I never really liked Halloween. It wasn't the fact that it was boring in the lab it was the fact that I knew I was missing out. Papa would always tell us stories about Halloween especially the gruesome ones when it was just us older kids. He had explained how the smell spiced pumpkin would tell you Halloween was near. He always used to say he associated the colour orange with the month and I now understood what he meant.

On the walk to school peoples houses were covered in decorations mostly orange. The ground was covered in brown and once again orange leaves. But it only got worse when we arrived to school. Some of the popular girls who where chrissys friend wore orange tops with orange mini skirts.

Most people weren't dressed up they just wore orange. I swear by the end of today I was going to be sick of orange. One person who stood out was Jason. He stood leant against the school with some of his friends. I hadn't seen him since what happened at the lake and I had to admit he did not look too good. But who would after loosing their girlfriend and best friend.

He was still a prick though especially the way he treated Eddie when they were younger but I guess he did have a right being angry because he thought Eddie was some devil worshiper.

"boo!" a sudden voice shouted making me jump from my thoughts. "oh my god you watched it" I looked at Peter who was obviously dressed as Danny from grease. "of course I did I even persuaded Mike to watch it too and he going to try and ask out el". We both laughed at his statement but I didn't know what was funnier, Mike watching grease or getting ideas to ask out el from grease.

"you are sandy I take it" he looked my costume up and down. "well are you exited for your first day?" as soon as I mentioned it he went stiff. I wish we could have done this together so we could share our experiences and similar problems. "it will be fine I pro-". My eyes caught a person behind him.

"oh my god Eddie" I speedily walked toward him leaving Dustin and peter. "I never knew you liked grease" his cheeks went red. "guilty pleasure" he laughed. "we are matching, it actually funny because Peter is dressed as Danny too" I turned back to Peter who seemed to be glaring at us.

"I don't know who's is worse. Peter is blonde and you have long hair" he laughed flicking his hair about proudly. I looked towards my watch that Peter had given me all those weeks ago when we escaped. "right I'm so sorry I have to go and give miss patten my homework" I ran off quickly before they could even say goodbye.

Peter didn't like the fact that Eddie had also dressed up as Danny it meant that people would probably mistake them as a couple but he didn't want that to happen between Eddie and y/n he wanted it to happen between him and y/n. But one thing that calmed his nerves was that y/n had kept his watch that he had given her all those weeks ago.

"you know she never took that watch off unless she went in the shower. Even when we went to get it fixed from water damage she insisted that it was to stay on her wrist" Dustin ended his sentence as Eddie walked over. Peters nerves were calmed but that stopped when he heard what came out of Eddie's mouth.

"thanks dude I would have never guessed her as being a grease girl" he pounded dustins fist and continued to walk to his class. Before Dustin could lift his foot from the ground to take a step Peter stopped him with his powers. "what does he mean thank you" he didn't even bother to look at him. "he asked me what y/ns favourite movie was and I told him grease. You know it was kind of her comfort movie when she was getting over your death she would make me lay in bed with her and eat ice-cream I think I put on a good two pounds during that" he grabbed his stomach jokingly and walked away once Peter had let go of him.

Eddie had faked liking a movie to impress y/n. Knowing this only made Peters blood boil. But he couldn't let it get in the way he had to put his concentration into school and keeping calm so he would end up making another mistake. The memories from that night filled his mind goosebumps instantly covering his body. The fact that y/n knew about it but never spoke to him made him sad. She either never felt comfortable speaking about it or she just wanted to leave it in the past.

"hey you!! Yeah you I'm your buddy for the day" a familiar boy walked over to him. Being part of vecna helped him a bit because vecna spied on people he knew a lot of their secrets. Jason carver. The boy who spiked his ex girlfriends drink which caused her to be paralysed from the neck down and also hit a man with his car while drink driving. "nice to meet you" Peter reached out his hand awkwardly and Jason took it with a tight hold shaking it hardly"

"I bet its torture having a good looking chick hang around with Eddie aren't you scared he's going to kill her too" Peter had to stop him smirking from the man's stupidness. "personally I don't believe that rumour but I am quite scared of him" the last part of his sentence being a lie. "yeah well he does have a habit of forcing people to have drugs" Peters eyebrows shot together his blood boiling even more.

"yeah its said that he does it a lot with people mostly girls, especially the ones who are to scared to speak up for themselves like y/n" they walked through the front doors of the school the hallways being quite empty as people were in class. "he's a disgusting monster even if he abandoned his freak club and was proven non guilty for those murders he will always be a druggy" they stopped at a door which was their first class.

It was now the end of the day. I had promised Eddie I would spend the first 5 minutes with him then I had to go and catch up with Peter. I walked through the woods to our usual spot. "Eddie!?" he must be late. I looked at my watch. He must have an after school.

"whoa you aren't leaving already?" I heard him place his so called lunch box on the bench. "well you took too long I'm going to be late" he gave me a little pout. "5 minutes that's it" he fisted his hand cheering. "you want some" he lit the blunt and placed it into his mouth taking the first few dreadfully drags.

I took it from his hand and placed it between my lips. "so are you going to the party tonight?" he asked as I passed him it back. "no I'm too young" I leant against the bench doing up my laces on my trainers that I had to switch to mid day as the heels were hurting my feet way too much. "well legally you are now 17" he smiled as he blew out his smoke.

"ill see if mom let's me if not you will just have to be alone" a smile grew on his face but it soon faded away as he seemed to remember something that he didn't want to. I was guessing it was the whole chrissy situation ad this was the place they used to meet up. "what's up" he looked into my eyes as if to say sorry for something he hadn't done yet.

"can you do me a big favour?" he did even smile which told me this wasn't a good thing. I nodded to tell him to carry on. "I need you to carry this for me" he lifted a small brown paper bag from his box which had huge letters spelling Eddie on the side. "but you can't look inside it's for the party tonight. I will come to yours around seven if you can't come I will just take the bag but if you can ill take you both" I was curious of what was in the bag but if Eddie didn't want me knowing I would leave it that way.

"oh I'm going to Mike's with Peter so pick it or us up from there" he nodded. I took one last drag and handed it back to him. "you're forgetting something". I turned back around and picked up the bag placing it in my handbag that Nancy had lended me for the day. I then made my way to the end of the path near the school to meet Peter. Nancy had told us to meet her there so we could avoid the school traffic.

"hey what took you so long? I was starting to worry" he opened his arms for a hug. "aaww Peter cares about me" he smiled but it wasn't a usual smile it was almost a fake one. While I was hugging him he pulled away. "you smell like weed" I lefted my arm to my nose and he was right I did. "shit" i took out my perfume and drenched myself in it.

"where were you?" he was really angry now. His brows furrowed and lips slightly pursed. "I quickly went to meet Eddie. He needed me to take something for him" i had definitely worded that wrong as we were on the subject of drugs so I wasn't surprised when peter asked. "what do you mean take? Drugs?!" I shook my head. "no silly just something he needs me to carry for some reason" finally Nancy was here with her car.

I had noticed Peter had been very overprotective recently but it was getting on mg nerves now. Peters room wasn't large or small. He had two windows, one had his bed next to it and the other had a desk. He had a mirror perched in the oposit corner of the desk which was next to the door. It didn't have many decorations which was understandable. We only had a week to design it and because Ted was ill he didn't help us put the bed and desk together, it was a nightmare.

I moved my leg away from him so his hand was no longer placed on my thigh. He just simply carried on reading his book. "hey I'm going to go take a shower did you want one after?" finally his attention turned away from his book to me. "I'd prefer one now with you but if I have to have one after sure" I let out a small laugh. "of course I'm not going to have a shower with you silly" there was something that had changed his mood. His happy face turned to almost and angry face.

"hey y/n did you want to use my telephone quickly" I turned to the door where Nancy was stood. "oh yes please you're a life saver" I headed out of the room to Nancy's to use her telephone. "hey mom is it OK if I go to a party tonight?" she let out a small sigh. "as long as you be careful and are home by no later than ten then it's fine" I said thank you and goodbye and headed into the shower.

Peter would have never admitted that he was hurt by y/ns words. 'of course I'm not going to have a shower with you silly' these words played over and over in his head until he heard the shower turn on. He kept on wondering why y/n wasn't giving him any affection back. Was it because she and that Eddie guy are together. He couldn't help not knowing. That's when he remembered the bag she had to carry for Eddie.

He popped his head through the door checking that no one was around and closed the door behind him. He scanned the room to look for the bag Nancy had lent to her. Bingo. He walked over to the drawer by the window and opened the handbag rummaging through it to find what Eddie gave her. Finally he had found it.

He tried to make it quick so no one could hear him tearing the tape off of the side. "I'm going to kill him" he clenched his fists which held the drugs that Eddie gave y/n to carry. "PETER CAN YOU PASS ME ANOTHER TOWEL PLEASE" he quickly hid the bag back in her handbag and rushed to get her a towel.

The bathroom was steamy and the air was thick. "here's your towel where do you want me to put it?" he looked at the outline of her body through the foggy glass. "GET OUT" she shouted being caught off guard at his staring and he did as she wished.

Y/n hadn't meant to shout in a rude way its just because Peter had took so long getting her towel she guessed he hadn't heard her. And when she turned around to wash the rest of her conditioner out, she saw a figure she hadn't expected to be there so of course she was going to be caught of guard and scared.

But of course how was Peter supposed to know that. He was already scared that they were drifting apart and now in his eyes y/n didn't want to be together at all, as if they would never speak again. But Peter always overeacted and got anxious when y/n was angry at him. Who wouldn't get anxious when the person they love was angry at them.

He always blamed his relationship problems on his parents marriage. It wasn't the worst but it wasn't the best and he seemed to convince himself every couples relationship was like that. Until 4th grade he was telling his friends about it and the teachers got involved. There was a whole big meeting afterwards and a nasty beating from his father.

He speedily walked back to his room and locked the door sliding down it and hugging his knees to his chest. Peter couldn't help but blame himself. Was it because of what he did when he was younger? Was it because he had aided vecna and killed people? Was it because he had betrayed her and left her to escape herself? Why was she doing this? All his emotions grew to strong and he only realised when he heard the shattering of glass from his mirror.

Great. How could the party go wrong?
