✨Jeremy sumpter & y/n✨

Chapter 13 - lost but found

i have been very inconsistent i'm sorry 😪 but yeah enjoy :))

(Pete's POV)

i fumbled in my pocket for my phone and clicked on her contact.

...

"voicemail" i said looking up at james
"shit" he said sighing.
"what do we do?" i asked gripping the phone tightly in my hand.

"i don't know, uh call her mom?" he said "you have her number right?"
"no... but we can go to her house she might also be there?"

we ran all the way to y/n's house only to find she was not there.

"you lost my daughter?!"
"well mrs y/l/n, we.."
james began.
before her dad appeared from behind

"it's dark out there. if something has happened to my daughter i want you to understand you are completely held responsible!"

there was a moment of silence while james and i realised what we might have just done
"let's go." her dad muttered while grabbing his raincoat and heading out the door.

we searched at the park. we asked the shop if she had been there. we looked on the pier. we looked back at the bowling place. all the while yelling hoping she would hear. i felt a warm tear escape out my eye. i almost gave up...
"wait, follow me!" i yelled to everyone running off.

y/n's POV:

it was foggy when i opened my eyes but i could hear my name being called. i felt frozen in position and couldn't think straight. suddenly a warm hand grabbed my arm and my instincts kicked in i tried to wriggle away, thinking i was being kidnapped.
"leave me alone!" i whispered lacking the energy to save myself. but i kept struggling to get away.

"hey, hey, y/n. it's me it's me" i hear someone whisper as they picked me up.
"it's dad. it's okay. it's all alright now"
my body relaxed
"dad?" i whispered back tears welling up.
"where's Pete?"
"Pete's just here."
"i'm sorry dad" i said burying my face in his shoulder.
"it's my fault" i weeped

"no!" he said firmly, "it is not your fault"
i smiled the tears still streaming
i could feel other hands on my face but my eyes were red and swollen from crying and the cold. they were too misty for me to see properly

"we're gonna go home okay honey?" i heard my dad say as he carried me somewhere.

i must have fallen asleep because i woke up the next morning in my bed. my nose burned and when i looked in the mirror i saw that my eyes and nose were a pinky red colour. i turned around to see (now that i had regained some sight) that Pete had slept kneeling next to my bed his head resting gently on the mattress. i smiled slightly and he flipped his head over. i sighed and somehow that caused him to wake up.

"y/n?" he said sleepily "are you okay"

suddenly all at once a flash of what happened last night all came flooding back to me. i remembered Pete promising he wouldn't hurt me and yet there i was lying on the cold floor crying

"Pete i think it would be better if you left." i said my voice shaking.

"what?" he said softly, squinting his eyes as they adjusted to the light.

"i said you should leave Pete." i said not looking him in the eye.

"it's better for both of us at the moment."

but Pete stood up
"y/n you gotta understand i was being stupid and i'm so sorry i really am. i was jealous y/n james was better than me and all i wanted to show to you was that i was better. and i obviously showed that i'm not."
he took a moment to look down  and then stared back up into my eyes.

"please, please, please, please, forgive me"

i took a shaky breath and turned away. not able to look into his shiny eyes.
i heard him sniff and then felt him kiss me on the back of my head.

i listened as his footsteps left my room and downstairs. a big part of me wanted to call after him and rush into his arms but my legs wouldn't move.

i sulked onto my bed and lay on my back looking at the ceiling i heard Kirby's paws pad over to my bed and he jumped up and lay next to me, resting his head on my shoulder.

"what should i do Kirby?"  i asked him expecting a grumble of a response.

"you go and you talk to him" i shot up

"mike?".

"look y/n we all make mistakes okay. and yes recently Pete has made a few more that the average guy. but he stayed with you all night to make sure you were okay."  mike continued

"he texted me saying to buy chocolates so he could give them to you. he spent a lot of the night planning how you two could make bead necklaces together."

"oh and you know when he told me to tell you something by the window and you didn't hear..?"

i nodded.

"he said that he knew you would become the most important person in his life. and that was not even a week after you two had met." mike stood in silence waiting for what i was going to say about his whole speech.

"mike i-"

"you don't have to say anything now but you gotta listen to what i just said and consider how much he really cares about you."

i stood speechless unknown of what to say. i love Pete but i didn't know what to do. all the things he has done to me in the past couldn't just be forgotten, no matter how much i wanted to. it's was always at the back of my mind.

'what if it happens again'

as i stood mike looked at me waiting for an answer.

"mike i don't know. i just need some time to think about it."

he sighed. but nodded his head
"i understand. pete said he loves you"

i smiled and looked out the window, to see pete waiting anxiously.
