Now to the story,
Peyton's POV:
I didn't want to be a jerk to Rowan, I just needed to get home.
After she ran away crying I left and walked home. The walk took about a hour.
Out of nowhere my phone buzzed. A text? In the middle of the night? The text said,
"What the hell is wrong with you?"
The text was from Sabrina. I decided to call her.
She picked up almost instantly.
(S- Sabrina, J- Jake, C-Cory, P-Peyton, R-Rowan)
S: Shhh..
P: What?
Obviously she was talking to somebody else.
C: What the fuck Peyton?!
P: What?!
S: Your being a jerk.
P: Can I just come over and explain?
J: No!
S: *whispers* I think he should.
C: *whispers back* Why?
S: You can come over. My house.
P: I'll be there.
I hung up and ran out of my room grabbing my jacket on the way.
"Peyton honey, where are you going?" My mom said as I had my hand on the doorknob.
"Cory needs me to help him. His car is broke down," I made up. Cory doesn't have his license yet but she doesn't know that.
"Okay well be safe."
I nodded and left. The drive was pretty much me just worrying what's going to happen?
The car stopped in front of her house and I walked up to the door and knocked.
"Come in Peyton..." somebody said behind the door. I walked in. Where's Rowan?
"Where's-"
"What do you need to explain?" Jake interuped me with a serious face.
"Woah chill. I will explain. I had to get home because my mom," I started and sat down acrossed them," She wanted me home and was worried. I had to leave. It was never my intention to hurt Rowan. I just didnt want her to worry."
"Is that the truth?" Cory questioned.
"You guys seriously don't trust me? I'm still your guy's friend, right?"
"Are you telling the truth or not?" Sabrina said.
"I am. Why would I lie? Now am I still your friend?"
"Dude of corse you are. But if somebody, ANYBODY, hurts one of our friends, they will be hated," Jake demanded.
Cory, Sabrina, and I all bursted into laughter.
"What?" he questioned.
"Somebody STILL likes Rooowan..." Sabrina teased.
Wait...He liked Rowan? Wait...He still likes her?
"What!?" I raised my voice. He gulped.
"Oh geez. Peyton... I don't like her... It's just a crush..Nothing serious."
"So you do like her?"
"Yes," he simply said.
"No. He lovvvves her," Sabrina said. Yeah I know she jokes but NOT THE TIME.
By this time we were all standing up. Sabrina and Cory were by eachother on my right. And Jake was in front of me.
"What are you going to do about-" Before he could finish I tackled him. "Woah!"
He got on top of me and started punching me. I rolled over and was on him now doing the same.
"Peyton no. Come on guys. Really?" Sabrina said.
"It's not worth it. Just stop," Cory added.
I will kill jake right now,"Stay away from Rowan. You hear me?" I whispered in his ear when I was on top again.
My hand gripped onto his collar.
"Fuck you," he said. I punched him hard.
"PEYTON PLEASE STOP!" Rowan's voice yelled. She felling on her nees crying.
While I was distraced looking at sad Rowan, Jake made a move.
I looked down at him and he knocked me out.
Rowan's POV:
Sabrina, Cory, and Jake were on the phone downstairs. I don't know with who though because Sabrina told me to go to her room.
It had been an hour and I still can't come down. So I texted Uriah.
*Text*
Me: Hi Uriah. You up?
Uriah✌: Yeah, What's up Row?
Me: I really like you but I really like peyton.
Uriah✌: It's okay. I like somebody else now.
Me: Awesome! :)
I texted like I was happy but I wasn't. He is over me? Why do I care? Shouldn't I be glad I can just date Peyton?
There was yelling downstairs. My heart was racing.
" Wh-What's going on? Guys? Can I come down now?" There was no answer.
I started tapping my fingers on Sabrina's floor that I was sitting on at the moment. The tapping was trying to keep me from going down there.
It didn't work well...
I ran downstairs and saw Peyton on top of Jake. They were both bloody. It reminded me of when Uriah almost killed Peyton.
"PEYTON PLEASE STOP!" I screamed in fright. Trying to hold in the tears didn't work either. I bursted out crying and fell to the floor.
Once I looked up I noticed Peyton looking at me. He smiled a concerned look. It was ruined by Jake knocking him out.
"JAKE!?" I started to scream again, "WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?"
