In the Moment

a Boondocks Saint fanfiction

Ch. 10

Peytons POV

Ring Ring. I opened my eyes and rubbed them. Ring Ring

I grabbed my phone to see who is was

It was my home number. I answered it.

"Hello?"

"PEYTON! ARE YOU OKAY!" Sara yelled.

I moved the phone away from my ears.

"Geez, Do you need to freakin' yell?"

"Sorry! But your okay?!"

"Yes, why are you using my house phone?" I asked.

"Um, my phone died and I came over here cause... habit..."

I could hear the saddest in her voice.

"Whats up? You okay?"

"yea... but I turned on the TV and your dad is on it."

"what?" I almost forgot that my dad was dead.

"Yea... executed... with pennies... and... just like..."

Her voice was fading.

"Sara? Sara, that's what I needed to talk to you about."

"Just like the Saints."

"Yea just like them... because it was them."

"WHERE ARE YOU PEYTON?! WHY DID THEY KILL YOUR FATHER?!" she question me

A tear stream down my face. I don't know why though.

"Russians." I replied softly.

"What?"

"My father took us to a bar and he was with a bunch of Russians. But they were there. And they followed us to the house. Sara, they thought I was in danger. They were trying to save me..."

I paused so I could clear my throat.

"And he was one of them. Those mobster we see on TV all the time."

It was silent. I swear I could hear her shock.

"They... You saw it happen?" she finally said.

"Yea... I did. And I'm staying with them till I can come back."

"You are?"

"I have no where else."

Then the Sara I knew came back to me

"YOU ARE?! WHAT?! THAT'S CRAZY!" she said with a laugh.

"yea, I guess it is..." I laughed back.

"Peyton? You up?" I heard Murphys voice yell. And I'm pretty sure Sara heard.

"Yeaaa..." I yelled back.

"Come down!"

"Is that..." Sara started.

"Yep. Hey I need to go. I'll call you later okay?"

"Awesome. Peyton, be safe. Talk to ya soon!"

Then the phone hung up. I looked at my phone for a minute before I put it in my pocket and walked down stairs. I never did tell her about me kissing him. Probably better if she didn't know.

I got up from the chair I was in and walked down the stairs. I saw Connor and Murphy at the bar with some beer. Doc was there too.

"Ye look awful" Connor stated.

I looked down. I was still in my clothes from yesterday and I wouldn't doubt that my hair was messy.

"Thanks..." I said walking to where they were at. "I'm hungry. Do you have any real food?"

As I sat down a plate that had a beagle with cream cheese came sliding down. I caught the plate and looked up to who slid it. It was Murphy.

"Thanks."

"No problem." he replied.

I picked it up and bit into it slowly and before I knew it, it was gone.

Murphys POV

"So" Peyton said after she got done eating, which was not long. "why did you call me down?"

"ye were talkin with someone. Who? Was it ye friend-"

"Sara? Yea, it was. She called me back."

"Oh, and...?" Connor asked.

"What?"

"What happened?"

"Um... I-"

"Ye don't have to answer him, Peyton." I cut her off. I turned to my brother. "Let her business be her own."

"Okay." he relied. He picked up his beer and drank the rest of it. "I'm going to get our stuff." he said while getting up and walking away.

"Fine."

There was a silents that I didn't really like.

"I don't care telling him, or you." Peyton said after he walked out of the room.

"Well I do." I mumbled looking at my drink.

"Does is really matter?"

I turned my head to her. "Yea, it does." I said a little louder that I should have.

"The b-b-bar is goin to open s-s-soon." Doc said before Peyton could respond.

"Yep, Thanks." I nodded.

Could I get and reviews by chance? Thanks for reading!
