~Peyton's P.O.V~
Today is the day I go back to school. My mother gave me permission to stay home for the past week to avoid the tension. I really don't want to go back.. My friends hate me so, what's the point? Though I heard Sabrina is sick and Bradley is taking care of her so I only have to avoid Rowan.. Woo?
After dragging myself out of bed and getting ready for school I walk very slowly to school. Of course, I was late. I couldn't care less though. I walked into my first period, English class. My assigned seat is right next to Rowan so, I walked over to my seat and, there's somebody else there.
"Um hello. I'm Corey." The dude says to me giving me a head nod then turning back to talk to Rowan. MY girl..
"Hey. Why are you in my seat?" I rudely on purpose.
"Oh.. Sorry.." He says as his face turns pale.
"No Corey stay here. Peyton. Stop being mean. He's new. Sit somewhere else why don't you?" She says glaring at me.
"But this is my seat.. We always sit together.." I say.
"Well maybe it's time for a change. Maybe I don't want you here anymore. Maybe I would rather be with Corey. How does that make you feel Peyton?"
I'm trying very hard not to cry. Why does she want him to be with her? What about me? What about us? It's not over between me and Rowan. I know it's not. I can't let her go.. I feel the lump in my throat getting larger as I choke back my tears.
"Alright. If that's what YOU want." I say quickly as I turn on my heels and run out the room. After I threw my books in my locker and ran out of the school, I couldn't stop myself from crying. I know guys are supposed to be tough and not cry but, the girl I love doesn't want me any more. She clearly likes Corey, considering she put up such a fight to sit with him. I lost her.. Didn't I? I don't know how to handle this. I have no one.. I need Bradley and Sabrina to forgive me..
I decided to make my way over to Sabrina's. Where Bradley is taking care of her. I knocked on the door and her sister let me in. I walked into Sabrina's room and her and Bradley were watching a movie.
"Knock Knock" I say smiling a little towards them.
"Peyton.." Sabrina says looking scared as she looks quickly over to Bradley.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE MEYER? AFTER RUINING YOUR OWN RELATIONSHIP YOU WANNA WRECK MINE TOO? ARE YOU HERE TO CONFESS YOUR LOVE TO HER? HUH? I FUCKING HATE YOU. NO BODY WANTS YOU HERE MAN! WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF?!" Bradley says, almost punching me. Sabrina held him back.
"I just wanted to say that I didn't mean what I said! I don't love Sabrina! It was an accident! I love Rowan! I love her more than anything! But she likes somebody else now.. But I'm not here to talk about Rowan. I came to talk to you guys about our friendship. You guys are all I have and I can't lose you too!"
"Peyton.." Sabrina says. "I know how much you love Rowan. I knew there was something up when you said you loved me. I'll always be here for you. You're one of my best friends." She said giving me a small smile. But I don't think Bradley agreed..
"NO! NO SABRINA! HES A LIAR. HES WORTHLESS. HE DOESNT DESERVE OUR SYMPATHY. HE HAS NO RIGHT TO BE HERE!" Bradley says.
"Bradley! Can't you see he's hurting? Can't you find it in your heart to forgive him?" Sabrina says tearing up.
Bradley lets out a big sigh. "I'll think about it. But for now, Peyton, just get out of here. I don't wanna look at you anymore." He says coldly.
Sabrina gives me a sympathetic look.
"It's cool Sab. He's right. I shouldn't be here." I say turning around and leaving. I thought I heard somebody following me but, I don't care.
My eyes are full of tears. I can't breath. My heart is racing. I just want to end it all right now. All the pain, all the sadness. I can't handle it. I want to die.
Without looking were I'm going, I run right into the road.
CRASH!!
"PEYTON!"
"PEYTON NO!"
