Lauren's POV

I shut the door behind Whitney as she departed from my house, I turned and walked back into the lounge and sat down on the sofa. It was that exact moment when I realized that the boy I saw almost two hours again easily could have been the boy I fell inlove with nearly four years ago. I was starting to remember the days when he'd hold me in the way I'd like, the kisses he placed on my head, the way I held his fingers. It was all to much. Was I missing him?

No Lauren!

I heard a knock at the door, so I decided to get up from the sofa and look out the window. It was him, I let go of the curtain gently and walked out to the hall to get the door. I opened it and stood in the doorway.

"All along I knew that you knew it was me" He smiled, taking off his sunglasses revealing two slightly purple eyelids. My blue eyes widened, someone had hurt him.

I gestered he came in, he took it greatfuly as I shut the door and guided him towards the kitchen.

"Who did that to you?" I asked, handing him a glass of water.

"Oh it was a couple of days ago, Lucy's ex. Nothing to worry about" He told me, taking the glass from me and taking a sip.

I nodded unsure of wheather he was telling me the truth.

"Pete?"

He looked up. "Mm"

"I missed you"

He smiled, putting his glass on the table.

"I missed you too Lozz" He pulled me into a hug. "But I can't forget the pain you put me through"

I sighed.

It was nice to have him as my best friend and I wanted to keep it that way.


Peter's POV

It was easy just calling her my best friend, I found that nicer.

We sat together on the sofa, her tending to my eyes.

"Lozz?"

"Mm"

"In devon, I sorta met someone and got a job" I told her.

She took the cloth of my eye and smiled. "I'm happy for you"

She was clearly lying.

"Your not" I dug into her.

"No honestly I am. What's her name?"

"Autumn"

"How's Luce?" She asked, obviously wanting to change the subject that I'd moved on.

"Oh she's fine, pregnant. But fine"

"Pregnant?"

"Yeah, six months"

"She didnt look it"

I laughed slightly. "She dosent"

"I sorta had to give up my wild ways when I was away to look after her"

"Wild ways?" Lauren stood up and put the cloth and bowl of water on the table before coming to sit back down again.

"Yep. I was a bit of party animal in Devon. I did drink, drugs, smoking the lot. But I regret it now, I gave up straight after I found out Luce was pregnant"

"How did you give up the drugs so quick?" She asked, taking my hand.

"It was tough but I had to do it, for Luce's sake. There was no one else to take care of her, Nan was ill so I just had to" I squeezed her hand to assure that I was ok.

"What about Autumn?"

"What about her?"

"Did she y'know object to all this?"

I sighed. "Well...she was there from start to finish. She was there when you dumped in January last year and she stuck by me"

"You cheated on her with Whitney?"

"No god no! It wasnt like that! She understood, shes over in Devon and I was here. She knew that my heart truly belonged to her"

"Oh"
