The Retweet

chapter 37

Jace's POV

I open the fridge and examine the food that's in there and I sigh. nothing as usual. I grab a pear and plump down on the couch. My phone buzzes ; texts from my manager and some friends I read through them and decide to check social media. My twitter is blowing up with tweets of articles and fans asking me why I haven't seen Peyton. I run my hands down my face and feel so pressured to tell everyone everything. - I won't. My dog Henry runs into the living just as hard knocks come from the front door. I look at the time - 11:45 pm. I furrow my eyebrows and open the door. Peyton is standing there with half her dress sliding down her shoulder. I lean against the door and say "have you come to give me an apology or what?"Peyton cocks her head to the side and says "I like your hair like that. It makes you look older." She steps closer to me and wraps her arms around me. I freeze and pry Peyton off of me. I pull out my phone and call Julia. - it goes right to voicemail. great.

I bring Peyton to the couch and Peyton says "you look like someone I know. A guy." I sigh and get her some Advil. I give it to her and I pull out my phone to figure out where Peyton was. I scroll through people's stories and see she was at a club. I look over to Peyton who was playing with her hair and say "Peyton, did you realize you're 18?" She stops and gives me a look. She walks up to me and pushes me against the couch. She sits on my lap and whispers "oh really? That means we can play around." I try to get Peyton off me but she doesn't budge. I look into her eyes and see the girl I loved before. I shake my head and say "Peyton I can't. We're broken up."

Peyton's POV

I wake up and immediately feel sick. I run into the bathroom and throw up. I look at myself in the mirror and see that I look like literally trash. where did I go? where am I? I walk back into the room and see that I'm not home. I go downstairs and see someone sleeping on the couch - Jace snuggled next to Henry. I approach him and Henry sees me and jumps on Jace. - he groans. I slowly move m hand to comfort him but then I remember the last time he saw me he was mad. I step back and hit the tables where cups shook. Jace sits up alarmed and looks at me. He sighs and says "oh, it's just you." Why is he pissed it's only me? I fix my dress and say "Jace?......Why am I here?" Jace takes off his sweater and says "ask yourself. You just showed up at my front door." I sit on the sofa across from Jace and say "I'm sorry if I said anything yesterday." He laughs and mumbles "said?. more like acted." My phone buzzes and I see the caller ID : Aidan. I contemplate if I should answer but Jace says "if its your boyfriend go ahead."- he gets up and leaves. I answer and Aidan is yelling at me through the phone. I rub my temples and say "Aidan stop yelling. I have a huge headache and Im not in the mood." I hang up and walk into the kitchen where Jace is pouring himself some coffee. I sit on a stool and say "Jace, Are you mad at me?"

He sips his coffee and says " of course not Peyton. I'm overjoyed with you." I roll my eyes and say "Jace, please I don't like us being on bad terms." Jace sets down his mug and looks me straight in the eyes. He says "Peyton, all I've ever done to you is give you love and commitment. I don't like being used or being taken advantage of." I look away and say "I've tried my best to give you the relationship you wanted but I'm always dumb in making choices. You know that." Jace laughs and says "so trying you're best is dumping me for my best friend? Seeing a guy or multiple behind my back? Taking me back like I'm just you're back up?!"- he sniffs and I see some tears roll down his cheeks. I begin to feel guilty. My eyes open wide and I think "that's how Jace feels?" I begin to tear up and I say "I never meant to hurt you in any way. My choices always affect you. I'm always wrapped up in some crap which always tangles you in it. I can't handle it!" - I get up and walk into the living room. I hear footsteps and I feel arms wrap around me. Jace whispers "hey.hey calm down Pey. Stop crying. We're going to overcome this ok?" I turn to look at Jace who's eyes are a bit red from crying and I cup his face and bring his forehead closer to mine and I whisper "I am so sorry for dragging you into all my drama. I feel so bad." Jace lifts up my chin and looks into my eyes.

Jace's POV

I look into Peyton's eyes and see how sorry she really is. I look down at her lips that I haven't kissed in a while. I break our tension and kiss Peyton. She doesn't react and I pull away. Peyton plays with my hair and says "stop acting like I deserve another chance." I pull Peyton closer to me and say " we're going to start fresh. We're going to leave everything in the past."- I smile. Peyton giggles and says "you have the dorkest smile ever." I kiss her again and I say " you love it though." Peyton hugs my waist and says into my chest "do you forgive me?" I pull us apart and say "yes. But promise me you won't stab me behind my back anymore?" Peyton holds out her pinkie and I shake it.
