Y: "Payton?"

P: "Miss me?"

~

Y: "Where did you come from?"

Y: "When did you get here and where are we going?"

  Payton stays quiet as a million thoughts run through my head.

Y: "Stop the car."

P: "I don't think I will."

Y: "Stop the car, Payton."

P: "No."

Y: "STOP THE FUCKING CAR PAYTON!"

  Payton pulls over on the side of the road almost driving off into the woods. I try to open the door but it's locked, I push the unlock button but just my luck, it's broken.

Y: "Unlock the fucking door, Payton."

P: "Who the fuck do you think you're talking to?"

Y: "My psychotic ex, now unlock the door."

P: "Ex? We never broke up, babe."

Y: "Well, I'm breaking up with you now so just unlock the door and I'll be on my way."

P: "NO!"

I jump at the sudden loud voice next to me.

P: "I don't know who you think you're talking to like that, you think you can do whatever you want but no, you listen to me and do as I say."

P: "I've obviously been gone for too long, it shows by the way you're acting."

Y: "Maybe you should have stayed gone."

P: "It's because of Nick, isn't it? I'm gonna kill him when I see him."

Y: "Kill him? No, you aren't going to go anywhere near him."

P: "Maybe if you would listen to me and do as you're told I wouldn't have to."

Y: "Fuck you."

P: "You already did that."

  I look at him for a minute trying to comprehend what was just said.

Y: "Unlock the fucking door, right now."

P: "Why? Is it because you know I'm right?" he smirks.

Y: "You know what? I'm done."

  I reach over him and press the unlock button but before I can sit back down he grabs my neck roughly and turns my head to face him.

P: "I'm only doing this because I love you."

Y: "If you did you wouldn't have done the stuff you did, now let go."

P: "You really don't believe that I love you?"

Y: "Payton, let go."

P: "What do I have to do to prove my love?"

Y: "You could let go."

P: "No! You'll just go to Nick like you always do!"

Y: "Because he's been with me for my entire life and has never left me, unlike some people."

  He squeezes my neck tighter causing me to wince in pain.

P: "Don't talk to me like that."

Y: "I do what I want, bitch."

  Payton just looks at me like he's deciding what he should do next. Without warning, he pulls my face to his and connects our lips. I pull backwards but he has a firm grip around my neck so I do the thing that any girl would do, punch him in the gut. Once he lets go I take that chance to get back to my seat and reach for the door, but before I can open it he locks it.
