Pete's point of view:


I sighed as I looked out at the Los Angeles skyline from the balcony attached to Beth's apartment. I raised my glass and took a long drink of the whiskey that filled it. I closed my eyes and wished anyone but Wendy woulda found me in that park. I knew she could be in danger now. If beth knew that I had been in contact with her, she was dead. I bit my lip when I heard the sound of beth's heels on the hardwood floor as she made her way towards me. My stomach turned as she slid her arms around me. I turned away and took another drink.

"Are you glad your home baby?" she whispered
I stared into my drink and thought to myself how this place with her would never be home. The only home I had was with Wendy. anywhere with Wendy was my home. I was taking to long to answer her and she grabbed my glass out of my hands and threw it off the balcony.

"I'm talking to you peter" she said in a stern tone
"Yes Bethany, I'm thrilled to be here with you and I can't hardly wait until you kick me out again and send your fucking brothers to find me and beat the shit out of me." I yelled as I walked to the other end of the balcony and glared at her.

"You deserve it, every time they lay a hand on you, you fucking deserve it" she screamed back at me

"Yeah, well they tried to kill me this time" I replied angrily

"Your overreacting, they did not, they just got a little carried away." she smirked "you wouldn't have died from that little amount of heroin anyway, it was just enough to make you sick"
I looked back at her and felt sick to my stomach. I hated her with everything I had in me, but if I left her, Wendy would be killed. This is the reason I never went to find Wendy, this was the reason I had to tell Wendy I had a girlfriend.
"Your fucking sick" I mumbled as I walked past her and into the apartment. I grabbed my jacket and headed out the door, ignoring her yelling about me leaving and ignoring the feeling I had that things were just gonna go downhill from here.

I sighed as I found myself crossing the park heading towards Wendy's apartment. I was afraid of this, I knew that once I found out where she lived I wouldn't be able to stop myself from going to her. She was the other half of me. She was the reason I was breathing, how could I stay away from her.
It had started to rain lightly as I reached her door. I looked around to see if I had been followed before knocking on her door softly.
When she opened it I looked up at her nervously before she invited me in. A few moments later I sat awkwardly in the living room in nothing but my boxers and a blanket as she dried my wet clothes in the dryer. She walked in and handed me a cup of tea and sat across from me.
"Tell me what happened that night and these past three years" she said bluntly.
I nodded and cleared my throat to begin, after all she had a right to know.

"That night I made you leave me, I shot Anthony and Danny. I waited a few hours to see if anyone else was coming before I went out to find you. As soon as I got outside I was pulled into a car and taken to a house where the rest of the boys of the family took turns trying to get me to tell them where you were, of course they never got it out of me but I did make a deal with them. When Angelo's niece came back to town I would be hers, I would do whatever she wanted, kill who she wanted killed, steal what she wanted stolen. You name it, I had to do it. In exchange I got them to leave you alone. When Angelo agreed to this and then went back on it, and I found out he was having you followed and that he had threatened you, I was gonna kill him, the night I was gonna do it beth kicked me out and her brothers caught up to me and beat the shit out of me, that's who the two guys were in the park that night."

I looked over to see if she was still listening and she was so I continued
"if beth finds out that I've found you, she'll kill you. She has no idea the extent of what we have between us or how much I love you" I came closer to her and sat beside her "she doesn't know shit about that, or about how no matter what I was doing or where I was, all I thought of was you." I looked into her eyes searching them for any type of emotion as I waited for her to speak.
"I don't wanna lose you again..." she whispered before she pressed her lips to mine.
I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her body against mine. I continued to kiss her roughly before picking her up and carrying her to her bedroom. I laid her softly on the bed and laid over her. She looked up at me and her green eyes could of burned a hole right through me. I swallowed hard before I pulled her shirt over her head and threw it to the floor. She laid under me in nothing but pajama shorts and I kissed her nose before leaning back and sliding those down with her underwear. I leaned back down and kissed her in the slowest softest way I could while my hands traveled her body taking in her familiar curves and soft skin. She shivered beneath me as my fingertips grazed over her thighs as then ran in between her legs. I deepened our kiss and slowly slid my fingers inside her. She arched her back against me and I pressed them into her harder. My heart was pounding wildy and I couldn't stop kissing her. I moved my lips from her mouth to her neck and her collarbone. She moaned out my name softly and I couldn't wait anymore. I had to have her now. My body wanted her so bad it hurt. I pulled my fingers out of her and quickly pushed my boxers down before sliding into her slowly. I buried my face in her neck as she let out a soft gasp and I moaned her name softly. I took a deep breath before beginning to move in and out of her slowly. As we continued to move together in the dark I tried to note every moan and every whisper. I tried to remember every time she came, and every time she called out my name. I wanted every detail of this to be permanently stuck in my mind. When I woke up the next morning she was still asleep beside me. I smiled and thought of how perfect this was, even if just for the moment. I got up quietly to go to the bathroom I thought I had managed to not wake her but when I came out I saw her sitting up in bed and smiling at me. I smiled and opened my mouth to speak but I saw a red masquerade mask sitting on her dresser. My mind flashed back to the night I went to that party to make a deal with a club owner for beth. I remembered that red mask with those small black hearts that outlined the outside.
"Oh my god, it was you..." I whispered as I went to the dresser and picked it up.
He eyes widened and she blinked a few times before attempting to speak. "The entire time I was pretending it was you" she mumbled
I smiled and closed my eyes "I was doing the same thing" I went back to her and sat beside her on the bed. I didn't want to go but I had to before beth sent "them" out to find me. I explained to her and reluctantly got up and got dressed. I promised to come back soon and then made my way back to beth's.
