Broken to Unbroken

Chapter Three

~Payton

It's about 10 p.m. right now and me and Tory are watching movies on Netflix like we always do when we hang out. We're just laughing and making jokes when my phone rings. I answer right away expecting it to be my dad. "Hello?" I say into the phone. "Hi may I speak to Payton-Gabrielle Jones?" a lady on the other end of the phone said. "Uh, This is she. Is there something I can help you with?" I asked. "My name is Amanda Johnson, I'm one of the doctors at Charity Union Hospital. Payton, I'm so sorry to be the one to tell this.... But your father was killed in a major car crash on the highway this morning. He was killed on impact." she said to me. My eyes started to tear up. I tried to hold back my sobs but I couldn't. The tears flooded down my cheeks and I hang up the phone. "Tony what's wrong?" my best friend asks me while trying to comfort me. "My... Dad... Is... Dead." I said between sobbing. I really can't believe he's gone. "I'm so sorry Payton. You're more than welcome to stay here if it makes you feel better." she says while rubbing circles on my back. ~~~~~ It's been 3 months since my father died. I've sold our old house and moved in with my best friend. My dads funeral was last month and I sang. It was just me Tory and her parents, since my dad was the only family I had left. I went back to school a week after I found out about my dad. I know he wouldn't want me to mess up my education and that he wants me to achieve my goals and fulfill my dreams. Spring break is starting in a few days and I can't wait to get out of this hell hole we call school. I've actually become friends with Jacob, the guy who caused me to have a panic attack, and I am kinda starting to have a crush on him. He's incredibly sweet and funny and he brightens my day. He also got the other jocks to stop bullying me and Tory. Today me and Tory are going to go over Jacob's to hang out with him and the guys. Right now we are getting ready. I'm scrambling to find something to wear. After an hour and changing my outfit about a hundred times I was finally satisfied with what I was wearing. Once we were both ready we went downstairs and into my car and headed to Jacob's house. When we got there we got out of the car and knocked on the door. Jacob answered less than a minute later and pulled me into a long hug before letting us in, which made me blush. All the guys were spread out on the couch in the basement watching Transformers. They greeted me and Tory then went back to watching the movie. This should be fun. Tory and I sit down in one of the big chairs, since both of us could fit in one, making ourselves comfortable as we start to watch the movie. Not to long after that Jacob appeared into the basement with two fans of Coke. Giving them to me and Tory before sitting down with his friends. It wasn't long before I had started to fall asleep.

I was waken up by my best friend what I assume to be a half an hour later to see that the movie was still playing. I groan I've seen this movie so many times that I'm bored with it now. I couldn't for the life of me fall back asleep so I just say there and watched the movie until it was over.
