Chapter 23- We need to talk

Payton's POV

     After that day at the doctors office I was broken. But I wasn't the only one. Nearly everyone around me was. The worst part was when I had to call my parents and tell them the news. Right now I am heading up to my best friend's room(aka Riley) to get her butt out of bed and to talk to me. When I got up there all I saw was a bundle of sheets on the bed.  I walked over to the bed and started to tug on the blankets but she was wrapped up in a burrito.

"Riley come on." I said yanking on the sheets

When I finally got one lose I unwrapped her. Once I did an unholy stentch was released. Apparentley she skipped over showering on her to do list.

"Riley, we need to talk" I said holding my nose.

"I don't wanaaaa"

"Riley come on, we need to talk and you smell like death." Still holding my nose

"Thanks" She said looking up at me giving me a straight look

"That's what friends are for!" Making a cupcake face "Now get your butt out of there" I said ripping the sheets completely off her bed

"Ok you can take a shower first" I said waving my hand infront of my face

Once I literally had to drag her to the shower and wait outside the door while she bathed so she wasn't fakeing I had to clean her up. By 'cleaning her up' I mean, I picked out a gorgeous outfit and did her hair and makeup. Usually it's her doing this role but she needed it.

After I was done I forced her to look in the mirror. When she did I could see the shock in her eyes but she tried to hide it.

"Thank you, thank you." I said bowing 

"Why did you get me dressed up foorrr" she whined

"We are going out!" I said energetically while gabbing my purse and jacket

"But Payton I really don't-

"Relax, it's just coffee." I reassured her in a more relaxed tone

Once we got in the car I tried anything to make her crack a smile. I went from telling her about how I accidently tripped Harry on our first date, to retelling the story on how Louis got kicked out at the movies on my birthday, and retelling her about Niall's war stories also from my birthday. But since I had no memory I couldn't really tell her anything else.

It didn't take long to get to the little shop so once we did we walked right in. After we were sat down with my wonderful smelling peppermint tea intfront of me I started to try to talk to her.

"Riley you can't blame yourself on what happened." I said in a quiet tone

"Really, I am the one who signed you up for the thing." She said giving me a straight look

"Look, I don't remember but I am 99.99 percent sure that it was my decision and if I didn't want to go, I wouldn't have. And it's not your fault the engines gave out."

"Yea I know but-

"No buts Riley. It's not your fault. If anyone's it's mine." I told her

"Now give me a hug" I said getting out of my seat and hugging her

After our little talk she seemed to be a little brighter. I know it was just a small talk but it seemed to do the trick. I actually got her to laugh! I didn't expect her to go back to normal right away so I am giving her a little time. We didn't do much after that, we just talked for a while and went home. Since it was the weekend we were left bored.
