Chapter 44

Rebbeca

"I need to go to the bathroom real quick" I said as I got up from the booth Mikey and I were sitting at. We finished our food and we're about to leave but I needed to build up the courage and ask Peyton about Austin. Mikey nodded and pulled out his wallet to leave a tip.

I walked towards the bathroom and tried searching for her as I made my way there, I scanned the restaurant with my eyes as fast as I could. Just as I was about to drop it and leave ,I bumped into someone. "Sorry my bad" I heard her say. I looked at her, it was Peyton. I had a little burst of energy, "it's alright" I smiled.
"You're Peyton right?" I asked, she nodded as she smiled back at me.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Rebbeca. Do you go to Richwood?" I said kind of rushing the convo so we would get straight to the point. She shook her head "Yea I do actually, I've seen you around" she said, it took me by surprise. How come I've never noticed her? I stared at her for a moment letting her know that it was serious.

"Someone told me that you were at the party, the night where he died" I said, Peyton looked nervous but then tried to hide it. "Yea, I was." She stated. That was enough information that I needed, I turned to walk away but Peyton grabbed my arm. "I wasn't the last person who was with him though, after I left his room. I saw a man walk in there before closing the door. I didn't think much of it because Austin ran a weed business I thought it was someone who wanted to buy something" she explained, I felt a little creeped out.

"I already talked to the police about it" she added, I leaned in a little closer to her "What did the man look like" I asked. "He was dressed in all black, he had blondish curly hair. He had glasses, um he had a little bit of a beard" she said. I nodded taking in the information.
I felt a hand gently touch my shoulder and I slightly jumped.

It was Mikey "there you are, ready to go?" He asked, I looked back at Peyton, she half smiled and walked away. I stared at her, how do I know if she was telling the truth? I ignored it and looked at Mikey instead. "Yea sorry I was asking her a question" I said, he nodded not really caring about it.

We walked out and got back into his car, the car ride back home was a little silent.

Mikey pulled up in my driveway and lowered the music, I reached over and got my bag from the backseat. "You wanna come inside?" I asked, Mikey shook his head "can't gotta help dad with more work at the asylum" he said. I laughed "oh my god that place again" I said, he nodded. "Yea I heard some employee was killed there, but I don't know if it's fake or not" he chuckled. I rolled my eyes "it's probably just fake" I said. Mikey chuckled. There was a moment of silence, I admired my nails for a second then turned to look at Mikey who was already staring at me.

"What" I said, he smiled and looked away "nothing" he grinned, I nudged his shoulder with mine "tell me" I said. "It's nothing" Mikey began to giggle which made me giggle too. "Well it's something, so tell me" I said playfully punching him. "You're smiling again" he said changing the subject. I couldn't stop smiling at him and then rolled my eyes playfully "whatever" I laughed. I was about to open the door until Mikey stopped me, he quickly unbuckled and stumbled out, jogging over to my side. He opened the door and gestured for me to get off, I cheekily smiled "such a gentleman" I gasped dramatically.

Mikey handed me my bag and shut the door for me, I grasped his hand and grabbed my bag while feeling his palms. He soon embraced me into a hug and I wrapped my arms around him resting my face on his chest. I watched the sunset as we hugged, and I think he did too. I could feel my heart beat faster, I turned to look up at Mikey and I glanced at his lips. He was doing the same.
"Mikey" I said softly, he looked into my eyes "yea" he said, I didn't know where I was even going with this but I also wanted to see where it took me. "I lo-"

"Hey beck don't you got a boyfriend or sum" I heard my brother Frankie yell from the porch, Mikey burst into laughter and let go of me, I rolled my eyes at the ground, dammit I thought I was going to have a moment with Mikey. "Hey mike" Frankie waved at Micheal, who waved back. I walked up to the porch and waved back at Mikey.

"I saw y'all don't think I'm stupid" Frankie said while smirking, I pushed him away by his forehead "uglyass" I said. "Moms here by the way" he added. My eyes bolted, I smiled widely as I sprinted to the kitchen where I heard my moms voice. "Mom" I said, she turned around and opened her arms "hey baby" she embraced me into a hug and I squeezed her tightly. "Group hug" my brother Alex said out loud as he, Frankie and Stephanie joined us.

I've been obsessed with tiktok lately hehe 😗✌🏽
