She agreed to the meeting and was now regretting it. Peyton was sitting on the cliff waiting for the mysterious 'brother' to show up. He never did, it had been way after sundown and nobody but her had arrived.
She pulled out her phone to call the number. She'd scolded herself for not thinking of it earlier. "Oh yeah, just meeting your long lost sister. Easy to forget." She said to herself. She clicked on the number and brought the phone to her ear.
"Hello?"
"Hi, it's Peyton. You said we could meet at the top of the cliff tonight, it's tonight." Clanging emensed in the background of phone call.
"I am so sorry! I forgot it was tonight, I'm so stupid. I'm coming give me like five minutes." He ended the call abruptly, leaving her alone to her thoughts again.
Last time she'd gone out here alone, someone'd tried to rape her. Jason wouldn't let her out of his sights. It'd gotten quite annoying but Peyton didn't mind spending hours with Jason.
She'd fallen hard for the guy, the way his hair is just slightly shaggier than last time they'd met. The way his eyes are the colour of the sky on a nice summer day, the way he has a regal stance and the way his eyebrows scrunch together when he's worried. The way he nervously looks down, or when he hugs people when he gets excited. She's not sure, but she's sure of one thing. She's in love with Jason Grace.
"Hello?" Someone called out. She looked over, a sillouett of a person was making their way towards her. Out of pure anxiety, she stepped a bit forwards so then if they'd try to push her, she'd have an advantage.
"Peyton?" The voice called out again. She waved in acknowledgment. "I'm Triton Ceman, we spoke on the phone. I am so sorry I'm late." She waved it off and walked closer to 'Triton'.
He had unruly black hair, sea green eyes and a strong figure. He was about 5'9" and seemed nice. "It's so nice to finally meet you! Dad's told me wonderful things about you."
He leaned in to hug her but she stepped back. "I've never met my Dad." she hissed. He stepped back in fear.
"Poseidon Ceman?" She dropped everything. He was my dad? After all these years? "You know him?" She nodded glumly.
"H-He never told me that he was-" Triton stepped forwards and hugged me.
"He's scared you'll hate him." She shook my head wiping away tears.
"I just wanted a Dad. I dealt with Gabe, being alone with my mom. She's got Paul now and Tyson my half-brother."
"Come on, I want you to meet my friends." She grinned. They walked down the beach talking about various things like how it was like growing up, how to act around her friends.
Peyton was looking forwards to the jealous look on Jason's face when she brings a man home. She unlocked the door and opened it, allowing him to enter. Triton stood at the front entrance, basking in the glory of the house before taking his shoes off.
The two entered the kitchen where everyone was talking. When Thalia noticed them, everyone stopped.
"This is Triton, my-" Jason cut her off.
"Who the hell is this?" He asked with so much anger, Peyton stepped back in fear. It seemed the jealousy was overtaking Jason because he kept walking until he reached the two.
"You know what happened last time when-" It was Peyton's turn to cut in.
"I'm a grown woman Jason, not five! Let me finish." She yelled, causing him to shut up. "This is Triton, my half-brother." She spat, glaring at Jason.
After everyone was introduced, Triton had to go. Not before getting Thalia's number. She waved goodbye and closed the door. When Peyton turned around a guilt-striken Jason was standing there.
"Peyton I-" She put her hand up.
"I don't wanna hear it." She stormed up to her room and slammed the door, leaving Jason standing in the dust.
