Chapter Playlist: Carry me On by Insurgent

Peter's hand wraps around the front side of my waist and my hand automatically grabs onto it. His face in the crook of my neck, and his breath moving against my skin.
Eyes open, I see Peter's dresser, lamp, closet, and desk in the room. We're in his room just laying together, waiting for sleep to take us, and a weight is somewhat off my shoulders.
Andrea Sanders,
Maria Sanders,
Brent Sanders,
and Micheal Sanders.
My family, all died at terrible causes, and Peter has helped me finally see the light. It isn't me fault, the weather was just terrible that day and events just pooled around me that I couldn't help. A driver lost control, and hit us into the mountain side. All of this caused a fire that consumed us. I was dragged from the car and given emergency medical care. It's not my fault.
Peter pulls me in tighter and whispers into my ear.
"Selena, Tell me about you family."
I sigh long and low, that's a subject I don't really choose to discuss.
"How about you tell me about your family?"
"After yours."
"My brother Micheal, was a troublemaker, always getting in trouble in school and cause mayhem for me at home. My Older sister Andrea, she was a bookworm, she always had a book in her hand, no matter the weather, location, or day. Andrea was quiet though, if she had a boyfriend, I wouldn't have known about him. My Mom, Maria."
I take in a shaky breath as I know that I won't see any of them anymore.
His lips land behind my ear and linger for a while, as if to say 'You can say it.'
"She was amazing. Mom would always get us what ever we wanted, so we were spoiled. Been rough without her."
"I can't imagine." Peter's support is really helping me.
"Dad, Brent, was a Mr. Right, If I made an accurate change in a plan, he'd automatically say 'oh no, this way is quicker.' I miss him, I miss all of them."
I've cried too many times, and I just want to keep going, being able to talk about it without crying.
"Your family sounds wonderful, Selena."
I roll over onto my other side and look into Peter's beautiful eyes.
"Tell me about yours."
"Well, it's kind of hectic, and a little spoiled over in my family. My Dad, Bernard, makes a million a year from his corporation. He's still dating Mom, I guess he feels that marriage is just a label like Being in a relationship. They love each other very much, and Mom's tried to convince him to just marry her. Mom, Lori, is someone I think you'll personally like. She's a lot like you, a fighter, and very beautiful. My little sister, Hailey, about thirteen now. She's incredibly entertaining, and a skilled cook. I swear, I think she makes the meals rather than Mom."
I smile widely as I imagine Peter's family, they sound lovely.
"And...I'd really like for you to meet them sometime."
"Okay, that sounds good to me."
In all reality, I was slightly freaking out, his family? He wants me to meet his family?! Oh no, no, no, I am no family girl, they'll absolutely hate me!
So I just nod and agree with my comforting words.
"Good." He smiles back.
His arm pulls me chest to chest with him and I can feel his heartbeat.
"Peter?"
"Yes?" His voice soft.
"Thank you."
"Anytime Sel."
