i'd be a fool not to love you

part sixteen - ben

"thank you so much mrs stacy, i'm so sorry i had to leave like this" i told gwens mum as i hurriedly got out of the car, which was parked on the end of my street.

"honestly sweetheart, don't worry about it. i hope you're okay, and everything else is okay"she smiled before adding "gwen honey, help olivia with her bags"

gwen got out of the car and lifted the bags

"i'm so sorry gwen. for ruining our sleepover"

"olivia. stop saying that." and she hugged me "there are more important things, plus we can have one whenever. i promise" and this time, i hugged her

"thank you for everything both of you" and i smiled and walked down towards my house

oh no.

outside of peters house were two police cars. through the window i could see may and jules hugging whilst drowning in tears.

i felt myself start to cry, but that's when i saw peter in his room, up against the door looking angry, guilty, upset. all normal feelings after loosing a loved one.

before knocking on the door, i looked at my watch. 00:04

i then knocked, and miles answered.

i immediately dropped my bags onto the floor and hugged miles tightly, he was crying, i was crying, everyone in that household was crying. well- apart from the police.

he then mumbled "come inside"

i picked up my bags and dragged them along with me, placing them just inside the door.

jonas ran to hug me and i hugged him back

"i'm so sorry" i cried

i then walked over to may and jules and they both hugged me tightly. it was extremely overwhelming

then peter messaged me.

come upstairs. P

"peter just told me to meet him upstairs.." i said, wiping tears from my face. i needed to pull myself together for peter, to be there for him

i looked at may and she gave me a nod of approval

i wandered up the stairs and i knocked on peters door

"hello?" i said and he opened the door.

i immediately hugged him, both of us crying.

and then he pulled away, and shut the door behind me

"you can't be here" he was wiping his tears now, trying to put on a brave face

"what..? pete what are you talking about?"

"i need you to leave. leave this house. now."

"peter what? what are you talking about?"

and he paused

"i don't want anything to do with you anymore." peter said.

i gulped, i couldn't believe what i was hearing. nor could i speak, i would choke on my words if i even tried.

"the reoccurring theme seems to be that everyone i care about gets hurt, because of me. but you wanna know what olivia? i don't care about you anymore. in fact i couldn't care less," he was crying even more now, "so good for you, looks like you won't be getting hurt." he was angry

"i- peter you can't mean that.." my eyes continuously filled with tears, i was deeply hurt

"oh i do. i mean every word of it. now leave."
what was going on with him? this wasn't him at all.

"olivia! time to go." jules called because the police were waiting.

i ran downstairs, tears streaming down my face. then i went outside, still crying but not saying a word.

when we got inside of jules' house she asked
"what happened?"

i put my hood up, and looked down "nothing." i sniffled

"did something happen between you and peter?"

"no. goodnight." i walked off upstairs to my room and then went to bed.

i feel asleep crying, i didn't know what was going on and how my whole world could change just like that.
