You're Appealing To Emotions That I Simply Do Not Have (Pete Wentz) Info

“You not want to listen to us?” Trick says sounding hurt

“I will, I’ll mainly just sit here and look pretty, Chris can’t really do anything on that part” I say grinning and poking Chris.

“Pffft thanks” Chris says grinning and then Patrick, Andy, Joe and Pete start playing and I’m absorbed in the music and the look on Pete’s face when he’s playing. He look’s so peaceful, so happy, so unlike him.

“You like?” Chris whispers in my ear grinning

“He’s amazing” I whisper back, “They all are” I say quickly as I notice the smile on Chris’s face, “Chris you didn’t hear him in the car, he was an absolute ass”

“What did he say?” Chris says confused

“He called me a stupid Cheerleader” I say frowning

“Well you kind off are a stupid…” Chris begins but see’s the look on my face and stops, “What exactly did he say”

“He said I was dumb and that I was a stupid cheerleader” I mutter

“And before that…” Chris prods

“He asked me why I moved away before” I say looking at the floor

“And what did you say?” Chris asks sounding fed up

“I said I didn’t I just got up” I say biting my lip

“Aha found the problem” Chris says grinning, I wait for him to carry on

“Well…” I say when he doesn’t

“If you can’t see it by now…” Chris says shaking his head

“See what?” I say shaking my head

“You’ll see” Chris says grinning looking back at Pete making my eyes go back to him too, he’s jumping around the place like a crazy person occasionally screaming into the mic.

“So Brend, what you think about Soph, reckon she has a chance in hell of playing poker properly?” I say grinning, trying to forget Pete or the weird conversations.

“Well, I want to say yes but you know she keep’s telling everyone what we’ve got” Brend says laughing, I look at the game to notice that Chris has been playing for us while talking to me and we’re winning.

“Don’t worry Soph your good for other thing’s” I say grinning

“Damn right she is” Brend says quickly and then blushes making me grin at Soph

“So what you think off us” Trick says finishing that song

“Your amazing!” I say jumping up and clapping

“Thanks” Trick says grinning

“She sound’s so shocked” Joe says grinning

“You guy’s are amazing, you’ll have to come play at my birthday” I say nodding

“Birthday?” Andy says sitting down

“You haven’t heard about Skye’s huge party like every year?” Chris says grinning

“Yeah, we’re never invited” Pete says sitting down

“Well. This year you are and if your not there I’m gonna cry and stalk all off you” I say shaking my fist

“How will Paul take that?” Pete says slowly

“Who says he’ll be there” I say looking at Pete, he doesn’t look angry anymore.

“well you are little miss popular, when is your birthday anyway?” Joe says

“30th July, just after school brakes up” I say grinning

“I know about your party, Paul is always on about it like always” Ry says sighing

“Well you shall see why in like a month. If you wanna come that is” I say smiling warmly

“Of course we do, but now we should get back to practising” Trick says standing up followed by the rest of the guy’s. I end up lying there watching them practice, Chris keeps trying to get me to play but I can’t keep my eyes off the guy’s. they finish practising and we all hang out, playing video games and talking.

“Hello?” I say taking my eyes off Pete

“Skye where the hell is my Lamborghini?” My dad screams down the phone

“Oh hey dad, it’s here, it’s fine. Chris borrowed Gypsy so I borrowed the lambo” I say calmly

“You bring it back here right now” my dad say’s angrily and then he hands up

“Well he isn’t happy” I say standing up, “Sorry guy’s got to go”

“You okay? Want me to come with you?” Chris says concerned

“Or me? We could have a girl’s night” Soph says just as concerned, I know why there freaking out. I look a lot like my mom, like a mini her pretty much. When she died my dad had a series of…episodes where he though I was her and hen he freaked out a bit on me, he came at me with a knife. But he never meant to kill me he was just freaked out a bit, he went to therapy and it’s sorted. He would never hurt me.

“Guy’s it’s fine, you know what dad’s like when I don’t ask him for permission. Chris just bring Gypsy back later, I’ll wake you up tomorrow” after lot of hugs from everyone and promising that I will text everyone when I get home and talked to dad.

I drive home quickly and park the car in the garage.

“Hey dad I’m home” I call out nervously

“About time you got home” Dad says quietly, dangerously quiet.

“Sorry Dad” I say quietly

“You know not too take my car’s without asking!” Dad says angrily from the front room, I look a the clock to see that it’s 7 in the evening

“Sorry I didn’t think you’d mind” I say looking at the floor, I look to side and notice and open bottle off vodka on the table, not good.

“Well I do mind Louise” Dad says standing up and grabbing hold off my arm

“Dad, I’m not Louise. It’s me. Skye” I say pleading with him to recognise me

“Skye is asleep upstairs, you leave her out off this did you go and see him again?” Dad shouts gripping my arm

“Dad please I don’t know what your talking about” I beg, “Your hurting me please let go”

“Cheating whore” Dad screams

“Dad please” I beg, he screams and lets me go, pushing me to the floor, I get up and run, I just keep running. I don’t stop until I’m In a park that I don’t recognise and it’s dark and alone and I’m screaming and crying, at this moment in time I want to die.

For the first time in ages I wish that it was me who had died in the car crash.

“Skye?” I hear a familiar voice says and then strong arms surround me and pull me into a tight hug, “What’s wrong? What happened?”

“Pete leave me alone” I manage to say through tears

“Why?” Pete says calmly

“Because right now I want to die, I want the ground to open up and swallow me hole because I can’t take this. My dad thinking I’m my mom and calling me a cheating whore and grabbing me so hard that I have another brose this I can not handle ” I sob into his chest, “It’s too much, too fucking much”

“Shush, it’s okay I’m here your fine, no one is going to hurt you I’m right here” Pete says soothingly, holding me tightly and rubbing my back

“Why me Pete, I mean how much more can I take? How much more can this world throw at me before I crack cause I’m telling you I’m practically there” I say looking up into his eyes

“I don’t know honey but I promise this will all seem better in the morning, when you’ve had some sleep” Pete says standing up and pulling me with him

“No Pete I can’t go home I can’t” I say shaking, petrified

“Who said anything about you going home? You’re stopping with me my parent’s are away anyway” Pete says, arms around my waste pretty much carrying my weight for me, “My house is just around the corner remember” and that’s when I realise that without thinking I had run here, to Pete’s to somewhere where I knew no one but him would find me.

“What about everyone else? I don’t want to see them right now” I say worried

“Everyone left, I’m surprised you didn’t see Chris on your way actually” Pete says jokingly, trying to cheer me up

“Pete I can’t. I can’t stand relying on you” I say trying to pull away from him

“Why not?” Pete says not letting me go

“Because I don’t want to be a burden. I need to fix this myself, I’ll just sleep in the park” I say still trying to get away

“You won’t become a burden, you never could be, I like you Skye I’m going to look after you, I promise now let’s get inside and I’ll do you a hot chocolate and some warm clothes” Pete says crossing the road to his house and opening the door

“You sure this is okay?” I say looking up at him

“Yes, stop worrying” Pete says guiding me inside he take’s me to his room, “Will this be okay?” Pete says holding up some grey sweats and a shirt

“Yeah they’ll be great” I say suddenly realising how wrecked my jeans and top are, note to self don’t throw yourself at the ground.

“I’m gonna go make us a drink, I’ll be right back okay? You can get changed in here or the bathroom” Pete says pointing towards a door

“Thanks Pete” I say quietly, “Seriously you prob saved my life tonight”

“Hey no worries” Pete says pulling me in for another monster hug

“I’m so glad it was you that found me” I whisper, “Wanna no why?”

“Yeah” Pete mummers into my hair

“Because I knew you wouldn’t make me call the police or therapist or whatever. You’ve just picked me up and taken me home and that’s all I want” I say smiling into his shoulder, we stay like that for a while and then Pete pulls away to go make the drink and I go into the bathroom to get changed. I quickly strip and get changed into Pete’s clothes, and look at myself in the mirror, I look a complete mess. My hair’s all over the place my makeup is long gone and I have a nice brose on my cheek, I look down at my arm and see another one there. I sigh and start washing my face until there’s no make up left, I see a comb on the side and comb my hair out. I sigh deciding that the best I can do for now, I hear Pete put on some music, I take a deep breath and walk back into his room.
