I'm so sorry I haven't updated a lot! Honestly I'm not super comfortable or confident in my writing and it makes it super hard for me to even try and write. Also during quarantine with all my extra time I've kinda gone back to my roots and gotten back into some old fandoms and it has been taking up a lot of time but I am here now with a new chapter I hope you enjoy :)

When Lara Jean got the text that Chris was outside she sprinted as fast as she could out the back exit to her best friends car.

"Whoa LJ I don't think I've ever seen you run that fast" Chris laughed as Lara Jean caught her breath, "So what was the problem?"

"I was getting lunch with John just to catch up, and it was completely harmless I swear, but then Peter showed up and we made this awful eye contact and he looked so hurt and Ive been avoiding him for days because of everything with Gen and oh goodness Chris what do I do now?" Lara Jean talked so fast that when she finished she had to gasp for a breath.

Chris didn't respond immediately, she just stared at Lara Jean taking it all in. After a few moments Chris finally answered,

"Who knew Lara Jean Covey would be such a heartbreaker," Chris was laughing now, "My my LJ cmon lets get you home and talk about these boys without them staring at my car"

Sure enough when Lara Jean looked up she saw John looking out the window at Chris' car and just 6ft away Peter was doing the same thing except he seemed to be typing something on his phone. Just then Lara Jean's phone pinged. 'Oh God' she let out a gasp and looked down at her phone.

Hey, We really need to talk Lara Jean. Again.

She stared at the message. Of course Lara Jean knew this, but she had been putting it off. She had been avoiding him and his question. Lara Jean waited until she was in her bedroom with Chris to figure out a response.

"Let's get serious right now," Chris sat on the floor across from Lara Jean with a bowl of popcorn in her lap, "Who do you want to be with Lara Jean?" Chris asked, staring intently at Lara Jean with her green eyes.

"Chris cmon John and I are only friends," Lara Jean insisted, but Chris didn't seem to buy it.

"Oh please that couldn't have just been a friendly catch up," Chris said as she popped a piece of popcorn in her mouth, "definitely not with the way he was watching you in my car" Lara Jean decided to ignore Chris and grabbed a handful of popcorn giving her best friend a look.

"It's so complicated Chris," Lara Jean let out a long sigh, "yes it would be so easy to be with John because he's so sweet, but there's Peter and I know I want to be with him"

"So then get your man back LJ"

"But what about Gen and all the trust he broke I- I can't got through that again Chris," Lara Jean looked at the carpet and felt tears growing in her eyes, "I don't want to feel that hurt again"

"LJ you need to talk to him, I know it's hard to hear and I know my cousin is a prissy bitch, but don't her manipulations stop you from pursuing things with Kavinsky," Chris' voice sounded tender but also stern, "Be straightforward with Kavinsky and if he says he cares as much as he said than he'll understand" Chris grabbed her friends hand carefully, "Go ahead and text him that you'll meet him," She handed Lara Jean her phone, "Everything will workout okay?" Lara Jean nodded and rubbed her eyes.

After Lara Jean texted Peter there was no more boy talk. They watched a bunch of classic movies and messed around until their eyes fluttered shut.

The next day Lara Jean walked over to the locker room after lacrosse practice and waited for Peter. She watched closely as he made his way over to her. His hair was wet and he smelled like grass and he was gorgeous to Lara Jean.

"Hey Covey," His voice was gentle and his eyes were soft.

"Hey Peter"

I hope you all enjoyed this chapter! I tried to make it a bit longer because my chapters are usually short. Hopefully I can update again soon and not make you all wait too long!
