Chapter 4: Halloween Party

Chapter 4: Halloween Party

PETER'S POV

I sighed and placed the hat on my head. My parents and Brooklynne convinced me to wear a Peter Pan costume for halloween. Every year, my parents put on a big halloween party and my mom was kind of upset because this is the first one without Ariel. We always invite Brooklynne and her parents, along with Of Mice and Men and a bunch of other bands including Falling In Reverse, Pierce The Veil and others that my parents have become friends with over the years.

"PETER! COME ON! EVERYBODY IS ALMOST HERE!" My mom called up the stairs. I sighed and walked out of the room, my mom standing at the bottom of the stairs.

"You look so cute!" She squealed, pulling me into a hug as I reached the bottom.

"Mom, I'm a fifteen year old boy, I don't look cute." I said, walking to the kitchen when she let go of me.

"You just remind me of the last time you wore a Peter Pan costume, when you were four."

"I know, I know." I said, bitting into an apple.

"Ready to see your girlfriend tonight?" My dad smirked as he punched me in the arm.

"She's not my girlfriend." I said quietly.

"Why haven't you asked her out yet?" My mom whined. "You guys both like each other." I jsut glared at her and tossed my apple in the trash.

"It's just not the right time yet." I shrugged.

"What do you mean it's not the right time!" My mom exclaimed.

"Yeah Peter, you better get her for yourself before she finds someone else." My dad said, sitting on the counter.

"I told you I don't want to ruin our friendship! She's my only friend I have in that stupid school!"

"Just saying." My dad said, holding his hands up in defense.

"Austin Robert Carlile, get your ass off that counter, we prepare food there." My mom hissed, slapping his thigh as she walked back. My dad shrugged and hopped off.

"That's why you don't get a girlfriend." He said quietly to me with a smirk.

"I HEARD THAT!" My dad just walked out laughing. I sat down on one of the bar stools, my head in one of my hands.

"AUSTIN! PEOPLE ARE HERE!" My mom called as she opened the front door. Before I knew it, someone had wrapped their arms around my waist and was swinging me around the room. I gripped onto the arms, squeezing my eyes shut tight. Suddenly, I was released and landed on the couch. I heard a familliar laugh and sat up, looking around to see Ronnie, doubled over laughing.

"Hey Radke, try not to throw my son." My dad laughed as he walked into the room.

"Sorry man, I had too." Ronnie said, trying to stop laughing. Ronnie walked over and ruffled my hair with a smile. The two guys walked out as my mom and the OM&M and the FIR wives walked in.

"Peter, Brooklynne is walking up the driveway, why don't you go greet her." I nodded and stood up, leaving the group of laughing girls behind. Right as I walked into the entryway, I saw Alex and his wife walk in, followed by Brooklynne. I smiled until I saw someone with their arm around her waist. I smile dropped as I saw it was some strang boy I had never seen before.

"Hey Peter!" Brooklynne smiled, waving at me and running over, hugging me tightly.

"Hi." I said quietly as she returned back to the guys. "W-Who's this?" I asked.

"This is my boyfriend Jacob." She smiled, placing a hand on his chest. I could just feel my heart break into millions of pieces as I tried to remain cool on the outside.

"Oh, cool." I said.

"I knew you would look cute in that costume!" She smiled, fixing my hat. I forced a smile back at her as this Jacob guy kissed the top of her head.

"S-So, I-I haven't seen Jacob around s-school."

"He goes to a different school." Brooke shrugged.

"O-Oh, h-how did you t-two meet?"

"He's Rian and Cassadee's son."

"O-Oh. I-I'll be right back." I said, as I turned to go up the stairs. As I was walking, tears started rolling down my face and I went faster, finally making it to my room and closing the door. I bit my lip to remain from screaming and threw my hat as tears streamed down my cheeks.

"GOD DAMNIT!" I yelled, ripping off my shirt and jumping onto my bed, screaming into my pillow. What did Jacob have that I didn't? I let my mind wander, almost driving me crazy. Soon, I fell asleep, just wanting to get this whole night over with.

TORI'S POV

"I'll be right back." I said to the girls, stepping away and walking around the house. I saw Brooklynne, but with a guy other then Peter. I raised my eyebrow and walked over to them.

"Hey Brooklynne."

"Oh, hey Tori." She smiled at me.

"H-Have you seen Peter?" She shook her head. "I said hi to him when I got here but then he said he would be right back and went up the stairs."

"H-How long ago was that?"

"Like an hour." She shrugged.

"Okay, thanks." I said, making my way up the stairs. I passed Austin on the way and he gripped my hips, kissing my lips.

"What's up?" He asked. He was a bit tipsy.

"I'm going to find Peter."

"Oh okay." He said, going down the rest of the stairs. I rolled my eyes, sometimes I really hated when he was drunk. I made it to the top and went down the hall to Peter's room. I knocked on the door, no answer. I sighed and tried to open it, locked. I took one of the bobby pins from out of my hair and unlocked the door.

I looked to see Peter's hat and shirt on the floor, Peter asleep on the bed. I sighed and sat down next to him, pushing his hair out of his face. I looked to see tears marks on his face. I bit my lip, deciding to let him sleep. I got up and walked out of the room, was all this because of the guy I saw Brooklynne with? I don't know, but I'm determined to find out tomorrow.
