Back Where I Belong

Chapter 7

Just a quick little reminder, Zoey only views the boys as brothers. And the boys only view Zoey as a sister. There will be no boyfriend/ girlfriend relationships between them. And, I'm apologizing in advance for this sucky chapter. I swear, this book will get better. I know it's really bad right now.

Zoey's pov

"Where are Peyton, Charlotte, and Jace?" I question, picking at the scrambled eggs on my plate.

"They went back home a few days after you got taken. They can come back on tour with us if want," Calum answers. I nod. I miss them.

"Michael?" Peyton's voice asks through the phone.

"No," I say, my voice cracking, "I'm just borrowing Michael's phone."

"Zoey? Oh my God! How? Did the boys get you back?" My boyfriend questions.

Just hearing his voice puts a small smile on my lips, "Sort of. I was taken to the hospital. Then they found me there."

"The hospital? Why were you in the hospital? I swear to God if they hurt you-"

"I'm fine, Peyton," I reassure him.

"Zoey, don't lie to me. I'm coming back on tour with you guys. I'll be on the next plane out there," he says. I hear shuffling on the other end and realize that he must be packing.

"Peyton, you don't have to come back out here. I know it's a lot of money and a long way to travel," I reason.

"Babe, I'm coming out there. I miss you to death and I know you miss me," Peyton says. I don't reply. He knew me too well.

"I'll see you in a couple of hours, okay?" He asks, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Okay. I can't wait to see you again, baby," I reply, my smile returning.

"I can't wait to see you too. I love you Zoey," Peyton says.

"I love you too." Then we both hang up.

"Thanks for letting me use your phone, Mikey," I say, tossing the iPhone at him.

He catches it, "No problem. Is Peyton coming back on tour?"

I nod, "Yep. He already started packing."

Michael smiles, "He really loves you, you know. And you two are cute together."

I laugh, "You sound like Charlotte."

Michael laughs along with me, "You're friends are rubbing off on me."

"Is that really a bad thing?" I giggle. He shakes his head no, smiling at me.
