I walked in to my office and called Pete. The phone just rang and rang. Finally just as I decided to hang up, someone answered the phone.
“Hello?” I knew it wasn’t Pete’s voice
“Hi, it’s Adriana. Is Pete around?” I said
“Yeah, he is here but he doesn’t really want to talk….”
“Listen Joe, I really need you to put him on the phone.”
“If you are going to upset him more, I’m not giving him the phone.”
“If I’m going to upset him are you serious, he’s the one who upset me. You know what I’m not getting into this with you, just put Pete on.” I half yelled.
I heard Joe tell Pete I was on the phone. I heard rustling and then the phone hung up in my ear.
I guess we were over, Pete didn’t even want to hear what I had to say to him.
I walked back out to the sales floor with tears in my eyes.
“What happened?” Justina said
“He didn’t even want to talk to me, Joe picked up and I talked to him then he handed the phone to Pete and he hung up. I don’t even know what to do.”
“Well Adriana, this is kinda your fault. You are the one who kicked him out and didn’t believe what he was telling you. He has given you no reason to believe he would hurt you like that.” Taryn added
“Yeah but considering how we got together, I don’t know what to think. He may have seen something in her that he liked more than me.” I said
“Oh please. You need to stop thinking like that and stop making this his fault until you find out the truth. Even Justina said she didn’t think it was Pete who initiated the kiss.” Taryn stated
“Yeah but did she see him try to stop it?”
Everyone was silent. “Yeah that’s what I thought.”
After a few minutes of selling, Justina walked up to me. “Now that I think of it Addie, I see Pete with his palms on Rayna’s shoulders pushing her away. Maybe you should talk to Rayna about this. Go home and we will take of the store until 7, it’s only an hour left.”
“Thanks girls, I will see you later. Come over after you close he shop.” I said and walked outside to hail a cab.
When I got home, Rayna was on the phone laughing with her friend or whoever. I heard he say, “Yeah, I did it again” and then laugh some more. That was all I needed to hear. I walked over to her grabbed the phone out of her hand and hung it up.
“We need to talk.” I demanded
“About what, I already told you everything that happened.” She said in a nasty tone.
“For some reason I don’t believe you anymore. Maybe it was the comment on the phone or it could have been the fact that a friend of mine saw what happened. You better come clean now.”
“I already told you that after we did karaoke, Pete grabbed me, pulled me into my room, started to make out with me and then moved it over to bed. I tried to stop him but it didn’t work.”
“Hmmm, it’s funny how your story changed. Last night you told me that he just pulled you to the bed and started to kiss you. Why is now that he made out with you then pulled you to the bed? What are you trying to pull?” I asked
“Nothing, I was drunk last night so I must have gotten the details mixed up.”
“Ummhmm, so if you were standing and making out, why didn’t you push him away and come out to the party?”
“He was a good kisser and I was drunk. Sorry.” She said and started to walk away.
I grabbed her by the hair and pulled her back to where we were.
“Tell me the fucking truth.” I screamed
“You really want the truth, fine. He is too good for you. You are ugly and bitchy. I deserve him, two hot people should be together. I liked him, so I went for it, I didn’t care whose boyfriend he was, not even yours.” Rayna said calmly.
“Really.” Was all I said before I punched her straight in the face.
It turned into an all out war, we were punching, kicking, scratching, pulling hair.
I had her on the floor choking her when the door bell rang. I decided to ignore it but whoever it was must have heard our yelling and walked in.
“Chick fight” I heard and turned around. I saw all the guys except Pete, and Justina, Taryn, and Luciana. Just as I was about to turn back, Rayna punched me and knocked the wind out of me. She got up and walked into her room. I got up and walked into the bathroom to clean the scratches on my face. When I walked back out everyone was still silent. I sat down at the table with them, and they all just stared at me. It was silent for about 5 minutes before I started to speak.
“I made a huge mistake.” I said and started to cry.
“You need to talk to him and tell him.” Patrick said.
“I can’t, I feel so stupid. I’m just gonna leave him alone. I have caused him nothing but drama anyway.”
“That’s not going to fix anything because you are both going to mope around all the time, we are not going to be able to hang out with you guys together because it will be weird. It’s going to cause so much more drama than you just talking to him.” Taryn said
“It will be hard but we will get through it, Pete and I are adults. We can be in the same places together and not cause trouble. His life will be better without an ugly bitch.” I said crying harder.
“You’re being really hard on yourself. And whoever said you were and ugly bitch couldn’t be more wrong.” Joe said
“Aww that was really sweet. Thank you. I know Pete doesn’t want to talk to me, so can you please tell him what I have decided.” I asked the guys.
“But you didn’t tell us what you decided.” Andy said
“Yes I did. We shouldn’t be together, at least not now.” I said getting up.
“SIT DOWN” Justina yelled at me.
“Ok. What do you want? I really have no more to say.”
“We have more to say so you are going to listen. First of all, you are going to kick Rayna out of this apartment. Second, we told Pete he can’t live with us because we all decided to share the house when you 2 were moving in...”
“What?” I interrupted Tayrn
“The rent is cheaper and these guys are fun. Back to you. So Pete is going to live here with you in the spare room. Whether or not you decide to be friends, go out, or hate each other is up to you. That is how our plan will go and if you really hate it after a while, we will figure something out. Don’t ask questions.” Taryn finished.
“OK, no. Pete can not live here. That will be so hard.” I protested
“Shh. He will be here with some of his stuff in an hour so get your sister out now.” Joe said.
I just sat there and looked at them.
“GO” They all yelled.
I got up to tell Rayna that she should be out of the house in 40 minutes.
*Regular POV*
“Do you think this will really work?” Justina asked
“It has too. It’s perfect, they will realize they love each other and things will be normal.” Taryn said
“Yeah, but Pete will be stubborn for at least a few days.” Andy said
“So will Adriana.” Justina replied
“They are so alike it’s scary.” Joe said
“Shh, she is coming out” Luciana said
*Adriana’s POV*
“So, she will be out of here in a few minutes. This sucks, I really hate you guys.”
“Well, there is no room for Pete in the house anymore. Your place was his only option.” Patrick stated
Just then Adriana walked past us and to the door.
“You are making a huge mistake Addie.” Rayna said and walked out the door.
“Was that a threat? Because I really think you could take her especially from what I saw before.” Andy said
We all laughed, even me.
“Pete will be here in about 25 minutes so maybe we should go.” Justina said
“Umm, you will not leave, at least not until he is settled because I will be in my room.” I said.
“No you wont” Taryn said
“Yes I will.”
This went on until the door opened.
“Umm the door bell would be nice.” I said seeing Pete walk in.
“Why? This is my place too.” He replied in the same nasty tone I used. “I don’t know why you are so nasty, you are the one who fucked this up.”
“Don’t even start. Your room is on the left. Oh wait, you already know that.”
“Not by choice.” He said sadly.
“You better be nice to him especially since you know this isn’t his fault.” Patrick said.
“I know it’s not but I can’t help being upset.”
They all got up and took a bag of Pete’s and brought it into his room.
“Ok well all of Pete’s stuff is in his room so we are gonna go.” Joe said
“Slick guys, whatever. See you tomorrow at the shop girls.”
“Tomorrow is Sunday, the shop is closed and we are all busy so spend the day with Pete or something.” Justina said with a smile.
“You guys suck.” I said and they left.
I sat on the couch and started to watch TV when Pete walked out of his room and into the kitchen. He took leftovers out of the fridge and started to warm them up. Once they were done, Pete came in the living room and sat down next to me.
“There is no eating in the living room.” I said plainly
“Now there is.” He said and continued eating.
“Fine. Just don’t leave a mess behind.” I said and continued watching TV.
After about an hour of watching TV, I decided to go to bed.
“Good-night” I said
“Yep” Pete replied.
I woke up at 1:30 to loud laughter and music. I walked out of my room with my hair a mess in my boy shorts and tank top. I saw Pete in the kitchen with about 5 other people who I have never met before.
“What is going on here?” I said rudely.
“I’m having people over to show them my new place.” Pete said
“Yeah, well shut the fuck up because I’m trying to sleep.”
“Wow Pete, your girlfriend is rude.” Some guy said.
“Are you kidding me? You are going to disrespect me in my home.”
“Addie, go inside.” Pete said
“Wow, you’re a dick.”
“And you have a filthy mouth.” He said making all of his friends laugh.
As I was walking away I heard Pete call me a stupid whore. I just kept walking into my room. Once there, I cried myself to sleep.
The next morning I woke up at 11 to find the house a complete mess. I walked straight into Pete’s room.
“Get the fuck up and start cleaning this house, I do not live like this.” I said
“Get the fuck out of my room.” Pete replied
I pulled all the blankets off of him, and pulled him by his legs out of the bed. Or at least I tried to pull him.
“I’M UP. DAMN IT.” He yelled.
“Good, now go clean.” I said sweetly.
I walked out of his room into the kitchen and sat down at the table with a bowl of Special K. Pete walked out and started to clean his mess.
“So you are just going to sit there and watch me clean?” He said
“Yep, I didn’t help make the mess so I’m not helping you clean it.” I replied
“You really embarrassed me last night by being so rude.”
“Yeah well you hurt me by calling me a stupid whore.”
“You weren’t supposed to hear that.”
“Well I did.” I said and continued to eat my cereal.
After that neither of us said anything until Pete was finished, then he broke the silence.
“We have to figure out a way to make these living arrangements work.” He said
“Do have any ideas, because stupid whores don’t really have big brains.” I replied.
“Are you going to bring that up forever?”
“Whatever, what did you have in mind?”
“Well, my friends and I like to hang out late because I don’t work until later in the day, but you have work early in the morning.”
“Your point?”
“Well, on nights when I have people over, you can go stay with the girls.”
“NO! This is my place Pete, you can not make me leave because you want people over.”
“Well then sleep with ear plugs.”
“Wow, you can’t be serious. I can so make you go look for your own place Pete. How about you just have some respect and tell me when you are having people over and I will sleep with head phones on.”
“That’s a good idea, I can’t believe I didn’t think of that.”
“I guess stupid whores are smarter than you think.”
“Again with the comment? Can’t you let it go, I didn’t mean it.”
“Oh, so you said it to impress your friends.”
“Ye..NO. Seriously can you just forget about it.”
“Not until you apologize.”
“Well, I’m sorry then.”
“Half assed but better than nothing.” I said under my breath.
“I heard that.”
“Good.”
“Listen, I’m sorry. I feel bad for saying it and for making you feel bad. Forgive me?”
“Fine, but please don’t let it happen again.”
“So what are you doing today?”
“I’m working on a suit, it has to be ready in a week.”
“Ok well, I’m going to work on some music in the living room.”
“I do all my work in the living room, so you should use the rec room.”
“I want to work in there because it has a nice view of the city, it’s inspiring.”
“That’s why I work out here, sorry.”
“So we can share the room stop being so stubborn.”
“Your noise will distract me.”
“I’m staying out here so get over it.”
“Fine. I give up because everything is and argument with you. I will work in the rec room. Later.”
*Pete’s POV*
I had to call Patrick because these living arrangements were driving me crazy.
“Hey Pat.”
“What’s going on Pete?”
“Nothing much. We need to do something about where I’m living, Addie is driving me crazy.”
“Pete deal with it. Trust me this plan will work. Do you want her back?”
“Yeah but I don’t think this is the best way to go about it. Maybe I should give her some space and move out of here.”
“Suck it up Pete and just tell her how you feel then.”
“No, she let me go this time so she has to tell me how she feels.”
“You’re being stupid. I’m hanging up.” The phone went dead on the other end.
“Uggghhhh” I yelled throwing the phone across the room.
“Is everything okay?” Adriana said running out of the rec room.
“I’m fine just mad.”
“Oh ok” She said and walked back inside.
About an hour went by since I had seen Adriana. I almost had a song complete when Adriana came out of the rec room.
“How is the writing going?” She asked
“Eh ok, how is the suit design?”
“I’m done. Thank goodness. Now I can get this guy off my ass.”
“Well, do you mind if I am alone for a little longer?”
“No. Not at all.” She walked into her room and I heard the shower go on.
I lost all train of thought. “She fucking interrupted me while I was writing. I hate that shit, I will never get that lyric back.” I said to myself.
Just then I saw Adriana walk out of her room.
“Adriana!”
“Yeah Pete?”
“Do me a fucking favor. Never talk to me went I’m writing. You made me lose my fucking train of thought. I can’t believe you are so inconsiderate.”
“You got it Pete, I wont talk to while you are writing or ever.” She said and turned to go back into her room.
“Hello?” I knew it wasn’t Pete’s voice
“Hi, it’s Adriana. Is Pete around?” I said
“Yeah, he is here but he doesn’t really want to talk….”
“Listen Joe, I really need you to put him on the phone.”
“If you are going to upset him more, I’m not giving him the phone.”
“If I’m going to upset him are you serious, he’s the one who upset me. You know what I’m not getting into this with you, just put Pete on.” I half yelled.
I heard Joe tell Pete I was on the phone. I heard rustling and then the phone hung up in my ear.
I guess we were over, Pete didn’t even want to hear what I had to say to him.
I walked back out to the sales floor with tears in my eyes.
“What happened?” Justina said
“He didn’t even want to talk to me, Joe picked up and I talked to him then he handed the phone to Pete and he hung up. I don’t even know what to do.”
“Well Adriana, this is kinda your fault. You are the one who kicked him out and didn’t believe what he was telling you. He has given you no reason to believe he would hurt you like that.” Taryn added
