Dear Peter, I will always love you

Chapter 27

A few weeks have went by and I'm starting my work placement at the care home like Margot. Peter and I have been better than ever and I'm glad things are finally working out for us.

I put on a sweet little outfit to make a good impression (outfit above). I head in my car and drive straight there. I head inside and go straight to the reception desk.

"Hi I'm Lara Jean Covey starting my work placement today" I smile brightly at the women.

"Oh great, some help. Do you want to tale a seat we're just waiting on another volunteer.." she sighs in relief.

"Another volunteer? But I'm the only senior who put my name down.. are you sure" I ask in confusion.

"Yeah they're from a different school, should he here any minute" she smiles typing away at her computer. I turn around to take a seat and stop in my tracks.

"Lara Jean?" I stop as he says my name, I smile politely.
"John Ambrose?" I stutter out. Peter isn't going to be happy when I tell him this. If I tell him. I should tell him right?

"Of course you're volunteering here, seems right up your street covey.." he chuckles, I gulp down hard not knowing exactly what to say after what happened the other night. And the fact that I've only been thinking about him.

"Eh yeah aha .." I blurt our awkwardly, I turn quickly bumping right into the receptionist.
"Oh sorry.." I say rubbing my head.

"Aha just how I remember you.." I hear him chuckle to himself. I sigh not knowing how I'll survive this work placement.

"You two will start by clearing up the old storage closet.. " she says walking off.

I awkwardly smile at him and he starts waking as if he actually knows where the storage closet is. I follow him like a lost puppy.

We've been clearing out the closet for what seems like hours in silence. Neither one of us have uttered a word to one another. I stare over at him as I dust off a few old records. He just stares right back.

"So" we both say at the same time, we both laugh. "You go first.." I say, not knowing what to expect.

"Covey about the other night.. I'm sorry I was drunk and seeing you with him. It was a shock I didn't expect it.. he's such a.. jacka-" he stops before finishing his sentence, which is wise.

"It's fine, I'm sorry you got that letter, kitty sent them out and that's how me and peter got together. It's a long story but I'm sorry.." I give a small smile looking down getting back to what I was doing.

"We do have all day.. how about you tell me that 'long story'" he exaggerates. I sigh smiling knowing that I'm about to tell him the worst love story ever.

"Well you see there were 5 letters in total.. you, Peter Kavinsky, josh Sanderson, Lucas krapf and a boy from camp.. kitty thought I needed a boyfriend so I'd get out the house more since Margot was gone. So she sent all five ethers out.."

"Wait all 5 she's wild ahaha" he interrupts laughing away.

"Yeah... Peter got his letter and thought I was hitting on him now and I definitely had no intention of being with him not for real anyway. We made a deal..." I grab some more records and dust them off.. getting my thought.

"What type of deal?" John sounds more intrigued now.

"Well he wanted to make gen jealous because she broke up with him for some college guy and I, I didn't want josh thinking I still had any sort of feeling towards him because I definitely didn't.. we decided to fake date, there was a contract and everything.."

"A contract, for real covey you made a contract with peter K?" He laughs again.

"Yeah just basic things... one thing lead to another and he didn't want me breaking up with him so I ended up on the ski trip.... we broke up our fake relationship after and then I realised that I fell in love with him like he fell in love with me and not the fake kind.." I finically finish.

"Really... that is some love story, quite impressive.." he smirks at me. I smile realising he's not a bad guy, everything going to be okay working with him.

I get in my car and drive straight to peters, he told me to meet him there. As I get closer I see him with gen. I park outside his house and just sit in my car. They haven't noticed me yet, he's comforting her. He shouldn't be doing that.. what on earth do they have to be together right now for.

He spots me in the corner of his eye and immediately removes himself off gen. I just stare at them. Gen spots me too and looks down before walking to her car. Peter slowly walks toward my car and opens the passenger door.

"You coming in?" He says as if he was just hugging his ex girlfriend.

"What was that about?" I say as calm as possible so he doesn't think it bothered me.

"Oh nothing don't worry about it.." he says brushing it off, I feel my heart beating faster. 'Don't worry about it' yeah I'm worrying. How does he think this is ok.

"Why were you hugging her peter.." I say quietly not trying to get annoyed.

"Look she's got a lot on her plate right now and she needs someone.." he shrugs. He just stares at me.

"It shouldn't be you, your her ex Peter.." my tone doesn't change.

"Promise you covey you have nothing to worry about, your the love of my life I promise.." he puts his picky out and locks it with mine. He loves a kiss on my hand and I smile at him. He's right.. I have nothing to worry about.

We're sitting on his bed and I start fiddling with his hand. I should bring up John Ambrose right? I move on top of him so I'm stealing him and start playing with his hair.

"You know how I had my placement today.. you'll never guess who was there.." I say playing with his hair still.

"I thought you were the only one who signed up.." he squints his eyes, his hand are in my waist moving up and down.

"I was. But another school must of been using them as well... it was John Ambrose, that's crazy isn't it.." I laugh slightly to try and lift the mood.

"Yeah crazy, did he say anything to you?" He keeps moving his hands up and down not getting distracted.

"We didn't speak for the majority of the day but he apologised. So I guess we're okay now so things shouldn't be awkward.." I shrug, looking down at him. I rub his cheek and lift his face slightly. "Peter Kavinsky I love you"

He smiles at me "Lara Jean song covey I love you so much.."
