I didn't go back to sleep. I stayed awake just in case I didn't wake up in time. My mum had come in to say goodbye before she went to work like I had expected that she would and I got out of my pyjamas and got dressed and did my hair and make up. I did it as quietly as I could so that I did wake Cody up. Wrote him a note to say that I had gone for a walk and that there were leftovers in the fridge that he could heat up if he got hungry. I put on my jacket and quietly closed the door behind me. I let out a big sigh of relief as I walked down the driveway.

It was already nine so I text Alli to say that I'd be fifteen minutes. While I walked I thought about how much school that I've missed this week. I've missed more this week than I have since the start of the year. I wondered whether Peter was right. I've really changed since Cody has been here. In every aspect. No. I'm not going to let him get the better of me.

I was almost at Alli's house, I passed by a bench at the side of the footpath and on it was a couple about my age or maybe a year or two older. They looked so cute together. I started to imagine me and Cody doing that. Acting all cuddly, my legs over his lap, he would kiss my nose and I would giggle as a response. He would continue to tease me by kissing my hands, my cheek, my forehead until he finally got to my lips. He would kiss me passionately and I would get lost in the world of us.

I snapped out of my daydream as I walked up to Alli's house and rang the doorbell. While I waited I realised that my daydream was just that. A daydream. It was never going to happen and that made me feel disappointed. Alli opened the door pulling me out of my thoughts.

"Hey" she said and hugged me. "How are you?"

"I'm good" I replied trying to believe it. "Sorry I'm late"

"Oh yeah you said you'd tell me why when you got here so...What's up?" she asked with a worried smile. We walked into the living room where she had a duvet on the sofa. She must still be 'sick'...she doesn't look sick to me. We both sat down on the sofa facing each other. I took my shoes off and swung them under the duvet.

"The sky" I winked at her.

"Smart Arse" she laughed "No really what happened?"

"Cody broke his wrist this morning" I said slowly so that she wouldn't freak. She stayed silent, this was not the reaction I was expecting.

"Was he drunk?" She asked sceptically.

"Oh no! He ahhh...he fell out of my bed while we slept..." I said my cheeks yet again getting red.

"Is he okay? How did he fall out of your bed? Wait. You and Cody?" she asked confused.

"Yeah he's fine. He's at home sleeping cause he's knackered. I don't know how he fell out cause I was asleep too and umm...no me and Cody are just really good friends." He replied to all of her questions.

"Is there a hiding meaning to 'really good friends'?" she asked.

"No. It means what it means...kind of..." I said my cheeks were burning still.

"Then why is he in your bed at night? Toni if he's taking advantage of you I will be over there like a shot" she said anger clearly shown in her features. "What do you mean kind of?"

"No he's not don't worry He's like my best friend now" I said meaning it "And well he's kind of seen me naked..."

I cringed away from her face. She burst out laughing. I stayed quiet and she stopped.

"Wait...you're being serious." She asked shock clear on her face.

"Yes. Now can we move on to your plan about Peter please?" I said trying to change the subject. She happily changed the subject.

"Well I was thinking that you and I could do a little snooping around but there's one problem." She said. I wasn't going to like this. "You going to have to pretend to forgive him so that we can get info out of him."

I stayed silent. What did I think about that? I didn't want to have to speak to him. I didn't want to have to act nice towards him after everything he has done to me even after years of friendship. He just let it all go. But...if it means that I get t know what it is he is up to I suppose I could play along for a day or two.

"I guess so..." I sighed. If we it means we find out then yes.

"Well You could pretend to make up with him. Tell him that you think Cody is a jerk and that the was right all along and then ask to go out somewhere and tell him that you've found the perfect girl for him and that's where I come in. We can all go out, you take him off somewhere and say that you don't think I will be as good for him as you thought so that you don't hurt my feelings. Make sure he eaves his phone behind and I'll cheek his messages to see if he has said anything in them which i'm betting that he has. Sound good?" she asked.

"I have to give it to you Alli. You're not a bad plan maker." I smiled at her but inside I was dying. I didn't like the thought of having to face that creep.

"I know I'm too good" she winked.

"I'll text Peter and see what he says" I sighed.

"Okay. I'm just going to put a movie in" she said and got up from underneath the duvet.

To Peter: Hi Peter, I just want to say how sorry I am for acting like such a jerk. I've realised that you're right. Cody only wants one things and I've told him to leave me alone. I don't need someone like him in my life. I'm glad I've got a friend like you to look out for me even if I didn't listen at first. I'm sorry, hope you'll forgive me? 3

"Let me see..." Alli sat back down in front of me, I showed her the message and see read it slowly. "He's an idiot of he doesn't 'forgive you'.

From Peter: I forgive you Toni and I'm sorry for acting like a Jerk too. I knew that Cody was bad news from the start but I went about the wrong way. Xo.

To Peter: It's okay. By the way I've made friends with this girl called Alli. I think she'd be perfect for you ;) x

From Peter: Really? I'll have to meet her then. ;)

To Peter: How about we meet tomorrow at the Big O after school?

From Peter: Sure I can't wait :D

To Peter: Great she can't wait too :L see you tomorrow. Love ya bye 3

It made me sick to the stomach while I was texting him. I look up to see that Alli has fallen asleep. I write her a note to say that I've left and where to meet us tomorrow. I left for the walk back home wondering how I'm going to cope.
