Battle Of The Bitches. [5SOS]

Chapter 24

Payton's POV

"What are you making?" I whined. I sat up on the couch and let the piles of blankets fall off of me. My face felt poofy and I felt gruggy from sleeping all day.

"Dinner." I heard Tyler yell from the kitchen.I rolled my eyes and decided to turn on TV. I watched Toy Story a little before checking my phone. 24 texts from Luke. Damn. "Here you go madam." Tyler said walking into the living room. I set my phone on the table and sat criss cross on the couch.

"YAY! Chinese!" I said and actually smiled. He set a plate on my lap and placed one on his after sitting down next to me. This made my day a bit better. I dug into my food and didnt hold back. I was hungry. I haven't ate anything since breakfast yesterday.

"Welcome." He said and smirked at me. I rolled my eyes and continued eating. We ate all our food and Tyler brought our dishes to the kitchen. I checked the time. 6:00.

"Wanna watch a movie?" I asked.

"I'd love to but I told Ash I would hang with him tonight." He said it with a sad face like I was going to fall apart without him.

"Thats okay. Go have your bro time." I said and smiled at him. He returned it and grabbed his coat. I got up and met him at the door. He gave me a confused look.

"I- uhh- I just wanted to say-- uhh thank you." I said and a huge grin appeared on his face.

"Don't mention it." He chuckled.

"No really. I mean, yea, we've had our differences but it means a lot that you're here for me." I smiled and he just smiled and left. Just like that. I hope he doesn't think I'm hitting on him because thats the last thing I want to do. He's just been here for me when nobody else was. He made me stop crying last night and that means a lot. Even when I tried to tell him to leave me alone, he stayed.

I shut the door after him and rested my head on the door. I went back to the living room and flopped onto the couch. I channel surfed for a bit before I suddenly heard a soft knock on the door. It made me jump. I went to the door and quickly fixed up my hair so I didn't look like a total wreck.

I swung the door open and there stood Luke with his hands in his pocket. I froze and considered shutting the door but I couldn't bring myself to do it.

"Hi." He breathed out and I could see his breath from the cold. He looked at me with pity. Did he know?

"Hey." I said and stared at him for a few moments before stepping aside to let him in. He walked in and I shut the door behind him.

"We should talk." We said at the same time and looked at each other. Then we walked over to the couch and I moved my blankets over for him and I to sit.

"Okay you don't have to tell me what's going on. I just want you to know that I'm here for you so Tyler doesn't have to be." He said. I didn't know how to reply at first.

"I know. I want to tell you." I said and he looked at me expectedly. "My mom got a brain tumor when I was young. My dad left because he couldn't handle it. Ever since I've been taking care of her. She has been in a coma for about a year now and she has been having little episodes. That's when I hired this girl named Trish. Little did I know Trish was Tyler's mom and that's why he's here. "

Luke's face was unreadable. I didn't know what to expect next. Suddenly he wrapped his arms around me. I rested my head in the crook of his neck. I didn't realize I was crying until I saw a wet spot forming on Luke's shoulder.

"Sorry." I mummbled and poke the part I cried on. He chuckled softly.

"It's okay. Who all knows about this?" He ask pulling away.

"Just Michael and Tyler, and you now." I said and he wiped a tear from my cheek.

"I can't believe I was mad at you for this. I'm so sorry."

"It's okay I understand why you would be mad."

"Why did you keep it a secret?" He asks.

"I don't know. I was embarassed I guess. And I didn't want people to treat me differently." I admit. Instead of him saying anything he just pushed his lips onto mine. He placed his hand on the side on my face. I leaned back and laid on the couch so he was on top of me. The kiss got more and more intense. Suddenly my phone vibrated on the table and Luke looked at it.

"Well at least I know you got my texts." He said in a smartass voice.

"Shut up and kiss me." I ordered and he kissed me smiling. He began to kiss the spot between my jaw and neck. I bit my lip. Every kiss made every problem disappear. I was seriously falling hard for this boy. Luke began kissing down my neck and his hand found its way under my shirt.

We were abruptly stopped when we heard a knock at the door. We looked at each other in confusion and Luke got off me. I sat up and fixed my shirt which made Luke smirk.

I walked happily over to the door and Luke followed chuckling at my cuteness. I got to the door and swung in open.

I froze and my smile faded when I saw the absolute last person I ever wanted to see at my door. I could feel Luke looking at us confused.

"Hello Payton." He greeted with a straight face.

"Dad?"

Oooooooo cliffhanger! muahahah Thanks for reading! Don't worry soon Pay and Alex will fight. Calm down! They aren't in the chapters a lot together much anymore. Probably because we've been focusing more on their lives than anything.

Comment and give us some feedback! We need it! Love you all.
