"Peyton, you ready?" Chris asked as he passed my bedroom door fastening her earring.

"I'm not going." I said, sitting on my bed.

"What?" She asked coming in my room. "Peyton, Trevor's leaving in two hours and he's buying drinks."

"I'm aware. I'll call him later." I said tying my hair up in a messy bun.

"Okay, I'll bite." She said, sitting on the edge of my bed. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. I'm just not going." I told her.

"Was it Jack?" She asked.

"Christina, just go. I have homework and some chores to get caught up on." I said. "Go, have fun. I'm fine."

"If you change your mind we're going to Bar A." She said, pushing herself off my bed.

I heard the door close not long after that and started to busy myself. Thankfully my messy apartment kept me occupied for a while. I had finished tidying up the living room and doing the dishes when I finally stumbled back into my bedroom. I had barely sat down when my phone started to ring.

"Hello?" I answered it.

"Hurricane! Where the hell are you?" Trevor's voice came through the phone.

"I'm home." I said.

"Home like Michigan? Home-home?" He asked.

"The apartment Trev,"

"So why aren't you here? I swear to god if you say homework you're getting sucker punched."

"I have stuff to do." I said.

"Peyton Elizabeth Cane, get your ass out of bed and into some jeans and get down to the bar right now!" Trevor said. "I'm leaving in an hour and I won't be back for months, please."

"You're a pain in my ass Zegras."

"You love me." Trevor rejoiced before I hung up the phone.

I pulled myself up and tugged on some ripped jeans and a black body suit, pairing it with my black suede booties. I pulled my hair out of its messy bun and dragged a brush through it before tying it up in a long ponytail. I brushed on some mascara before I grabbed my clutch, keys, and phone. I locked up the apartment and went downstairs before calling my Uber. When the suburban pulled up I hopped in the back and greeted the woman.

"Night out on the town?" She asked.

"Yes, my best friend leaves for California tonight. Last hoorah sorta thing," I smiled.

"Bit of a late start, don't ya think?" She asked, referring to the clock that read 10:45 PM.

"My friends started before, I didn't really want to come out but I clearly lost that battle." I laughed.
