So you know how I thought just once, right before Peter kissed me? Well, apparently he took it seriously because it hasn't happened again and its been two weeks! Not only that, but he's avoiding me!
I mean, what am I supposed to do about that one? Drama, drama, drama. That's my life.
Finally, after those two weeks, I got sick of it. I waited until Niki was at work, then I went across the hall to Peters apartment.
He opened the door, then winced when he saw me standing there. "We need to talk." I told him. I walked into his apartment, ignoring the wild eyed look he gave me.
"Claire-"
"No." I broke in. "I don't care about what Niki, or Matt, or even Nathan think! I love you, and I don't want to hide it!"
Peter looked completely freaked out. "Claire, I'm your un-"
"Don't say it!" I yelled. He sighed and I lowered my voice. "Please Peter." I said it really softly.
He shook his head. "No Claire."
"But it doesn't have to be like a forever type thing!" I said, though that's exactly what I wanted. But if I could only have him for a short amount of time, that was better than nothing, right?
"Claire, we cant…"
I met his eyes. "Then we cant be anything. I cant be with you when I know nothing could ever come of it. We can either at least try to be together, or we cant be anything."
I stared at him. He looked at the ground ,then looked at me. His eyes betrayed his answer.
I stood hastily, "Fine." I walked out of the apartment, making sure to slam the door behind me. I sat in the hallway for a short amount of time, then Peter walked out the door. He looked at me, then grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet.
He opened his mouth, but I beat him to it. "I know." I said, kissing him softly. "Nobody needs to know."
