~Peter POV~

The only thing I could think about during the drive home was how much I hurt Lara Jean. I mean I just told the girl I love, that I still have feelings for my ex girlfriend, that just so happens to be Gen, Lara Jeans arch enemy and ex best friend. I'm so stupid and just ruined whatever real shot I had with her... I think i might cry.

I've been parked in the driveway for the last half an hour trying to think of some way i can get Lara Jean to forgive me or even forget about all of this, but I've had no luck because she pretty much told me she wants no contact with me for a little while.

Finally deciding to go inside, I lock my car and take my time walking up to the door. As I put my hand on the door knob i take a couple deep breaths trying to calm myself down a little. As i walk inside i see my mom sitting on the couch and reading like she usually does just before making dinner. She looks up at me as I'm walking in so I quickly put on a fake smile, hoping she won't see through it. "Where have you been, did you forget that you're grounded mister?" She looks back at her book while I turn and close the door, "Yes i remember and i'm sorry mom but Lara Jean um... she needed a ride home." I say quickly as I make my way to the stairs. "Peter are you-" "I'm just gonna go change real quick." I interrupt her and bolt up the stairs.

After I change I make my way back downstairs to find my mom in the same place i left her, only she has a questioning look, she saw right through me... so i try and change the subject, "You want any help with dinner?" "Sure..." she says but still has that look on her face. "What mom?" "Did something happen Peter because-" I shake my head, she doesn't need to know about my relationship drama "No, why do you assume something happened?" She closes her book and makes her way to me, "geez I don't know, maybe because you're avoiding looking at me and my questions-" "I'm not avoiding your questions mom!" She looks at me with a shocked expression but it quickly changes to concern, "Yes you are and you're raising your voice at me, you know you don't do that unless you're trying to avoid telling me something... What's going on honey?" "It's not that big of a deal-" i"m about to break, I can't hold it in anymore, "If it has you this upset to where you avoid me, then yes honey it is... so please just tell-" i begin to cry, "I- I think I lo- lost her..." I quietly manage to choke out.

"Honey what are you talking about?" She asks me while walking me over to the couch. "Lara Jean, I hurt her." She looks at me with pity. "Why do you say that?" I shake my head, the last thing I want is for my mom to be disappointed in me too. "Come on Peter you can tell me..." She urges me, "She thinks i'm still in love with Gen and said we need some space." She shakes her head while wiping the little bit of tears on my face, "Do you?" I look down and sigh "I honestly don't know, i mean i still think about her from time to time and i still care about her. And sometimes i think i miss her but... I don't know." "Okay, now why does Lara Jean think you still love her?" I hesitate, "Well she found out I went to Gen's room while we were on the ski trip." She sighs but i shake my head "Nothing happened mom. I would never do that, I just went to tell her that things were officially over between her and i." She looks relieved, "Does Lara Jean know that Peter?" I slowly nod and look at her once again but thins time with a look of guilt, "What?" i lower my voice "Not on the ski trip but... she saw the two of us kiss yesterday-" "Peter! You didn't?" she says with disappointment. "But wait mom you have to let me explain... please?" I beg and she nods in agreement.

Over the next half an hour I tell my mom everything that happened between Gen and I yesterday... (We already know what happened so i'm not gonna rewrite it... but incase you don't know or need a refresher because it's been a while... It's all in chapter 4!)
