Several weeks go by, his broken heart slowly mends over time, Pete spends most days hanging out with Christie, and the rest with Joe. He and Christie are becoming very close as friends, Christie is in love with Pete, but its starting to kill her inside because she can't tell him her feelings, for fear that, if he doesn't feel the same way about her, it will wreck thier friendship. Christie starts to become more and more depressed, Pete has no idea why, hes just been having fun being friends.
People, after a while start to treat Pete differently, in an unfriendly way, almost as if some, are afraid of him. Pete, however, is clueless as to why though. One day when Joe comes over to Pete's house, Joe tells Pete about a rumor he's just recently heard about Christie. It's not good. Joe tells Pete that Christie has been going around telling everyone that Pete raped Angelina, and tryed to rape her. Pete Says to Joe
"WHAT?!? I never did that. I would never do that. but wait..Christie said this? no...she wouldn't say something like that about me..."
and pauses for a moment and asks.."would she?"
Joe answers "not unless she was mad at you about something.."
Pete goes over to Christie's house to talk to her about what he's just heard. He knocks on her door, she answers the door. She notices pete has a confused and aggrivated look on his face and invites him inside. They both sit down on the couch, and he asks her
"Did i do somehting to make you mad? Did you tell everyone that I tried to rape you?????"
Christie looks at Pete, her eyes wide open in shock and says "NO! why on earth would you think I would say such an awful thing about you behind your back like that...who did you hear this from?"
Pete replys " Joe told me he heard it from someone at the cafe, I didn't think you would do that, but I didn't know who to believe."
Christie grabs Pete's hand, looks him in the eyes and says "I would never do that to you. I..." she pauses,
and Pete asks "you...what?"
Christie shyly replys "I love you"
They move closer, and closer, untill thier lips meet. They passionately kiss one another. And they start to go further than just kissing...But Pete begins to think about exactly whats happening, he stops, stands up, and says
"Oh my God...I'm so stupid. I actually believed you, This is exactly what you wanted me to do, you're trying to frame me. I cant believe you would do this."
Christie then says to Pete "No Pete..I didn't..I-"
And he interupts her and says "NO! I trusted you! and you stabbed me in the back. Some friend you are."
Pete abruptly goes home, leaveing a heartbroken and confused Christie sitting alone on the couch.
