Peter had brought me back to his place and fixed my ankle. He helped pick the sticks and leaves out of my hair and showered me.
I laid in his bed with him. He held me soft and close.
"I love you, darling. I would never hurt you on purpose."
"I love you too, Peter."
He brushed the bruises on me.
...never hurt you on purpose...
I pulled away from his touch.
"What's wrong?"
"I-I'm scared of you."
He hesitated. "What?"
"I'm scared of you, Peter. I'm scared for my friends. I'm scared for myself. I'm scared, but I love you and can't leave."
"I just want you all to myself, Y/N."
"You do have me all to yourself. I don't belong to anyone else. I don't want TK, but I also don't want him dead."
He looked softly at me. "Don't worry, love. I won't do anything unless I have to." He ran his fingers through my hair.
"Peter... I feel like we should take a break."
"A break?"
"Just... not be around each other for a while."
He went quiet. Peter stared blankly at the ceiling.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you."
"No, I understand. We can. Just a short one."
I was hurt but at the same time relieved. "Thank you." I kissed his cheek.
"Sshh. Rest."
