"So where do you think Pete went? He better not get into trouble." I wanted to cry, but I held back tears. Patrick put his arm around me. "Probably to Meagans. He'll be fine." I smiled slightly and said "I hope" in my head.

I put on a movie and laid on Patricks chest until I drifted into light sleep. When I woke up, Patricks fedora was on the ground and he was sound asleep. He was so cute. I gently got up and grabbed a pillow and a blanket. I put the pillow under his head and put the blanket on him. I set his fedora down on the table.

I checked my phone. There were a couple social media notifications and a text from Pete.

p: you and Patrick aren't over. I saw you and him cuddled up on the couch. I can't believe you.

I went outside and called Pete. He picked up after the first ring. "What do you want?" His tone was harsh. "Pete, that wasn't what it looked like. We were watching a movie and I fell asleep next to Patrick. Nothing happened. He was just trying to comfort me."

"Sure. I'm going to be staying at my house for a while. I'll get my stuff tomorrow." I started to cry. "Babe no please come back. THERE ISNT ANYTHING BETWEEN ME AND PATRICK ANYMORE! God! You make me so fucking angry!" I hung up before he could say anything.

"Ow!" Patrick yelped as he hit his leg off of the metal table. I turned around. "Be careful, Pattycakes!" He laughed and hopped over to me. I was sitting by the edge of the pool. "I'm guessing you heard that." He nodded his head and walked towards me.

"Pete can be stubborn sometimes. Just let him cool off. He'll be better in the morning." Patrick sounded hopeful. "He said he was going to stay with Meagan and that he was going to get his stuff tomorrow." I started to cry again.

"No no don't cry. It's going to be okay. He can't stay mad at us forever." I stood up and hugged him. "You always know just what to say." He smiled. "I do."

We went back into the house. I heard his stomach growl. I laughed and said "You hungry? I said I would get food. I could make you something, if you'd like." Patrick smiled. "Let's go grab something." I put on my leather jacket and slipped into my oxfords.

Patrick drove to a little sandwich shop which he claimed was "the best in LA". He wasn't wrong. We both got club sandwiches and sat in a booth in the back.

We sat in silence for a while, just chewing on our food and checking our phones.

"Thank you Pattycakes." I said while taking a bite of my sandwich. He smiled. "Anything for you." He finished up his sandwich. "Oh I just remember some girl named Kaley called me about uh being her dominant."

"I thought you might want a new partner so I gave her your number. Let's just say she's very experienced." He laughed. I swallowed the last bite of my sandwich. Patrick thanked the owner of the shop as we walked to his car.

We drove past a dinky bar. I noticed a SUV that was familiar. It was all blacked out like Petes. "Patty go back to that bar." He gave me a confused look but did what I said.

He parked the car and asked me why we were here. "I think I saw Pete's car. Maybe he's in here." Patrick opened his mouth to say something but didn't. "Let's go in." I got out of the car and he followed me.

It was really dark and gross in there. It smelled like cigarettes and sweat. I scanned the room. It mostly had old biker men and slutty looking girls. Patrick tapped my shoulder and pointed to the corner of the bar.

I squinted my eyes. I saw a blonde man making out with a red headed girl. I stormed over to him and ripped him off the girl. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING PETE?!" He look dazed.

"Oh shut the hell up and go fuck Patrick again, you little slut." I lost it. I smacked him in the face and punched the girl in the jaw. Patrick ran over to us. "Pete come on. I think it's time to go." Pete waved him off.

"No. I want to stay with this beautiful girl, Lexi. We were having a great time." He was drunk off his ass. "Whatever Pat. Let him stay here and get an STD." I grabbed Patricks arm and pulled him through the crowd toward the entrance.

We sat in silence on the way back. When we got in, Patrick said he was tired. I showed him to his room and gave him a pair of Petes gym shorts. "Goodnight Pattycakes. I love you." He blew a kiss and I closed the door.

I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. Then I headed back to my room and tried to sleep. But he was on my mind. Pete. I kept seeing him kissing that Lexi bitch. It replayed in my head over and over.

Eventually, I fell asleep. Not for long though. At around 2-ish, I heard someone come in. I threw on a big t-shirt and went downstairs. I probably should've made Patrick go see who it was but I already knew it was Pete.

I crept down the stairs and saw him stumbling around. "Peter! What are you doing?" He faced me. "I'm tired." He slumped against the wall, closing his eyes. "Then lets go to bed." I walked over to him and put his arm around my shoulder.

He smelled so bad. "Did someone throw up on you?" "Maybe. I don't remember." I led him to his room and set him on his bed. "You need to change, okay?" He burped. I laughed and picked up a clean shirt.

I started pulling up his sweater. It was rather hard though because he just sat there. "Put your arms up." I said, laughing. He lifted them and the sweater moved over his head. I grabbed the clean shirt and put his head through it. "So what happened tonight? Why'd you make out with that girl?" He slid his arms through the shirt.

"I don't know what was wrong with me, Ash. I got really mad and pissed so I wanted to drink all the anger away." He put his hands to his face and started to cry. "Sorry." His voice cracked.

I moved his hands and kissed him. "I'm sorry. I told you a lot tonight." I started to cry now. "I love you Ashlyn. That girl means nothing. Kissing her was a mistake." He looked me in the eye now. "I love you too Peter. We should just forget about everything that happened tonight and sleep." He smiled and pulled me into his bed.

He put his head on my chest while I laid against the headboard. I played with his short blonde hair while he rubbed my side. Which only lasted for about 2 minutes for he fell asleep. I kissed his forehead and wiggled out from under him. I placed his head on a pillow and laid next to him under the covers.

I watched him sleep. I'm not trying to sound creepy but he looked so beautiful. So relaxed and calm. I closed my eyes and fell asleep next to my favorite person in the world. Pete.
