Peyton's POV

I get up from my bed and see my phone had been moved... Jace. I pick it up and see messages from my social media and my friends sending me links to articles. I spent the links and see a picture of me walking to a restaurant without Jace. I read the article and it says " Jace Norman's girlfriend Peyton Coleman was seen in Downton L.A, last Friday meeting up with an unfamiliar guy. Insiders say they are just friends but are we really sure. These two seem closer than friends." I turn off my phone and put my head in my hands.-- I feel tears roll down my cheeks. I go onto twitter and tweet : 'to all those who are judgmental, I'm not cheating on Jace. I don't know if he has, but we are trying to solve the problem.' I throw some clothes on and grab my car keys. I drive to the only place I know, I won't bump into Jace. I head to the lacrosse field. I take out my sticks and see Bianca and Maeve practicing. I jog up to them and Maeve says " Peyton, did you see those articles about you and Jace? They're kinda bad." I play with the ball and say "yea, Maeve I did see the articles. They're all bullish**t. Yes, I did go to the restaurant but nobody knows why."

** later that day**

Jace's POV

I slam the car door close and head towards UNIVERSAL. I jog down all the stairs and enter the park. My friends all pass me leaving me standing alone. I see a group of girls entering the park and notice one with ombré hair.-- Peyton. I tell my friends to go towards Krustyland. The group of girls enter the studio tour. We wait in line and one of my friends Darren says "yo, Jace isn't that your girlfriend? That ombre one." I cringe as he refers to her as an object. I shrug my shoulders and pretend I don't recognize her. Darren doesn't believe me and says "lets find out then. Aren't you two still dating?"-- I was about to answer but he passes people and taps Peyton. I feel my stomach fall and I instantly get nervous.

Darren comes back and tell us that we can go up to the front with girls. We pass people and now we're a big group. All my friends go to their girlfriends so Peyton and I were left. I pull out my phone and go on instagram. I'm scrolling when I feel someone tap me.-- I look up and see Peyton. I shove my phone into my pocket and say ' hey, Pey.' Peyton looks away and says ' fine. everything's fine.' I look past her and say ' I know what you're going through. I'm going through it too.' Peyton laughs and says ' really, you know what its like to be accused of cheating on someone. Waking up almost everyday to a new article about me dating someone new everyday. It's.. its.. effecting me.' I debate whether to comfort her but I don't want her to fight back. I lean against the railing and say 'After our argument, word got out that I was also cheating. You know how bad it is to hear someone say "oh Jace, cheated on Peyton with this girl. Oh no, it was this other girl." Like hearing that crap is annoying. It's been ensign with my mind.'

Peyton's POV

Jace and I move up in the line and enter the shuttle. We head down the mountain and enter the King Kong part. The shuttle begins to shake and I jump into Jace's arms. I didn't realize I was sitting on his lap. Jace laughs and whispers "did someone get scared?" I roll my eyes and get off his lap. My pull out my phone and take snaps. I drop my phone when we hit a bump and Jace hands it back.-- our hands touch and I instantly flash back to when he would hold my hands and tell me he loved me. How he would dedicate his time to be with me. How I ruined our relationship. I look the other way and I feel tears roll down my cheeks. I sniff and my hand fall to my side.-- I feel someone hold it and whisper 'hey, I'm here for you. I don't like seeing you sad.' I turn and see Jace kissing my hand. I smile and wipe my tears. Jace leans closer and puts his hand on my face.-- he pulls me closer to his chest. Jace wraps his arms around my waist and whispers ' I missed seeing your beautiful smile.'- I blush and fiddle with his watch.

We get off the shuttle and go on the rest of the rides. Jace wins a unicorn for me and takes a picture. I watch him tweet: she's such as child ❤️. I giggle and intertwine my hand with Jace's. Jace's friends are buying doughnuts and I lean my head on Jace's shoulder and say 'I'm sorry if I made you mad. I just didn't want you to get involve with my problems. I really missed seeing you everyday.' Jace looks at me and says 'nothing can get me mad at you. But I felt a little untrusted. I want us to be in a healthy relationship.' I squeeze the unicorn and bury my head in it. Jace lifts my chin and says 'Peyton, I forgive you. I get it if you don't want me to be involved. I just want you to know that I'm always here. By your side.'-- he leans in closer and we kiss. I see a flash and see Bianca taking a picture. I look at her and say 'BIANCA! What the hell!' I grab her phone and see the picture.-- it looked so real. It showed the moment. I send it to my phone and post it; the only guy in my univers(al). @/jacenorman7. We all exit the park and Jace says ' I love you, Peyton.' I smile and say 'I love you too, Jace Norman.'

HI!!! It's been a while. But I'm back.
