I slept for another four hours and woke up around 6:00, just in time for dinner. I was allowed out of the hospital now and Peter took me to a nice restaurant for dinner. We walked into the building and I was in awe. The floor was as glossy as Peter's eyes when he first asked me to dance the night of senior prom.

"Do you like it?" Peter asks, flashing me a smile and then looking shyly down to the ground. Somehow he was charming and adorably shy at the same time.

"It's absolutely wonderful," I tell him planting a tiny kiss on his cheek. He smiles and me and takes my hand, guiding me to the front of the dining.

"Hello and welcome to Bashan. Name please?" a tall and dark haired waiter asked us. He was even taller than Peter which I didn't think was possible.

"Reservation for Kitch," he says. The waiter begins looking through his book and stops and points to a name.

"Of course sir, right this way." He guides us through the wonderfully lit dining room, but passes all of the tables. We go up a flight of stairs marked as restricted. Before us, appears a beautifully lit table on a balcony wrapped in flowers.

"Peter," I whimper, speechless. "I don't know what to say. This is just, amazing." I start to tear up.

"This is because I love you Mari," he recites. By now the waiter has left and Peter pulls out my chair for me. I sit down and he goes to the other side of the table to take his seat. He looks at me, just staring at me.

"Why are you staring at me?" I ask him, looking away shyly.

"Because you're beautiful," he says. He looks into my eyes and I look back into his. I missed his eyes and charming smile more than I thought.

"Did we just pull off a "Fault In Our Stars" moment?" I ask, laughing to myself.

"I think we did Mari," he chuckles. "We just pulled off the Augustus Waters and Hazel Grace Lancaster vibes."

"Let's order some food," I suggest. "I'm literally starving." I am not the girl who eats her feelings nor am I the girl who eats a salad a day. I like food and food is good. Easy as that.

I pick up the laminated menu and scan the subtitles until I find what I'm in the mood for. 'Pasta' I think to myself.

We order our delicious meals and finish them alarmingly quick. "I need to use the restroom," Peter says getting up to leave. I kind of need to go as well, so after about a minute I follow him. I walk over to the washroom to use to toilet and fix my hair. I walk back towards the door until I suddenly hear Peter's voice.

He's talking on the phone to someone and I hear Peter's side of the conversation. "Yeah man, she totally bought it. All it took was Ariana Grande and she took me back. Might as well just get famous, then dump her. She's barely worth my time, but the one key factor for me to get my channel famous. See you later dude, bye." He hangs up the phone and walks away like nothing even happened. But boy, was I gonna get him back.

The ride home is normal because I pretend like nothing happened and I was still madly in love with him. But we had a falling out and he didnt even know it. I cant believe I left Anthony for a guy who cheated on me! Youŕe so stupid Mari! I think to myself feeling the tears starting to roll in. But I quickly wipe them away. Peter can't know about any of this. He can't.

¨Did you like the dinner?¨ he asks me with a wide grin.

¨It was wonderful," I respond, cheery eyed and with a shy smile. I never knew I was this good an actress. Wow.

¨I'm glad you liked it,¨ he says. ¨I wanted something special for you since I just got you back. And I love you so much that I wanted something beyond perfection. Just like you.¨ I flash him a smile and return my gaze to the moving scenery outside the window. All I could think about was this tumblr post I saw a while back of Rihanna captioned ¨when you know someone is lying.¨ He's really good at pretending he loves me. It doesn't bother me because I'm just as good.

The ride back still takes another fifteen minutes. I'm sure that Ian and Anthony are still at the studio so I ask Peter to drop me off there.

We reach the parking lot to the Smosh Games office and as I'm getting out of the car Peter mutters something.

¨Huh?¨ I ask, curious to know what it was that he said so discretely.

¨If Anthony gives you a hard time about us, or talks any smack, I give you full permission to punch him square in the face.¨ He laughs to himself.

I nod as if I understood and agreed. 'What a rude thing to say' I think to myself. He thinks he has to give me permission to do things, let alone punch my best friend.

I walk towards the building, dreading the work I have to get done. I can see Anthony in the window and I can feel the tears starting to fall. I see Ian in the front entrance and rush over to him. He looks at me, and I can tell he can't help but hug me. Even though I made the worst decision of my life and dumped my favorite guy in the world.

"Mari," Ian asks, almost yelling over the sound of my sobbing. "What happened?"

"I'm so so sorry to everyone in my life for having to live with someone as idiotic and stupid as me. I left Anthony and it was the worst decision I ever made and I'm so stupid for going with Peter because I overheard a phone conversation with him and his friend and he said he wanted to use me to get famous and then dump me. And now Anthony probably won't take me back or even be my friend again and I just don't know what to do." I look at him and he's in tears too. "Why are you crying?"
