"Oh," Peter replied with a sigh.

At that moment, I didn't know what to do. I was too scared to tell my parents about this. I noticed Peter looking at me, and I could see the sadness on his face. I wanted to say something to him, but he spoke first.

"Hey, Elisa, it's okay. Don't worry. I know how hard this is for you, but you have to tell them," Peter said as he looked at me.

"No, I can't. I'm sorry, but I still can't," I replied, looking down with sadness. in my eyes

"Huh? But Elis - " Peter started, but I interrupted him.

"Can you leave? I want to be alone," I said. After I said that, Peter left, and I was alone in my room.

the next morning (duh, this is my story bc I can do whatever I want)

I couldn't stay in my room, so I went outside. I saw Hannah in the hallway, happy as always. "Hey, Hannah!" I shouted her name so that she could hear me.

"Hi, Elisa!" Hannah exclaimed as she ran over to me and hugged me.

Hey Hannah, did you see Peter? I asked, looking at her while she hugged me.

"No, I didn't. Why?" Hannah replied, sounding confused.

"Nothing," I replied. I didn't know where Peter was until I saw him going to Father's office. I was curious, so I followed him. I peeked into Father's door, and I saw something I shouldn't have seen.
