We'll Go Down in History [Peterick]

Chapter 10 ~ You Wanted My Advice

Patrick's POV:

I slam the door shut behind me and run to the living room where Andy is.

"Do not let Pete anywhere near me." I say. Then run up the stairs to my room and lock it behind me again. I sit on the floor with my head in my hands. I start hearing Pete screaming for me. And for some reason it makes me cry.

I have no idea what is going on with me. I can barely comprehend what just happened. Pete told me he loved. Gosh, I feel like nothing has changed. We are confessing our love to each other and the other one rejects them. But this time I'm not the one being rejected.

That's when I notices the silence. Andy must have gotten control of Pete. I have no idea what to think.

All I know I'm sure of is that I'm in a relationship with Tyler and that Pete loves me. I used to have the same feelings. Or I have the same feelings still? Maybe. Do I?

I mean, it's Pete. He took up the majority of my past year in my brain. I thought I was better with Tyler. I love him. So much. But can my feelings compare to what I feel or felt for Pete?

No, I can't be thinking like this. If I start questioning then things will get complicated. And I refuse to deal with that.

I love Tyler and Pete is some guy that has a crush on me that will one day get over me. I should be used to it. I have tons of fangirls and fans that are the exact same. There is nothing different in this situation. Just that I personally know this person.

Yeah. Exactly. So there's nothing to worry about. But it is probably going to be awkward around Pete I think. Ugh, I don't know. For now I will just stay in my room and avoid Pete as much as I can.

I sound like such a horrible person. Crap.

~4 DAYS LATER~

Pete's POV:
I don't know how much longer I can do this. It's been 3 days since I've had a real conversation with Patrick. The only thing he's said to me was 'hi' and ran out the room. He hasn't been home lately. I don't know if he's been with Tyler or just leaving the house to avoid me.

I just want to talk to him.

"Hey. Wassup?" Joe says as he plops down on the couch next to me.

"Hi. Nothing much. Trying to make time pass." I say quietly

"Are you still thinking about the Patrick thing?" I nod my head "Don't worry Pete. Patrick just needs some time. He'll come around. If he doesn't talk to you in the next few days, try talking to him."

"I don't know if I can wait a few more days. This is torture and it's only 4 days! I just want to be with him."

"I'm sorry Pete. Is there anything I can do?" I shake my head. "Alright. But don't worry. Everything will be fine soon." He leaves to go do who knows what and I'm sitting by myself.

Alone with my thoughts. But I'm scared of them. I have to find something to do.

I go to my room, close my door and start playing music. Ironically the first song that comes on is What a Catch. So I just smile to myself a bit and listen to Patrick.

Patrick's POV:

I have been avoiding Pete for the past 4 days and I feel awful. Even though I try and avoid eye contact, when I do look at him, all I see is pain in his eyes. And then that brings me pain.

I don't know why I put myself through this torture if I obviously like him.

I've been hanging out with Tyler for the past few days but now he has to work so I thought it'd be best if I called up Brendon and talked to him.
