I walked home to get ready for the movie, it was cold already and it was going to be dark out so it didn't help. I walked inside to change out of Masons pajamas. I left my shoes at the door and walked upstairs. Just as I entered my room I heard the doorbell I went to my window and looked to see who was at the door. I saw the familiar figure of Sarah waiting patiently. I stomped downstairs and answered the door. "Hey" I said tiredly "Hi! tonight going to be so much fun!" She beamed walking up to my room. "Yeah, come on in don't be shy. I was just about to take a shower and get ready, sorry if I'm boring I just got home, I slept over at Masons house..." my voice was interrupted by a yawn. "OH?" she winked obviously. It took me a minute to realize what she was implying. "NO" I said, my eyes wrote building out of my head and my cheeks were scarlet. "WE. WERE. BABYSITTING." I said loud enough to wake the neighbors. Sarah couldn't stop laughing and I was getting redder by the second. "uh um I'm going to get a shower now."
I awkwardly ran to the bathroom and started the shower pulling off Masons tee shirt and sweatpants. He wasn't getting these back. I let the warm water wash away all of my thoughts of Peter. I left the bathroom in Masons pajamas and realized I left my clothes at his house. I tested him asking to bring them tonight and he obliged. Sarah was laying on my bed dressed in one of my view sweaters that was now too small for me, "hey, can I borrow this? It looks SO cute on me!" I shot her a strange look and she shot back a nervous smile, "yeah sure, keep it, doesn't fit anyway" she smiled and squealed, I started laughing at her and she joined. If you're wondering, the sweater was black with two white unicorns in the middle. She happily pulled out a pair of floral print skinny jeans and a brown belt out, along with a brown leather jacket. "where's the shirt?" I asked suddenly very confused. "Well why don't you just wear that shirt, it looks adorable on you!" I smiled and pulled on the outfit she picked. I checked my reflection and smiled. I looked good.
We still had a few hours before we had to leave so I turned on some music and we layed down in my bed. "So." Sarah said turning to me, "what are you thinking about." I realized I'd been staring at the ceiling motionless for the past few minutes. "oh, um just stuff." I said nervously fiddling with my thumbs. "tell me" she prodded and I sat up looking her in the eye. "You have to pinkie swear never to tell another living soul ever in your lifetime or may all of your shoes be burned to ashes." her face went from amused to serious in a matter of seconds.
*PETER'S P.O.V.*
I had just finished my shower and walked out of the bathroom quietly, Caroline had Sarah over and I didn't want to disturb them. To my surprise her door was cracked open slightly and I could hear their conversation. Time to go creep mode. I stood slightly away from the door so they couldn't see me and pressed my ear against the wall. I heard Caroline's voice shaky and unsure, "I haven't ever told this too anyone and I'm really scared that If I say it out loud, it'll be true. Okay." She took a deep breath and continued her voice quieter than before.
"I think I might.....be in love with" mason "Peter." what. My heart skipped a beat and my hands felt clammy. my stomach was full of butterflies and I felt like my legs would give at any second. She loves me. I could hear them talking more but all I could hear over and over in my head was her, saying she loved me. Love. I've always loved her. The only reason I'm dating Taylor is to try to get over Caroline. I can't believe it. I tiptoe to my room and get dressed. She loves me. I looked in the mirror and saw myself. This is me, the man she loves. But she came home wearing his pajamas. She's still wearing his shirt. She loves me though. What am I supposed to do with that, she's with Mason.
The hours passed slowly, and finally it was time to go. I walked to Caroline 's room and knocked politely. She answered the door laughing hysterically and I told her it was time to go. Sarah left the room and walked downstairs leaving Caroline and I alone. I stepped into the room and closed the door behind me. "Can I talk with you about something?" I asked and she looked at me for a brief second before returning to looking for her purse. "sure, what's on your mind?" how am I supposed to say I''ve loved you forever and I still do. "I'm, I don't really know how to say this. I don't want it to change anything so just promise it won't." She stood up and looked at me with a serious expression. "I SWEAR it won't change anything." She seemed so serious. "I'm not sure how to put this so I'm just going to say it." I told her squeezing my eyes shut. "Okay go ahe--" I interrupted her by smashing my lips into hers. She didn't pull away. SHE DIDN'T PULL AWAY. As I kissed her and she put one arm around my neck and started to play with my hair, she rested the other hand softly on my cheek. I snaked my arms around her waist pulling her closer. I felt the butterflies in my stomach and I couldn't help but smile. I pulled away and kissed her forehead. She is the girl of my dreams,I just kissed they girl of my dreams.
