Payton's P.O.V
"what do you mean he won't make it through the night. They just said earlier that he was going to be fine" I say shaking my head.
"something happened. They found something wrong with his lungs. I'm not sure. All I know is that I got a call from his mom and she said that they're not sure if he'll make it through the night" she says. I go over to one of the tables and sit down. She sits down across from me as I feel all the tears begin to fall.
"this is all my fault" I mumble.
"don't say that. this isn't your fault" she says. I put my head in my hands and groan.
If only I would have talked to him at my house. we wouldn't be in this situation.
"I have to lock up, do you want to come back to my house?" she nods and stands up. I walk over to the alarm and set it. we walk out the door and I make sure its locked.
"ill meet you there I guess" she says scratching the back of her neck. I nod and get into my car. I drive back to my house in complete silence. Olivia following close behind me. once I get home. I pull into the drive way and get out. Olivia pulls next to the curb and gets out. I go to the front door and unlock it.
"we need to talk" she mumbles. I nod and walk to the living room. she sits down and I sit across from her
"I understand where your coming from. What I don't understand Is why are you ignoring us instead of letting us help you" she says. I shake my head and look down
"because I don't need help" I mumble.
"everyone needs help. Payton. I know your dad, or mom, or whoever was taking care of you abused you. I know. and I'm here to help you" she says. I look at her and shake my head
"h..how did you find out. Did Shawn tell you?" I say.
"no. I just know. those stains in the carpets. The quietness, the flinching every time someone lifts their arm the wrong way, The faded scars and bruises on your arms. I know. because I have the same ones" she says holding out her arms. I look down to see faded self-harm scars and bruises.
"Olivia. I'm sorry. i..i didn't know" I mumble. She pulls her sleeves back down and shrugs.
"is this still happening?" I whisper. she shakes her head and looks down
"no, my dad got locked up and my mom overdosed. I live with my aunt and uncle now. And I'm so much happier. Please Payton. Understand that it gets so much better. And having friends by your side makes the process so much easier. Please stop pushing us away. Me, Aaron, Shawn when he gets better. Payton please. Your starting to become my best friend" she says. tears running down her cheeks
"Olivia. I'm so sorry. I just. I'm not used to it. please forgive me" I say. she smiles and nods
"uhm. Are you going to come back to school?" she says.
"I don't know. I wanted to try homeschooling" I say. she nods and stands up.
"I should probably go. I'm not sure if I'm going to school tomorrow. Me and Aaron might skip to go see Shawn. You should come with us" she says. I stand up
"okay. Just text me" I mumble. I lead her to the front door and open it.
"you know you and Aaron can come over here anytime. I don't want you thinking you can't come to just hang out" I say. she smiles and nods
"thank you. bye Payton. Stay strong. Shawn will get better. I know it" she hugs me. I hug back and once we let go. I watch her walk to her car and get in, once she pulls away from the curb. I close the door and lean against it. i let out a shaky breath and start to walk up the stairs. i go into the bathroom and turn the shower water on. I get out of my work clothes and get into the shower. I do what I need to do and then get out. I put on some shorts and a t-shirt and go to lay in bed. I try my hardest to fall asleep but my mind is going 200 mph.
what if Shawn doesn't make it through the night.
