you smile at him.
A | goodnight!
P | goodnight audrey.
you hang up the phone and walk over to maggie.
M | oh hey !!!
A | hey mags.
she's hanging out with these girls she partys with a lot. you have a few truly's before you ask maggie to come home.
M | i think i'll stay for a bit longer!!!
she yells. she's drunk.
A | well i'm going home and if you're coming over tonight we have to go now.
M | i'll stay at ambers i bet she's awake.
A | okay.
that left you walking home alone. you open tik tok to try and see if payton's awake. sure enough he posted 10 minutes ago. he posted a lip sink video to the song say you won't let go. you decide to call him. maybe he'll answer. he does.
P | hello?
A | hey payton. sorry for waking you up-
P | no, it's okay.
A | maggie is still out and i'm getting really tired and i don't want to walk home alone.
P | oh, okay. that's okay.
he turns on a lamp so you can see him.
A | i'm sorry i really needed someone to talk to.
P | relax audrey that's what i'm here for. besides just a few more minutes isn't that big of a deal.
you smile at him. he smiles back.
A | do you have anything planned tomorrow.
P | i'm having some friends over. we are going to work with some music. but i'll be sure to text you throughout the day.
A | okay. well i'll answer when i can who knows what kind of punishment my parents have for me.
he laughs a little as you walk onto your street. you hop the fence to your back yard and walk in the back door. you disarm the alarm on maggie's trap phone before it goes off. making sure to set it back up and delete the occurrence. you sneak up to your bedroom and realize your door is locked.
A | shit!
P | what is it?
A | i locked my door.
P | do you have a key?
A | i always keep my other key in my brothers room but idk if i should wake him up.
P | sneak in there and if he sees you just talk to him.
A | idk if i can do that?
P | you got this.
what are your thoughts on you and payton's relationship?
