Elizabeth's POV
Well needless to say, Peter didn't 'reach me'. We went on the road for comic con, but it was awkward between the two of us. We didn't talk for a long time. We lost contact between each other completely. He eventually got a divorce from Jennie, an I soon found out he move on to some girl named Jamie Alexander. I later met up with an old director and friend and we eventually got together. I completely forgot about Peter and my past.
(two years after breaking dawn)
I was sitting at home, alone. It was a normal, one of my days off. I was laying in bed, typing up some things on my computer. Luther, my puppy, was snuggled up in the blankets. I had my music playing off of my iPhone, through my Doc station. It had been a boring day. Gavin was hanging out with an old friend he knew from college. I wasn't exactly bothered by him hanging out with her. I'm not typically the jealous type. I knew he loved me, so I wasn't worried. I had been home alone with Luther all day. I sighed as I finished typing, and moved my laptop to the side of the bed. I fell backwards into the pillows. I closed my eyes and listened as the next song came on. I opened them and looked back to my screen. My screen saver came on. A picture of me and Peter Facinelli, on the last day of filming Breaking Dawn, appeared. I smiled and listened to the music that was playing,
This one is for the boys with the booming system

The song made me start to think about Peter. I smiled and remembered how every time I used to look at Peter my heart would start to race. I sat up and started to sing along to the chorus.Boy, you got my heartbeat runnin' away

I had continued to sing along to the song, and by the end, I was dancing around a little, where I was sitting. I listened as the next song started to play. I saw that the screen on my laptop had turned to a picture of Me and Gavin.
Woah Woah

Woah woah woah [x4]
The bedroom door opened, and Gavin stepped in. I hadn't even heard him come back.
"Hey" I said, my smile getting bigger. I was happy he was back. Now we could actually spend a little time together. His head was hung, and he didn't seem like himself. "Gavin? You ok? Is something wrong?" I asked, climbing out of bed and looking at him. He sighed,
"Elizabeth, sit down. We gotta talk." he instructed. I had never allowed him to call me Liz. It was special and only some people could call me that. I sat down next to him on the edge of the bed,
"What?" I asked gently and cautiously. He took a deep breath and looked up at me,
"Elizabeth, I just want to tell you something, but I don't want to hurt your feelings," he said. I looked back into his eyes,
"Gavin, its ok. You can tell me anything," I said, touching his arm. His hand came up and removed mine, placing it back on the bed.
"Elizabeth, it's just...not...working...between us," he said. I felt my chest tighten up, but I remained still. Oh god, this cant be happening.
"What? Why?" I said, panic clear in my voice. His hands captured mine, as if it would calm me.
"Elizabeth, No, No... it's not you...really. It's me... ok...I- I just..."
"Its her, isn't it?" I asked, calmly. I wasn't jealous, or furious, or even mad. Just completely confused as to what would drive him to this. He nodded. I knew there was something between them, but I didn't think it was anything serious or important.
"I-I just, I realised I want her back. Elizabeth. I really do like you, but she's given me a second chance. And I just feel I should take it. Pleae understand," he begged. I sighed,
"I get it, Gavin. You want a second chance at something that didn't work out the first time. People change. I know." I said.
"Thank you for understanding," he said,
"So that's it? Its over?" I asked, clearly knowing that answer. He didn't answer, just stood up and looked at me,
"Can we still be friends?" he asked, I looked up from my spot.
"I guess," I said, the pain beginning to show in my voice.
"Thank you." he said. There was a long moment of silence between the two of us before he spoke up again, "I'd better be going. I'm sorry Elizabeth," he said, kissing my cheek, before walking out. I heard the front door open and close again, and I listened as his car sped away. I sat there, struggling to breath, as the pain in my chest hurt so much. There were tears running down my cheeks and dripping onto my lap. I let all the tears flow as I hung my head and whimpered, refusing to let myself bawl like a little baby. I don't know how long I sat there crying, before my cell phone rang. I sniffed and picked it up on the third ring, not even bothering to look at the caller ID.
"Hello?" I said, trying not to let the person on the other end know I had been crying.
"Liz?" a male voice asked softly,
"Peter?" I asked in disbelief. Why was he calling me? I looked over at the clock. 1:30 am. And why was he calling at this hour?
"Liz, Your awake! Good! Stay awake! I'll be at your place in an hour-" and then the line went dead. What? Why was he coming here? And how would he get here in an hour? We were a seven hour drive apart. I hung up my end and set down my phone. I stood up and went to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror at the person who looked like complete shit right now. I dried my eyes with my palm and then reached for a tissue and blew my nose. I brushed out my hair and slowly made my way to the kitchen. I made myself a cup of coffee and went back to my room. I watched TV and waited for the supposed arrival of Peter. I couldn't help but cry some more over what had happened between Gavin and I.
An hour later there was a knock on the door. I made my way to the door and unlocked it. Peter was standing there leaning against the frame. I barley had a chance to move out of the way, before his arms had me in the tightest hug. I buried my face into his shirt, not wanting him to let go of me. I tried as hard as I could to hold back the tears. His arms let go of me and he looked me in the eyes,
"Are you ok?" he asked.
"Why would think-?" he cut me off,
"I heard what happened," he said gently, "He texted me and told me,". I looked at him with disbelief.
Peter's POV
Liz stared at me with a disbelieving face. Then her lips began to quiver and she inhaled sharply and started to sob. I pulled her back into a hug listened to her sob into my shirt. I rubbed her back and touched her hair gently with my other hand. I scooped her up, bridal style, and carried her to the living room. I set her down gently and sat next to her, she put her head against my shoulder as she cried more. I soothed her and rubbed her back. I eventually got her to calm down, and she looked up at me,
"Better" I asked. She nodded a little, "Do you wanna talk about it?" I asked. She sniffed,
"I guess," she said, "I-I just cant believe he left me," she said. "he said it wasn't my fault. But now... I just feel so unwanted," she continued, and then leaned against me again. I sighed,
"Liz, if it makes you feel any better...Jamie and I broke up too," I told her. She looked back up at my and wiped away a tear.
"Why? I thought you loved her?" she asked. I looked at her,
"I thought she love me, but she didn't. I was a pawn to get her ex boyfriend back. I found out and I broke up with her. I was devastated that she didn't even love me. But Liz, trust me. I know it hurts now, but it gets easier," I told her. I saw her smile a little bit.
"I'm sorry about you and Jamie," she said,
"It's ok. It doesn't matter. Its about you right now." I said,
"I just want someone to hold me, and tell me they loved me. I can never get that. Why does no one want me?" she said.
"Liz, there are people out there who want you. You just have to find them." I told her,
"Peter, I'm 38, I wanna get married, have kids. I had dreams that don't revolve around my career. I just wanna find that one person." she said. I lifted her chin to look at me.
"Then why didn't you call?" I asked her. She looked at me, confused,
"What do you mean?" she asked,
"Elizabeth, Do you not remember the last day of shooting? I said I loved you. And you wouldn't take me, unless I divorced my wife. I did. and I told you. But you didn't tell me anything," I said,
"Peter, I said you can talk to me after you get a divorce, but I didn't know if you wanted to be with me anymore, because you moved on," she retorted,
"And so did you,' I said back to her,
"Only because you did," she said back.
"Elizabeth, I wanna be with you, now more than ever. I know your going through a tough time and now may no be the best time to jump into something new, but please just consider it," I begged. She looked at me, wide eyed,
"Consider it!? Peter I've been considering it since the day you asked me, and I know I wanna be with you, now more than ever." she said
"So you do wanna go out with me?" I asked,
"Yes. I do. I love you," she said, wrapping her arms around me. I pulled her in, kissing her cheek,
"I love you too" I said.
