Popstar Addiction

Chapter 6 - Max?

Peyton's POV

Once I got home I kicked off my shoes and sat on my lumpy leather couch. I turned on the TV. The channel was on NEWS. Oh gosh this sucks. Right as I was about to change it I heard that there was a murder in my neighborhood. Wait an actual MURDER? How could that be? My neighborhood is peaceful! 

NEWS:

The death of a child has happened here on this street Hamilton. It was the death of a boy named Max Fisherton.

Max! Who the hell would do this to Max? I immediatlely checked my phone. 

TEXTS:

Max: Hi sorry I was sleeping! (11:45 AM)

Max: There are some loud knocks on my door. Is that you? (3:45 PM)

Max: Peyton! It's Daniel! Help! (3:55 PM)

Daniel.. I would never think that he's violent. I knew that he was rich and all but now violent. Why Daniel? Why?

I hope he gets life in jail or the death sentence! Dammit.. Why Max? Why? I loved you and now you're dead. I trusted you and you get hurt. More specifically you die... DING! DING! DING! DING! My phone is going off.. Better check who it is.

TEXTS

Maria: LOOK ON CHANNEL 5!

Me: I know the NEWS....

Maria: Oh I'm sorry :(

Me: No it's not your fault. I've gtg

Maria: Alright. Text me whenever

Me: Ok bye

I ran out of the house and to a grassy plain next to my house. I sat down under a big beautiful oak tree and thought. I thought about what just happened. When I finally love someone they're just gone like that. When I finally have something good happen to me. The entire day passed by of me sitting under that big oak tree. Once I had the courage to get up, I walked home in sorrow. I opened the door slowly with my head down and my face hidden by my hair. I knocked on my dad's bedroom door. "Hey dad can I come in?" There was no response. He sleeps alot anyways.  I walked down the hall to my bedroom and jumped on my bed. My body was sprawled across the matress. I looked up at the ceiling. Time passed by quick. Before I knew it, it was 10:00. I brushed up and went to bed.

The next morning I got up at 12:30. Oh gosh I slept through the entire morning. I walked into the kitchen and grabbed myself some Frosty Flakes. I as I was about to pour it into my bowl a loud knock was on my door. "Ugh! Maria" I opened up the door to the bright sunshine. I blocked my eyes from the blinding light. "Morning sunshine!" A male voice said. I brought my gaze to his face. It was Colton Gold. Again. "What do you want?" "Was that guy who you liked?" He asked frowning. He seemed concerned about this. "If he was, so what?" "May I?" He pointed inside my house. "Go ahead" I seemed to get more comfortable with him. Remembering that he liked me I kept my guard high. He walked in and immediately sat on the couch. "You didn't answer my question" I said sitting down next to him. He chuckled. "If you liked him then I'm sorry for your loss" His face shrank into a frown once I didn't reply. "Peyton" He reached out and grabbed my arm. I didn't move. "I'm really sorry" I looked up into his dark brown eyes. "N-no it's okay. Really" I looked back down at my feet. I then realized that I was still in my pajamas and jumped up. "You have to go!" "No!" I shook my head. "What do you mean no?" "I traveled here for you! Just please let me stay!" Why was he so desperate for my attention? "Yeah fine whatever. I'm getting dressed just let me ask my dad"

I walked up the steps to my dad's bedroom. "Dad you awake?" I said in a soft soothing voice. I slowly opened the door and saw his mouth wide open and the water from the ice pack leaking all over his face. He was as white as snow. "Dad!" I ran over to his body. He was covered in all sorts of blankets. I gently laid the back of my hand on his drenched forehead. Cold. "Why?" I mutter. "Why the hell is this happening to me?" I felt his pulse. There was no beat left. He's dead. I cried over him. I cried for what felt like forever. Then I saw a presence in the doorway. "Oh my god!" There was Colton. He just stood there with his cute styled hair and tight red T-shirt that showed off his biceps. No! Why am I thinking this? 

I will NOT have feelings for this guy! He walked over and kneeled next to me. "I heard you crying" he whispered. I didn't say anything. His hand was close to my face. He wiped off a tear. I turned my attention back to my dad. I started to cry again not caring that a wildly famous and rich popstar was next to me. I didn't care that I was in pajamas anymore. I just wanted my dad back. After a few minutes I looked over to Colton. His face was stone cold and pale. He showed no emotion and just looked at my dad. Then he caught me staring at him and I turned away quickly, blushing. He put his arm around me and I allowed it. I of course wouldn't allow anything else but he was just being a good friend. Before I knew it, it was 2:30. "I should go" He said quietly. He started to get up but I stopped him. I grabbed his arm. "Please. Stay" He nodded and kneeled back down. I could tell he was getting tired so I suggested that we could go to a special place.

He looked confused. "And leave your dad here?" "Just trust me" I grabbed his hand and we ran out the door. We ran to the plains that I was at yesterday. I lead him to the big oak tree and we sat down. The sun was beating down on us but the leaves hid us from the blinding rays. He smiled at me once we sat. "So this is your special place?" "Yeah. I find it relaxing" I put my head up against the tree and looked at his face. He looked at me but this time I didn't look away. He had high cheekbones and a small nose. He had a few unnoticable freckles and perfectly curved lips. He saw me examining him and smirked. "You enjoying the view?" "Maybe, it seems that you enjoyed your view" I teased. He blushed at this comment. I got Colton Gold to blush! The boy who had girls lining up for him!

"You know you're beautiful right?" He said. "No I'm not. Colton I know you're trying to play me. Just when I start to like you, you break my heart. Isn't that right?" He looked hurt. "N-no?!" I knew he was lying because why would he like me? "What do you want Colton? Why do you want me to like you?" "Nothing! And I'm not forcing you to like me!" This time he sounded annoyed.  "Yeah whatever" I just shook him off and looked the other way. Then I felt a warm touch on my hand. I looked down and saw that his hand was on top of mine. I didn't pull away just yet. I let it stay there. Then I looked up at his face. "I care for you, Peyton" I knew he was sincere about it. I could tell by the look in his eye. Then I grabbed his hand. I didn't know what I was doing. It felt wrong but right at the same time. It felt like I was cheating on Max. I wanted to just run into his arms and cry. I wanted to tell him all of my fears. But I didn't. I just held it in and didn't say anything. I just let it build up inside me. Until I did let it out. I burst into tears and hugged him. I just cried on his shoulder and felt his embrace. I was scared and desperate I didn't know what to do. Then I calmed down and wiped my eyes. "I'm sorry" I whimpered. "Don't be" He hugged me and I felt a tingly sensation go through my entire spine. "I love you" He whispered into my ear. I couldn't say it back I just couldn't. So I let go of him. "I should be going" I said quietly. "I'll come!" "No..." I stopped him before he could say another word. I started to walk back home. I felt his stare on my back. I had regret but there was no turnign back now. I had to go home and deal with my dad's dead body.

Would I become an orphan child? Unless Maria would let me live with her, the only other option I have left is living with..... Colton.....
