The Way My Life Sucks

Chapter 12

It was Saturday night and I was sitting on my bed in my room. i've been in here all day, contemplating whether or not to go to the Blue Moon. I want to make things right with Peter but I don't want to get hurt again. I think I'm in love with him. I know I barely talk to him or whatever but it was one of those 'love at first sight' kinda things. Just then my mom walks in, I sigh.

"Honey whats wrong you've been in here all day?" She sits down on the edge of my bed.

"Peter asked me to meet him at the Blue Moon tonight." I tell her.

"So what are you doing laying around for? You gotta get ready!"

"I'[m not going."

"Why not?" 

 "Because I don't want to get hurt again."

"But you like this boy, give him a chance." She pleads.

"I already did."

"Another one. I think it will work this time. Trust me."

I reluctantly agree and my mom helps me get ready. She curls my hair and puts on a little bit of make up. She gets a dark blue one shoulder dress from my closet and pairs it  with silver flats, a silver necklace, and a black leather jacket. I smile at  her and say, "Thanks mom." Then give her a hug.

"Anything for my little angel." She kisses my forehead. "Shall we go?' I nod. We get in the car and it takes not even 5 minutes to get to the restaurant. I get out he car and wave goodbye to my mom. She drives off. I walk inside and see Peter sitting at a table. I tell the hostess that I'm meeting him here and I walk over to him. He gelled his hair up nicely. He was wearing a suit but no tie. He looks really handsome.

"Hey..." I say when I reach the table.

"Hey." He replies and motions for me to sit down.

"Listen, Peter the only reason I came here was because my mom made me and -" I was cut off my Peter's lips on mine. They feel just as soft as a care-bears tummy, exactly like last time. He pulls away and I look at him shocked, unable to find the right words to speak.

"I love you, Jo." He finally says.

"But i thought you were spider man and blah blah blah." I say quietly.

"You are more important to me." I stare at him dumbfounded.

"I...I-i-i-i lo-lo-love yo-you too." I stutter.

"It's okay if you don't, Jo."

"No I really do I'm just shocked and happy is all."

"That's good that your happy...." He says. I continue to stare at his gorgeous face when he clears his throat. 

"Sorry." I say and blush.

"No its fine....Jo?'

"Yes?" 

"Will you be my girlfriend?"
