     AUBREY AND LARA JEAN BOTH ENTERED THE SCHOOL'S DOUBLE DOORS AND HEADED OVER TO THEIR LOCKERS. It had been awkward between them since the whole Peter thing. Aubrey still felt guilty, she felt like she had stolen Peter away from Lara. Aubrey hasn't even seen Lara smile once.  Aubrey wanted to ignore it but the doubtful thoughts kept pounding against her head. Once the two sisters got closer to their lockers, they furrowed their eyebrows and glanced at each other. A gasp escaped Lara Jean's lips as she saw a picture of her and Peter in the hot tub. And a quote that said: It's always the ones you never expect. Fury chorused through Aubrey's veins as she read it. She shoved herself in front of the people and tore the picture down. Her eyes wandered over to her locker which also had a quote on it.

     I think it's okay to steal my sister's boyfriend. 

    Aubrey screwed her eyes shut before the tears started rolling down. After that, she then said, "Who in their right mind thinks it's okay to do this?" 

     No one answered. "You all guys make me sick. Go to hell."

    Aubrey joined over to Lara Jean's side and threw her arm gently over her shoulder. Lara's under lip quivered slightly before she turned around and started to walk away. Tears were threatening to spill for the both of them. However, they were abruptly stopped by Peter. "Whoa. Whoa. Hey, hey hey." He coos softly to the both of them. "What's going on?" He asked, concernedly.

     "You didn't even say it wasn't true?" Lara replies as she refers to the hot tub picture. Peter walks in front of her, stopping Lara Jean from walking away. He softly placed her hands on her arms, holding her in place. "You just let everyone think we had sex? I bet your happy the video leaked." She hisses. Peter's dark chocolate soften before he steps forward to the crowd of students that were circling around the Covey Sister's lockers. 

     "Hey, everyone, listen up!" Peter's voice boomed through the hallways. "Not that it's anyone's business but nothing happened in the hot tub. If I hear anybody talking about Lara Jean or that video, I'm gonna kick your asses. You understand?" He threatened darkly to the school. Lara Jean only walked away before Peter caught up with her. He stood in front of her, his frame towering over her frame

       "I-I never seen that picture. I didn't know someone was w-watching." Lara stuttered as tears fell down. 

       "Hey. Hey. Come here." Peter whispers as he pulled her into a hug. Lara Jean only cried in his arms.

        Meanwhile, Aubrey only stood there watching the scene commence. She placed a hand over her mouth as she silenced her cries. She quietly ran away, leaving Lara Jean and Peter to their bonding. It was inevitable, as she always said in her notes, she was always second best. Aubrey ran over to the bleachers. A wail escaped her lips. She falls onto her knees, she trails her fingers in her hair. Sobs uncontrollably escaped her mouth as she felt a need to breathe. She looked up at the sky, crying out to her mother. "W-Why me? Why me be the girl whose always second best. I-I need you Mom."

        "Aubrey Jean?" A familiar voice called out. Tears clouded her vision, making the figure unrecognizable. 

        "Aubrey, oh my gosh. Breathe." The voice said as she felt arms wrapping her into a big hug. After a couple of minutes of being swaddled into a hug, her breathing returned back to normal. She pulled away and wiped the tears away. She looks up to see the guy she met in the park. Elliot was his name. She smiled softly at Elliot and brushed a hair behind her ear. "T-Thank you. I was having a panic attack." She admitted shyly.

      "I used to have severe panic attacks everyday." Elliot says as his eyes drop to the floor. "And my mom usually always hugged me super tight to make them go away." 

      "That's cute." She comments quietly.

      "Yeah." Elliot replies. "Care to tell me why you were having one? You don't have too. But only if you want." 

       "Why not? What else to I have to loose?" Aubrey says as she gestured to the bleachers.Elliot and Aubrey both sit down together.

        Aubrey starts to share her Peter story with him. After half an hour, she was done. She took a breath and then sighed exasperatedly. Elliot raised his eyebrows in shock. "Wow. Just wow." He said, completely speechless. "I'm so sorry."

        "Well now, at least I'm kind of used to it." Aubrey admits sadly. Elliot and Aubrey spent the whole day together just talking and walking to classes together. It was finally the end of the school day. Aubrey stuffed her books in her backpack before Elliot leaned against the locker next to her. "It was really fun hanging out with you, Aubs." He states truthfully as a grin spreads across his face. She mirrored his smile and closed her locker. She pulled the backpack and slung it over her shoulder. She turned to face him. She looked up because Elliot basically towered over her.  

        "Thank you for today, El. I really appreciate it. And the whole panic attack situation." She thanks before she got on her tippy toes and threw her arms around his shoulders. His arms wrap around her waist, pulling her into a bigger hug. Aubrey had to admit it was warm and tingly. And Elliot did smell really nice, it was a hint of lavender and vanilla. She pulled away and hopped into her car. She checked her phone to see that she had one new message.

        PETER: are you okay? i'm sorry that i didn't ask you earlier.

        AUBREY: no i'm sorry. this was a mistake, peter.

       She started the car and drove it out of the school's parking lot. She merged onto a street and started to drive home. She heard her phone vibrating, she groaned softly before picking it up. It was another text from Peter. Her eyes glanced back and forth at the road. She placed her thumb on the home button. The text read.

       PETER: i really am sorry, aub.

       AUBREY: i am too, p-

      Aubrey heard an ear piercing honk coming from her side. She quickly looked to her side to see a semi-truck about to coll-.
