Maybe change isn't bad - Payton Moormeier

twenty-two

I wake up the next morning with Paytons arm wrapped around me. I slowly get out of his grip and try not to wake him up. I go downstairs and start making breakfast, Ava comes in and helps. Payton walks in rubbing his eyes and yawning.

"Did I wake you" I ask

"No I was already awake" he says "Oooo pancakes my fav" he says excitedly and I laugh

"Where is mum" I ask

"Went to go see someone" she say

"Oh ok" I say as I finish the last pancake

We finish breakfast and Payton goes home. I stay in my room until Esther texts me telling me to meet them at the park. I get ready and walk to the park. Everyone is their, I go sit next to Payton on the floor.

"Why are we here" I ask

"Because why not" Kai says

"Is their alcohol or drugs" I ask

"Nope just us" Jamie says

"Oh ok" I say "I'm so excited for Christmas this year. Things are finally good"

"Only five more days" Payton say

We stay at the park for a few hours before Jamie and Kai have to go home, the rest of us are walking to my house. Payton takes my hand as we walk.

"My mum wants to meet you" Payton says

"Really, why. Adults hate me" I say

"No she loves you and he always talks about you" Esther says "And I mean always, like he never shuts up" she laughs

"Shut up or I'll drop kick you" he says

"Last time you tried you ended up pinned to the floor" Esther says

"Wait why are you at his house" I ask

"My mum kinda kicked me out so I'm at his most of the time, I sneak back in at night" she says, it's not the first time she's been kicked out

"Come stay at mine till it blows over, why didn't you tell me" I ask

"I dint want to bother you, everything is finally going well for you" she says

"Bitch shut up I'm always here no matter what, anyway nothing goes my way I'm just waiting for a fuck up" I say

We get back to mine and chill. We watch tv and order dinner. It arrives and we go to my room, I put tv on. Me and Ether watch Vampire Diaries.

"Ok but I hate the beginning, she belongs with Damon" I say

"Yeah, I guess. Shut up its Kol, omg he's so hot" she says and I laugh. All of a sudden she sits up and gets off my bed "Do you know what I just remembered" she says

"What" I ask confused as she reaches under my bed

"This" she says pulling out a clear box

"Omg the memories" I say getting on the floor, Its a box full of polaroid's from when we were drunk.

"Look at this one" Esther says handing a picture of me and Kai making out

"Yeah no thanks" I say putting it back.

We go through the box and tell Payton the stories behind some of the pictures. I'm pretty sure their are like fifty of me and Kai kissing, I feel bad for Payton. After we put the pictures back and carry on watching tv. Payton eventually has to go home and I walk him to the door.

"I'll come back tomorrow" he says

"You better" I say and he pulls me into a hug "Bye" I say and give him a kiss on the cheek
