Strength Of The World

It has been about a month since Zack and Peyton got back together, and things were going great. The guys had been in the studio a lot working on a new album, and Peyton had gotten a job at the pediatrician's office she worked for in high school. When she wasn't at work, she was with Zack or one of the other guys, or the girls. She spent most of her nights with Zack, and had weekly Sunday dinners with her parents. She was just getting off work after a particularly long Thursday, when her phone started ringing. "Helloooooo, big brother." She laughed. "PEYTON!" Jimmy shouted through the phone. "Hey Jim and not Brian," Peyton laughed, "Why are you calling from Bri's phone?" "Well," the goofy drummer started, "I kind of can't find my phone. I threw it at Johnny earlier, and now I can't find it." He said nonchalantly. She laughed, picturing him shrugging. "Anyway, you hungry? It's Thursday, which means tacos and margaritas!" "I would love a margarita. Let me run home and change and I'll meet you guys there." She replied. "No don't change! Your nurse clothes are cute. Just meet us there now because I'm STARVING!" "Okay Jim," she said with a laugh. "I'll see you in a few." They disconnected and she smiled, heading toward her friends and her favorite food.

Once she got to the restaurant she followed the noise and found her friends. "PEANUT!" Jimmy shouted, pulling out the chair between him and Zack, "Come sit with us! We ordered you cheese dip and a margarita!" Peyton laughed and sat down, leaning over to accept a kiss from her boyfriend. "Rough day?" Matt asked with a laugh as she slouched down in her chair. "You could say that. Lots of shots on babies and runny noses. I'm exhausted." She sighed. "Well have a few margaritas and eat some dinner, then go home with Zack and make him rub your feet!" Lacey said with a laugh while Zack cringed, "Sorry babe, I'm not touching your feet." Peyton laughed out loud, everyone knew Zack absolutely hates feet. "But baby, my feet are killing me! She pouted. "Sorry babe. I'll take you to get a pedicure tomorrow." He chuckled, wrapping his arm around her shoulders. "Okaaay fine." She huffed. "Besides, my feet need to look nice for those stilettos I'm wearing Saturday night." Val grinned at her friend, "I'm so excited for my bachelorette party! We are going to have so much fun!" "Yep, just don't call us for a ride home." Johnny said with a smirk, earning a smack from Lacey. "Actually we should probably tell you guys not to call us, because we all know every single one of you are going to try to keep tabs on us the entire night." Leana spoke up with a laugh, "Yeah," Michelle added, "And we're all staying at a location that you guys won't know because you're not crashing our party!" "You guys think we will actually call you during a bachelor party? Yeah right." Brian rolled his eyes. "Oh whatever Brian, don't act like you don't text Michelle every hour if she's not with you." Val said with a laugh, which made the entire table erupt into laughter, aside from Brian who, folded his arms across his chest and pouted. "But wait, why are he rest of you guys laughing? You ALL do it!" Peyton said, which made the rest of the girls laugh harder when the guys stopped laughing and looked at her. "Come on babe. I don't text you every hour." Zack said. "Nope, its about every 30 minutes." Peyton laughed even harder when Zack put his head down, "Oh my god I needed this today." She said, wiping the tears from her eyes.

After everyone had finished their dinner and margaritas, Peyton went to her parents' house. She had the day off tomorrow, so she was going to spend the day at the studio with Zack and the guys. And since she was spending the day with Zack, she figured she would go home and see her parents. "Hey babe, not staying at Zack's tonight?" Her mom asked when she walked in the door. "Nah, I'm gonna go to the studio with him tomorrow, so I figured I'd spend some time with you guys." She replied, hugging her mom and kissing her dad on the cheek. "I'm gonna go shower and then I'll be back down." "Okay sweetheart," her mom smiled, "But hurry up because I just opened a bottle of wine and we need to catch up!" Peyton laughed and ran up the stairs. After a quick shower she threw on a pair of gym shorts and an old tshirt and spent the rest of the evening hanging out with her mom.
