Nothing like starting over (Hunter hayes fan fiction)

Chapter 27/Confessions

PAYTON'S POV

I had fun with hunter tonight. He acted a little funny when I said bye but I guess he's had a weird night. I folded my arms and smiled at the access clothing around me. Hunters hoodie didn't smell like him though. It kinda did but it smelled like cigarette smoke. Maybe it was an old hoodie from before. I walked to my car and drove home. I walked up and looked upwards at my balcony window to see if there were any lights on. I saw one. Maybe Lucas was still awake. I tired to be quite while I opened the door. I looked around and didn't see Lucas. Or hear him. Ugh. He always forgets to shut off lights. I smiled at my thought. Then I frowned. I forgot that me and him broke up. I know to sounds weird. Like how could I forget but I did. With everything that was happening with hunter and with how nice Lucas was it slipped my mind for the moment.

I switched off the light and went to take a shower. Almost by accident I started for my old bedroom. Then I remembered I didn't sleep there anymore. I slept in the spare room now. I got in the shower and it felt really good. To just let the warm water run around me and think.

I took a long shower but I was just going to bed afterwards anyway it didn't matter. I stepped out of the shower and brushed my hair. I put on my bra and undies and slipped hunters hoodie over me, I felt comfy. I opened the door still trying to be quite.

"Payton ?" I heard Lucas ask sleepily from the dark doorway of his bedroom.

"Yeah it's me. Sorry did I wake you ?"

I heard him move.
"No no no I was getting up anyways, have to use the bathroom. Then I heard the shower running" he yawned walking out of his room fully.

"I'm sorry." I stood awkwardly in the hall

"For what ? You didn't do anything but bath" he laughed.

I laughed to. I noticed he was staring at me weirdly.

"What ?" I asked

"Who's is that ?" he gestured at the hoodie. It was then I realized I was only wearing hunters hoodie. I looked at him and he was in what he usually wears to bed which was just boxers. Awkward.

"Oh it's hunters. I was over at his place and we ordered Chinese and i spilled soy sauce all over me. So he gave me this to wear." I told him.

"Oh. Cool." was all he said.

We just stood there. It was weird. Normally right now me and Lucas would be cuddled up together in bed. But now we are both standing awkwardly in the hallway not speaking.

"So are you and him a thing ?" Lucas asked out of nowhere

"What ? no ? he's confused right now Lucas. And so am I." I said

"Oh. About what ?" he moved past me and into the kitchen

"About his accident ? he's been having such a hard time lately. Oh ! I didn't tell you ! he remembered his accident ! he cried Lucas. He ran away from everyone and had a breakdown in the middle of the street. It was awful" I sat on one of our Barstools.

"That's horrible. Why did his boss say ? And I meant what are you confused about ?"

"Betsy ? she just let him have some time to breathe and relax." I said bringing my knees up to my chin. Kind of ignoring his question about my confusion. I didn't really want to tell him how I've been smooching with hunter.

"He's gonna find out you know" Lucas said opening the cabinet getting bowls out

"I know. I don't know what's gonna happen when he gets his memory back. I have to help him write or he'll lose his record deal. I'm basically helping them lie. I feel so bad" I sighed rubbing my arms. It made me more aware that I was wearing hunters hoodie with nothing underneath it and i had my ex boyfriend in front of me.
