Chapter 5 FWB

--continued

" Yes. " Rolled out of her tongue instead of no and she widened her eyes slightly. She couldn't say no. She wanted to get Peter out of her head and this was what she needed. But Peter's heart squeezed at the answer, which ringed through his ears loud and clear and his breath hitched.

" Uh.. Liz, I need to get some fresh air. I'll be back. " He mumbled, loosening his tie and walked past the crowd, out of the school. He took deep breaths, running a hand through his hair and tried to cool down.

Sitting by the stairs, he held her head in his hand. Now he realised what Y/n meant the other day. When she said she was scared and it'd hurt if they get too attached. It does hurt and it was very much to bear.

His eyes stung and he suddenly couldn't breath. He felt like he was underwater, and he couldn't see anything clearly due to the tears now forming in his eyes.

" Peter! " Someone says from beside him but it came only muffled. That someone placed a hand on his shoulder and he knew for sure it wasn't Y/n.

" Peter, you okay? Do you want to go home? I'll call your Aunt. " Liz asks and Peter shook his head.

" No. I just... can't breath! " He mumbled, pulling off the tie and opened the first button. His hands were shaking and he couldn't stay still.

" Peter, calm down. Tell me what happened? " Liz asks trying to get him calm down and Peter couldn't get a word out. His voice deceived him as he tried to say something. There was lump in his throat they didn't allow him to speak.

" I'll be back.  Need to use the washroom. " Y/n says, excusing herself from the group. She ran a hand through her hair, pulling them off messily from her perfectly done hairstyle and she took a deep breath.

What was I thinking? This is wrong!

She paced around, her breath quickening and her eyes stung. Her mind went back to why her heart leapt a beat when Peter kissed her forehead, a sign of affection that she promised wouldn't give or receive during the whole semi relationship.

Why there were so many emotions in the last kiss they had and why she cannot get Peter out of her mind! She sighed through her nose and tried to focus on anything.

The two figures caught her eyes on the stairs just outside and she squinted her eyes.

" Peter, look at me. " Liz mumbles and Peter turned his head towards Liz.

" It'll be fine. " She whispers leaning in and closed the distance. Peter couldn't get his mind on track. He started kissing her back, trying to get a distraction, any distraction in this case.

Y/n's breath got caught in her throat and her eyes stung more than ever. Her chest rose and fell as she clenched her fists, a single tear dropping down her eyes and she turned on her heels, walking out in the garden for some time. She wiped away the tears hurriedly, hearing footsteps behing her.

" Y/n, you okay? " Zayn asks and Y/n nodded.

" Couldn't breath. " She says taking another deep breath and looked up at him.

" Take me home please! " She whispered, trying to swallow the lump in her throat.

" Hey, calm down. " He says noticing her shaking body and she shook her head. She felt like she was freezing but it wasn't cold, it was just her whole body shivering. Her eyes were burning as the temperature of her body rose, she was trying not to give up.

" Take me home. I need my medicine. " She mumbled, standing up and stumbling over her heels and blurred vision. Zayn caught her before she falls and picked her up bridal style, hurrying over to his car.
