Maybe change isn't bad - Payton Moormeier

thirty

(Time skip - Friday)
Lessons go by as normal and I go back to my dorm with Payton. I get some snacks and we go to my room. I sit at my desk and get started with history homework. Then we do our maths homework and once were done we watch tv.

"We should get started on our presentation for English" I say

"Why, I don't want to" he whines

"But if we don't we will fall behind and I don't want to fall behind" I say. I get the sheet of paper with the information on it. "What topic should we do" I ask handing him the sheet of paper

"We should do abortion" he says

"Ok" I say

We brainstorm ideas on what to do. We decide to do both sides of pro-choice and pro-life and justify both sides and what about both sides are unfair. We do this so its equal and we dont take sides. We get started on the first few slides when the girls come back.

"We're going to be drinking in the boys dorm" Maddie says

"Ok, are you going now" I ask

"Yeah are you coming" she asks

"I will in a bit" I say

I go back to my room and manage to convince Payton to go back to his dorm with the girls while I finish the slide we were doing. They go and I watch a bit of tv before finishing the slide. I get a few things but before I'm about to leave Esther calls.

"Guess what" she almost screams as I answer the call

"What" I ask putting her on speaker

"I managed to get my phone back" she says

"Well done but how" I ask

She explain how and we talk for a while. Towards the end of the call I start to tidy my room, she hangs up and I finish tidying my room. I forgot what I was going to do before she called so I go to the living room. I end up tidying most of the dorm because its a mess. Just as I finish Ava calls me.

"Guess what" she says when I answer the facetime

"What" I ask

"Dads moved out. The house is on sale again" she says

"Good, I'm glad he's gone" I say "What's been happening while I'm here" I ask

"Nothing much. I'm pretty sure mum met Paytons mum, they bumped into each other last week or something and they've been hanging out" she says

"So their friends" I question and she nods "Interesting, where is she now" I ask

"She just got back from work" she says

She goes downstairs and I say hi to my mum. We all talk for a bit before they go for dinner. I realise I'm hungry so I make some food and eat it while watching tv in the living room. I wash my stuff up and go back to my room. I lay on my bed and go on my phone.

I must have fallen asleep because when I wake up its an hour later. I get my keys and leave my dorm, I lock the door and go to the boys dorm. They are all probably drunk by now so this will be interesting. I know the door will be unlocked so I just walk in. When I walk in I see Payton and Liv lean in and they kiss, I expect him to move away but he doesn't. It wasn't a quick peck, it was like a kiss kiss.

"What the fuck" I say still standing at the door and everyone turns to face me

"Kaden I-" Payton says. I can tell he's drunk but he doesn't slur that much

"No, fuck you" I say before turning around and slamming the door shut

PAYTON'S POV (that's new)
I start to wonder where Kaden is, she said she would be here ages ago. I go to text her but get distracted when Jordan hands me another drink. This continues to happen for the next hour or so until I'm really drunk. I can tell the hangover is going to be bad tomorrow.

"Lest play truth or dare but with no truth" Maddie says

"So dare" Liam say

"Yeah" Maddie says

We all get new drinks. If you don't do the dare you have to down your drink. I down a few but I stop being a pussy and do all the dares. I think I'm the least drunk but I don't know. We do a couple of rounds but the dares get boring.

"Stop being boring give me a good one" I say

"You want interesting. Ok, kiss Liv" Liam says

"No way, I can't" I say

"I'll give you fifty bucks. I know you need it" Jordan says. I do need the money

"Fuck it" I sat turning to face Liv.

I hesitate at first but then we lean in and kiss. I think about how Kaden is better, I get lost n my thoughts and forget to pull away. As soon as I realise we are still kissing I pull away. It was only for a few seconds instead of the quick peck it was supposed to be.

"What the fuck" Kaden says. She's standing at the door and everyone turns to face her

"Kaden I-"I start but she cuts me off

"No, fuck you" she says before turning around and slamming the door shut

I get up and go down two cups of water in attempts to sober up. I stumble a little to the door. I open the door and she's already gone. I make my way to her dorm trying not to get caught by teachers. I get to her dorm and go to open it but its locked. I knock on the door and I get no answer so I knock again.

"Kaden please answer" I say but I get nothing "Please talk to me. I'm sorry ok. I'm really fucking sorry" I say and the door opens. She's tried to make it look like she hasn't cried but I can tell she already has.

"How and why" She asks

"It was a dare, I didn't want to but I really needed the money Jordan offered so I did it" I say

"Seriously. You did it for money, I cant believe you" she says

"I know I shouldn't have and-" I start but she cuts me off again

"If you knew then why did you" she says "How could you after everything" she continues. Tears threatening to escape but she won't let them. "After I told you the I was scared it was going to happen. What happened to I wouldn't do that to you and your all I want" she finishes

"It was a stupid mistake, please forgive me" I say

"I can't. I can't just forgive you. I'm sorry" she says before shutting the door.

What have I done, I've just lost the thing the means the most to me. What do I do.
I go back to my dorm and Jordan gives me the money, I take it and go to my room. I try my hardest not to cry but it doesn't work.

A/n: you probably saw that coming but oh well
