Back to Normality... Maybe.

Who: Peyton and open to all teens
When: Evening
Where: Marsh house

By the time Peyton's father left for work in the late afternoon, nearly everything was ready and set for the party that night. James Marsh was aware of the party, though Peyton had a feeling he didn't really know what kind of party it was. She and Tyler had claimed they were going to have some friends over and that Promise Theory was going to play, which their father had agreed too, though she could tell he was a bit wary, especially of Tyler, before he left. Which, Peyton supposed, he had reason to be, given everything that needed to be moved, the amount of people actually walking through the doors and the beer being snuck in. Peyton had a feeling she'd be on trash duty to get rid of the evidence by the time the party was over and her dad's shift would be ending.

She managed to look somewhat presentable before she headed downstairs into the foray, the rooms already crowded with classmates. It felt normal - a party with music and friends. One of the last parties they would have, no doubt, before the weather turned and it would be too cold to spill out into the backyard when the rooms grew to be too suffocating. Peyton hung back a bit out of the way of people eager to laugh, drink and forget the stuff happening around town over the past few weeks, keeping her eyes open for people she knew and had invited.
