The Little Sister (Book 1)

Slowly Loosing My Sanity.

Pete's P.O.V.

(Because fuck you, I haven't changed the POV since.... Well, ever. Deal with it.)

After I stormed out of Skylar's house, I immediatley regreted my decision.

"Goddamnit. I'm a fucking idiot." I huffed, sitting on the sidewalk and placing my head in my hands.

I should have made it better. I should have held her and told her I'm sorry, but I just have to be this way. I have to be a dick and make everything worse. And after what happened with Patrick and all, fuck. I have to go back.

I stood up and bit turned around. I started to run as fast as I could in the direction of Skylar's house.

It only took me about 5 minutes to get there, as I wasn't that far.

I burst through the door and took a left, running down the hall and slamming myself into her bedroom door.

"Auh, fuck!" I screamed, holding my shoulder.

I collected myself and opened the door softly.

"What are you doing here?" Skylar spat.

Yep. She's stiil mad at me. And rightly so.

"Look, Skylar. I'm sorry. I fucked up, and I made it so much more worse than it should have been. I'm sorry. I love you." I said really quickly.

"I'm sorry too. But that hurt, Pete. It really did." Skylar replied softly.

I went over to Skylar and hugged her tightly.

"Seeing you cry hurt me... It just hurt me so much." I whisper.

"This doesn't mean I forgive you." She said dryly.

"W-What?" I said, pulling away, dumbfounded.

"I.. I can't see how I could forgive you..." She sighed.

"Skylar... I... I just.." I stuttered.

Not now Pete, no, don't you fucking do it!

I sniffled and turned my head to the side.

"Pete... Are you.. Crying?" Skylar said, sounding concerned.

"No, I just..." I said, lifting my head up to Skylar's face.

Skylar put her hands on my shoulders and looked into my eyes.

Her eyes started welling up with tears as well.

I felt tears falling down my face as I cupped Skylar's cheek in my right hand.

I leaned in closer and lost control.

I kissed her.

To my surprise, Skylar kissed back, and started running her hands through my hair.

I was really getting into it, and I leaned into her, making her lean back and lay down on the bed.

I rested my hand on her thigh and my other hand in her hair.

Skylar pushed up on my chest, pushing me away from her.

"I'm sorry, I just... I don't know if I can do this..." She said softly.

"Skylar Anne Stump, I love you." I said, looking into her eyes.

"How do I know you really love me?" She whimpered.

I smirked and moved closer to her.

She looked to the side with pain in her eyes.

Oh, what did I do?

"How.. How could I fix this?" I panicked.

Skylar closed her eyes softly.

"Skylar, I love you. I will do anything to prove it." I stuttered, my eyes welling up again.

"You don't have to." She whispered.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I love you too much to just throw it all away over a little incident." She sighed.

"It wasn't just a little incident, though." I said softly.

"Well, you're right, but it could have been worse." Skylar sniffled.

I smiled and hugged her.

"Things aren't going to be able to go back to how they were, you know." She sighed.

I nodded and bit my lip, still holding her tight.

Later that evening, I was sitting on the couch watching Wizards of Waverly Place (Fuck you.) while Skylar was in the kitchen making popcorn. We were planning on watching Star Trek tonight in hopes of forgeting all that had happened over the past few days.

Skylar walked over to me and handed me the bowl of popcorn. She sat down next to me and turned on Netflix.

"I was watching that!" I joked.

"Well, now you're not." Skylar sighed and rested her head on my chest.

I smiled at put my arm around her as she searched for Star Trek.

We sat in silence for the first 15 minutes or so.

Then Skylar spoke up.

"Pete, I think we should... Take a break." She whimpered.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I mean that I think we should spend some time apart. I don't want to say 'See other people' because I doubt that I'm going to be putting myself on the market. I'm just saying that after what has happened and all, I feel like we should take some time apart from eachother. Is thar okay?" She told me.

I was a bit thrown back at her response.

"Well, yeah, of course it's okay. I just... I just want to make you happy. Would we still be able to talk to eachother?" I ask, scratching the back of my neck.

Skylar stood up and gave me a hug.

"I still love you." She whispered.

"I still love you too." I hummed, hugging her back.

She released and I stood up, gave her a kiss on the cheek, then grabbed my phone and walked out the door.

Wow.

This is gonna hurt.

A lot.
