-Katie’s POV-

I woke up the next morning in an all too familiar bed…Pete’s. I vaguely remember him coming home and putting me in here. I looked over to my left and he was still sleeping looking so vulnerable and peaceful. I stared at him for a second and shook my head.

‘God, if he only knew how I felt…’ I thought to myself. And with that, I carefully got out of bed making sure I wasn’t going to wake him and walked out into his kitchen, and made some coffee. I poured myself a cup and walked onto his balcony overlooking LA. It was so peaceful out here and I loved it. I sat down in one of his chairs and started spacing out. All I could think about was how much Pete meant to me and whether I would ever have the guts enough to tell him how I truly felt. He must have never gotten the hints that I liked him from when I met them at the office. And I don’t dare ruin what we have because of my stupid feelings. I’m pleased with just being his best friend, but I couldn’t help but want more. I wasn’t going to tell him anytime soon. The boys would be going on tour soon and I would be left back in LA working. I tried not thinking about the tour because I always got depressed since I wouldn’t see them for 3 or 4 months.

I snapped out of my thoughts and decided to go run some errands. I wasn’t going to wake Pete up since he never sleeps anyways. I walked into the apartment and gathered my clothes from the night before, wrote Pete a note letting him know where I went and left.

-Pete’s POV-

I rolled over and went to drape my arm around Katie but my arm hit the bed instead. I looked at the empty bed where she had been laying only a few hours ago. I yawned and stretched and decided to get up and see what she was up to. I walked into the living room and there was no Katie. Then I walked into the kitchen and noticed an almost full pot of coffee and a note right by it. I walked over and read it while pouring myself a cup.

Petey-
I didn’t want to wake you, you just looked too cute sleeping. I made some coffee if you wanted any and then I decided I would run some errands. I’ll call you when I finish. Bye Love!
Katie

I just smiled at how cute she is. I loved her little notes. Since she was going to be gone for part of the day, I decided to head over to Patrick’s place and see what he was up to.
The day before tour

-Katie’s POV-

I was dreading this. The boys leave tomorrow to go on tour and I didn’t want them to leave at all. They had become a huge part in my life during the past 5 months and I don’t know what I was going to without them. As far as the whole Pete situation goes, I never did tell him how I feel. I guess I never found the right time. He did ask me to move in with him because he doesn’t want me living in my own apartment while they were gone on tour, he’d rather me be at his place. I have my own room there so it wasn’t that big of a deal. Tonight, Patrick was having a little party thing at his place since they leave soon for so long. I had gone out a few days ago and got a new dress for the occasion. It was a short black dress, simple but sexy. I guess my motive for the dress was to grab Pete’s attention. It was almost time to head to the party.

“Katie! Are you almost ready?” Pete yelled down the hallway from the bathroom. He was doing his hair. I looked at myself one last time in the mirror before going out into the hallway. I thought I looked nice. My hair was down in loose curls with light make up and strappy black heals. I took a deep breath and decided I was done.
“Ya. I’m coming.” I said back as I approached the bathroom. Pete saw me standing in the doorway through the mirror and stopped everything he was doing and just starred.
“What?” I said getting nervous. ‘Was there something on my face or something?’ was all I thought to myself.
“Nothing, you just look….amazing. Have you always had that dress?” He said still starring. I felt my cheeks start getting hot and I had to look away.
“No, I just got it a few days ago. Does it look ok? I can change…” I start freaking out a little bit.
“No, don’t. You look great, Katie. Now I’m gonna have to be your bodyguard tonight so you don’t get taken advantage of.” He said looking serious.
“You? My bodyguard? I think I’d be better guarding myself. No offense, Wentz.” I joked and he gave me that look.
“I’m kidding! You know I’m gonna be on your arm all night.” I said as he smiled.
“Good.” He said sounding satisfied.
“Ready?” I asked.
“Yep, let’s go.” He replied sticking out his elbow as I grabbed it. We were on our way.

The entire night, I was on Pete’s arm just like I said. He just made me feel comfortable. The night was coming to an end and I decided to go outside for a while to just think about things. I couldn’t help but get more depressed as the night went on since I knew the boys were leaving in less than 12 hours. I walked along side the pool and took my heals off and sat down on the edge putting my feet in. I was like that for about 5 minutes until I heard the back patio door slide open and shut. I didn’t look to see who it was since I already had an idea. Pete came up and sat right beside me without saying a word, without even looking at each other. He wrapped his arm around me and squeezed tight. A few minutes went by.

“Katie, it’s going to be fine, I promise.” Pete said breaking the silence. I couldn’t look at him, I’d cry. I had cried about this whole tour thing before but not in front of him. I didn’t say anything.
“Katie, please look at me…” He said trying to talk to me. I hesitated, trying to hold my tears back but I felt them burning my eyes and I looked up at him letting one escape. He just pulled me into a hug.
“I’m going to miss you so much Pete. I don’t know what I’m going to do without you.” I looked up at him and he wiped the one tear away with his thumb. I looked in his eyes and he looked into mine. It was like I could see right to his soul. All of a sudden I noticed his head moving towards me and tilt to the side a little bit. I knew it was risky but I couldn’t turn away. I’ve wanted this for so long. My heart started racing faster and faster the closer he got to my face. He stopped just centimetres from my lips, so close I could feel his breath on them. I couldn’t take it anymore, he was teasing me. I closed the gap between us and kissed him. It was soft but full of so much emotion. It felt as though the world stopped. What seemed like forever later, but really only seconds, we split apart. I stayed in that position for a little bit longer letting a smile appear on my face. I finally opened my eyes and looked back to the pool.

“I’m going to miss you too, Katie.” All I can think about is what’s going to happen now? Why did he kiss me?

Pete’s POV

I finally did it. I finally kissed her. And it was exactly how I thought it was going to be…amazing. I don’t know what came over me to do it but it just felt right. We didn’t say anything afterwards, we just sat there which was nice. I know Katie’s depressed about the tour, I am too but I don’t show it and I don’t want to talk about it. I think that if I don’t talk about it, I don’t have to come to the realization that I won’t see her for three and a half months.

“Can we go home?” Katie asked interrupting my thoughts.
“Ya, we need to get some sleep.” I said. Both of us got up and walked back into the house to say good-bye to everyone.
