NOTICE ME : A Peter Kavinsky Story

Destination Love

Camreigh POV:

I felt my foot lose control of the gas pedal as I steered into the Stanford campus parking lot. I was in such a hurry to get to Peter that my mind was elsewhere and I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing. I was thinking of what I would say or do once I saw Peter off in my own world of over analyzing everything like I always did. Speeding like a bat out of hell when a white mustang pulled out in front of me and I had no other choice but to slam my foot on the brake as hard as I could as I hoped and prayed their car would miss mine.

"Phew"
I said aloud as I placed a hand over my heart and inhaled deeply. "Oh my god!"
I exclaimed as I listened to the numerous car horns honk at me, as the white mustang drove off angrily cursing loudly as it exited the SU campus. "Holy shit Camreigh! You gotta get it together!" I spat to myself as I looked at my reflection in the rearview mirror. I had ultimately managed to almost get myself killed over my nerves being at an all time high. I wanted to fix things with Peter not have him attend my funeral by the end of the week!

I drove around the outside of the campus until I came closer to Peter's dormitory so I could park closer. "Housing section F.." I said to myself when I saw the big red F on the side of the building across the campus from me. I felt a smile stretch across my face as excitement filled me, knowing Peter was just a few more feet from me.

I parked closest to the exit and turned the key in the ignition turning the engine off. I leaned back in the driver's seat with both hands on the steering wheel, giving myself a minute to breath and collect my thoughts. What was I going to say? How would he react once he saw me, so on and so forth. I was ultimately putting more unnecessary pressure on myself than I needed too. So I let my anxious, overwhelmed, sometimes out of control brain just stop what it was doing and let myself breath.
"Camreigh. You got this. Quit stressing over this. Peter loves you and you love him... You just have to trust that everything is going to be alright!" I said to myself, looking at my reflection in the mirror. I shook my head and laughed at myself... this boy really had me shook. But who could blame me? Our entire relationship was on the line and now we had to prove to one another that it was worth fighting for.

I searched the car for makeup of any kind but came up short. All I was able to find was a pink EOS and some old mascara that had been in dad's car for god know's how long. But an emergency is an emergency after all right!? I thought to myself as I smeared a couple of swipes across my lips and brushed a couple of layers of maybelline on my lashes and got out of the car.

I went to grab my phone which had finally charged and started to let him know I was here and I had been running a little late. But now that I had made it this far, A suprise my just do him (us) some good. As I locked the car door behind me and headed on to the grounds of the campus I could feel my heart pounding the closer I got to his dormitory. In the midst of all of the chaos I had caused myself already I had almost forgotten his room number. Actually if it hadn't of been for the dry erase board and the Polaroid of the two of us on the outside of his door I would've had to knock on all of them to find him.

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

The outside of his door read Do Not Disturb In big bold print written in dry erase marker on it. Obviously he was sulking in his room probably watching 90s sitcom reruns avoiding everyone, can't say I blame him though I would be doing the same. It didn't help I was later than he probably anticipated me arriving and at this point was wondering if I was coming or not. Which ultimately made me feel bad, but I'm here now and that's all that mattered. As I stood on the outside of the door in my blue jean shorts and Old Navy t-shirt I finally got the nerve to knock.

I hit the outside three times hearing him rustle around inside and groan before opening his mouth being unintentionally rude. "Yeah Go Away. Can't you read!?" He said oblivious that it could actually be me on the other side, so I knocked again only this time louder. I heard him getting aggravated which sorta made me giggle. Until he got curious enough to answer.

In that brief matter of seconds I felt the wind off of the door swing open as he mouthed some unkind words at the obnoxious person who was bothering him (me). Until he lifted his head up to actually look at me and his brown eyes locked with mine. Making him go silent and his body almost paralyzed as he stood their frozen. His facial expression went from shocked and suprised to happy and warm all in a matter of minutes. His big white smile glistened as he stared at me with such love in his eyes. We were both in aww of one another and were acting as if time had stopped. My eyes felt like they could let loose tears at any given moment. "Camreigh. I-I" he said unable to make sense of his words when I shook my head at him.
"I know P" I replied knowing everything he was trying to say without even muttering the words. In that moment his hand stretched for mine and pulled me in towards him as he shut the door behind me. I was once again in his arms and it never felt so good.
