Chapter 13

Carlisle

I couldn't believe my eyes when I turned to see who had called out my name. I felt like for a moment I was in an alternate universe. It was Peter. Peter White from college.

My heart beat rapidly as I realised it was definitely him. He hadn't changed a bit.

All through college and our residency, I had had a huge crush on him. We both knew the other was in fact gay, but he'd always had a boyfriend; he was never available, and I never had the guts to tell him my feelings back then.

I was honest when I tell him besides his slight stubble and growth spurt, he hasn't much changed.

When Edward clears his throat, I am shocked that I'd forgotten he was standing right there. Guilt swells inside of me as I start introductions. But of course, Peter assumes Edward is in fact my son.

As my baby doesn't know what to say – and I realise he is definitely uncomfortable in this situation – I hastily explain that he is in fact my son's friend, whom is in fact still in the bloody toilet.

Where the hell was he?

I hoped he was alright.

When Peter informs us that he has come to see the same movie by himself, I offer for him to join. I knew I wanted to catch up with Peter, see how life was treating him.

Knowing that Jasper would soon be joining Edward, I agreed that we sit separate. That's what adults did right? If they went to see a movie with their kids, they would sit separate?

Not really knowing how this worked, I just smiled slightly at my love before following Peter to another sit a few rows in front. And while the previews played I was completely absorbed in Peter. He told me how when he found his boyfriend – of twelve years – cheating on him; he dumped him, kicking him out of their house. I guessed he was trying to lighten the mood, leaning into my ear to tell me how he had humiliated him in front of the whole neighbourhood; locking him out and throwing all of his shit off the balcony.

"It was quite funny actually," he said with a laugh, "In a rage, I kicked them both out of the house, and one of our neighbours, this nice elderly lady – Martha – came running out with her broom, telling them to, 'leave poor Peter alone, or I'll sweep your sorry asses to Timbuktu!'"

I laughed loudly, picturing the whole scene.

"How 'bout you, you got someone special these days?" Peter asked me.

Ducking my head and then looking up at the movie screen I quickly deliberated. Do I tell him my situation? Do I tell him I'm not seeing anyone? Do I admit I am taken but don't explain?

Figuring to tell a little of the truth, I settled with, "Yeah. I've found him Paw," I whispered quietly.

Back in college during one of our rowdy party nights, we'd given each other drunken nicknames and they'd stuck. 'CC' was obviously my initials, and 'Paw' was Peter's. Peter Adam White.

"Really? You've found him? You mean, the 'one'?" he asks, half amused half serious.

"I have." My determined response seems to shock him.

"Well fuck. I need to meet the bugger who's got you wrapped around his finger."

Smiling to myself I chuckle quietly, "Maybe you will, one day…" knowing he's already met him, he just doesn't know it yet.

Knowing the movie has started, I turn slightly and notice that Edward's head is down, looking at his phone. But the second thing I realise is that Jasper still isn't back yet. Confused, my brows furrow together. Was he still in the fucking bathroom? Maybe I should go check…

"Who do you thinks hotter?" Peter asks with his head bent close to mine, his ice blue eyes staring into mine, "Vin Diesel or The Rock?"

Laughing lightly I continue to look at him as I ponder.

"I can't decide. I think I'm more attracted to The Rock, but Vin's voice is so fucking sexy," I say before adding, "However, I've found that I'm not really into the big muscles…"

His chuckle added with a wink makes me blush. I'm not sure why.

Looking back to check on my boys, my eyes widen. What the fuck was going on? Now Edward wasn't there anymore.

"Hey, I'll be right back," I say to Peter, "Just going to check on the boys."

He nods as I make my move.

Making my way towards the toilets to see if Edward had gone to check on Jasper, I notice a boy with familiar coloured hair – unique really, like a penny – walking out of the cinema exit. Jogging after them, sure that it was Edward; I'm too late.

Opening and walking through the door, my eyes only find him after he has reached a vehicle I don't recognise, and hops in. With the driver reversing and peeling out of the car park, I am left stunned.

Why had Edward left me here?

In shock and confusion I start to walk back into the cinema when I receive a message on my phone.

Jasper left 'cause he wasn't
feeling well. I've asked a friend
to pick me up, so don't worry.
Have fun with Peter.

With his clipped sentences and lack of kisses, I know in my heart he is hurt. Was it because I was talking to Peter? Because I'd chosen to sit next to him instead of all together? Did he – no.

He didn't think I – no.

I refused to believe Edward doubted my feelings for him. He wouldn't be worried about Peter, would he?

Reading over the message again, I knew he was. He was hurt that Peter had taken my attention away from Edward. Lord! He probably thought him more important than Edward, that I'd forgotten him!

Ultimately, anger coursed through my body at myself, as I realised my actions had forced him away and into someone else's care. Someone whom I knew had not been female. Someone whom I knew was not Jasper.

God. What have I done?

All mistakes are my own and I apologise if there are any.

Thanks for reading.
