South Park Love Story A Goth Kid's New Troubles PetexO.C

Chp 09: Comfort of a "Friend"

Mike was dead to me at least I wish he was. I still loved him like crazy. I was hoping it was all just a crazy lie I'd even accept it as a delusion. Secretly I knew this was life, it as my life, the one that always found a way to spiral. I tricked mom into thinking I had a temperature and now I was home alone. She went off to work and I sat motionless in my room. I didn't need to eat anymore. Eating would remind me of Mike, it would burn. I sat there my headphones plugged in listening to nothing just staring at the floor. My phone vibrated and my arm cracked as I grabbed it. This was the first time my hand moved all day. I read the words carefully. "We need to talk" I rolled my eyes getting ready for another miserable day.

Pete P.O.V

I was smoking a cigarette in the alley no where near the other goths. I held the gun firmly in my bag and I knew Henrietta would search through it suspicious that I had never brought bags to this conformist school. I was just waiting for Mike to appear, then I'd pull it on him. Whether I'd pull the trigger was what I was still debating. 

**** P.O.V

She pinned me against the wall as soon as I step foot on the cement ground. I gritted my teeth trying not to punch her. I was about to scream her name when she gagged me with a cloth. "Shut up and listen, Miller." She hissed. I rolled my eyes trying to frown. "I never liked you here, I hate your face and the impact you have on the guys, tornado. Michael has a crush on the fucking blonde now! You're fucking up my life, Pete's already gone off the rail. I'm warning you, calm the hell down before he kills someone." She said releasing me. I stared at her in her black dress not knowing whether to be grateful or angry. She slowly walked away still gritting her teeth. I smiled calling her name.

"Henrietta..." She turned around tears in her eyes. "I didn't know you liked Michael...." She frowned and continued to walk away. I guess I had to find Pete and set things straight. Make sure he was alright. I still cared about him no matter how much I hated it.

I walked in the school corridors for about an hour with no sight of a single person. I wasn't expecting to be pulled into his chest. I immediately slapped him in the face making him step back. I couldn't help the tears stream down my face. "What do you want Mike?" I tried screaming.

He grabbed my hand trying to reassure me. "Look Jade, it was true the first time we kissed, but I.... I, I love you." He said hugging me. I buried my head in his chest as I cried. What the hell was I gonna do. I didn't know my own feelings anymore. 

"Jade!" A voice echoed towards me. I lifted my head wiping tears. I broke away from Mike quickly.

"Pete... It's not, it's not what it looks like!" I screamed. He looked down shutting his eyes and shaking his head. I swear I could see tears fall from his cheek. I tried to suppress my tears as he grabbed a gun out of his bag. He pointed it towards Mike then to me. I wasn't too sure if he'd pull the trigger though. I forced Mike behind me. 

"Pete stop!" I hollered grasping Mike's hand. He fell to his knees dropping the gun and finally giving into tears. He hugged himself bobbing back and forth. I let go of Mike's hand and ran to Pete. I hugged him forcing him up. "look at me, Pete..." I whispered. He was breathing hard tears constantly running down his poor check. He turned away from me. "Look at me Pete!" I hollered. "think of the old days." I whispered rubbing his head scruffing his black hair. He cried in my arms as I hugged him. I looked up at Mike who was biting his lip. "Maybe you should go Mike, you're my best friend... Let's stay that way..." I looked away not being able to see the pain in his face. I could see a smirk though. A smirk of pride, one that read he had won. I was just a contest and Mike won. He had broken Pete.
