Peyton's point of view: *~*~*~*3 months later*~*~*~* I had been in the hospital for an extra month and sitting at home for two months and I was so bored. I hadn't even picked up my guitar mainly because my mom would hardly let me get out of my bed. I finally got tired of it and got up and I hit the floor instantly,"Shit **** fuck!" This was not how I wanted my taste of freedom to go. I got up again and took my time. I needed to get my strength back especially if I was going to go back to playing baseball and soccer and running track. I got over to my guitar and started practicing. It was a little rough sounding at first since I haven't played in months thanks to ****ing Logan putting me in the **** hospital for months. I kept playing and my brother came in,"I see you finally made it out of be sleeping beauty." I glared at him,"I'm going to knock the ****ing shit out of you when I get better you smart***." Garrett rolled his eyes,"Yeah yeah I'm soo terrified. So what are you going to play now since you're well enough to play guitar?" I shrugged,"I don't know probably some country." Garrett laughed and said,"No really man what are you going to play." I looked at Garrett,"The fuck I just told you man." Garrett just looked at me like I had lost my mind and said,"Alright man looks like we're both going to be learning some country songs." I nodded and went back to practicing the guitar and then my mind wandered to Mississippi. Maybe I should go back...
Peyton's point of view: *~*~*~*3 more months later*~*~*~* Three more months had past and I was almost 100% better. Garrett and I had learned so many of the old and new country songs and this being the last three weeks of summer we were going to play these songs. I was able to convince my mom and dad to let me and Garrett go to Mississippi for a week and a half so today we were loading up our stuff and hitting the road. The doctors still wouldn't let me drive but I didn't care. I was actually enjoying being driven around anywhere I wanted to go. I got into the passenger side of my car and dug out my cigarettes and my lighter from the glove box and Garrett got in the drivers side. He looked at me and saw the cigarettes in my hand and said,"Dude you're going to ****ing kill yourself with those **** cigarettes." I shrugged my shoulders and lit one up. I didn't care I was 18 I was legal to buy cigarettes so it didn't matter. He rolled his eyes at me and started driving to Mississippi. I knew this was probably suicidal going back to the place I made Kate cry but I wanted to make it right. I wanted her to still be a part of my life.
Garrett's point of view: Me and my brother were on the road for the very first time by ourselves. I could hardly believe mom and dad trusted us that much. I looked over at Peyton who was asleep. I had to drive the whole way to Mississippi but his *** was going to drive back home. I worried about my brother a lot now. He wasnt able to play sports just yet but he could rock it on his guitar. He had a crazy idea to get Kate back in his life and I wanted to help him but he wouldn't tell me what he did to Kate but I had to trust him no matter what. *~*~*~*4 hours later*~*~*~* We were almost to mississippi and Peyton woke up,"Man where are we?" I didn't look at him. I kept my eyes on the road and said,"California." He looked confused and said,"The fuck we are. Where are we?" I glanced at him and said,"Almost to Mississippi." He yawned and said,"Alright man. You want me to drive the rest of the way." I nodded and pulled over and we switched seats and I put the passenger seat back and put on my Oakley sunglasses and went to sleep. Peyton's point of view: I decided to trade with Garrett cause I wanted to see Mississippi again. I left everything on a very bad note. I had my ray bans on and I had my window down and I got some of my cigarettes out and lit one up. I knew I needed to quit but I didnt have the want to to quit. I had a plan for when we got to Mississippi. I was going to get in touch with Chase, Colby, Austin, and Cory to help me plan this for Kate. I knew I wanted to play at the fairgrounds since I played there for about two years just to play and everyone was always happy to hear us. I thought about this the whole way to Mississippi and when I looked up I saw that welcome to Mississippi sign and I thought: well no turning back now.
Peyton's point of view: I drove for an hour more just to get back to the town that I had become so fond of and when I saw that Welcome to Philadelphia Mississippi sign I felt like I was home. I hit my brother on the shoulder and he woke up and looked out the window to find out where we were but it never takes long to figure out you're in Philly. I drove us back to our house that mom and dad decided to keep here and I got the key out from under the deck and unlocked the door. We had people to come in and make sure everything was up to speed almost every week so the house was always perfect whenever we decided to come back. We went upstairs and I went to my room and started unpacking when I saw something under my mattress. I went over to my bed and got a note that was left there. It had been from Kate and back when we were together. She wrote: Dear Peyton, Well we have been together six months now and it has been great. You're everything that I have ever wanted in a boyfriend and I love it. I'm looking forward to our senior year and all the memories we will make. I'm looking forward to prom with you and graduating with you. I know you will always be there for me no matter what and I thank God everyday that you are mine. I love you Peyton. Forever. Love, Kate Reading that made me realize how badly I treated the girl of my dreams. Kate was and is my world and my everything and I was going to do everything in my power to make sure I got her back.
