"Thanks, Spinner," said Peter taking a brown paper bag on the bar.
"It's no prob dude. Just be careful with that stuff, don't drink it all in one night," said Spinner.
Peter went out of The Dot carrying the brown paper bag at his side casually. He use to do this all the time back before he moved and every once in a while up here. There was something about the situation though that reminded Peter of something. He just could figure out what it was. But Peter shook it off. Peter took out his cell phone and dialed a number that he had not dialed in over four years.
"Hello?" said Scott's voice.
"Hey it's me," said Peter getting into his car, "I got it."
"Nice! Where are we meeting?" asked Scott.
"Do you know where anything is?"
"Not really," laughed Scott.
"No worries. I'll pick you up," said Peter.
"What time?" asked Scott.
"Not sure probably around nine or ten," said Peter.
"Kay, see you then," said Scott ending in a click with him shutting his phone.
Peter put his phone in the cup holder and started his car. He stashed the bag underneath the passenger seat and pulled out of his parking spot. The question was what he will do in the meantime. That's when he remembered about Sav and Danny. Peter looked quickly behind him to see if the close was clear and pulled a U-turn and went back to the school.
By the time that Peter had arrived at the school Sav and Danny were already packing up their stuff. Peter walked into the music room and Danny and Sav looked at each and back to their instrument. Peter was hoping that he was not too late. Danny and Sav began unpacking everything. The next couple of hours were filled with them rocking out just as they had before he had done that one stupid mistake.
Seven o'clock at night came and Sav received a call from his parents wondering where he was. Sav instantly had to leave because he never told them that he was staying after school so late and Danny left after that. Peter realized that he then had to at least stop by his house so his mom would not go looking for him later on. Peter went into his house. His mother turned around from cooking and looked Peter directly in the eyes.
"Where've you been?" asked Peter's mom.
"Uh…Me, Sav, and Danny decided to jam after school," said Peter.
"I thought that was tomorrow?"
"We changed it today?" said Peter.
"And you didn't tell me why?" said Peter's mom.
"Sorry…I forgot," said Peter putting his head down.
"You forgot. You had all day to tell me…It doesn't matter. Just sit down, dinner's ready."
Peter dropped his backpack next to the door and sat down at the dining room table. His mother brought up brought over dinner in large bowl, spaghetti and meatballs, and then sat down too.
"So what happened at school?" asked Peter's mom.
"Nothing," said Peter, "You were there."
They took in a couple more bites of pasta and Peter made a comment. "Did you see whose going to be one of your students starting tomorrow?"
"Are you talking about Mr. Chase from back home?" asked Peter's mom.
"Yeah! Why didn't you tell me?" said Peter.
"Because I knew the kind of trouble that he used to get into," said Peter's mom, "And you would've found out tomorrow anyway."
"It's been four year, maybe he's changed," said Peter.
"I doubt it," said Peter's mom, "How did you find out about it anyway?"
"He IMed me last night and told me he was coming to Degrassi. I mean he didn't know that I lived here but I told him," said Peter.
"Well, I can't stop you from hanging out with him. Just use your head when you're with him. Okay?"
"I will," said Peter nodding his head, "You don't have to worry."
"And remember our deal," started Peter's mom. Peter instantly put his focus back on his dinner, "If you have one relapse, just one, you go to rehab."
"I know, all right. Why does everyone think that I'm going to go back to it? It's stupid."
"I'm not. I'm just saying be careful," said Peter's mom.
"Whatever," said Peter, stabbing his fork back into his dinner.
The dinner went on in silence until the very end. When Peter was finished with his meal and so was his mom, he took both of the plates and put them into the sink. Peter started to wash the plates and his mother got up and started to walk out of the kitchen.
"Hey mom," said Peter turning around to face her.
"Yeah?" she said turning around.
"I'm going out tonight, and probably be back late," said Peter.
"With who?" said Peter's mom. Peter hesitated to answer.
"With Scott," said Peter. Peter's mom went over to the table to sit down. Peter could tell she was not happy about it.
"And what, may I ask, will you two be doing?"
"We're just going to hang out. He wouldn't risk anything on his first night here. He's not that stupid," said Peter. Peter knew that he said the right thing cause his mothers shouldered relaxed.
"Fine," said Peter's mom, "I don't want you home late though."
"Deal," said Peter quickly, "Once I finish the dishes, I'm off."
Peter was finished cleaning the dishes five minutes later and grabbed the left past and meatballs bowl and wrapped it up. The next moment he grabbed his keys and left the house. When he put the keys in the ignition he dialed Scott's cell phone number and told him he would pick him up in fifteen minutes.
