We'll Go Down in History [Peterick]

Chapter 7 ~ I'm not thinking of Patrick. Pshh

"The cake I'm going to eat."

"Then no. Now come on, we need to go get drinks." He starts walking off. I start walking but the baby in the cart across the aisle drops his stuffed animal. I bend down to pick it up and give it back to him.

I smile at him and chuckle to myself because he's looking at me like I'm crazy.

"Excuse me." A lady from behind me says. I turn around and I see a lady that I assume is the mother.

"Oh hi. Sorry. He dropped his toy and I picked it up." I say stepping away.

"It's fine. Thank you."

"No, problem."

"Have we seen each other before because you look very familiar." She asks

"Um, I don't think I've seen you but you've probably seen me. I'm Pete Wentz from the band Fall Out Boy." I say.

"Oh, yes that's it. My niece has posters of a bunch of bands all over her bedroom wall. Most likely you would have been up there." She says with a smile.

"Yeah, that's probably it."

"I forgot to introduce myself. I'm April and this is my son Joshua."

"Oh well your husband is a lucky guy. To um, be the father of him." I say awkwardly

"I actually don't have a husband. Joshua's father left after we found out I was pregnant."

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything."

"Don't worry you're fine. I'm doing pretty fine on my own."

"Well, that's good at least." We awkwardly stare at each other not knowing what to say. Then Joe comes up behind me calling me.

"Pete, what are you doing? Oh I'm sorry. Hi I'm Joe Trohman. I see you've met Pete." He said, shaking April's hand.

"Hi there. I'm April. Nice to meet you."

"Nice meeting you too. I'm sorry to interrupt but we have to go. Our friends will be worrying about us." Joe says.

"Of course. No problem. Maybe I'll see you around Pete." She says to me.

"That would be great." I reply with a half-smile. I turn around and follow Joe to the checkout counter in silence.

"Did you know that lady?" Joe asks once we get in the car.

"Um kinda. He son dropped his toy and I picked it back up and gave it back. We talked for like a minute then you ruined it." I say
