Falling for the boy with a black and white heart (rewrite)

life goes on

    It's been a year and a half now since Lucy's death. Life has returned to as normal as it could be without her. I feel I am coping with the loss of her better as time goes on. I visit her grave on her birthday, the anniversary of her death and at odd times that I just miss her.

A few things have changed. Like the fact that Peter and I are friends now. I may still dislike him at times, but we get along pretty well and I'm the only one who is allowed to call him Peter. He jokingly calls me sweet thang. I find it odd at times but I've gotten used to it. TK is suspicious of him, but we all get along alright.

Every few weeks a kid from my school goes missing, but none of them I really care about. I still feel empathy for their families. At first there were alot of missing cases from my school. Now there's only two a week or a month.

One day in English class. I was sitting next to Peter. He has his head down. I was drawing while everyone else finished a test. Peter whispers to me "hey want a soda or some chocolate?" I nod and he hands me my favorite soda and some milk chocolate. I took a bite of chocolate and Peter just watched. I looked at him and handed him some and he ate it revealing his sharky teeth. I chuckled and the teacher hit the desk with a ruler. We both looked at each other then at the teacher "y-y-yes?", I nervously stutter. The teacher glared down at us and then said "quiet please if I catch you one more time it's detention for both of you, understand." We both nod and go back to eating the chocolate and drinking soda until the bell rang.

I was about to leave when Peter said "Y/N, hey can I walk you to class since we go the same way?" I just nodded and we headed to our classes. I enter the library and he continues to science class. I helped the librarian clean and check out books since I was there and I was a library assistant helping until the bell rang.

I left the library and headed to lunch with Peter and TK. We ate lunch, chatted, and I even got cake from Peter. I really love his cooking. "Who do you think killed Lucy Y/N?" TK finally asked. TK just watched, sorry for what he just said as silent tears ran down my face and ruined my eyeliner.

Peter tries to comfort me as he glares at TK. "why would you even talk about her, we all cared about her. Especially Y/N!!!" Peter whisper yelled. TK just glared back "but I loved the woman!!!" TK whisper yelled back.

I was in so much shock from his statement, I stood up still crying and ran out of the cafeteria. I ended up hiding in the library office. I was lucky that no one found me there but a counselor. I cried in the counselor's office until the end of the day. My mom picked me up from school and lectured TK for what he did.

The next day I didn't go to school. After my mom left for work, I was left home alone, but then my phone rang. It was Peter. I answered sleepily to the video chat, my hair a hot mess "yes?", I asked. It took a minute before he spoke. "yo where are you? TK, just got here", he replied. I realized I hadn't called him to tell him what happened. "Well, I'm taking a mental day to cool off," I answered. He paused looking at me, before saying "oh ok understandable". I nodded and said "oh one more thing Peter '', his face turned noticeably red as I said his name, "thanks for trying to comfort me yesterday Peter." he nodded and we both hung up. I roll over and go back to sleep.

After a while I got up and ate some breakfast. I stayed in my room until my mom got home for lunch, but what I didn't expect was Peter showing up and bringing me lunch. My mom was being mushy and it reminded me of the way Lucy was. Before I knew it I was in my room crying, and Peter was knocking at my door. After I calmed myself a little, I let him in and he comforted me. He held me close, rubbing circles on my back.

After I fell asleep in his arms, my mom entered the room. She thanked Peter for coming and informed him that I wouldn't be going to school tomorrow either. I awaken as Peter leaves and TK enters my room. He apologizes to me and leaves.

I watched TV in my room until dinner. Thinking about how weird life was getting by the day and how it was kinda funny when you thought about it. When my mom called me for dinner, I walked downstairs. My mom came running to me when she saw the bags under my eyes "omg, you haven't been sleeping good Y/N, go eat, then go to bed.", she exclaimed. I just nodded and ate, then went to bed. The next morning was her day again.
