Madison's point of view: Who the h*ll was that sl*t with Peyton?! I looked at Taylor and her mouth was still hanging open,"Taylor!" She shook her head and looked back at me still in shock,"What the h*ll Madison? What the h*ll is Peyton doing with that girl! I mean they broke up the day before he left Mississippi during spring break! What the h*ll is she doing-" I stop Taylor,"What do you mean they broke up before he left?" Taylor gasped and covered her mouth like those monkeys. I guess this time she was speak no evil. She shook her head with her hand still over her mouth and I finally pulled her hand off,"Taylor tell me!" She looked down the hall towards Peyton,"Why don't you ask Peyton." I look down at Peyton who was still sucking face with that bi*ch and said,"Fine. I will." Kate's point of view: This moment with Peyton was magically. It felt like a moment that would last forever and ever. He looked down at me and whispered,"I love you Kate." I had been dying to hear those words from him again. I looked up at him and said,"I love you too Peyton." He smiled and I said,"I used part three of my three part present." He laughed and let go of me and said,"Yeah getting you and your family plane tickets to come to Georgia and visit was pretty smart." I hit his arm and he laughed,"I hid it in the most obvious place too." I stuck my tongue out at him. It really was an obvious place. He hid the tickets in the pocket of the passenger side seat. We started walking down the hall when some girl came up,"Peyton can I talk to you?" Peyton looked at me and then back at her and said,"Can it wait." The girl shook her head,"No it can't. I need to talk to you now." He sighed and looked at me with an apologetic look and said,"I'll be back in a bit."
Again sorry about the last update! I have a massive headache so everything kinda runs together. So here's the update again but "better". Madison's point of view: Who the **** was that ***t with Peyton?! I looked at Taylor and her mouth was still hanging open,"Taylor!" She shook her head and looked back at me still in shock,"What the **** Madison? What the **** is Peyton doing with that girl! I mean they broke up the day before he left Mississippi during spring break! What the **** is she doing-" I stop Taylor,"What do you mean they broke up before he left?" Taylor gasped and covered her mouth like those monkeys. I guess this time she was speak no evil. She shook her head with her hand still over her mouth and I finally pulled her hand off,"Taylor tell me!" She looked down the hall towards Peyton,"Why don't you ask Peyton." I look down at Peyton who was still sucking face with that ***** and said,"Fine. I will." Kate's point of view: This moment with Peyton was magically. It felt like a moment that would last forever and ever. He looked down at me and whispered,"I love you Kate." I had been dying to hear those words from him again. I looked up at him and said,"I love you too Peyton." He smiled and I said,"I used part three of my three part present." He laughed and let go of me and said,"Yeah getting you and your family plane tickets to come to Georgia and visit was pretty smart." I hit his arm and he laughed,"I hid it in the most obvious place too." I stuck my tongue out at him. It really was an obvious place. He hid the tickets in the pocket of the passenger side seat. We started walking down the hall when some girl came up,"Peyton can I talk to you?" Peyton looked at me and then back at her and said,"Can it wait." The girl shook her head,"No it can't. I need to talk to you now." He sighed and looked at me with an apologetic look and said,"I'll be back in a bit."
Peyton's point of view: I couldn't believe Madison just did that! I mean come on who does that? It's not like Madison could be jealous of Kate. Or could she? I shook the thought out of my head and followed Madison. We went out into the courtyard and Madison turned around and asked,"Who is she?" I sighed. I knew that question would come eventually. I contemplated whether to tell her or not and decided to just go ahead and tell her,"Her name is Kate. When I moved to Mississippi I dated her for two years until we had to move back here and I was head over heels in love with her and then she broke up with me which caused me to cut myself," I lift up my shirt and showed Madison the scars and Kate's name that I had carved into my stomach,"When Kate and I broke up I didn't know what to do. It hurt like ****." I put my shirt back down,"Then we went back to Mississippi for spring break and Kate and I hooked up during spring break and I ended it this time and she's only here for a visit." Madison looked like she was lost in thought and she finally said,"Oh. So there's nothing between you two anymore?" I was about to say no but I stopped. Was there still something there between me and Kate?
Madison's point of view: I waited for Peyton's answer. He was taking forever to answer my question. Peyton sighed,"I guess not but Madison I honestly don't know who I want to be with. Everything is just happening way too fast for me." He sat down and I could tell he was a little frustrated. I sat beside him and put my head on his shoulder,"Peyton come on. It can't be that bad." He looked at me and said,"I'm having to choose between you, Keeley, and Kate. How can it not be that bad?" I shifted my gaze away from him,"I don't know Peyton but I do know that long distance doesn't work out at all and it will make you miserable as ****." He looked at me and it seemed like there was pain in his eyes,"I'm already miserable as **** Madison. I lost Logan as my best friend because I realized that he's not someone I want as a best friend. Madison I have no one." Looking into his eyes made me want to cry. He could never hide how he was feeling. I put my arms around his neck and whisper,"Peyton you'll always have your family and your friends. You'll find someone else to replace Logan." Peyton put his arms around me and pulled me closer to him and then he bent his head down and kissed my lips. It wasn't a long kiss but it was long enough for me to know that he felt completely lost just by the urgency of the kiss. He was my Peyton. He would always be my Peyton. Peyton pulled away but kept his face not even an inch away from mine and whispered,"I love you Madison. I really do but you have to give me time to figure everything out."
Peyton's point of view: After talking with Madison I felt a little better. I went through the rest of the day trying to avoid Logan. I was headed to the soccer field when I saw someone I had never seen before. I put my stuff down on the bleachers and jogged over to him,"Hey. Haven't seen you before. I'm Peyton." The guy looked at me and nodded,"I'm Zeke." I nodded,"Nice to meet you. You just move here?" We started walking back to the bleachers and he said,"Yeah. Moved here from Missouri." I grab up my stuff,"****. That's pretty far." Zeke nodded and I looked at my watch,"Well I gotta go man but it was nice meeting you and if you ever need anything just let me know. I'm usually running track or in the batting cage after school." He nodded,"Alright. Thanks." I waved and started walking to my car. The kid seemed a little distant like he didn't want to be here but of course that was understandable. Moving to a new school was tough and moving to a different state was difficult but it got better once you found someone you had a lot in common with. I was almost to my car when I heard a bark. Yes a bark. I turned around and saw a dog. I get down in a squatting position,"Come here dog...I'm not gonna hurt you." The dog came to me and let me pet him. I tried looking for a collar or any tags but I couldn't find any. It was a cute little dog. He kinda looked like the dog Benji from those movies when I was a kid. I picked him up and he started squirming and he jumped out of my arms. He was like that jelly thing in that movie Flubber from when I was a kid. I picked him back up and put him in my car. I knew exactly who to give this little thing to. I drove my car to the hotel Kate and her family were staying at and I saw them loading up a taxi. They were only going to visit long enough for Kate and I to end our relationship "properly" whatever that means. I drove up and Kate saw me and came to me. I got out right when she got to my car and I hugged her,"I guess this is it." She nodded and buried her head in my chest and I whispered,"I have something for you." She looked at me puzzled and I winked at her and reached for the little dog in my backseat. I brought him out and he was still squirming. Kate smiled and hugged me and I put the dog in her arms and she asked,"What's his name?" I look at him and then at her and say,"You remember that movie Flubber about the little jelly thing that always bounced around?" She nodded with a puzzled look on her face,"Yeah. Why?" I smiled,"I named him Flubber because he reminds of the movie Flubber." Kate laughed and rolled her eyes,"Only you Peyton. Thank you this is really sweet." I gently grabbed her chin with one hand and lifted her head up and bent down and kissed her for the last time. I whispered,"I love you Kate." She nodded with tears starting to form in her eyes,"I love you too Peyton." I smiled slightly,"**** of a way to break up huh?" She was about to answer when her dad came over,"Sorry to interrupt but we have to go. Come on Kate." Her dad walked away and Kate stood on her tiptoes and kissed my cheek and whispered,"Goodbye Peyton." And just like that she walked away before I could answer her and got in the taxi. I waited until I couldn't see the taillights of the taxi and whispered,"Goodbye Kate."
Zeke's point of view: New school. New people. New state. Zero friends. Instead of saying Welcome to Georgia it should say Welcome to Hell. I didn't want to move or leave my friends behind. Now I was in a place where I didn't know anyone and all the teams were probably full. That would be just my luck for all the teams to be full. I walked into the school building and right off I noticed that the teachers were sticklers for the dress code and the students pushed the dress code as much as they could without getting in trouble. Hmmm I might like it here. I went to the office to get my schedule and saw that I had English this period. Great. I walked through the halls which had thinned out a bit and walking in my English class. There was five guys in the class and the rest were girls. Hot girls to be exact. I looked around and the teacher introduced me to the class. The girls up front were giggling and looking at me like they wanted to pounce on me. I didn't care. I liked the attention. I looked at the back of the room and saw three girls talking and every now and then they would look up at me. All three of them were completely hot. There was two blonde girls and the other had reddish brown hair. I like blondes better anyway so I'll just try to be friends with the girl with the reddish brown hair. I sat in a desk at the other end of the room while the teacher started giving a lecture. I completely zoned out and I was started when the bell rang. Everyone got up and quickly left. I went through the rest of the day just looking at all the girls but my mind kept going back to the two blonde girls and the girl with the reddish brown hair. I was still thinking about them when I went to the soccer field and when I was about to practice for a bit some guy came up and started talking to me. He seemed pretty cool. I mean he seemed like someone you could trust with anything and that's a really good thing in a friend. Who knows maybe I might be friends with him. God knows I need one to get me through moving to a different state and having to go to a school where I didn't have any friends.
Zack's point of view: I was in the living room with Holly and she was asleep on my arm. Peyton was out saying goodbye to Kate, and Garrett and Brianna were in their rooms. I enjoy being with my family more than anything. I reached over carefully and grabbed the remote and started flipping through the channels. As usual there was nothing on so I just turned it off. I looked down at my wife of seventeen years and smiled. She is absolutely gorgeous. God I'm glad that she said yes to me. I put my head against hers and closed my eyes. When I was almost asleep the phone rang and I mumbled,"Better not be Peyton." I looked at the caller ID and I felt my stomach drop. The caller ID said: US ARMY. I answered the phone and stayed on for probably less than ten minutes. It was quite simple. I would be deployed again in a month.
Peyton's point of view: It was midnight and I was still looking for something to do. Saying goodbye to Kate is always hard on me regardless the situation. I didn't know who to call since everyone I knew was probably asleep. I called Madison but there was no answer. I called Keeley and again no answer. I decided to call Taylor next. RINGRINGRING Taylor's voice came through,"What do you want Peyton?" I smiled to myself. Taylor can be a bit cranky if you wake her up. I simply said,"I was just wanting to know if you wanted to hang." It was quiet and Taylor finally said,"Peyton I want to sleep. You should go and get some sleep too." I decided to be a smart*** and said,"So you think we should get some sleep together? Well Taylor I know we dated a few years ago but I didn't know you wanted me like that." Taylor started stammering,"I-I did-didn't mea-mean tha-that Peyt. I just mean-meant that you shou-should go home and sleep." I laughed,"I know Taylor I was just joking," She was quiet and finally said,"Stop being such a smart*** Peyton! Goodnight." And with that she hung. I drove home still laughing about it. I loved messing with Taylor because it was just way too funny and fun, I got out of my car and locked it and tried to sneak in the house. I made it through the front door and I was walking through the kitchen when dad flipped the light on,"You're late." I jumped and almost tripped over the chair,"**** **** ****! Dad don't do that!" He laughed and then got serious,"Peyton I need you to sit down for a minute. We need to talk about something." I go back to the table and sit down in the chair I almost tripped over,"What is it dad?" Dad sat down across from me and sighed and stayed quiet for a minute which made me feel uneasy then he finally said,"Peyton you know I love your mom and you know I love you kids and you know I'd do anything to protect y'all and provide for y'all." I nod,"Yeah dad I know you do." Dad sighed said,"I got a call from the army." My heart sunk. No no no no no. Please don't let them send him back. Please! Dad continued,"They are deploying me again in a month." My face and my heart completely fell. It felt like there was a bottomless pit inside me and I hated it. How could they send my dad away again? I couldn't stop myself from saying what I did but what I said shocked my dad. I looked my dad in the eyes and said,"Then I'm going with you."
Zack's point of view: "Then I'm going with you." This kid is seriously his mother's child,"Peyton you are NOT going into the army." He looked at me a little frustrated,"Why not? I'm 17. I can at least enlist!" I slam my hands down on the table,"Peyton you WILL NOT enlist! I'm not gonna have my son enlist in the army!" Peyton jumped but when he did he stood up,"Dad come on! I'm 17. I can make my own **** decisions! Why can't I make my own decision about this! You don't have to baby me! That's what mom does and I'm sick of it! I'm an adult now why can't you and mom treat my like one!?!" I was getting tired of this already,"Peyton Alexander McGee you will not enlist! End of discussion!!!!" I walked out after that. I couldn't stand there and listen to my oldest son say he wants to enlist. I love my job and I love my family but I'm not gonna combine the two. I went upstairs and to mine and Holly's room and saw that she was waiting for me. I got beside her and kissed her cheek,"What's wrong baby?" She put her head on my shoulder,"Nothing it's just....... I think I'm pregnant."
Garrett's point of view: I heard Peyton drive up and I knew he was probably gonna get his *** chewed out for coming home at midnight. This was gonna be good. I went downstairs carefully and got to the kitchen door and listened in on their conversation. I knew it was wrong but I had to know what they were talking about. Standing there listening to them argue about Peyton enlisting....wait! Peyton wants to enlist!! **** no! There's no way in **** dad would let Peyton enlist especially if he wouldn't let me try to enlist once I turned 17. I heard dad get up so I moved out of the way so he wouldn't see me. As soon as he got upstairs I went into the kitchen where Peyton was,"Hey man. Heard you and dad fighting again." Peyton just nodded,"Dad is being deployed in a month and I want to go with him." I stood there shocked. There was no way they were gonna send dad away again so soon,"Peyton I agree with dad. You don't need to go and enlist. What about Kate or Madison or Keeley or Taylor? How would they feel if you enlisted? You are in love with four girls and even though you say you don't love Taylor I know you do I mean she was one girl you wanted to go all the way with but you two broke it off." Peyton shook his head,"I don't....love Taylor." I laughed,"Dude yes you do and Now you have a critical choice to make. Keeley, Madison, or Taylor?" I got up and left Peyton sitting there to think about this. I went upstairs and grabbed my bass and just started playing.
Peyton's point of view: Did I love Taylor? Nah there was no way. I was in love with Madison....or Keeley....or Kate.....or maybe Taylor...I don't know who I am in love with. I walked back upstairs and got in my room and laid down on my bed. I was exhausted and sleep was the only thing I needed right now but thoughts of who I could be in love with filled my mind. I finally drifted off to sleep thinking of Madison and Taylor and Keeley..... *~*~*~*~*DREAM*~*~*~*~* I was standing at the end of a long hallway. It kinda looked like a church but then again it didn't. I saw three girls all in white and I felt drawn to each of them. It was weird because no other made me feel drawn to them except Kate and Kate wasn't in that group of girls in white. I looked closely at each girl and saw that it was Keeley, Madison, and Taylor. Keeley was my best friend and the only girl I ever went all the way with. Madison was the girl I dated before I left for Mississippi and Taylor was the girl I dated for six months before Madison came. What the ****?! *~*~*~*~*REALITY*~*~*~*~* I jolted awake and I felt like my heart was racing. I couldn't believe I had a dream about all three of them..
Taylor's point of view: I can't believe Peyton said that to me. That was so embarrassing. I replayed the conversation over and over in my mind. I wouldn't mind just sleeping with Peyton but I would have to get Madison and anyone else out of the way so that could be possible. After all Madison did steal Peyton away from me. I started thinking about Peyton again. He was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. The way you could see his expressions in his eyes is like looking inside him to see how he's feeling. He's an open book. Always has been since I've known him. Of course Peyton did have his run of bad luck with the law. He and Logan had gotten caught defacing school property, breaking and entering, defacing public property, rolling yards, breaking into a car, hot-wiring a car, and a whole bunch of other stuff. I never understood why he would ever want to hang out with Logan but they had been friends for a while but now since they aren't it'll be good for him to rebuild his reputation back up after having Logan burn it down. Tomorrow I will make my move with Peyton but I'm going to have to make sure Madison is no where around.
Peyton's point of view: The next day at school I walked through the school hallways and I saw Logan being a jerk as always to a girl. I slowed down to be a little sneaky so I could tell who it was. I froze when I saw who it was that he had by the arm and who he was yelling at. My sister. My baby sister. I was gonna kill the *******. I started walking...no running to that crazy mother ****ing ******* I finally got close enough and yelled,"Yo *******!!!" He turned around and I laid his *** out right there. I didn't even give him a chance to get up from the ground. Nobody does that to my baby sister. I felt someone tugging me and I turned to see who it was and it was the principal. ****. Logan and I got into the principals office and Mr. Dearing said,"Peyton do you mind explaining yourself?" I nodded,"Logan had my sisters arm and he was yelling at her and no one yells at her unless they want me to beat their ***." Logan just waved it off,"So what I yelled at your sister? She's a ***t anyway. A dirty who-" I cut him off by punching him in the jaw. The principal had to get the police that were on campus to get me off him. They led me out in handcuffs away from Logan and took them off and one of the police officers said,"Son just go to class alright? Let's try to make sure the baseball season stays alive." I nod and turn around so they can take the handcuffs off. As soon as the got them off I could feel instant relief from were they had it a little too tight. I walked into my English class and sat in my seat beside Keeley. She tuned and looked at me and asked,"What the **** happened between you and Logan?" I sighed and sat back in my chair and put my hands behind my head. I know I looked like a ****y ******* but I didn't care. I looked at Keeley and smiled a ****y *** smile and said,"I laid out his *** again because he was being a ***k to my sister. He had her by the arm and was yelling at her so I laid his *** out." Keeley shook her head,"Peyton you don't need to beat him up all the time. You know how Logan can be and how he acts. It's just him. It's who he is you and I both know that." I nod,"Yeah but I'm gonna make sure he doesn't try to hurt my family ever or I will lay his *** out to dry." The teacher came in then and said,"Alright class let's get started." Keeley turned back around and I leaned up and as soon as the teacher turned towards the board I made Keeley turn around and I kissed her. I knew everyone was watching but I didn't care. I pulled away and Keeley, completely shocked, said,"What was that for?!" I got close to her and whispered,"For that night even though I don't remember it too well. I just want you to give me time to figure things out." She nodded and kissed my cheek,"I'll give you all the time you need." I smiled and sat back. Who was I gonna choose?
Logan's point of view: Ever since Peyton and I had stopped being friends everybody looked at us like we were different people. I hated it. Peyton was supposed to be my **** little lost puppy. He was supposed to follow me around but the puppy bit the master so the puppy is gonna get his *** whipped. I walked down the hallways of the school and I saw Brianna, Peyton's baby sister. Brianna and I had dated in secret for a bit and she broke it off with me last night and I wasn't having any of that ****. I walked up to Brianna and grabbed her arm,"You little ***** you don't break up with me. EVER! You hear me ****e!" She hit my arm and tried to break free,"I'm not a ***** and I'm not a ****e. You call me that one more god **** ****ing time I WILL make you ****ing STERILE!!!!" she yanked her arm away and I grabbed it right back,"***** YOU DON'T BREAK UP WITH ME!!!" she stomped on my foot and hissed,"I think I did last night now leave me alone!" She started to walk away and I spun her ***.......fine *** back around,"Listen Bri YOU DON'T WALK AWAY FROM ME EVER YOU DAMN *****!!!!!!!" Just then someone grabbed my arm and started knocking the **** out of me. I couldn't see who it was until they got pulled off of me. Peyton. **** him to ****. I hated that ******* so much. We both were sent to the principals office where Mr. Dearing asked us what happened and Peyton simply stated,"Logan had my sisters arm and he was yelling at her and no one yells at her unless they want me to beat their ***." I scoffed and rolled my eyes,"So what I yelled at your sister? She's a ***t anyway. A dirty who-" Right then I heard the chair scrape and I thought: ****. Peyton came flying out of the chair and started knocking the **** out of me again. Damn this kid got on my nerves. He's still that same damn puppy but I gotta give him credit. He's standing his own ground. I felt someone pull him off me and I saw the campus police had him in handcuffs. Ha serves the ******* right. I watched them drag him off and Mr. Dearing said,"You might want to wait for a while." I nodded and chilled in the principals office. It was just a basic office. White walls, plain carpet, plain old school computer, plain computer desk. Yeah complete principals office even the two chairs in there. Yeah the chair I was sitting in was my own "personal" chair. I've been sitting in this chair since freshman year and then I got my used to be buddy Peyton his own chair this year. Yeah I'm pretty awesome. I waited a bit longer and finally went outside and I got a text from Taylor:Hey we need to talk. I smirked at it. Yeah she was gonna be my *****.
