You Got Me Going, a degrassi fanfic

AN: Hey everyone, it's been a long time…again, as promised. But I did write another short and sweet little ditty for the fans. Anyways, this story takes place right after the gang decides to move away from each other. But this story does not include Griffin at all. Or the momentary lapse in judgement on Paige's part to sleep with him without knowing more about him first. They never explain if she has aids or not, so I think the writers needed a filler for an episode and they made something up too fast without thinking. And with that said, on with the fic!

You Got Me Going

Paige was just about to pack the rest of her stuff for the new condo. She had been the last one to leave the apartment that her, Ellie, and Marco had shared for the past two years. As she turned around, she was met with a familiar face.

"A lot of good memories here." The person smiled, "What, no hug?"

The little things, you do to me are
taking me over, i wanna show ya
everything inside of me, all
like a nervous heart that, is crazy beating
my feet are stuck here, against the pavement
i wanna break free, i wanna make it
closer to your eyes, get your attention
before you pass me by

Alex stepped closer Paige, taking her slacked jaw in account as a good sign to make her move. She took Paige's hand in her own. "I wanted to make things right between us before you run off into a new life without me."

"Alex…" Paige looked up into those familiar brown eyes, "how did you know…?"

So back up back up take another chance
Don't you mess up mess up I don't wanna lose you
Wake up wake up this aint just a thing that you
Give up give up don't you say that I'd be
Better off better off, sleepin by myself and wonderin
If im better off better off, with out you now

"I didn't, well, Marco knew that things weren't finished…I mean the way we…I…messed up completely. I would completely understand if you didn't want to see me again…"

Before Alex could finish the sentence Paige had her full lips covering her own. "We both have a lot to work on…"

So don't just leave me hanging on

"I'm not asking you for a quick fix, Paige" Alex stepped back, and looked into the woman she loved eyes. "I'm looking for a friendship, and then more."

Paige pressed her hands flat against Alex's and slipped their fingers till they were intertwined. "I know…could we just skip it? Could you just be kissing me now?"

And every time, you notice me by
holdin me closely, and sayin sweet things
i don't believe, that it could be
you speekin your mind and, sayin the real thing
my feet have broke free, and i am leavin
i'm not gonna stand here, feelin lonely but
i wont forget you, and i won't think this
was just a waste of time

Alex embraced Paige and kissed her passionately. When they finally broke, Alex spoke first, "I don't want to rush this with you anymore."

Paige smiled, "Then what was that Ms. Nunez?"

"A lapse? I missed you, and kissing, and feeling you close. I missed loving you. Waking up to you every morning, even if some mornings you wouldn't let me sleep."

Paige pulled Alex closer to her, wrapping her arms around her slender waist, "Then maybe we should take the time to, reconnect? I tried convincing everyone around me that I was done with you, but you wanna know something?"

"What's that?"

"I could never convince myself that I was better off without you."

But don't just leave me hangin on...
