Alex POV

I often pretend to be asleep so John carries me places. So imagine my surprise when I'm just about to drift off and I hear a voice- a beautiful voice for the record- singing and saying, "I love you" 

Now the reason I didn't open my eyes or 'wake up' is because 1) It was a part of the song so it wasn't to me And 2) I fell asleep. 

Had he really said it to me? John loves me? No. No one loves me. But that's perfectly fine because if I work hard enough I won't need anyone. Not even John Laurens.

~Time skip like a day bc its party timeeee~

BaldCoconut POV

I looked at my wrist. 

Are you going to the Halloween party tonight?

I wrote back to my soulmate

If you're there I wouldn't miss it for the world

I smiled. I would finally meet them. I really really REALLY hope they like me. If I were around anyone else right now i would say "whats not to like" with one of those Barbie Ken smiles but really? I'm paranoid.

Peggy POV

Today's the day of the party so I'm legally aloud to wake up John by yeeting a spoon at his face. 10 extra points if it gets lodged in his hair. Bonus if he doesn't wake up.

Dammit... No more spoons. Guess I'll just have to use a chopstick. I walked to his doorway and YEET.

Oh my god.

It landed in his nostril. 

I DON'T EVEN HAVE A POINT SYSTEM FOR THIS BUT I THINK I WIN...

And...wait...hold on...YESSSS he didn't wake up!!!

I tip-toed over to him to retrieve my weapon and saw that he was clutching something. Is that, a notebook? I snatched the book and left the chopstick where it was.

I opened the yellowing pages as I made my way into my room, well, the guest room, and sat down on the bed.

"Oh lordy lordy what do we have here"I murmured flipping through the pages and pages of Alex.

"PEGGY WHAT ARE YOU DOING"

shit he found me.

"Obviously not eating the Chinese food that's in the freezer because the utensils are otherwise... occupied" I tried to keep a strait face but then he realized the chopstick was hanging from his nose and hit it a couple of times before getting it out.

DOWN

"OH MY GOT JOHN I CAN'T BREATH STOP MAKING ME LAUGH MY GOD"

He stomped over to me and snatched the notebook. His face was bright red. I really do hate when he's mad so I tried to suppress my laughter to no prevail.

"Fuck off and don't snoop in my room you bum"

The pureness is too much.
