Perri and I- The sequel to romantic 'Perri and me' about Perri Kiely

Chapter 3 Part 3

That can't be Lucy- that has to be someone else...

Of course is it.

"Hi Amber!" Lucy exclaims, walking up to me and hugging me. I'm still quite startled, so is Perri, but Kim has this massive grin on her face.

"I haven't seen you in ages!" Lucy exclaims, letting go of me.

"I know right..." Kim says. "It's like you were dead or something."

Suddenly I want to shout but Perri does it for me.

"Thanks Lucy!" He says. "You had us all VERY worried!"

"What?" Lucy says, looking confused. "Oh I think you might have got my note."

"Its not funny!" I shout. "I thought you were dead. I told everyone you were dead. Freddie still thinks you're dead."

"Its fine," Lucy says. "He'll be better off without me anyway because I know he's always liked you!"

"Yeah, but you like...totally scared me..." I say, tears rolling down my cheeks.

"Oh sorry," Lucy says. "I didn't want to scare you, I was actually hoping you'd kill yourself."

I gasp.

"How can you even say something like that?" Perri says.

"Looks like I just did." Lucy replies.

I don't know why but this makes Kim snigger.

"Kim?" Mitch shouts. "This isn't funny!"

"Sorry, I just can't believe you actually thought she was dead..." Kim says, trying to contain her laughter.

"You're a very awful liar, you know?" I say, to Lucy.

Lucy just shrugs, which like, REALLY annoys me.

"I'm starting to wish you were dead!" I shout, pushing her.

She just scowls and pushes me back.

"Stop!" Perri says, but I completley ignore him.

"Every, single day, I feel like I'm insane, and it's because of you!" I say, continously pushing her now "Stop making me feel like I'm crazy, I don't need your crappy lies ruining my life, okay?"

I push her even harder now and she falls to the floor.

"Amber, seriously stop!" Perri says, looking worried now.

Of course I don't listen.

I pin Lucy down on the floor.

"If you want to waste YOUR life trying to ruin mine, then go ahead, but I will never ever kill myself because of you!"

With self pride, I get up and walk right into the studio.

Nobody's in there, so thinking about what I just did, I sit there and cry.

Why did I just do that? Why didn't I just pretend I never knew anyway?

Soon enough, Perri comes into the studio. I expect him to shout at me, but he sits down beside me.

"Is she okay?" I say, not bothering to look up at him.

"Amber what you did was really, really stupid" he says.

"I know."

He puts his arm around me.

"And what she tried to do to you was really stupid too," he continues.

"Pel I can't go to New York if she's coming, she's going to drive me absolutely mental."

"Amber, why are you letting her get to you?"
