406, after classes

Monday had been interesting. Isabel was sort of proud she got through it without flailing. But she did and now she was back to focusing on college information, with occasional breaks to stare at her phone and debate what to text to Parker.

The door was open.

"Seems like a nice guy." Another shrug. "From what I've heard."

"He is." Isabel put the papers to the side again and forced herself to look at Peter. "You're wondering what's going on?"

"The thing is I don't know," she admitted. "But I think I might want to find out."

Peter had suspected as much. He took a step back. "Well - I wish you luck with it."

"Peter, I'm sorry. This wasn't..." Isabel shrugged, trying to figure out a way to explain how it happened. "The weekend sort of opened my eyes."

"You should be with who you want to be with," Peter said. "I don't wanna be the guy standing in the way of that."

"I never wanted to put you in that position." Another shrug, because there really weren't any words that didn't sound trite.

"I know," Peter said. And this would be another step back. "Still friends?"

"Absolutely," Isabel replied instantly.

Peter gave her a small smile. "Good. I'm glad."

[identity profile] izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com 2007-10-09 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
She returned the smile, still feeling guilty. "Me to."

Peter didn't feel guilt so much as that he was running out of time on being able to chit chat while acting like none of this was bothering him.

"I gotta get back," Peter said, indicating his room. "Promised Mac I'd help her with a thing."

Which was a total lie, but he figured Mac would forgive him.

"Then don't let me keep you," Isabel replied, resisting the urge to keep apologizing. "But don't be a stranger, okay?"

"Can't imagine how that would be possible," Peter said. He gave her a smile, then headed out.

She watched him leave before dropping her head back and closing her eyes.
