The Elevator 2

Chapter 1 – End of beginning

She turned the key and opened the door. Breathless from the hurry she had been in to get home, she slipped out of her converse and threw her bag on the floor. Petey barked happily at her, glad that someone was finally home. "Hey, boy!" she smiled. He jumped around in the hallway. She rushed into her room, turned her PC on, and sat down in her chair to wait. Petey followed her and she grabbed him and placed him on her lap. "You're getting quite heavy, huh?" she smiled and kissed his head. He just tried to lick her face. She smiled as she took a look at her frame on her table with the picture of her and Pete from the elevator. It was about a month ago now, and she could feel how much she missed him every time she looked at the picture, but she loved it anyway.

Finally the pc was ready and she quickly logged on MSN. At once a window opened.

Peter says: "Lena! I was starting to think that you've forgotten our "date"…"

Her heart throbbed and she smiled widely.

Lena says: "How could anyone forget about something like that? I've been thinking about it all day!"

Peter says: "Me, too!:) I miss you so fucking much"

Lena says: "I miss you, too! 3"

They turned on their web-cams, and she smiled even wider when she saw Pete's face. He smiled widely, too.

Peter says: "My memory and the pictures don't do you justice, pretty!"

Lena says: "Haha! Same to you…"

Peter says: "Right, haha"

Peter says: "Well… I want to ask something, actually"

Lena says: "What's that?:)"

Peter says: "Well… Now that the tour is over and stuff… I was thinking that maybe you wanted to come and visit me?"

She stared at the message and her heart pounded hard in her chest. Did he just invite her to L.A.?!

Peter says: "You look shocked?"

She couldn't manage all the thoughts that flew through her head right now. Of course she wanted to come and visit him, but it would be so complicated to figure everything out…

Lena says: "I'm sorry… It just came so suddenly, haha. Uhm… I don't know… I mean, I really want to! But I have to take care of a lot of things and I have to get money for the tickets and all…"

Peter says: "Don't worry. The tickets are on me"

Lena says: "I can't let you pay… I don't wanna be a gold-digger"

Peter says: "You're not! Consider it my thanks to you if you choose to come over here…:)"

Lena says: "Well…"

Peter says: "Will you at least think about it, pretty? You can bring Jeanette, too, if you want to… Patrick will be glad about that, too. I think he misses her"

Lena says: "Okay, I'll think about it:)"

They wrote back and forth for another half hour before Pete had to go.
She closed her PC down again and went for a walk with Petey, who was really eager to go. As she came to the park where she knew she could take the leash of Petey, she let him go and pulled her phone out of her pocket. She was really in doubt. Could she really go to L.A. to visit Pete? That was what she really wanted, but that would truly force her to deal with a long-distance relationship with Pete, though those "MSN/phone dates" they had been having wasn't the right way to deal with it either if she wanted to forget him. She had been in doubt ever since he had left. He wanted to see her again, and, of course, she wanted to see him again as well, but she knew it wasn't that easy. The easiest way would be to forget him – not that it would be easy to forget him, it would only be the easiest way to deal with the question of them seeing each other again and dating each other at all.

She dialed Jeanette's number and listened to the dial tone.

"Hey, Lena. What's up?" Jeanette's voice said.

"Hey, Jeanette. I got to tell you something," Lena said.

"Uh-oh, you sound worried?"

"Well… Yeah."

"What's the matter?"

"Umm… Okay, you know how I'm still talking to Pete and stuff?"

"Yeah? Oh God, he's found someone else?"

"No no, not at all…"

"Well, then what? You're making me nervous!"

"He's sorta… Invited me to come and visit him… In L.A…"

"What!? Are you kidding me!?"

"Nope… You're invited, too."

"No way!"

"Yeah…"

"And you don't know what to say to him?"

"Nope, you know, I really want to! But there are so many things to deal with and… Well…"

"Yeah, I know what you mean… But the summer holiday is just in a few weeks, we could go there?"

"Do you actually want to?"

"Uh, yeah? I mean… It's L.A.! And you've been so down since Pete left… I know it's less complicated to just forget him, but I don't like seeing you like this, and if you really like him you'll regret not going."

"Yeah, maybe you're right… I'll have to talk to my parents though."

"Of course… I just want you to know that I'm in, if you go…"

"Thanks, Jeanette."

"Hey, that's what friends are for, right?"

"Haha, well… I guess… Listen, I gotta go now, but thanks again. I'll let you know when I know what to do, okay?"

"Okay, see you then…"

"See you."

Lena hung up and called Petey. She put his leash on again and went home. Still thinking about what to do…

I am aware that you're not allowed to post fics with non-fictional persons in it, but since Fall Out Boy starred in season 3, they're really characters in "One Tree Hill", too, I would say. So I don't consider myself breaking any rules with this fiction.
