You : « hey.. » Payton : « hey » You : « you smoke ? » Payton : « sometimes » You : « ..I see » There is a little silence. You : « are you okay ? » Payton : « yeah, why ? » You : « it doesn't look like it.. » He looks into the distance and smokes. You : « you said we don't have to pretend with each other » Payton : « ...okay, well.. I'm not that well actually » You : « why ? What's wrong ? » Payton : « y/n, what do I mean to you ? » You : « ..wdym ? » a little surprised by his question. Payton : « nah nothing, forget it » feeling a little stupid. You : « Payton...- » Payton : « I just want to know if I'm just here to erase Matt ? Like.. a band-aid yk » You : « what ? No.. » Payton : « idk, I was thinking that, maybe you felt lonely and I was in the right place at the right time yk » You : « Payton.. I really liked Matt and you know it. But being cheated on.. hurts. I really felt like shit, fr... but you know that, cause you were there... » You : « you were there for me, as a really good friend. Even if you were already looking at me differently because you wanted me, huh ? » raising your eyes, smiling a bit. He laughs a bit. You : « anyway, I have no idea what I'm doing with you or what I'm feeling specifically. It just feels good. I feel good around you, and.. idk, it happened naturally » You : « I know it's confusing, but.. Payton, I don't want to see you suffer. I don't feel like I'm using you, I just feel really good, yk » Payton : « uhm.. » looking into the distance. You : « I wouldn't want this with another guy here, so it's not "oh let's pick a guy to heal", it's like, a vibe that I had with you, idk » He smiles a bit. You : « ...if it makes you feel any better, I was already feeling something, not really sure what, but like, when I was still with Matt, I-.. » looking into the distance, searching for your words. Payton : « you were attracted to me » raising his eyebrows, smirking a bit. You turn your head towards him. You : « no- » Payton : « it wasn't a question, it was the end of your sentence- » You : « shut up » hitting him, smiling. He giggles a bit. Payton : « come onnn, I know it » You : « it was just really confusing in my head » Payton : « yeah okay, say it that way if you want » raising his eyes a little, smiling a bit. You : « SO yeah.. you're not there to erase Matt, but you kinda doing it anyway » Payton : « uh » smiling a bit, kind of proud. You : « I shouldn't have said that, you're gonna get the confidence now » He laughs a little. Payton : « it's not like me » 😌 You : « sure » He smiles a bit. You : « well, shall we join the others ? I'm a bit cold » Payton : « yeah, where's my hoodie btw ? » You : « um.. hiding under my pillow » He looks at you. You : « I was planning to give it back to you huh.. » Payton : « but ? » You look away for two seconds. You : « but.. » smiling, a bit embarrassed, not knowing what to say. He raises his eyebrows, waiting for an answer. You : « there's no "but" actually, I just forgot » Payton : « oh, I see » smiling a bit. You : « but I'll give it back to you, dw » Payton : « no it's okay, you can keep it » smiling a bit. You : « ..cool » with a little smile.
After that, you go back inside with the others, they are still talking and do not even notice you. A few minutes later, you all decide to go to bed because it is late. You glance at Payton, he smiles at you, you smile back at him. Talia sees you, raises her eyes smiling a bit, then pulls you by the arm to go to bed. You all go back to your rooms and fall asleep.
