falling for the musician.

chapter 56

your mom is sitting at the table helping brady with homework. you look over at your dad's in his office. you open the door.

A | hey.

dad | hey?

A | what are you doing?

dad | i'm just working.

A | that's cool.

dad | yeah, what's up?

A | i just came in to say hi.

dad | well hey.

A | you want to watch a movie tonight?

dad | i can't. i'm piled with work or i totally would.

A | oh, that okay. maybe i'll just watch a movie with brady.

dad | that sounds like a good plan.

A | maybe. bye dad, i love you.

dad | i love you too sweetheart.

you walk upstairs and take a shower. changing into another one of payton's hoodies you stole when you were at his house and some shorts. you put your bracelet back on and open your macbook. you start looking at management company's when your mom walks in with shakes.

A | what is this?

you smile.

mom | i bought you a shake from the surf shack.

A | thank you!

mom | what are you doing up here?

A | payton told me i needed a management company so... i'm looking into it.

mom | you have any ideas?

you show her the list of people you reached out to.

mom | that's awesome. well, i'll leave you to that.

A | thank you.

you're typing yet another email when your bracelet gets one long tap a short one and another long one. (payton misses you) you send one straight back and smile. you decide to sit on your phone for an hour. you're scrolling through your for you page when you see this tik tok payton posted.

(skip to 2:45)

"what a day. thank you to everyone who came and turned UP in San Jose today"
