"Why are we back here?"
"To face your demons" My sister AJ quips sarcastically "You know why"
My best friend Katlyn is getting married and her husband lives in New Jersey. Specifically, the town where he lives or lived.
Havent really been keeping up with the town much.
"Peyton" AJ says warningly at the look I have on my face.
"What?"
"You made that 'ruining lives' promise when you were 15. Be mature this time. Please"
"Sure, but can't keep any promises" I say.
AJ huffs as we get out of the car.
I breathe in. The sweet, sweet air. It ain't gonna be sweet no more if I bump into him.
In that ten year span, I dyed my hair, ditched the glasses for eye surgery and changed up my style.
The old Peyton Charleston is long gone.
"Babe!" Katlyn practically jumps on me when we enter our old home.
We gave her a key to it.
"Your old house was AH-MAY-ZING. Why'd you move?" Katlyn asks, obviously unaware of everything.
My voice choked up.
It's too hard to talk about.
A decade may have passed, my cuts may have healed but the scar remains.
The mental scars.
"Peyton? You okay?" Katlyn holds my shoulder.
I nod, biting my lip.
"Anyway" Kat claps her hands after a moment of silence "The engagement party is in a couple of hours so get your dresses on!" She laughs and bounds out of the house.
AJ smiles shaking her head and we get dressed for the party.
As soon as we enter the party, the first person I see smiles at me.
My blood freezes.
I can hear AJ talking to me but she's tuned out.
Because it's him.
And he's staring right at me.
A/N : that's all for today
feeling like shit, might cry myself to sleep early today 🙃
