This is a Palex story and no I don't own Degrassi. Tell me what you think.

"Oh come on. Don't you ever wonder what would've happened if we never started dating?" Paige asked Alex as they lay in bed trying to fall asleep.

"You mean if you hadn't given me a chance?"

Paige just smiles at Alex.

"No Paige I never think about that. Not since we've been together anyway. When I was dating Jay I felt like I would end up like my mom both of us working minimum wage jobs just barely getting by. I would've been a little luckier because Jay wasn't abusive but it still wouldn't be a very nice life. After I broke up with him I started to think I would just date crappy guy after crappy guy probably from the ravine. I know that's not much of a future. Then we started dating and I knew my future would be with you and it would be great. So now you know my secret. I did think about the future a little bit. I was right though. My life with you has been great."

"I love you so much right now."

"So you tell me now because you've obviously wondered what would've happened if we didn't start dating."

"Well I always thought I would go to Banting and then work in business for a couple of years to make money. Then I would meet a rich guy and we'd get married. Everything would be a perfect Cinderella story."

Alex bursts out laughing and Paige joins in. When they calm down Alex asks Paige, "Did you really think life would be like that?"

"Yes. I thought if I had all that then I would get my happily ever after. That's how all fairy tales are supposed to end."

"That's adorable but not likely. Sorry you got stuck with me."

"I don't have a problem with that. My life with you so far has been better than I could've ever imagined."

"I love you."

"I love you too. I think we should try to sleep now. We have an early morning tomorrow to meet with my parents. We have to tell them we're engaged."

"I can't wait to see their reaction."

"Don't worry. They love you."

"Whatever you say baby."

"Goodnight"

"Night"

The next day

Paige POV

I woke up the next morning to the alarm clock going off. This morning came way too soon. I stretched out my arm expecting to find Alex but was disappointed because there was nothing there. I guess she must've woken up early to get ready. I found it cute that she was nervous about what my parents would think about us getting married. I opened my eyes.

"Alex?"

Then I looked around the room and was immediately confused.

"Paige, get up. You don't want to be late for school." I heard my mother call from downstairs. This doesn't make any sense. I'm in my old room at my parents' house and my mom is telling me I have to go to school. I graduated from college and live with Alex. I mean what the hell is going on? I threw on some clothes and went downstairs to the kitchen. My mom and dad were sitting at the table.

"Can someone tell me what's going on?"

"You're going to be late for school. That's what's going on. Here's your backpack. Have a great day sweetheart." My mom answered.

I didn't know what to do. So I decided to just go school and see what happens. I drove to Degrassi. As I got out of the car I was greeted by Marco.

"Oh my god. I love your brother so much. He told me the plans he made for us this weekend. They're so romantic."

I just glared at him.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Why are we still in school Marco?"

"What do you mean still? We're seniors. It's our last year."

"Whatever I need to talk to Alex."

I started to walk away and heard Marco say something but I didn't know what. At the moment I didn't care. I just wanted to find Alex and make sense of this situation. I walked inside and saw Jay and Alex leaning against the lockers. I walked over to them.

"Hey Alex can I talk to you in private?"

"Um let me think. No"

I was confused. Alex and I dated all of senior year. Why was she acting like this? They started to walk away. As I watched them walk away I saw Jay put his arm around Alex. I expected Alex to pull away but instead she put her arm around his waist. I felt jealous. Alex is mine. I wanted to rip his arm off her and put my arm around her. Just the Marco came up to me. He must've noticed I was upset.

"I told you trying to talk to her wasn't a good idea."

"When did they get back together?"

"About a week ago I think."

"What's today?"

"Thursday"

"No what's the date?"

"The second"

"Of what month?" I practically screamed at him. I was starting to get pissed.

"October Paige are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine. I'll see you later."

I went into the bathroom. I was far from okay. I didn't understand anything. Alex and I started dating in the second week of September. So why weren't we together now? Plus I wanted to know why I was even here. I should've woken up with Alex and then went to my parents' house to tell them all about Alex and I getting married. Now I'm back in high school. This was all a lot for me to handle. I guess for now I just have to live through it and then I'll wake up and everything will go back to normal. I hope. I left the bathroom and went to my locker. I still remembered the combination. While I was looking around inside I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist. For a moment I thought it was Alex but then I heard him say, "Good morning baby."

I turned around and said, "Morning Spinner"

He tried to kiss me but I turned my head.

"What you don't have a kiss for your boyfriend?"

Great to make things even better Spinner's my boyfriend.

"Sorry hun." I gave him a quick peck on the lips.

"Come on I'll walk you to class." He grabbed my hand as we walked.

I thought I better wake up soon because I know this has to be a nightmare.

Now that you read it please review. You'll make my day.
