Shame pulses through my heart
From the things I've done to you
It's hard to face, but the fact remains
That this is nothing new
I left you bound and tied with suicidal memories
Selfish beneath the skin
But deep inside I'm not insane
Almost Easy ~ Avenged Sevenfold

Peytons POV

I can't believe he left, after everything that had happened, one call from them and he left again.
I wiped my face, I couldn't believe I was crying over him again, I needed to stop.
I rolled over carefully, Matt had been right, I was in pain, alot of pain, even the tablets weren't working.
I decided to have a bath, maybe that would help with my soreness, but as I climbed into the bath I realised that some of the soreness was from our in bed activities.
I really wanted to smile, I did. The sex had been great, I loved sleeping next to him, I loved his company, it was just that he'd fucked off to see that bitch Tess, he said he'd be back, but when, today, tomorrow? I guess I'd just have to wait and see.
The bath was relaxing me and I felt my eyelids getting heavier. I decided to get out before I accidentally fell asleep and dropped my arm with the cast into the water.
I got dressed and went out to the living, laying on the couch and getting comfortable. I wanted to call Rosie, tell her about last night, but then I would have to tell her about where he was now and I didn't want to, I was upset and Rosie would be pissed.
I just wish he would come back, I thought to myself as I drifted off.
Now I don't know if it was the pain pills or not but I was having a pretty weird dream.
I was laying on a beach and there were men everywhere, hundreds of them and each one so damn good looking. I didn't know which one to look at, and the funny thing, they were all in love with me, taking turns telling me why and how much they loved me. I had to make a decision, I had to choose which guy I wanted.
"Peyton."
It was Matt's turn, he was standing before me on the beach and I looked at him, he was all hot, sweaty and shirtless, none of these other guys stood a chance.
"Peyton, wake up."
I looked up at him. "I am awake."
"Open your eyes." He whispered.
I opened my eye's and I was back in my living room, not at some sexy man infested beach.
"Are you okay?" He murmured.
I blinked, trying to wake myself up. "You're here?"
He raised his eyebrows. "I told you I was coming back."
I sat up, fuck, it hurt.
"Don't move baby." He murmured, sitting down and wrapping his arm's around me.
"How did you get in?"
"I took your key with me because I had a feeling you'd be asleep."
I nodded, laying my head on his chest. "What time is it?"
"Um." He said pulling out his phone. "Just after 11."
"Eleven?"
"A.M."
"You weren't gone long." I said.
"I told you I wouldn't be long." He whispered, kissing me. "But I guess you didn't believe me."
I shrugged, what could I say?
"How did it go?" I asked him.
He kissed me again. "Who fucking cares." He murmured. "I'm with you, I'm not going anywhere and everyone, including you needs to get over it."
I smiled, laying my head on his chest again. "Geez, okay."
"You should get some more sleep."
"It's these pills, they make me so sleepy." I told him, yawning.
"So, go to sleep."
I shook my head.
"Peyton." He sighed. "I'm not going anywhere, I'll still be right here when you wake up."
"Okay." I whispered.
"Now lay down, go to sleep." He said, laying me down on the couch gently.
He leant over and kissed me softly. "I almost forgot." He murmured against my lips.
"What?"
He reached over to the coffee table, grabbing a little box. "I got you this." He said, opening it.
I looked, inside was a heart on a chain. It was beautiful, it had a pattern on it and a diamond in it.
"What is this?" I asked, still looking at it.
"This." He said getting it out if the box. "Is my heart." He put it around my neck.
"Don't be silly." I whispered.
"I'm not Peyton, I'm serious." And he was. "It's my heart, I'm giving it to you, and even when I'm not here, you still have it."
I hugged him, well as best I could with my stupid arm. He was a romantic sap and I loved that.
"Thank you." I whispered.
"Please look after my heart." He murmured.
I looked at him and smiled. "Always."
He kissed me again and held me, and that is all I really wanted.
I felt myself drifting off to sleep again, happy.
"Peyton." Matt whispered. "If you ever tell anybody I said that stuff about my heart I'll deny it."
I smiled, he was perfect.
