part 16

a few days later
it's joeys one year and i've never answered the door to so many people i didn't know. but i bet payton's going through more. i decided to go over and comfort them. i got changed into a hoodie and went off.
i knocked on the door and tears slowly trailed down my cheek
"hey" i hear someone say looking up
"hi soph" i say seeing sophia with red puffy eyes
i hugged her
a/n this is irrelevant but i have the same birthday as sophia birlem. october 15

"how are you?" i said
"coping" she said with a weak smile. i hugged her again and went to greet everyone else.
"where's payton" i asked dylan
"he's in his room. he hasn't left all day" he said
i nodded and made my way up
i knocked on his door and got no answer. i knocked again and again no answer. i felt an urge to walk in. so i did. i saw him on the bed cuddled up into a ball.
aww
i went over to him. he was sleeping and his eyes were all red puffy. i moved his hair out of the way.
"mh?" he mumbled
"hey" i quietly said
"hi" he said getting up
"no you can go to sleep. looks like you haven't in a while" i said
"no it's fine"
"so. how are you?" i asked
"hanging in there" he said
"i got no sleep last night. there were people at the door 24/7"
"same with me today. but i figured you were going through a lot more. so i wanted to check up on you guys" i said
"well i'm going to go back downstairs" i said
"okay. i'll be down soon"
i nodded and went down.
i stayed there for a while. soon my mum and jackson came and we left.
i went straight to my room since i was so tired.

next morning
i woke up and got ready. i ate breakfast and went on instagram. i liked some joey edits and did the same thing on tiktok. i went on a walk just to get my mind off of everything. i put my airpods in
i listened to solita by pretty much (i'm just listening to that now) and left
i walked to the park and then sat on the swing. i had a strange feeling i was being watched but i ignored it. soon later i felt someone kiss my head i looked up and saw payton. i jumped up and hugged him.
"hey" i said
"hi" he said pulling away
"how long have you been there?" i asked
"just got here. i went to your house but jackson told me you went on a walk to i figured you came here"
"that's weird. i felt like someone was watching me"
"oh. well i'm here now" i shrugged it off and we went back to my house.
i kept looking back because everything just felt so strange. but as time went on i felt a little bit safer. idk what was going on

few hours later

i was concerned about what was happening earlier. payton went not to long ago. i searched it up on google
people say if you feel like you are being watched it is most likely a spirit. if you feel good or safe it's a good spirit
joey
i thought
if you feel unhappy or unsafe it's most likely a bad spirit
john and kevin
i thought
(a/n so i'm going to make it that they got a death sentence)
no. its not. it can't be
i called payton and explained anything
"i think your just being paranoid" he said
"that's what i thought at first. but it makes sense. i felt uncomfortable first. but later i felt safe"
"okay i'm tired this is too much goodnight sab"
"goodnight payton"
i said ending the called with a sigh. i wish he understood.
