Deadroses {A Pete Wentz x Reader Story}

Chapter 4: Better? Maybe, maybe not.

A/N// Cutting won't be involved in this chapter, it may get depressing tho so..sorry if this book has been nothing but triggering for you! Time skip to the next day btw.

(Your POV)

I wake up the next morning and sit on the edge of the bed and sigh, gripping the mattress tight. Last night Aunt Jessica told me that Mason and Riley are gonna stay with their grandparents this week. She said that she thought that I should get a break and actually have some time to myself and be a teenager.

I sent an email to the Hot Topic at the local mall 2 weeks ago and my interview is at 1:30. They sent a resume attached to the email for me to print out and fill in. And me being me I didn't fill it in yet.

I groan and get out of my bed, I check the time "10:30..that gives me 3 hours to get ready" I smile to myself and, feeling confident for the first time in awhile. "Today is gonna be great (y/n)" I tell myself and walk across the hall and go to the shower. I've made it a goal for myself to not look at family photos.

I step into the shower and wash my hair and body, shaving my armpits and legs. I forget about the cutting while shaving, I feel very good today and I'm not sure why. I have my playlist on shuffle and all if a sudden I hear a very guitar riff. "Ahhh shit man!" I smile and sing along "I found the cure to growing older, and you're the only place that feels like home.. just so you know you never know some secrets were meant to be told I found the cure to growing older" I sing along with Patrick and dance to the instrument break.

“Im the first kid to write of hearts,lies, and friends and I am sorry my conscience called in sick again. And I've got arrogance down to a science. Now I'm the the first kid the write of hearts lies and friends noww” I hold out the last note and rinse my hair out.

"So douse yourself in cheap perfume it's so fitting, so fitting of the way you are you can't cover it up can't cover it upp" I smile to myself and sing louder. I stop the water and get out of the shower. I wrap a towel around me and my hair.

I look in the mirror and brush my teeth while dancing like and idiot, I finish up and walk to my room. I actually kind if like myself today, again I'm not sure why because I've been really negative lately. I look at the clock on my wall "11:00 o'clock".

"Hmm what should I wear?.." I look at my closet and grab a Fall Out Boy shirt from 2005 and some black ripped skinny jeans, I suddenly realize I have scares on my wrists, not wanting to wear a hoodie I get my bracelets and cover my arms in them.

I grab a flannel and tie it around my waist and grab a striped beanie, I go over to my vanity and smudge on a bunch of eyeliner. I look at my phone “Shit it's 12:30 I only have an hour to get there” I get up quickly and grab my small wallet and phone.

I run out the door not forgetting to lock it and get into my car, I drive quickly to the mall. I get into the parking lot. "Oh thank God it's a Thursday afternoon, it's not fucking packed with people" I find a parking spot and walk inside.

I walk around past the Sephora and right across from it was the Hot Topic, I walk in and see someone familiar I try to ignore it but he smiles at my Fall Out Boy shirt. Since im a bit early I walk around to the band merch section and run into- OH MY GOD ITS PETE WENTZ, I JUST RAN INTO THE PETE WENTZ!

“Nice shirt” he says to me, he scans me up and down and smirks a small bit. “T-thank you” I barely get it out and gulp, Pete fucking Wentz is standing right in front of me.

All of a sudden he puts his arm on my shoulder “Hey it's okay, what's your name?”

(Pete's POV)

I see the most beautiful girl I've literally ever seen standing right in front of me, she seems nervous because I said I liked her shirt. I rest my hand on her shoulder hoping to calm her down “Hey it's okay, what's your name?" I ask her, she looks at me timidly. “(Y/N)..." She says in a shaky voice.
