If I Remember You

Peter

"She was flirting with me right?" I asked her excitedly after we left lunch with Ned and MJ.

"She was definitely doing something " Isa agrees with me as I smiled happily.

"I think I'm getting them back Isa. I can feel it in my gut" I tell her as she gives me a half-smile.

Her eyes were a little dim. "You okay?" I asked her softly as I noticed her mood was off.

"Yeah I'm fine. Just a lot going on" She reminds me as I nod my head.

"Right. Yes. Other timeline" I recall as she mumbles a "yes" with a small frown.

"My friend says it usually take around 3-5 days for the DNA test to come back. He'll try and get it to me as soon as possible" she adds as we drive around in comfortable silence.

"What happens if I'm right Peter?" She asks me all of a sudden looking over at me as I sigh.

"About Wanda?" I follow up as she nods. "It'd be crazy" I mumbled looking at her as she plastered an unamused expression.

"You'd be her freaking daughter that's wild" I added as she bites her lip before pulling into her driveway.

"You think I want to be right Peter? I'm friends with Wanda. So, you really think I want to be friends with the mother who abandoned me?" She snaps at me with a demanding glare.

"So, yes, I know that it would be crazy" She concludes leaning her head desperately in the driver's wheel.

"It will be fine. We will figure it out" I assured leaning my hand over to rub her back but she flinches away before I got a chance to.

"Just stop Peter. Focus on getting your friends back" She snaps at me swinging her car door open and slamming it with equal intensity.

I follow after while calling her name before Davina's car pulled into the drive way.

She pulled her window down "You two fighting again. I thought you made up yesterday" she declares as I furrow my eyebrows together.

"You went to her room and never came out" Wanda added with a teasing smile from the passenger's seat as Davina nods.

"We're fine. No one is fighting" I reassured them as I turn around to walk back inside.

"Isa!" I called out jogging upstairs towards her room.

I tried the door but it was locked.

"Open the door. Let's talk" I asked her softly. "Please" I added pleadingly.

"Peter I just need to be myself. Okay?" She says from the other side of the door.

"Ok. I'll be here when you're read to talk" I tell her softly as I walk towards my room.

Wanda was already waiting for me.

"So are you gonna tell me what's happening between you two? Or am I gonna have to read your mind?" Wanda taunts she looks at me and then down the hall to Isa's room.

"You don't need to read my mind. I'll tell you" I lied smoothly as I come to sit next to her.

"So what happened?" she asks softly looking towards me with gentle eyes.

"She's just having a hard time with my friends" I lied to her as she nods.

"Yeah she told me something about that the other day but I didn't want to push too much" She replies as I gave her puzzled look.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I couldn't tell you. She confided in me. But I'm glad she talked to you about that. It was really bugging her" Wanda furthers as I nod trying to conceal my reaction.

" You just gotta be patient with her you know? You're getting your friends back and she might feel like you don't need her anymore" Wanda adds after a long silence.

"We're working through it" I lied as she smiles at me.

"I'm really glad to hear that." Wanda tells me as she stands up.

"And don't tell her I told you this but I think she might have a slight crush on you." She whispers more discreetly now as my eyes widen involuntarily.

"Oh don't act so surprise Peter. It's pretty obvious. Even I didn't need to read her mind to figure it out" Wanda chuckles standing on her feet.

"Don't tell her I told you" Wanda replies sternly pointing a finger at me.

"I won't" I assured her as she walks out my room closing the door behind her.

"She doesn't have a crush on me" I chuckle to myself shaking my head in denial.

"She can't have a crush me" I say again to convince myself of Wanda's speculation.

"I mean I know Isa and I have gotten close but not in that way" I add pacing around my room.

"Plus, we talked about how nice it was to have a brother/sister relationship" I mumble to myself thinking back to our trip to New Zealand.

"So, no, Isabel doesn't like in that way" I conclude shaking my head from side to side to shake off all those thoughts.

"Why would she help me get MJ back if she liked me?" I torment myself yet again.

"Stop Peter. Stop" I sigh straightening my posture.

"Isa does not like you" I tell myself one more time as I walked out of my door and down the hall.

"Hey Isa?" I called out and she shuffles from the other side of the door.

"It's only been 10 minutes Peter. Go away" She declares as I roll my eyes.

"I'm going out with MJ" I lied to test Wanda's rumor. "You are?" She asked in apparent shock.

"Well-I'm-I'm thinking about it" I tell her as I wait a few seconds for her reply.

"Do it" She encourages in a normal tone.

"You think so?" I asked her as she sighs irritably. "Peter. I can't carry the relationship for you. Figure it out" She snaps as she walks away from the door cuing she was done with the conversation.

Was that jealousy?

"Ok" I mumble walking down the stairs with a thousand questions running through my mind.

So  my genius plan didn't help at all...
