We come home and tears filled my eyes "l-leave Payton!" "I know your mad but let me explain!". The whole reason this fight is happening is because I saw Payton kissing a fan, on the lips. "Go Payton! Just l-" my voice cracked. "I didn't kiss her! She kissed me!" "Yeah right! You were flirting with her too!" I turned my back on him "j-just fuck off! I can't believe you did that!!" "Babe please, I wasn't! Believe m-" I hear his voice crack. I look over to see him looking at me "I didnt fucking kiss her! But I caught you kissing that boy!" "On the cheek! If you kissed the girl on the cheek, we wouldn't be in this mess!" Payton clenched his jaw "His hands were fucking on you!" "I'm leaving!" I walked to the door only to feel him pull me back from my waist. "Payton, let me-!" he spins me around, cups my face and kisses me. His kisses never fail to change the mood into a better one. He pulls away "babe, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you. I swear on my life that I didnt kiss her, I was going to kiss her cheek but she moved, please believe me! I don't want to lose you- please!" I see his eyes fill with tears. Guilt filled my body. "I'm sorry I yelled at you as well. As soon as that guy did put his hands on me, I told him to stop and he did. I promise nothing happened. Please don't leave now-" I started crying, hard. He pulls me into his arms "I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving. It's ok. I'm so sorry baby" he holds me tight "I'm sorry too p-pay" I throw my arms around his neck. He rubs my back "I love you so much" "I love you too Pay". He picks me up by my legs, carries me to the bedroom and lays me on the bed. He goes into the bathroom and runs a bath, he knows how much baths help me calm down. "There, hopefully that will help" he comes back over to me and I sit up "thank you-" I hug him tightly. He kisses me on the cheek and I go into the bathroom and closed the door. After the bath, I dried myself off and put on shorts and a sports bra. I left the bathroom and see Payton in bed. He sees me and opens his arms, inviting me into them. I climbed into his arms "even if we fight and argue, I still love you. I always will, nothing will change that" he throws the covers over us and smiles "you're mine. No boy will take you away from me" he pulls me more into his naked chest "you're mine" he whispered. I smiled and wrapped my arms around him "since when does my boyfriend have a 6 pack?" He looks at me "checking out my body, huh?" He smirks. I blushed "sorry, I just didn't-" he smiles and kissed me, shutting me up "it's fine y/n, I may have worked out a little while you were away with family" "really now?" I smirked. "Don't believe me?" "No, I do" a smile came on his face and he pulled me on top of him. "whoa...you have been working out-" my hand went to his abs to steady myself "you ok?" I nodded "yeah, you just took me by surprise". He started flexing his stomach, causing me to go bright red. Payton laughed "you're cute when you blush" I shook my head and tried to get off but Payton quickly pinned my legs to the bed,, so I couldn't move. "Payton!" He laughed "stuck, princess?" I rolled my eyes "why?" I gave up and layed on his chest. He chuckled "I succeeded" he wraps his arms around my back "now you really cant get up" he says kissing my neck. I wake up and realized that it was all a dream "damn-"i said to myself. I hear people screaming downstairs "what the fuck-?". I got up, saw that I was in Payton's bed and wearing one of his hoodies and a pair of his shorts "what?" I whispered. I shook my head and opened the door to see my abusive ex boyfriend and Payton, arguing. "WHY THE HELL IS SHE IN YOUR BED?" Ben (your ex) yelled "me and her were watching a movie and she feel asleep on me, so I left her to sleep! What the fuck is your problem?! You and her aren't together anymore" I see Ben about to hit him "BEN! dont you fucking lay a hand on him!!". Payton looks at me "y/n-" Ben walks up the stairs "WHY THE HELL WERE YOU IN HIS BE-? Your in his fucking clothes?! You're a slut!!" He slaps me across the face then punches me. I held back all of the tears "why do you care!? I'm not dating you anymore" and threw the hood of the sweatshirt up and over my face. "BEN! GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE, NOW!!" Payton runs up and pulls me into his arms, holding me tightly and away from Ben. "I'll call the cops if you dont leave now" Ben goes to grab me but Payton grabs his wrist "Dont. Fucking. Touch her" "I know she still loves me Payton, not you!" Ben said as he walks out the front door and slams it shut. All the tears I held back, ran down my cheeks and onto the hood "I'm calling the cops on him. I dont care what I said, he doesn't get to hit or hurt you like that!". I put my hands in the sleeves of his hoodie and hugged him "the hood might be stained with my tears now-" I lightly giggled which turned into a breath for air. His grip on me loosened "I dont care" I felt him pull the hood away from my face "Pay-" "let me see" he said softly. He takes the hood off and his eyes wided, he gently puts his hand on were Ben slapped me "he hit you- twice!?" "j-just call the cops. Dont go after him... please" "ok.....ok". A couple of minutes later, there was a knock at the door and I looked out the window "who is it y/n?" Payton asked "the police". Payton opened the door "we got a call that there wa-" one of the officers saw me and looked at Payton "did you hit her-" I quickly stood up "no ma'am! My ex boyfriend came in here and got mad that I stayed here last night". The officer nodded "where is he then?" Payton looked at me "I told him to leave this house...I should've called you guys when he was here-" "well, do you know were he lives?" He nodded and told her Ben's address. "Ok, honey? Can I look at were he hit you before I leave?" she looked at my cheek "y-yeah" the officers looked at Payton for permission to come in and which he nodded. She touched the side of my eye where he punched "ow!" I quietly squealed "I'm sorry-" "it's ok". The Male officer was asking Payton a bunch of questions on what happened. I looked at the female officer's badge "officer Midnight....that is a cool name" I said in my head. "Honey? How long has your ex treated you like this before the breakup?" She asked. "The first time he hit me was 7 weeks into the relationship...." "why did he hit you?" I rubbed my arm "I-i fell asleep and forgot that I was supposed to pick him up at practice" "after that, did he start hitting you more for more dumb reasons?" I nodded. She sat up "ok, we will be on our way. Wait- I totally forgot to ask, what is your name sweetie?" "Y/n" "hear is my number if he comes back here or if you need anything else from us Y/n" "thank you officer Midnight....you have a cool name by the way-". She smiled "thank you, come on Jay" the Male officer nodded, thanked Payton and they both left. I put officer midnight's card in my phone case and Payton walked over to me "he hit you- 7 weeks into the relationship. That was the day after I saw you at school with makeup on" I barely ever wore makeup to school, and that day he was talking about- I only wore fondation which probably made it more weird. "I-" "why didn't you tell me y/n?" He said calmly "I'm sorry Payton....he told me if I did anything, he was going to hurt me more. I should've broken up with him then-" Payton gently grabbed my hands "I wont let him hurt you again- I promise". I looked into his eyes and he smiled "what?" I shook my head "nothing-" "you're lying" I threw the hood over my face to cover that I was going red to the thought of us- kissing. "Y/n-" he took the hood off and saw that I was red "what are you thinking about?" He said with a cute smile "i- um- nothing" he gently cups my face "tell me" my face got more red by his touch. "Ben lied to you- that's all your getting" I smiled and moved away from him. He turn his head to look at me walking away from him "oh, hell no! You have to give more than that!" I laughed and sat down on a bar stool "nope! Figure it ouut" he shakes his head and walks over to me. I squealed and went to the front door to run into someone. "Ow shit i-" I sat up and realized I ran into Jackson "oh my god I'm so sorry Jackson! Are you ok?". Jackson rubs his head and smiles "yeah-" I reached out my hand and helped him up "what are you doing here?" "I could ask you the same th-" he saw the bruise "did I do that-?". Payton comes over laughing "oh my god- that was the funniest shit ever!" "No Jackson. Ben did" Jackson looked at me "What!?" "we called the cops already. It's been taken care of" Payton said. Payton and Jackson did a tiktok together to Payton's song "Rich boy". I went behind them and "threw it back" Payton saw me, ran up to me and picked me up "No!" I started laughing. Jackson looked at us "what-?" "She was throwing it back, not in this house young lady" I rolled my eyes "yeah OkAy" I teased. Jackson smiles "really?" He asked looking at me then Payton. He knew that I had a huge crush on Payton and he. Was. NOT. Helping! Jackson had to go and we waved goodbye. "Are you still making me figure out what Fuck boy lied about?" I laughed "is that his name now? Ok and fine, I'll say it. But you have to tell me what you think it is first" "just tell me" he whined. "I-" he walks up to me and lifts my chin up "let me say something first though- Y/n, I love you. You mean everything to me. When Ben- that bitch, came in here, he told me that he saw you snap him and he realized that you were here. He came here and told me that he was going to tell you that he was sorry for everything. I didn't know that he was actually going to hurt you. I know it's not my fault but, I still regret letting him in and laying his hands on you. I will always be here for you" tears fell down my cheeks "dont cry-" he whipes my tears with his thumbs. "Payton?" "Yes?" I kissed his cheek "I love you too- I'm sorry if you didn't mean it like-" he smiles and puts his hand on my cheek "glad to hear" he leans in and kisses me. I pulled my lips off of his and started smiling "that was what Ben was lying about, I do love you. I regret not telling you that" he smiles "well, you told me now". I put my hands in the sleeves and hugged him "I'm scared to leave now" he wraps his arms around my back "then don't- stay" he said, kissing my lips again.
