Bryce P.O.V
I look down on at my phone to see Lucy is ringing me again, I decline the call before continuing my walk around the park. I feel my phone vibrating again, I pull it out and it is Lucy again. I sigh before answering this time
"Hello" I say bracing myself for the yelling that is coming
"YOU HAVE BEEN MISSING FOR HOURS AND ALL YOU SAY IS HELLO!" Lucy yells
"What else did you expect me to say? I am so sorry about the fact my PEYTON made me leave school because she is jealous bitch" I say back
"Just get home Bryce" She says before hanging up.
I sigh before turning around and walking back towards my car, I get in and put my head back so it is resting on the back of my seat for a few minutes. I start my car before heading back home, as I pull into my street, I begin bracing myself for the angry rant I am going to get from Lucy and later from Charlie. I reverse into the driveway before grabbing my school bag and hopping out, as I shut my door and turn around I see Lucy waiting for me on the front veranda. I walk up to her trying to hide my fear but she notices anyway. She sits down on the top step and pats the spot next her, I throw bag near the door before sitting down next to her. After a few minutes she finally talks.
"What the hell were you thinking Bryce?" She asks looking at me
"I had to get away, Peyton knows why I don't sing in public but she went out of her way to make me look like the bad guy" I say looking at my car
"Singing? Peyton told us you just ditched school" Lucy says looking at me
"Of course she did, no I was with Santana when Peyton and Her friend come up to talk to me about my singing and how I should join Glee club. I said no and told Peyton she could walk home before taking off and hiding in the auditorium. I went up and sat on the piano and was singing Hall of Fame when I heard Santana come in but ignored her, I started singing again but before I could even finish the song, that chick was up there telling me I had to join glee club…" I say clenching my fist
"Then you got angry right?" she asks
"Yeah, I told her I didn't want to join the club and to leave me alone before grabbing my bag and leaving. But I asked Santana to bring Peyton home because I knew if I saw her I would kill her." I say on the verge of tears.
Lucy just nods before wrapping her arms around me and just holding me, until Charlie comes out and sits down next to me.
"What's wrong?" she asks me
"Peyton tried to humiliate Bryce at school today… She told someone about how well Bryce could sing even though she knows full well that Bryce doesn't people knowing she can sing after what happened last time." Lucy says still holding me
"What? Are you serious? Lucy you go deal with Peyton, I will stay here with Bryce" Charlie says.
I feel Lucy get up and go back inside then I hear yelling but I tune it out.
"Bryce, why don't you give singing another try, you need to stop blaming yourself for what happened." Charlie says looking at me
"It isn't my fault?! I was in the car with them, I heard them arguing about whether or not they could afford lessons, next thing I know I am waking up in hospital with stitches down the right side of body and finding out that my parents have disappeared off the face of the earth but that's okay because at least they aren't dead! If I hadn't asked about those damn singing lessons none of this would have happened. Mum and Dad would still be here and Peyton wouldn't hate me!" I shout before walking and getting in my car and taking off
"Bryce!" I hear shout at the car but I just keep driving
SANTANA's P.O.V
I am just finishing up on my homework when I hear shouting from next door. I get up and walk to the window to find Bryce shouting at her aunt, I miss the first bit but I catch the second part and my heart stops when I hear it.
"If I hadn't asked about those damn singing lessons none of this would have happened. Mum and Dad would still be here and Peyton wouldn't hate me!" Bryce shouts before walking and getting in her car and taking off.
"Bryce!" I hear Charlie shout but it is no use.
I ran down stairs and grab my car keys before hopping in my car and chasing after her, I follow her all the way to a park on the other side of town. I watch her get out of the car and look at me before sighing. I pull up beside her, before getting out and walking over to her.
"How much of that did you hear?" She asks looking at me.
"Something about singing lessons, parents being here and your sister wouldn't hate you" I say leaning against my car.
"Well since you know that you might as well know the whole story, I mean it isn't going to be long before Peyton tells someone." She says rubbing her temples
" Since I can remember I have always be able to sing, my mum used to tell me that I was going to famous because of my voice one day and I used beg her for singing lessons but my dad would always say no. Then I was picked as the Lead in my 3rd grade class's version of Cinderella. I was so happy, I practiced every minute of every day until the big day. Peyton didn't have a role and because I got one she refused to even come watch it, so she stayed with my Aunts that night. After the performance my parents and me were driving home, I asked again if I could get singing lessons. They got into a full blown argument about it and the next thing I know, I am waking up in a hospital bed with my Aunt Charlie sitting with me. A few hours later I was told that my parents and I had been in horrible car accident, apparently my dad lost control of the car and we had crashed into a tree, and a branch from that tree had become lodged in through the right side of my chest." She lifts up the side of her cheerio's top so me a six inch scar running down her side, I gasp quietly.
"Then I was later told that both my mother and father had disappeared from the hospital and no one knew where they were. They were told I had woken up but when the nurse went to bring them to see me, they were gone. I was to drugged up to realize that my parents were really gone, so every day I would ask the nurse if they had my found my parents and every day she would shake her head at me. The day I realized my parents had left was when Peyton was finally allowed to see me, it was about a week and half after the accident. She came storming into my room, then started shouting saying if I hadn't of asked for those stupid singing lessons then mum and dad wouldn't have left and how it was all my fault that my parents left , how she would always blame me for it. That's the one good thing about Peyton she always stays true to her word but at my year seven graduation I saw them, they were standing at the back of the hall with they had huge proud smiles across their faces, I smiled at them and waved but they were already gone. I tried to tell Peyton that they were there but she called me stupid and told me they were never coming back, I believe her of course." She says tears rolling down her face, I walk over and wrap my arms around her as she starts sobbing.
I just hold her until she stops crying. She unwraps hr arms and lifts her head up to look at me.
"You are in that Glee Club right? She asks me.
"Yeah, Quinn made us join last year why?" I ask her
"Can I tag along one time and see what it is about?" she asks
"Yeah, I am sure Mr Shue would love that" I say looking at her
"Well I better get home before Charlie rings the police and reports me missing." She says
"Oh crap me too." I say running around to the other side of my car
"Hey Santana?" I hear her say
I look at her.
"Thank you for following me, god knows what would have happened if you didn't" Bryce says before hopping her car
"It is what friends do" I say before jumping in my car and heading home.
