Best Kept Secret and Your Biggest Mistake (Peterick AU)

Chapter 25: This City

I felt really happy once I stepped out of the airplane. It's now been two years and I am once again back in my city. Breathing once again the fresh air of Chicago, the place where I was never suppose to leave in the first place.

Before I left I called the guys and told them I would be returning back to Chicago. Luckily they still had the same phone numbers and still wanted to be my friends. They said they would be here to pick me up, but this place is full I really can't find them.

"Patrick!" someone yelled.

I looked behind me. "Guys, your finally here."

"Yeah, traffic is terrible in this place" Brendon says.

"Lets get out of here it's way to crowded" Joe said.

We were out of the airport and on our way to Joe's house.

"So how were things, while I was gone?"

"Eh, After you left the whole school went crazy after they found out about what happened between you and Wentz. It when on for quite sometime before we finally graduated" Spencer says.

"Glad I wasn't here for that, but I would have loved to graduate with you guys."

"Yeah, it really didn't seem much of a graduation. Anyway how was France?" Brendon asked.

"It was alright, I loved the views the language... But it just isn't like Chicago."

"You got that right... And we are home" Joe says as he steps out of the car.

We went inside it was small cozy apartment. Good enough for the time being. "Thanks again Joe for letting me stay here for a while."

"No problem, dude mi casa es su casa, or how ever you say it."

I chuckled. "Learning Spanish?"

He shrugged. "I might be, but I guess the language isn't really for me" he says sitting on the couch.

"That reminds me, your mom has been calling me non stop she wanted to know if you are here in Chicago and if you were she wanted to talk to you"

"Ah, I through everything was said before I left. I told her if I come back to Chicago I didn't want anything to do with her."

"She still your mom Trick. Besides it kinda our fault since we went to go see her a couple times." Brendon says.

"Wait, why did you guys visit her?"

"Someone wanted to know certain things about you that only your mom could know, but you rarely spoke to your mom so she knew a little" Joe said.

"Who? Who wanted to know about me" I asked confused.

"Who do you think... Pete" Spencer says.

"Pete, what do you guys know about Pete?!"

"Aww, look at his face it's like a kid on Christmas" Brendon laughed.

"Stop that. And PLEASE tell me about Pete."

"Well we went to visit him a few months back-"

"You did, how is he?"

"He's fine Patrick, he does look like he hasn't sleep in months through, but his face still looked intact so he hasn't got onto any fights."

"I really need to see him, talk to him... I need to do something to get at least one visit."

"Well why don't you just ask Dallon to help you. He visits Pete daily if anything he can tell you so much more about him then we can" Spencer says.

"Yes, Dallon... Do you guys have his number or something?" I asked.

"Yeah here, I have his phone number on my phone" Brendon says.

"Thanks" I said ad he hands it to me.

"Hey why do you have Dallon's number?" Spencer asked him. Brendon just shrugged.

Since I'm back in Chicago I need to find a way to communicate with Pete no matter what happens.
