After the bell

Seventy

Harry sits there looking at the evidence that I put down in front of him looking it over, the office was in deadly silent for a few minutes till Harry looks up at me.

"You been going through my stuff? My private personal stuff?" He said staring at me angrily.

"Looks like it don't it" I retorted "so you going to explain why you came into millions which you have hidden in different bank accounts?"

Harry stares at me before gonna going to pick up the phone "I'm ringing the police" he said

"I wouldn't do that" I said leaning forward stopping him picking up the phone.

"His not meant to be near you those was the conditions of his release" Harry reminded me.

"Yeah" I nodded "the order that you got put on him" I reminded him "also I think the police would be more interested in you as you have been money laundering"

Harry gets up picking up the papers walking over to his shredder, I watch him put them in one by one

"Oh Harry I wouldn't of bothered I have copy after copy" I informed him.

"Really now?" Harry said turning to look at me.

"Yeah not just me either" I informed him.

"So this is your big plan Peyton, come here threaten to get me arrested to help your teacher" Harry asked with a dry laugh

"Actually no" I said shaking my head "I know you have been having an affair"

Harry stands there and chuckles slightly "an affair?" He questioned me.
"Oh Peyton what fantasy world are you leaving in?"

"I'm living in the real world, this world, I know you have been having it away with Tina Butler,  and I'm here to make you a deal"

"A deal? Oh this as gonna be good" Harry chuckled

"Get the order on Jon dropped and I won't tell my mom you been playing hide the sausage with that blond Barbie doll" I smiled.

"You won't tell her, if you did she won't believe you" Harry said crossing his arms.

"No she won't but she will believe this" I said pulling out my phone playing what I recorded from the wardrobe.

"You fucking bitch!" Harry snapped at me stepping forward to me.

"You wanna watch your mouth I won't have you talking to Peyton like that" Jon warned him stepping in front of me slightly.

"You seriously came here to blackmail me" Harry asked me.

"Yeah I have" I Informed him "you know why? Because you panicked that much seeing me around Jon's apartment building that you have your love nest at, that you set out to destroy what we have, that's something I'm not letting go"

"I'm not getting that order dropped" Harry said firmly

"Fine I'm telling my mom I'm sure she would love to see this video" I told him as I turned around.

"You wouldn't" Harry said his voice slightly panicked.

"Watch me" I said going to the door.

"Okay" Harry said picking up the phone "I will get someone onto it now"

Harry makes the arrangements to get the order dropped on Jon
"Should be done by the end of the day" Harry said to me.

"Good" I smiled going to walk away.

"That video" Harry said stopping me and Jon from leaving "I want you to delete it, along with all the copies of the paperwork"

"No can't do Harry boy" I said going to walk out the door.

"You will get rid of it or I will make you get rid of it" Harry demanded.

"Did you seriously just say that to me? To the girl that's holding a prison cell over your head" I asked shocked.

"Yeah, yeah I did, you have had you fun Peyton, got what you wanted now you can get rid of that bull crap"

"You sound a little worried there Harry" I replied to him.

"Well I have good reason to" he nodded

"Your right you do" I said "but your secret is safe right this second" I opened the door walking down the corridor seeing my mom walking my way.

"What's he doing here?" She asked sneering at Jon

"Harry called us in, he has dropped the order on Jon" I told her lying.

"What why?" She asked confused.

"Something to do with the rumours that's going around about him" I said looking at her.

"Rumours what rumours?" My mom asked me slightly confused.

"You know, about the rumours about him having an affair with Tina Butler, the blonde tarty teacher at my school, everyones talking about it. He thought I started it so he called me in and offered to drop the charges on Jon if i put everyone right, but sadly I never started them" I informed my mom.

My mom walks off heading to Harry's office and I walk off smiling turning to look at Jon who shakes his head at me with slight disapproval but I could see him smirking slightly.

I stop at the reception desk pulling out a big brown envelope "can I help you Peyton?" The receptionist asked

"Yeah, this needs to be put on my moms desk I want it to remain anonymous" I informed the receptionist she nods her head taking it from me.

I walk out to the car smiling to myself and I  look over to Jon who stared at me "you told you stepdad you was keeping it to yourself "

"I said his secret was safe with me right that second, I didn't say for how long" I stated.

We get in the car Jon leans over kissing me "thank you"

"You don't have to thank me, they just happened to mess with the one thing in this world I'd fight to the death for" I informed him smiling.

Jon leans in kissing me, for the first time in weeks things was finally starting to go our way.
