Balthazar's P.o.V.

"You're not even shocked that he was also dating a girl?" Chelsea asked.
"No, honestly he seemed like the kind of guy who would just date anyone who catches his eye," I say.
"But come on, not even a little a shock?"
"Chelsea not the point!" I yell unexpectedly. "This guy that I really liked cheated on his girlfriend with me and then was going to keep dating me!"
They were silent. There was nothing that they could say. There was no consoling me. I was about to apologize for my outburst when my phone buzzes.

"Ugh! He's still going to date me! I can't believe this!" I yell, even angrier than I was before

"Ugh! He's still going to date me! I can't believe this!" I yell, even angrier than I was before.
"Well, maybe he's going to break it off?" Paige says reluctantly, knowing that's not the case. All I do though is stand up go into my room and change into different clothes. I walk out and say to the girls,"Let's go to a bar and drown our sorrows-well my sorrows-in alcohol."
"Um, are you sure that you are stable enough to do that?" Chelsea asks.
"Chelsea, I feel like crap right now and the only possible solution that I can think of is to get very drunk. Ok?"
"What happened to the sweet innocent Balthazar I know?" Chelsea says sweetly.
"He grew up," I say as I grab my phone and wallet. "Let's go."

Peter's P.o.V.
"What are you doing on your phone," Jackie asks, her head on my lap. We made up, but still I'm still trying to text Balthazar to see why he didn't show. Or answer any of my texts, for that matter. He usually is the one who answers right away.
"Nothing, just scrolling through my Instagram," I reply, quickly locking my phone. I start to just play with her hair when she says, "Hey let's go to Ben's. They seemed to be having some fun, though there were so many people there."
"Yeah, a couple of friends from high school are staying over," I explain.
"Where do they all sleep? We should invite some people over here! If I'm not living here, someone should," she says in a suddenly snippy tone.
"We aren't having this fight again, my parents don't want us to live together until we're married," I complain.
"Where are your parents again? Oh yeah, in NEW FREAKING ZEALAND!" I just sit there stunned at how fast this situation escalated.
Why is she so angry about this? I guess we could move in together, we have been dating for a while.
As I start to formulate a plan, Jackie stands up and says,"What happened to us? We used to be so cute, now all we do is fight." I walk up behind her and put my arms around her waist.
"We still are cute. And, we will show everybody that we are cute at Ben's. I say bringing up her previous offer.
"Ok, then let's go."
