Joey stared and Lauren turned around to face the noise "Did you hear that?" she asked "It was probably just the wind" Lauren shook her head "Someone heard us...what if it was Peter?" Lauren began to panic "Relax nothing happened we were just having a conversation" he replied "No you told me you loved me!" She argued "You didn't say it back!" he laughed "Ohhh, oh yeah I didn't" Joey stared at her confused and smiled "So who's going in to see if it was him or not?" Lauren stared "I say you should go in first" Joey rolled his eyes and walked in front of her he approached the door and took a deep breath before opening it he opened it slowly and looked around as he walked in he sighed a sigh of relief seeing Peter still asleep, "Well?" Lauren whispered "It weren't him" he smiled Lauren walked in and smiled "That was close" she replied "Too close" he corrected she smiled at him and lay in the bed beside Peter, Joey smiled at her before they both fell into a deep sleep.
Joey was first one up he sat up and thought about the previous night, they didn't do anything but he still felt guilty if only Lauren would tell Peter she didn't love him anymore, so he could be with her without feeling guilty he stared across the room as Peter's eyes opened "Morning mate" he smiled "Hey Joe don't you have class today?" he asked "Nah i've dropped out , I forgot to go to registration last week so... yeah" he replied "You are so like her you know that?" he joked "Oh Pete I think she's in a league of her own" he smiled following him into the kitchen "Hey Lauren's out tonight why don't we have a lads night...just us!" Peter smiled "Oh you mean the one we were to have two weeks ago?" Peter glared and then nodded "Sounds great" Joey smiled "Right then that's sorted...oh and wake sleeping beauty in there breakfast is almost ready!" Joey nodded and walked to Lauren "Oi! Boozy wake up!" he joked "That nickname again? Really Joey?" she huffed "Sorry I promise I won't call you that anymore" She smiled at him and climbed out of bed "Morning babe" smiled Peter giving her a kiss "Someone's cheerful" she observed "I am! Because I have both of you and that's all that matters right? Poor Lucy she didn't have anyone but me and dad, I mean she had you sort of Lauren but you know she never got over you punching her, and Joey well you dated her briefly but nothing worked out for Lucy, it's a shame really" Joey stared at Lauren "You punched her?" Lauren stared at Joey "You dated her?" They both stared as Peter walked back into the kitchen "He's acting weird" Lauren reported "He's fine" re-assured Joey "I think he knows" Joey stared at her "You think too much" Peter then re-joined them at the table "Let's eat!" he exclaimed, Lauren and Joey exchanged confused looks to one another.
Lauren was in the bathroom getting ready when Peter walked in "You're lucky i'm not in the shower!" she smiled, Peter didn't say anything he began to kiss her neck "Peter I'm trying to get ready" she replied he didn't answer and continued to kiss her "Peter stop please!" she begged pushing him off her, she figured he wasn't going to leave so she decided to leave the bathroom and walked out to find Joey lying in a pool of blood she screamed and turned around to Peter about to stab her with the knife
Lauren sat up gasping for her breath she had fallen asleep and had a nightmare "Are you okay?" asked Joey walking over to her "Joey this has to end...tonight!" she replied sternly, Joey nodded "I'll tell him tonight" Lauren smiled at him and stared at her phone "Oh I better get ready" she stood up and walked into the bathroom when Peter walked in, Lauren's heart was racing "Hey, are you okay I heard you gasping in there?" he asked Lauren smiled at him "It was nothing I just had a bad dream" Peter nodded and walked out "Lauren didn't tell you what the nightmare she had was?" he asked walking over to Joey "No sorry mate" he answered "Must be something bad to spook her like that, you know she looked terrified when I walked in" Joey shrugged "Your guess is as good as mine mate" Joey stared around "I'm going to go get booze for us" he replied "There's some in the fridge" Joey shook his head "Lauren and I kind of got into that" he smiled "Alright go on!" Joey smiled "See ya in a bit" Peter smiled and walked over to the bed he sat down and sighed, Lauren walked out and Peter stared at her "You look amazing babe" he smiled kissing her "Why thank you" she smiled "The boys will be all over you tonight...tell them you have a boyfriend they don't want to mess with!" he replied "You're about as scary as a puppy" she smiled walking towards him "You haven't seen me when i'm angry...that puppy turns into a wolf" he smiled "Wolves are still really cute" Peter nodded "That's why I chose that one" Lauren smiled and shook her head and kissed him "See you later, enjoy your night with Joey" she smiled walking out "Oh I will" he replied , he closed the door behind her and waited for Joey to come home he turned on the TV and flicked through the channels he left it on the news and sighed.
The door opened a few minutes later, Peter smiled "Hey where do you want this Pete?" he asked walking through the door "In the kitchen!" he pointed, Joey nodded, Peter followed him "Place was packed Pete, I didn't realise how many people wanted to drink on a Sunday." Joey turned to face him when his face was met with a fist, the impact sent him to the floor he checked to see if his nose was bleeding, Peter stood over him with a fierce look in his eye "What the hell mate?" he yelled looking at the blood on his hand, Peter grabbed him by his collar "Stay away from Lauren!" he snarled menacingly letting him drop to the floor
