Entirely Different Person [PETER]

Chapter 14 - All Of Me For You.

My eyes flutter open, I reach to my side as I feel pillows and blankets, no Peter. I jumped up, frantically looking around for him. I hear a familiar voice humming in the kitchen. I jump to my feet while I trudge downstairs.

Downstairs, I smell something cooking, and it smells good. Mighty fine if I do say so myself. I see Peter in an apron and some sweatpants. I believe he overheard me coming down because he quickly turned his neck to look at me.

"Good morning, my love! How did you sleep?" He smiled at me with such glee. I sat down at the table. "Good, until I panicked when I saw you weren't next to me!" He scratches the back of his head. "My bad! I just wanted to wake you up with some breakfast in bed, but perhaps I took too long..." I chuckle. "No, you didn't. I've just always woken up early. It's something I've always done. Even when I was a kid." He widens his eyes.

"Good to know, maybe I'll wake up earlier next time."

I grin, not knowing what to say. I had realized I was in such a rush to see Peter, I didn't brush my teeth. "Oh! Please excuse me, I haven't brushed my teeth yet! Let me go do that. Give me a second." I got up quickly and went to the bathroom.

I go to the bathroom, remembering I didn't unpack my toothbrush. But to my surprise, it's already in the bathroom. That means Peter must've put it there. I wonder when he had the time to do that since we've always been by each other's sides since I got here. I'll be sure to ask him about it later. I brush my teeth quickly and wash my face, feeling refreshed. I head back downstairs, and Peter's already finished making breakfast.

"You're so sweet." I smile at him. His face turns beet red. "Thanks, I try. But only for you!" He reassures me. I sit down and see what he's made for me.2 Stacks of pancakes with a strawberry on top. "Strawberries remind me of you for some reason. I don't know why..." He mumbles his words a bit. I giggle. "I love you. Thank you." He seems startled by what I had said. "Oh... I love you too, Y/N!" He grins widely.

After eating and chatting a bit, Peter takes my dish and says, "Come on, get ready, we're about to go to an amusement park."

I fly to my feet after that sentence. "Oh my gosh, okay!!!"

A few thoughts fly through my head as I'm looking for clothes. I've never really had a childhood. So I guess that's why I've always liked child-like things. I never really lived it fully. And the way Peter's giving me a chance to, really makes me happy. I'm not saying amusement parks aren't for adults as well, but in this sense, I'm living my childhood and I'm happy with that.

The time that I'm done getting ready, It's 11:23 AM. I think that's a good time. I head downstairs to go see Peter. "Ready?" He swings his keys. "Yeah! Let's go."
We jam out in the car on the highway, which... is scary if you don't know the person you're driving with. But I don't have to worry about that problem because Peter is a very good driver. I remember the first time he drove me somewhere. To a picnic. I was very scared, but I realized he knows what he's doing.
As he gets out of the car, he grabs my hand and helps me out. "Cuties, first." My face warms up and I give him a kiss on the cheek.

When we arrive at the first gates and stuff to get in, Peter allows me to stay behind while he gets tickets. I feel like a little child. I look around the park. Big roller coasters and ferris wheels. I suddenly get this really good feeling, something I've been feeling a lot since I met Peter. He brings out the best in me. He always has. And he always knows how to catch me by surprise. It's like he knows everything about me. It makes me so happy. But on the other hand, I feel like someone's always watching me. Watching my every move. But I'm just paranoid. I've always been like that. Ever since I was little.

Peter comes back within 5 minutes, tickets in hand. I squeal in joy. "Look what I-" Before he finishes, I frantically jump in his arms. "Someone's happy." His eyes, gleaming with joy. To see his reaction while I was happy was so nice. I decided to give him a big ol' smooch, and he turned bright red.

I feel as though time flew when we were in the park. Me and Peter were on a roller coaster, but looking back on it, I'm pretty sure I was spacing out. I felt like it was too good to be true. to find someone who loved me for who I am. No masking, no anything. I didn't even have to give that much for it. I feel like I'll finally be happy with my life.

Peter's screams were cute, considering I've never heard him scream. But I then realized his screams were not only for the roller coaster.

"PETER!"
