If Katy Perry Is My Best Friend, Why Am I Hooking Up With Travis McCoy?

I wanted to faint, but I knew if I did then he’d think I was a complete loser. So I balanced myself by holding onto something sturdy and took deep breaths. I stared at the back of Pete’s head for several minutes. That black hair was so beautiful. And perfectly straight.

It looked like if you ran your hands through it, it’d feel just like a cloud. Oh so soft. I sighed a dreamy sigh. Katy looked over his shoulder and saw me. "Oh. There she is now" I let go of whatever I was holding on to and stood up straight.

Pete turned around and I tried to not drool. His honey golden eyes were heavily outlined in black eyeliner. He had on a short sleeved black shirt with a pair of dark blue skinny jeans. And he was wearing black converse. His eyes started sparkling as he looked me up and down.

"Pete this is my best friend Anna. And Anna I know you know Pete" she winked at me. I looked back at Pete and he was smiling. "H-hi" I said. He smiled even wider. "Hey" he said in his deep voice. My knees got weak and I almost fainted right then and there.

"You look really nice" he told me. I blushed. "Thank you. So do you.""Thanks. So you ready to go?" I nodded. "You two have fun. But make sure you use protection. I don’t want my best friend to get pregnant with a mini Pete on the first date" she laughed and I blushed and felt even more nervous. I let out a long breath.

"So…uh...what are we gonna do?" "Well I figured we’d go out to dinner then go back to my house and watch a movie" we were in Los Angeles at the moment. "Yeah. Sure. That sounds fun." "Awesome. Uh would you mind if we stopped and said hi to Gym Class Heroes? Travis is my homie!" I giggled. "No I don’t mind." "Great! Let’s go!" he grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the Gym Class Heroes bus. As corny as it sounds, I felt sparks from his touch.

When we got to the Gym Class Heroes bus, we had to walk around to the back of it. That’s where they were doing their set. Pete pulled me past all the screaming fans and back to the area where they were getting ready. When we got there Pete pulled me over to Travis.

"Pete!" Travis called from where he was at. "Travis!" Pete called from my side. They walked up to each other and fist-bumped. Travis smiled and winked at me from over Pete’s shoulder. Pete turned around to look at me then back at Travis.

"Do you two know each other?" "Only on a hate basis" I said rolling my eyes. "What do you mean?" I made my way over to Pete’s side. "He broke my best friends heart. So I hate him." "Oh." "Well we gotta get out there" Travis said. "Can’t keep the fans waiting." "True that" Pete said. Travis began to walk away from us and out onto the stage.

"Hello L.A.!" Travis screamed into his microphone. All the fans screamed. "Are you ready to party?!" more screams. "I can’t hear you!!" louder screams. "That’s more like it. This is...The Queen and I!" the music started and soon Travis’ voice filled the air.

I couldn’t help but sing along. Pete looked at me questiongly. "I thought you hated Travis?" "I do. I didn’t say I hated Gym Class Heroes.""Oh" he smiled at me. I smiled back. "Ya know, I like you already." "Y-you do?" "Yeah. I just wanna take you away to some private island where no one will find us and have you all to myself...forever" m heart started speeding up.

"I-I’d let you if you really wanted to" h smiled again. I do.""Pete, I’ve liked you since I was 13. So I’ve liked you for 8 years. And I was so mad and heartbroken when you got together with Ashlee. But, that didn’t stop me from..." I looked down. "Loving you" he put his hand under my chin and made me look up at him. "I love you too" I couldn’t help but smile and let out a squeal of enjoyment.

"Ya wanna get out of here?" "Yes!" I said a little too loud. He laughed a small laugh. He grabbed my hand once again and led me over to an orange Lamborghini. He opened the door for me and I slid in on the leather seats. I couldn’t but feel extremely nervous.

I began to twirl my hair. Something I always did when I was nervous. There was a knock on my window. I slightly jumped. Katy was standing there smiling and waving. I rolled down the window. "Can I help you?" I asked.

"Don’t be nervous Anna. He likes you. I can tell" I smiled. "Have fun!" I nodded. "Will do" as soon as she backed up, Pete got in the car. He smiled at me as he started it up. I took slow and deep breaths.

"Are you nervous?" I silently nodded my head. He smiled again and grabbed my left hand with his right hand. "Don’t be. I’m just like any other normal person" he smiled and began to rub my hand with his thumb. I smiled and he pressed his foot on the gas and we were out! On the drive to the dinner, Pete and I talked about music, polar bears, and we told each other about ourselves.

When we got there, Pete walked around the front of the car and opened my door for me when he got to my side. He took my hand and helped me out. "Why thank you." "You’re welcome" I took a look around. We were at a burger joint. "Hope you don’t mind. But I’m a burger and milkshake kinda guy" I smiled and shook my head.

"No I don’t mind at all" he smiled and led me inside. The inside of the joint, was decorated in a 50's fashion. There was a jukebox in a corner, the lights were neon green, the tile was checkered black and white and there was a bar with bar stools. After I had looked around, Pete led me over to a barstool.

"Petey! My boy! What’s up?" said a bigger man behind the counter. "Hey Rob. Not much just on a date with this lovely young lady" Pete smiled and pointed at me. "Oh. Well hello. You are lovely" I giggled. "Thank you. I’m Annabell" I stuck my hand out for him to shake. He looked at it, then smacked it away.

I yelped in a bit of pain. He reached over the bar and gave me a hug. He smelled like grease, but it was cool. I smiled and hugged him back. "Any friend or...girlfriend of Pete’s a friend or...girlfriend of mine" I smiled and laughed.

"So what’ll it be for you 2 lovebirds?" "I’ll have the usual" Pete ordered before me. Rob nodded and wrote something done on a pad. "Um...I’ll just have what he’s having." "Smart choice" he said while writing down my order. When he walked away I whispered "what did I just order?" he laughed a cheerful laugh.

"A cheese burger with fries and a chocolate milkshake" I smiled. “Oh. That’s not too bad" he smiled and nodded. While we waited for our food, Pete and I talked about his career and I told him that I always thought rockstars were the coolest. "No really Pete. I do think you’re the coolest rockstar to ever live" after I had told Pete I thought rockstars were the coolest, he asked who I thought was the coolest rockstar to ever live. When I told him I thought he was he didn’t believe me.

"I still don’t believe you" I threw my hands in the air. "Why not?!" he shrugged. "Just don’t" I growled. "You’re really starting to piss me off Wentz" he laughed so hard he almost had tears rolling down his cheeks.

"What’s so funny?" I growled again. "Y-you..." he said in between a laugh. I pointed at myself. "Me?" "Yes. You" he continued to laugh. When Rob sat our food down in front of us, he stopped laughing and licked his lips. That made me laugh slightly.

I picked up a fry and dipped it in some ketchup. "They make the best fries here" Pete said getting ready to take a drink of his milkshake. The fries were pretty damn good. When both Pete and I were done eating, we stood up and stretched. "Thanks again, Rob" Pete said as he paid.

"Not a problem. It was nice meeting you" he said looking at me. I smiled. "Yeah you too" Pete grabbed my hand and took me back outside. There we were met by a few members of the paparazzi.

"Pete! Is this your new girlfriend?!" "Are you finally over Ashlee?!" "What’s her name?!" "Yeah sweetheart. What’s your name?!" those were just a few of the questions they asked us. We ignored them and got in the car. After I had buckled my seatbelt and Pete was on the freeway, he turned to me. "Sorry about that." "Oh. It’s fine. I’m used to it. Being Katy Perry’s best friend has its perks and faults" he smiled. "You’re sweet Anna. Ya know that?" I blushed.

"I...uh...I guess I do know" he smiled and drove us to his house. By the time we got there, it was already 8. "Come on in" he said after he unlocked the front door to his L.A. manchine. I gasped as I looked around. This really was a manchine.

"Wow Pete. Your house is...beautiful!" "I think you’re more beautiful" I blushed and giggled. "Come on. I’ll give you the grand tour" after Pete had taken me all around his house, we ended up in the theater room. "Where’s Bronx?" I asked as he went to go get all his movies. "With Ashlee.""Oh. I...uh...I kinda wanted to meet him" he smiled and sat down next to me. "You will. I promise" then he kissed my cheek.

After going through all his movies, I picked out The Nightmare Before Christmas. "Hey! That’s my favorite movie!" I giggled. "Me too!" he got up and put the movie in the DVD player. When he came back and sat down next to me, he put a blanket over both of our laps. We were sitting side by side. Extremely close to one another and our legs are touching. Once the movie started, I leaned my head on Pete’s shoulder. During the movie, I couldn’t help but ask myself if it was a bad thing that I hadn’t thought about Travis all night.
