted that he was wrong or sorry.
"I shouldn't have reacted that way, and I shouldn't have said what I said" he said scratching his neck.

"So about that drugging part" he started
"Yeah well... I didn't drink any alcohol or beer, I only had a coke. But after waking up I had similar symptoms to a hangover" I explained
"Wait let's get inside" Peter said ushering me inside his large home, his parents were rarely at home so I wouldn't have to fake some politeness.

"Someone must've put something in your coke. But how though?" Peter asked leaning back on his couch
"I think it was Selena" I thought out loud
"I mean she was the only one who could've done it" I said massaging my temples
"Theo, we should go to the police" Peter said
"No. Aren't her parents like really influential? That would cause unnecessary drama and at the end I would be the bad one - so no" I said thinking about it.
It was silent for a while.
"You sure that is hit is fucking illegal she should get locked up for this" Peter said
"I... I know but you women like her, she will just lie and turn me into the bad guy" I stated running my hands over my face,

"We're good?" I asked Peter just to be sure
"Of course bro" he said chuckling.
I noticed how he was looking at me with a worried expression,
"Spill it out" I pushed knowing he was holding back

"I need your help" he blurted out
I knew it.
"Okay" I said calmly
"It's about Imani" he said smiling
Oh no
"I think I... I like her more than just a potential hook up" he said blushing a little,
as these words left his mouth I knew it was done for me
I think I'm going to throw up

"Theo? Are you okay?" Peter asked concern evident in his voice
"Y-yeah" I breathed out
"Theo you are shaking! Are you having a panic attack?!" Peter asked getting up to stand in front of me
"I think so" I breathed out,
I couldn't breath properly and my chest hurts, it felt like as if I am about to pass out.

"W-what should I do?!" Peter asked panicking
"Nothing" I croaked out, Peters eyes widened at my response
"What do you mean nothing?!" He asked wide eyed
"W-wait" I groaned and squeezed my eyes shut as the pain in my chest got worse, I had much worse panic attacks than this one and it will eventually go away.
"But-"
"Just W-wait!" I groaned

•••

"Here" Peter said handing me a glass of water
"Thanks" I mumbled, I have calmed down by now.
"Theo"
"Hm?"
"Are you sure you're okay?" Peter asked worried,
"Yes"
"But-"
"Can we please not talk about it?" I said before he could finish his sentence

"So why do need my help now?" I asked placing the empty Glas on his couch table.
Peter sighed before answering "She is different than other females I've met. Nothing is working on her" Peter said laying on his couch like we are having a therapy session,

"What do you mean nothing's working on her" I asked
"Well, she doesn't care about my money, cars or appearance. Kind of like you" Peter said exhaling loudly
"Uhm" what's that supposed to mean?
"What should I do?" Peter asked sitting up now
"Just be yourself?" I said confused
"Well myself doesn't interest her!" Peter snapped
"Peter you shouldn't act a different way just to get her" I said truthfully
"Why?" He asked
"W-why?!" I repeated
"Theo you are supposed to help me" Peter said wailing like a child like Will for example

"I am"
"No you're not!" Peter said crossing his arms over his chest and turning away from me.
I really don't know what to do, it would be wrong to not help him because of my selfishness but I wouldn't like seeing them together.
"Just... take her out on a Date" I said leaning back in his armchair,
Peter wasn't responding so I looked to my side to see what he was doing.
"What are you doing?" I asked him
"Imani posted something in her story" he said concentrated on his phone
"Her story?"
"Yes Theo, her story. If you wouldn't live like you're from Stone Age you would know" Peter said chuckling
"Maybe I like it that way" I murmur
"No you don't, you basically don't exist" Peter said laughing
"Give me your phone" Peter commanded,
"Why?" I asked
"Just give it to me" Peter said,
I unlocked my phone and handed it to him
"Sooo... let's start with Instagram...And done" Peter mumbled
"What's your name"
"You know my-"
"-What's your name!" Peter asked louder cutting me off
"Theo"
"Good. Your last name?"
I rolled my eyes at Peters stupid questions
"Hunt"
"Obviously you are a male" Peter muttered
"When's your birthday again?"
"10th November-"
"Oh yea right"
I don't know if I should be hurt by the fact that he forgot my birthday or if should just let it go, whatever.

"Now we need a profile pic for your account"
I groaned at that information - I don't like taking pictures.
'Click' I Heard that all to famous clicking sound and snapped my head in Peters direction
"Delete it!" I ordered sternly
"Nope" he said popping the P
"Let's take a few more to post them" Peter said getting up
"No?" I said annoyed
"Take your shirt off" he said expecting me to really do it
"Noo?" I chuckled humourlessly
"The girls like that- I promise" he said holding my phone towards me
"I don't care if the girls like that" I said irritated
"Can I have my phone back?" I asked reaching for it
"Yeah that's a good pose now smile" Peter said encouragingly
'Click'

"I said smile not frown" he said looking at the picture he just took
"Can I have it back now?" I asked, I was getting tired of this
"You can have it back- If you smile, only one time" Peter said moving my phone back towards my face.
I sighed before giving him a small smile, I'm feeling kind of embarrassed. Taking pictures is actually so weird.

"There we go" he said chuckling at my phone
"And posted" he said tossing me my phone back
"What?!" I asked wide eyed
"Calm down" he said slumping back on the couch before getting his own phone out his pocket.
I took a glance at my new account, my profile picture was the one Peter took when I wasn't looking, the lights were dimmed and I looked to the side showing off my side profile.
'P_E_E_T_R mentioned you in their story'
"No need to thank me" he said with a smug grin
"Why?" I asked,
all of a sudden I got multiple notifications
"That's why" he said laughing

I got over hundred notifications from Instagram in less than a minute.
I put my phone on 'do not disturb'
"You also need Snapchat" he said reaching for my phone again
"No thanks I'm just gonna stick with Instagram" I said putting my phone in my pocket
"Alright man, I should go now" I said glancing at the clock on the wall, he also took a look on the clock on the wall. His eyes widened a little

"Yea you should better go now. See u at school" he said.

As I walked out Peters house, Selena was just about to ring the doorbell,
Her light brown hair was in a high ponytail and she was dressed in a grey tracksuit.
"O-oh hey Theo" she greeted but I just walked past her.

I glanced one last time at the now closed door
"You backstabbing bitch" I chuckled humourlessly to myself
