Zoey's pov (a month later)
"Well it certainly didn't just look like nothing," I accuse, crossing my arms over my chest.
"For the last time Zoey, I don't care about her any- I mean, I don't care about her," Peyton defends.
"You were going to say anymore, weren't you?" I ask. Peyton doesn't answer.
"You know her? And cared about her before?" I demand.
"We dated a few years ago. I don't even know how she found me," he tells me.
"Maybe because you're always hanging around me and my brothers."
"Well that's because you told me to! I was going to leave after you got home, but no. You insisted I stay!" Peyton yells at me. I flinch.
"You know what, I'm out of here. Goodbye Zoey. Enjoy life," he says bitterly. Peyton grabs his jacket and suitcase, then walks of the bus, leaving me standing alone.
Confused? Last week, at a meet and greet, a girl was getting a little touchy with Peyton. I got jealous. Really jealous. I've been ignoring him for the past few days, but then we started arguing. And now, he left.
My heart starts to hurt and I sink down to the floor. Tears start rolling down my cheeks. Percy and Ashes come over to me, trying to cheer me up. I just curl up in a ball on the floor, sobbing hysterically. I screwed up and I lost him.
"Zoey?" Calum whispers, shaking my body back and forth. I open my eyes and see my brothers and Charlotte gathered around me, looking scared.
"Zoey are you okay?" Charlotte questions. I shake my head no, grab my pets, then stand up and push past the five of them, running towards my bunk. I climb up into it and turn to face the wall, not wanting to talk to anyone.
"Guys, just give her some space for right now," Charlotte says.
"But we need-"
"Trust me boys. Please," she pleads with my older brothers. I hear the boys sigh in defeat.
I sniffle and put my earbuds in. I click on a random playlist. Which just happened to be the one Peyton and I made on the flight back to the United States.
I start to cry again. But I leave the playlist on. Percy whimpers sadly and licks the tears off of my cheeks. Ashes curls up on my pillow, next to my head.
I let out a breathy laugh and pull them both into my arms, grateful for them.
I end up crying myself to sleep while listening to mine and Peyton's playlist.
