"And now, born from the ashes, she's a warrior in bloodied black."

Peter's Pov

I'm going to the treehouse I think should be cooled down now right? Well, I have to try to talk to her and apologize I don't want to feel uncomfortable around her. I felt that she would be at our thinking tree but to my surprise, she wasn't there. I then go to skull rock, nothing. I then checked all the places she would go to be alone and where no one could get to her. I then think for a moment what if Niall convinced her to not be alone, I go to the tree house and I see Four and Niall talking.

The room felt so open, believe it or not, four has this power to affect the mood. Her eyes seemed a bit different like there was a bit of hope in them. As I look closer what used to to be sadness was replaced with adoration. Sadly, the anger and the pain was still there. I think about coming at a different time not wanting to disturb the pair. I was about to leave when I feel arms wrap around me. I turn my head so fast I got whiplash, I hear chuckling as I wince in pain.

"It's okay, Peter your not him, you never were, never will be, I just was scared-"

I cut four off we both knew where she was going with this. "I know but we esca[aed didn't we?"

"Only physically peter."

I nod my head "so I'm guessing your good then?"

"Yeah, I had.." she pauses and looks at Niall who was pretending that he wasn't listening to our conversation.

She whispers in my ear "I had Niall but I still wish you were there, I'm afraid Peter I'm so scared I'm going to fall for him, I'm not ready to talk and open up yet. But when I'm with him..."

I then look at her and say "was it like when I was with Wendy?"

"Yesh but, the first part, not the second, I don't think he'll force, the worst he'll do is try to figure out my past."

I look at kid grinning from year to ear. I'm happy she has found the love of her life, she may not have figured it out yet but I see it in her eyes, Niall isn't just any boy or her first love, I see the ship that might beat Daphne and Louis.

She was about to say something else with those same sad eyes I saw before, but Daphne choice now to interrupt us and make her presence known. Dammit, I swear, moments like these were rare to find, it's why you treasure them, it's why I love that Niall is here right now. He is making Four change, and from what I could tell for the better.

It doesn't take long for the rest to come back, but I wonder where the hell was they? I smirk when I figure they were together but as couples. I laugh, much to Lily's glare, as she sees ai figure out what happened. I look at Four and our twin telepathy kicks in, yeah we could look at each other and tell what the other is thinking, I guess we know each other pretty well we don't need words all the time. We are going to meet up at the thinking tree later. For now, it's going to have to manage the game today and tell the rest that Four and I aren't joining them today, but maybe next time we will.

Poor boys they were really looking forward to us joining them this time...

Niall's Pov

I try not to listen to their conversation and I couldn't even if I tried the are really good listeners. I have to tell them to give Louis a few tips. I did see however the way she lit up like a Christmas tree somewhere during the conversation. I saw for one moment how happy she could look, and be if she didn't hold onto all that pain. All I do now is that it has to do with Haley Malcolm, I'm not sure what she did, but I have to figure it out.
