*Pete's P.O.V.*

I really did think things were fine, but I was very wrong. First it was Kyle that texted me asking about (Y/N). Then, Stan sent a text my way too. Both of them sounding very concerned with her. I thought we were fine, but she wasn't. Clearly, she wasn't. 

I texted her four times after school wanting to meet with her, but I forgot about practice. So, I was left in a panic with Michael, Henrietta, and Fickle until 6:00 pm. 

"Pete, what's the matter with you?" Michael asked.

We were all sitting in Henrietta's basement talking about some bull shit that I couldn't even focus on.

"No kidding, you're like tweaking out. Are you on meth?" Henrietta also questioned.

Meth? Meth would be a good excuse. We already knew Henrietta had been dabbling with heroine. I could be on meth.

"I just haven't had a smoke in a while. I ran out today, and forgot to pick up another pack before I came here," I lied, knowing the carton in my car was full. It was true, though. I hadn't smoked in a while. I just didn't feel a need to.

"Here." Fickle threw his pack at me, and I forced myself to take one.

I gave him a nod before throwing it back at him.

Finally, I got a text back. I needed to go see her, too, but I had no idea how the hell I was going to get out of this. 

C'mon Pete. This is your girlfriend that needs you right now.

I started to cough uncontrollably before I lit the cigarette, causing all of them to look towards me. 

"Are you okay?" Henrietta asked.

"I think I'm *cough* sick," I tried to reply. "I should go."

I quickly got up and left to go to (Y/N)'s house. I texted her and told her I was coming to get her. Once I was there she came right out of her house and got in my car, looking exhausted. I wanted to blame it on practice, but I knew that wasn't it. 

Neither of us said anything when she got in, and I drove off to Stark Pond, where I figured we wouldn't be spotted. As soon as I parked the car, (Y/N) burst into violent tears.
