Neighbors

Chapter 9//I'm Yours

"Arden, I love you. I thought it over and I was insanely stupid to get drunk last night. I remember promising you I wouldn't. I broke a promise, a promise that could've made me safe."

I take a sip of my latte and stare at him. "You're the first thing I think about when I wake up, and the last thing I think about when I go to sleep. Heck, I even dream about you Arden.".

My eyes starting to tear up a little, I stand up and put my hand out. He grabs my hand and we hold hands walking out. I take him to the woods behind my house.

I have a special rock there that I go to everyday. I sit him down and sit next to him. I push his face to face me. I push my lips against his, instantly kissing him. "I missed these." He mumbles. I bite my lip. "I regretted saying that when you left.".

I put my head on his shoulder and we look at the stars. I woke up in my bed. I must have fallen asleep. Sadly, it was Monday. I got up from my bed and put on my clothes.

I quickly ate breakfast and walked out the door to the bus stop. Pete wasn't there and I got concerned. He promised he would be there. Pete wasn't at school either. At lunch, Anya asked me about last night.

"Well, we made out," Anya's mouth dropped. She hugged me after, "YES! I knew I could get you two back together." She smirked. I hugged her tight after. "You are a great person." I laugh. She takes her donut and puts it over her head as if the donut was a halo.

"Have you seen Pete?" Patrick asks placing his tray on the table. I shake my head no. After school I get a text from Pete:
"Hey babe, meet me at the lake?".
I replay with a yes and walk over to the nearest lake.

I see Pete and chant, "hey loser! Why did you ditch school." He smiles and motions for me to come over. When I reach him he pulls me into a kiss. "So what do you want?" I say with my arms around his neck, looking at his lips.

"I still feel sorry about the party, so I want to make it up to you." He smiles. I was confused, he hands me an invitation;

Party At Pete's
9:30-whenever it ends
byob

"And I promise I will not get drunk." I smile and hug him. "Is is-", Pete cuts me off "yes it's tonight, so I wanted to give you this.".

Pete hands me a wrapped box, I stare at it. "Well.. You gonna open it?" Pete asks, hands in his pocket and has the smirk on this face. I rip open the box to see a beautiful outfit, perfect for a casual party.

"I got a job at hot topic so I got you this." He tells me, I kiss him. Before the party, put on the shirt and beanie. I out earrings in my first and second ear hole. I drove over to Pete's, everyone was already here.
