To Infinity and Beyond (An O2L fanfiction)

Chapter 50: London

(Peyton's P.o.v)

We have been in London for about a week. I have my phone, but my dad have me a new number so I can't contact anyone from the Is unless I have their number. My dad has days where he is nice, and days where he has an extremely short temper. And today was one of his short temper days.

"HEY SLUT!" My father yells at me
"Yeah?" I ask scared I will usually would talk back to him, but I have learned better.
"GET YOUR FATASS DOWN HERE!" He seethes. I slowly get up from my bed and walk into the living room.
"Yeah d-dad?" I stutter
"Don't talk balk to me!"He screams harshly throwing his beer bottle at me.

It hits my head and I feel a trickle of blood fall down the side of my head. Tears sting my eyes as he gets up from the couch. When he reaches me, he slaps my across the face so forcefully I fall to the ground. He kicks me in the side multiple times before he grabs me by my hair and lifts me up. He punches me directly in my eye and lip.

"Now get out of my site you worthless piece of shit." He spits at me.

I slide on a pair of sunglasses and a hoodie before I head down to the supermarket down the block. Surprisingly he lets me go where ever I want as long as I am back before sunset. I walk into the store and I grab one of those baskets. I fill it with my favorite snacks from here when I see a familiar shirt girl with ombré hair and two guys looking through the candy section. I know it's her because the accent is clear in her voice. I walk up to her and I tap her on the shoulder.

"Zoe?" I ask
"I'm sorry who ar- PEYTON IS THAT YOU?!" She screeches
"Shhh!" I whisper yell while everyone looks in our direction
"Oh my god are you okay?! I saw on the news before I returned from VidCon that you got kidnapped? Is that true?" She asks me
"No, it's not true. I just forgot to tell them I was flying here and I don't have a international plan so I can't communicate." I lie
"Oh do you want me to call Jc he been really wor-" she starts
"NO! I mean no. It's fine. Im leaving tomorrow anyways. " I say earning a weird look from Alfie and Joe
"Okay. Do you want to come to our house?" She asks me
"No it's fine, I have to grab some food for the hotel room anyways." I say pointing to the basket of food on my arm
"Oh okay. I'll talk to you later then?" She asks me
"Oh hey, I had to get a new number so I don't have anyone's contacts. Do you mind adding them in?" I ask handing her my phone.
"Not at all. I'll add in Alfie's and Joe's as well then." She says smiling.
"Could you add the boys of O2L too? I don't have theirs either." I ask. She just nods and opens the page to add in another contact.

After she is done entering the numbers, I thank her before grabbing a few items and I head to the checkout line. Right as I'm about to check out two policemen walk into the store. I can't get noticed or they will take me back. You are probably thinking I would want to go back, but as soon as the me would label me as found my dad would flee and just find me again so there is no point unless he is dead or in jail...again. The boy who is working the cash register yells a "next" and I walk up to the lane. I set my basket on the conveyer belt before he greets me.

"Hey Peyton." He says
"Hey wh- shit... How did you know it was me?" I ask the boy
"I love your videos. Plus Zoe practically yelled you were in my store. I'm Matt by the way." He states
"Nice to meet you Matt. And that is true, just don't tell anyone I'm here please." I beg him.
"On one condition." He says
"And what is that?" I ask him
"You hang out here until my shift is over and we go to your place since your kidnapper won't let you go anywhere?" He questions
"Fine. But just as friends. And you have to swear you won't tell anyone." I say in a serious tone
"Cross my heart and hope to die." He says drawing a cross on his heart.

After Matt scanned every item, I paid and sat on a chair next to him before I sent a text out to my father.

Me: Can a friend of mine come over?
Dad: whatever. Just make sure they don't tell anyone
Me: K
