alyssa's pov

we got into my jeep and left the school. the ride was silent other then me playing 'i still do' by why dont we.

half way to payton's house he started speaking.

"alyssa i don't get why you're giving me the cold shoulder. what'd i do wrong?" he said.

"why'd you think niyah was right earlier payton? should we really lay off each other?" i said saltily.

"no we don't. i just didn't want to hear y'all fight." he said.

"well why'd you push me away for the rest of the day, until you needed something?" i said upset, and about to cry.

"she told me to keep my distance." he said like he's expected to do every little thing she asks.

"i'm starting to feel like you care for her more the you do for me." i said straight from the heart.

we had pulled up in front of his house and he got out.

he motioned me to get out so i did.

he held his arms open, and i basically ran into them.

"lyss, there aren't enough words in the universe to explain how much i care for you. i care for her but i care for you way more. you have always been there when she put me down and i want to thank you for that. i love you alyssa. im sorry i made you feeling that way." he said as he squeezed me tight.

"you're literally such a great best friend . i definitely don't deserve you." i said as i cry a bit.

"you honestly deserve better. but i'm glad you decided to call me you're best friend, because honestly without you, i'd die." he squeezed my hand in reassurance as we pull away.

"shit. i got to go. chase is waiting on me. love you payton. see you tomorrow." i said.

"love you too aly." he said.

"hey i like that." i said referring to the nickname.

"me too, looks like i got you a new name." he said. i gave him a cheeky smile and waved as i pulled out.

my phone dinged.

"uh hi lyss. we need to talk. i can't hang tonight." he said with a sad smile.

"oh. why?" i sad frowning.

"cynthia is back." he muttered.

he was madly in love with her before she left, and she loved him too.

"ooh, that's great. um go ahead. have fun." i said fake smiling. looking down.

"i'll see you soon cynthia." he said into the phone and hung up.

"alyssa, im sorry." he said.

"no you're not. just go and be happy. lord knows i tried. was that not good enough!" i questioned loudly.

"lyssa you were more then enough. i really like you, but i love-" i cut him off.

"but you love cynthia. right. it's whatever. just go chase." i said as my voice broke.
