- Peyton's POV -
He just asked me the question I don't think I can answer right now. Why did he have to ask me that? I thought. "Um... I'll be right back,!" I replied and then walked over to Julie, grabbed her hand, and dragged to the the ladies room closing the door. After checking to see if anyone else was there and finding no one, I walked back to the door and locked it. "Okay, do you want to tell me what's wrong?" She questioned with an eyebrow raised. That was when I broke down for the first time since the break up, only to cause her to wrap her arms around me and ask "What's wrong?" "He...he ask wh... why he hadn't heard of m...me until now. I I I... I know you didn't say anything about me for obvious reasons and because it was hard to talk about me without worrying. This is the first time I have even though a...about, D D... David, in like 3 days an...and it hurts!" I wailed into my best friends arms. She just rubbed my back saying words like "It's okay." and "You don't need him, you know that." and lastly "He's not worth you tears."
Suddenly I began to think about the last thing she said: he's not worth your tears, so get up, be a better you and show him what he has lost! I thought to myself and finally stopped crying and fixed myself up. After that I looked at her and said confidently "You know what? You're right! He's not worth my tears, I'm done crying over him, come on." I grabbed her hand and unlocked the door saying "I'm going to be the sexier version of me, and I'm going to show him what he has lost." She then stated with joy "Now there's the girl I became best friends with. Let's go."
We were already ready to start recording when something hit me, so I asked her "I had an idea. What if we had a party at my overly huge house tonight after work? We invite everyone you introduced me, play some adult games and drink lots of alcohol. So, what do you think?" and stressed the 'overly huge house' part. "I'll bring the Bourbon and Vodka. How many bottles should I bring?" She finishes asking and agreeing with my idea. "5." I replied then continued, "After the first bottle we'll play spin the bottle, the adult version, what do you think?" "Okay we'll be there. I'll run to the store before coming over to get the alcohol and then everyone can follow you and whoever you ride with. We rode together this morning, remember?" She questioned. "Yeah sure great idea!" I answered."Lets tell the others. I think they'll like the idea..." While motioning me to follow her, so I did. Once we were all back in the room together, Nina, Candice, Kat, and Claire all came to me with a question. "Are you okay? We saw you walk away from Daniel, almost in tears. He's really worried that he said something wrong." "Yeah, I'm fine. One day, all of us girls will get together in a girls night and I'll tell you. I'm just not ready, okay?" I said to which they all nodded with smiles on their faces. "Juls, should we tell them now or later?" I hollered to her, receiving a nod as a sign to now. "Okay everyone listen up." I said to get their attention. "I'm hosting a small party tonight at my place. You all that are invited. What do you say?" I continued with. "We will be playing adult games, and drinking alcohol..." I was answered by all of them with a "Yeah, that'd be great." "Okay everyone will have to follow behind in their cars, but I'm gonna need someone to ride with, because Julie and I rode together this morning and she needs to run to the store before she heads over." I stated. Everyone started to talk among themselves trying to figure out who was I going to ride with. I realized Daniel, Julie and I were not in the conversation. Daniel walked up to me and asked "Are you okay? I didn't do anything wrong did I?" I replied looking at him "Some day I'll tell you what was that about, but only when I feel like I can talk about it, okay?" "Yeah, sure!" He replied, then continued,."Whenever you're ready, I'm here for you." I looked at him grateful for his understanding. Suddenly everyone shouted "You're riding with Daniel." He joked asking "And I don't get a say anything about it?" Then he turned his head to wink at me. I smirked and decided to play along and said "Yeah, I mean, what if I wanted to ride with Ian, hum?" They all raised an eyebrow, causing Daniel and I to fall into a small fit of laughter.
