Aww Pickles, My Neighbor is A Hottie

***Karie's POV***

I felt traumatized after visiting Gerard. He had let me leave after he told me that he had a crush on me. Or I assumed that's what he meant. I slipped back into my guest room which I had changed to my room ever since Bryan moved in. I felt bad if I had to kick him out of the room I first introduced to him. Sometimes I would sleep on the couch in my room because I was scared that Bryan would run away and leave me alone again. Cheesy? I know right. I didn't want a six year old boy leaving me. I cared about him more then I cared about anything in this whole entire world. He was the only person I could talk to normally now a days. Anyway, I slipped into my room and laid on the bed. Bryan was watching TV in his room so I didn't feel like bothering him. We were always around each other so I guess a break wouldn't hurt anyone. It was around 6PM now, so I called for pizza. My mom was out of town for a few days and told Mrs. Way to check on us at 8PM every night. She seriously could not stand me leaving again. It confused me a bit because two hours before I left she was begging me to get a job and leave the house. I guess when I actually left, it changed her idea on me leaving.

"Karie? Can we get food soon? I know we had ice cream, but I'm hungry. " Bryan poked his head into my room. I smiled and nodded. The poor boy was still skin and bones and it was not healthy. I didn't stuff him with food though. I tried to keep the food to a average amount because that was healthy. I called for some pizza.

"Can we have a large cheese pizza with a bottle of MUG root beer please." I asked politely.

"Sure. Pick up or deliver?" He asked.

"Deliver." I didn't feel like walking there. If I still had my baby car, we would have picked it up.

"Name?" He asked me.

"Karie." I answered. He paused. I assumed he was writing down our order. I hummed into the phone.

"Karie? Like Karie from high school. Hey it's Peter Scarps. Remember, we sat next to each other during graduation." He sung into the phone. He seemed a little to happy to talk to me. I thought for a second. Oh ya. He was the boy who asked if I was okay when they announced colleges. I flinched at the thought of it.

"Hey Peter." I didn't exactly know how to answer him. We were never friends and barley exchanged any words over the four years. I knew he was the captain of the ice hockey team which was pretty cool and got a scholarship for it. That was all I knew about him though.

"Do you mind if I deliver the pizza and then we can catch up? I know we weren't great friends, but why not?" He asked me. Hey fuck it. I didn't have any other friends besides Gerard.

"Sure." I agreed.

"I'll be there in 30 minutes." He hung up. I decided to get out of the pjs I was wearing and look a tad bit more presentable. I threw on black skinny jeans with a white tank top. I put on fuzzy socks because I was a freezing person all the time.

"Who was that?" Bryan barged into my room as soon as I was done getting dressed. I fell on my bed and covered my mouth so I wouldn't scream. He giggled at my horror. I rolled my eyes and stood back up to go brush my hair.

"A friend from high school. He is going to eat with us okay?" I punched Bryan in the arm. He sighed.

"Is it Gerard?" He looked at me with hopeful eyes.

"Sorry bud. Nope." I brushed through my long hair. He sighed louder this time. I felt bad. I was bringing a complete stranger to my house and Bryan wasn't used to that.

"Do you want to eat at Gerard's house. I don't think he will mind." I offered. The hopeful eyes and came back as he nodded. I smiled, finished brushing my hair, and brought Bryan over to Gerard's house. I rung the doorbell and took a step back. Mikey opened the door.

"Ger-" He started to scream.

"That's not needed." I smiled at Mikey. He blushed.

"I'm having dinner with a friend tonight so I was wondering if this little nugget could stay here tonight." I pointed a Bryan and he laughed.

"I am not a nugget." He stuck his tongue out at me.

"Sure." Mike stuck out his hand to grab Bryan's. Bryan willingly took it and headed inside. I thanked Mike once more and headed back to my house.

The doorbell rung and I ran to get it. I was excited to have more then one friend. It would help raise my self esteem right now. I opened the door to see Peter grinning at me. He had dark blond hair with blue highlights. He was wearing a black vest over his white tee. He was wearing dark blue skinny jeans that fit his figure quite well. I had to say that he was attractive.

"You look great." I stopped checking him out. He came in and put the pizza on the counter.

"You too." He grinned wider at me. I raised an eyebrow to question him, but he ignored it.

"So how is ice hockey?" I asked. He adjusted his hair and started to walk over to me.

"Great. I got accepted into the big leagues. Gonna be playing for the New Jersey Devils." He was now breathing distance from me. He wrapped his arms around my waste to pull me in. Why wasn't I fighting it? Maybe I needed a break from reality and this was it. He leaned in to kiss me and I let him. He begged for access and I allowed almost immediately. I needed this right now.

*** (A/N- sorry not sorry for telling you guys what they did. I'll write smut later in the story)

"Thanks for coming." I winked at Peter as he left. We hadn't touched the pizza, but we touched other things. I giggled at my own thought. I had to pick up Bryan now. I headed over to Gerard's house in a great mood.

"Hey." Gerard opened the door before I knocked. I tried to look past that.

"Hi." I smiled at him.

"How is Bryan?" I swayed my hips.

"Good. I hope you had a good time with Peter." Gerard laughed. I laughed too.

"How did you know I was hanging out with Peter?" I asked. He crossed his arms and leaned against the door frame.

"Saw you guys making out through the window." He shrugged. I looked down.

"Oh. Can I have Bryan now?" I tried to get off the topic. He wrapped his arm around my waste like Peter did.

"Sure. In a second." He came close to me and I closed my eyes ready for his lips to reach mine.

"Bryan!" He screamed and let go of me. I snarled at Gerard. Prick. I wanted to slap him for playing me on like that. He walked off as Bryan came over.

"How was dinner?" I asked Bryan trying to knock Gerard out of my head.

"Good. Gerard was with some girl. He kept holding her hand and kissing her cheek."

Fuck. Him.
