PETER'S POV

The next day, I was just laying there, the events from last night still running through my head.

"Peter, you need to get up for school." My mom said, walking in.

"I-I don't want to go." I said, knowing I would have to face Brooklynne. "I-I'm sick."

"Peter."

"You know I have depression, mom! I just don't want to go! I don't feel like it!" She sighed.

"Alright." She said, leaving the room. I flopped back onto my pillow, more tears falling from my eyes. A few hours later, there was a knock at the door and my dad walked in, closing the door behind him.

"Peter, we need to talk." He said, sitting at the foot of my bed.

"No we don't." I said, turning so my back was facing him.

"Your mom noticed that you went to bed early last night, like, you missed the whole party."

"That was kind of the point of sleeping." I said quietly.

"Why Peter?"

"I just didn't feel like partying."

"She noticed that you had been crying before you feel asleep."

"Cause I hurt myself." I lied.

"Peter, you can tell me. Your mom also noticed Brooklynne was with a guy. Is that the reason." I brought my hands to my face, tears starting to roll down my cheeks. "Peter."

"I don't want to talk about it." I cried.

"I know you really liked her Peter."

"I didn't really like her dad." I said.

"W-What?" I turned over and looked him in the face.

"I loved her."

The next day, I decided to return to school. I knew I couldn't hide forever, so I just had to drag myself to school and face Brooke.

"Hey Peter." She smiled, running up to me at my locker.

"Hi." I said, slamming my locker shut.

"Where'd you go the other night?"

"I ended up falling asleep." I shrugged. "Sorry."

"It's fine, where were you yesterday? I missed you!" She exclaimed.

"Didn't feel like coming to school so I stayed home." I shrugged again.

At lunch time, Brooke was talking my ear off, a huge smile on her face.

"What's wrong? You seem upset today."

"I'm fine." I shrugged.

"No Peter, what's wrong."

"I'm just thinking." I shrugged again.

"Stop fucking shrugging! You've been doing it all damn day! Now, what the fuck are you thinking about?" I started to shrug but stopped.

"Just you...and Jacob."

"Me and Jacob?" I nodded. "What about us?"

"Well, mostly Jacob?"

"Well, what about him?" I looked at her and stared straight into her eyes.

"I don't think he's right for you."

"What?"

"I don't think he's right for you." I said again, continuing to eat my food.

"Well, what the fuck do you mean by that?" She asked, placing her hands on her hips.

"I don't know, you guys seem kind of awkward together. Like, when people date, isn't it supposed to be like, two puzzle pieces fitting together?" I should've never opened my mouth. "Like, I don't know, I just never expect to see you with a guy like that?"

"Like what? What the fuck is wrong with my boyfriend!"

"Nothing! He just seems...different."

"God damnit Peter! Stop fucking sugar coating and tell me how you really feel! What the hell do you mean by different?"

"I don't know how to explain it! He just seems a little off...like you deserve someone better. I don't know, don't listen to me." I said, shrugging again.

"You know what Peter. I just think your jealous!"

"Jealous? Me? Pfft, no." I said, rolling my eyes even though I was completley in love with this girl and yes, I was jealous. That's probably why I was saying those things.

"Just shut it Peter. I never want to fucking talk to you again! I hate you Peter Thomas Carlile!" She screeched, dumping her nachos on me and walking away. I sighed and dug the heals of my hands into my eyes to hold back the tears before grabbing my bag and running off to the bathroom to clean myself off.

Great, I just lost my only best friend and the love of my life.
