I grab my phone and head down to the living room. I see Michael sitting on the couch with a shitload of different snacks and junk foods surrounding him.

"What happened with Payton and Alaska?" He asked not bothering to take his eyes off of his video game.

"Alaska just called and said she was going to talk to her now. I really hope this works, Mikey." I sigh tugging on my bottom lip with my teeth slightly.

"Chill, mate. She'll come around." He quickly looks at me and smiles before looking back at his game.

Alaska Evans

"Shit, Alaska. I'm so sorry. I'm just a really jumpy person and I wasn't expecting you to come down already. I'll buy you a new frame and everything. Shit, i'll help you clean it up." She bends down picking up the remains of the old picture frame.

"It-It's fine, Payton." I say quietly while picking up the shards of glass, "You didn't mean too." I walk to the kitchen and grab the small hand broom.

I clean all the glass and trough it all in the trash can. I grab the photo that was originally in the frame, I smile and tears form in my eyes as I look at the photograph.

It was taken on my 14th birthday. I was standing with my mother and father, smiling brightly while holding the baby kitten they had gotten me.

 "They loved you, you know." I glance up at Payton and she sends me a sad smile.

"Yeah, they use to tell me all the time." My voice sounds fragile and small, I walk over to the couch and sit down patting the seat next to me so Payton can sit down as well.

"I'm really sorry." Payton sighs, "About all of this." She waves her hands around.

"It's fine honestly. I'm fine." I give her a shy smile and place the photo on the coffee table in front of me.

"I remember how hard it was for me until I met Luke." She smiles blushing.

"How hard what was?" I asked playing with my fingers that we're resting in my lap.

"Well about two and a half years ago both of my parents we're killed in a car crash while I was at school." I look up at her and her lip seems to be trembling a bit.

"Aw, Payton, I'm so sorry. Gosh that's horrible." I rub her shoulder showing her sympathy.

"Things are better now," She pauses, "After I found a letter from my parents telling me Luke would take care of me." I start to think about the letter from my dad.

"Oh! I got one of those too, " I say standing up, "Lemme go get it."

I go upstairs to my room and grab the letter from my drawer. I walk down the stairs and hand the letter to Payton.

Her eyes scan the page as she reads, she looks up, "This is exactly what mine said."
