Main Characters: Pete & Claire
Chapter I: Enough.
The night was colder than usual, her jaw chattered carelessly as she walked through the open park with her hands wrapped around her body. At the time she couldn’t care less about grabbing a jacket on her way out, she just needed to leave.
Her thoughts had been distracted when the cell phone at her side began to vibrate. It was her best friend so she decided to answer this time.
“Hey” she tried to sound upbeat
“Where are you?”
“Why?”
“Well besides the fact that your boyfriend is going insane searching for you, I was getting worried myself”
“If it’s now what he’s worrying about me, then I’ll be damned”
“Claire, just call him”
“I need to be alone right now Scarlet”
“So now your shutting me out too?”
“I’m not shutting anyone out, I just need to clear my mind is that so bad to ask?”
“Why are you yelling?”
“I’m not yelling!”
When there was no response she spoke again “Well maybe I did kind of yell just now, but you seriously don’t understand what I’m going through at this point and the last name I want to hear about right now is Pete’s”
“I think you guys should just-”
“Claire” Someone cut in. She quickly turned around to notice him approaching her.
“I’ve got to go Scar, talk to you later” Claire quickly snapped the phone shut and began picking the pace up on her walking.
“Will you wait a minute!” He called jogging up to her, but she only continued to ignore him.
Soon enough he caught up to her, snatching her arm around for her to face him.
“What are you doing?” He heedlessly asked.
“What am I doing? You’ve got to be kidding me, Pete just go home”
“I’m not going anywhere without you”
“Don’t worry about me, I’m fine, and you’re going to have to go because I’m not coming back with you, not anymore-I’ve had enough” she looked down at the last few words.
“What do you mean enough? Shit-look at you, you’re freezing” he tried to pull her close, but she moved away insisting “I’m fine”
“What did you mean 'you’ve had enough' ”
“Pete, what do you think I meant? You know how much I care about you but there’s only so much I can take. We’ve been together for a year and friends even longer, but ever since you and the guys have started up this band, there’s no more time for us, its just the band”
“You know that’s not true, it’s just that we’re so close to getting a solid deal and I need to be there”
“Exactly, you need to be there-with them. I have nothing against the other guys, Patrick’s like family, but I just don’t think we can keep holding on right now…”
“Meaning?” She could tell he was getting frustrated
“I think we need a break”
“A break”
“Yes, a break, we need time apart. You need to focus on you’re career and I need to focus on finishing my two last years of University”
“Claire you cant be serious”
“I am serious Peter. You have so much talent, and I don’t want you to put it on hold sake of me.”
“What are you talking about! I’m not complaining about you, you’re not holding me back-you’re pushing me forward…”
“Don’t. Don't make this any harder than it is, I’ve made my decision and I‘m sticking with it.”
Throughout the whole conservation she kept her eyes on the cemented ground.
“So this is it then” he concluded sarcastically.
“Look at it this way, you don’t have any obligations-you can go out there and get the full experience like a true rock star” she tried to smile but truly couldn’t believe what she was promoting.
“I don’t want the full fucking experience, I want you”
When he said those words her heart sank.
She tried to drown it out. Claire knew that if she let it show that his words were acknowledged she’d end up throwing her decision away.
“Claire”
She didn’t answer
“Claire, fucking look at me!”
She slowly raised her eyes to his height.
“What?”
“Why are you doing this?”
“Because it’s for the best, and you don’t need anyone in your way right now you just need to go out there and reach the top…we can still be friends Peter, it’s not goodbye, more like see you later”
“Will you stop telling me what I need? I’m an adult if you've forgotten. I think I know what’s best for me by now”
She didn’t answer instead she just watched him intently
“How the hell do you expect us to be friends after everything we’ve gone through together?”
He moved closer to her.
“We started out as friends didn’t we?”
“And how long did that last?”
“I’m not changing my mind Pete, we both need space”
He didn’t bother trying to convince her anymore, instead he looked off into the dark sky not knowing what to say next.
She reached out to touch him at the sight of his eyes glossing over, but instead he shifted away.
“Pete…”
“No, what gives you the right to do this to me-to call the shots on this relationship, when all I’ve ever done was love you”
“Are you kidding me?!”
“Am I laughing?”
“Peter! You spent the past hour locked in the basement with your guitar leaving me upstairs by myself. You’ve been doing that frequently lately-so wrapped up in your music to the point where I’m invisible. Heaven only knows how much I support you, but I have feelings too, I need to feel cared about sometimes, not just... there.” She then chuckled to herself for a moment before continuing
“For christ’ sake Pete, you love me so much that you totally forgot it was my birthday today”
At that moment he stopped anything he was about to say and froze.
Counting on his fingers rapidly he realized she was right, it was the 14th .
“Cl-”
“Save it, Pete I’m not mad at you. Hurt, but not mad. Let’s just end this on a good note and hope the best for one another. If we’re meant to be, it’ll happen” she rationalized.
“…I love you”
“I love you too”
She allowed him to give her one last kiss before he took his sweater off, placing it over her shoulders, Soon after, that was that and he was on his way.
