What we didn't know

Chapter 2

"Gwen! Please I'll do anything else, just not this!" Peter was In his room and looked about 12. He was sitting on his bed and Gwen was stirring in the floor. Peter was holding a guitar and trying to talk Gwen out of something.

"No, Petey. You said anything and this is anything. You will do it or face the wrath of my fists." Gwen threatened. Peter sighed and put his fingers in place. He glanced at Gwen one last time and she nodded.

Peter let out a deep breath and started to sing.

"I've been throwing stones, waiting by the river

I've been on my own, praying like a sinner

You've been gone too long, I'm waiting out the winter

I've been on my knees, praying like, praying like a sinner

Well you've built a city right in me

And brick by brick and piece by piece

And love in both your hands

Try to make an honest man

From when I woke until I went to sleep

You planned my life so carefully

Sculpted me like clay, I can see you in my face

And I never thought I'd live this life without your guiding light

I've been throwing stones, waiting by the river

I've been on my own, praying like a sinner

You've been gone too long, I'm waiting out the winter

I've been on my knees, praying like, praying like a sinner

And I heard the walls are paper thin

From where you are to where I am

But I don't feel a thing

If you are, keep pulling strings

And send on down a message please

Light a boat, go home my dreams

I'd just like to know

That you hear me, that you're close

And I never thought I'd live this life without your guiding light

I've been throwing stones, waiting by the river

I've been on my own, praying like a sinner

You've been gone too long, I'm waiting out the winter

I've been on my knees, praying like, praying like a sinner

You've been gone for too long

You've been gone for too long

I've been throwing stones, waiting by the river

I've been on my own, praying like a sinner

You've been gone too long, I'm waiting out the winter

I've been on my knees, praying like

I've been throwing stones, waiting by the river

I've been on my own, praying like a sinner

You've been gone too long, I'm waiting out the winter

I've been on my knees, praying like, praying like a sinner

Praying like a sinner

I've been throwing stones, waiting by the river

I've been on my own, praying like a sinner

You've been gone too long, I'm waiting out the winter

And I've been on my knees, praying like, praying like a sinner"

When Peter finished, Gwen clapped. "Dude! You can sing?" 

Peter looked sheepish "I guess I can. I'm not good though"

"Are you kidding? You were great!" Gwen praised. Peter blushed but smiled none the less.

He chuckled. "Shut up"

"Aww, is Petey embarrassed?" Gwen teased and Peter put huis head on a pillow. The blonde haired girl laughed at his pain.

The screen shut off.

There was a moment of silence. Peter was looking at the floor with sorrow in his eyes. When both teams looked at him they stayed silent. Not knowing what was wrong.
