Chapter 11

Edward

"There you are!"

I forced myself to look away from Carlisle for the last time tonight. At least; in the way that I want to. Turning our heads as we made it near the line, Jasper waved at us from near the toilets.

"I didn't know whether to go or not, but now you're here, I can," Jazz said, smiling and giving me our greeting hand shake. "I've bought my ticket, so you guys can go get yours and I'll meet you in there, yeah?"

"Uh, okay," I replied as he walked off.

Carlisle shrugged and led the way to and through the line. "No love," he whispered into my ear as I pulled some money out. "I'm paying."

"Wha – Carlisle, no – "

"Don't deny me this, please. I want to." He smiled.

As we were next in line he didn't give me a chance to argue as he asked and paid, for our tickets. I let him though; it was what he wanted.

Just as girl handed him our tickets and he passed me mine, an unfamiliar voice called out, "Carlisle?"

Turning around, we both noticed a man standing a few feet away holding a large coke. Although I didn't recognise him, with his tanned skin, dark brown hair and green eyes, it seemed Carlisle did.

"Carlisle Cullen? Is that you?" he smiled broadly.

Smiling brightly is surprise, Carlisle shook his head lightly, "Peter White? I don't believe my eyes," he chuckled. I was forced to walk closer to this man, following slowly behind Carlisle. "My God, so many years it's been!" I watched in an agonised shock as my baby wrapped his arms around this man with such enthusiasm.

"And how well those years have treated you! You don't look a bloody day over twenty-five. Life is so unfair." The man, Peter, shook his head with a smile.

"Peter, you still look the same as I last saw you. If only just a little taller, and maybe more facial hair," Carlisle laughed.

Looking up to see Peter's face I noticed the light stubble across his cheeks and chin. The fact that he was rather good-looking did not go by me. In fact – and with a small sense of sadness – I realised he was quite, perfect looking really. As I watched them interact friendly, I grew more anxious. It wasn't until Peter mentioned that he and his boyfriend split up a few months ago, that I realised he was in fact gay as well.

It suddenly felt like a knife was lightly scratching at my heart.

Figuring the movie was going to start soon, and wondering how much longer Jazz would be, I cleared my throat quietly. Hearing me, Carlisle turned around; seemingly shocked that he'd forgotten about me.

Shaking his head with a little frown he gestured me closer to them, "I'm so sorry. Peter this is Edward. Edward, Peter," he motioned to each of us.

"Ah, is this the son you told me so proudly about a few years back?" Peter smiled and asked, unknowingly giving my heart a little stab with the knife. I hated our age difference; only because it made people assume that we couldn't possibly be together.

Looking away awkwardly I shook my head.

His smile faded as he looked to Carlisle for the answer. "No, sorry. He would still be in the bathroom, this is his best friend. We've all come to see the new Fast and Furious movie, um. Fast Five?"

"Really? That's awesome, I've come to see it too, and by myself I might add."

"Well," Carlisle said happily, "you're welcome to join us."

"Great," Peter smiled widely at us.

It hurt so much how beautiful his smile was.

Did Carlisle think him beautiful too?

Carlisle mentioned that Peter was an old college buddy as they walked towards the cinema, with me following behind them. Where the hell was Jasper? He was taking his fucking time.

As we walked in and looked for a seat, Carlisle was about to follow when Peter spoke up. "CC, let the boys sit separate; I'm sure they would rather not sit with the adults."

Carlisle nodded before giving me a small smile and following Peter. So what, he had a nickname for him?

Just as the trailers finished and the movie started, I received a message from Jasper.

Hey man, I didn't feel well and
went home. Really sorry but I'm
sure dad can drop you off after.
Come over tomorrow?
- J

Knowing I was going to be spending the whole movie by myself as Carlisle and Peter sat together a few seats in front, I wanted to leave right away.

Lifting my eyes to see Peter whisper in Carlisle's ear, followed by a loud, hearty laugh from him, I felt my heart drop.

Thanks for reading.
