Welcome! thanks for checking out my fic! It's going to be filled with lots of drama, let me know what you think!
So it happened one night when Paige was sitting happily with her girlfriend, Sarah, of 2 years in their first apartment together, when one of her girlfriend's straight friend's started talking about a girl crush she had in high school. Paige was playing on myspace as she had done since she finally signed up for it a year ago while Sarah and her friends were playing Mario Party on the Nintendo Wii.
Paige was sitting on the couch in the living room preoccupied by the gossips of myspace to really pay too much attention to the game that was being played on the 27 inch flat screen TV in front of her. "Oh my god, hun!" she gasped as she took a hit from the joint that was being passed around and looked at Sarah, "Ash and Rae just broke up!"
"Are you serious? They have two kids together, I never would have thought in a million years that those two would ever break up!" Sarah said intensely as she caught Paige's eyes. Sarah's straight friend Kasey was then brought in on the conversation, and how Ash and Rae were a lesbian couple in their mid 20's, a little older than Paige herself, with very young kids. The three discussed how crappy it is to break up, especially with your first love, slash first Everything. Being that Paige was just a little more than stoned, she began reminiscing about her high school days as Sarah and Kasey got back to playing their game, and Sarah continued on with her story about having a girl crush in high school. Then she said, "I wonder what she's up to", which was the perfect In for Paige to do a myspace search.
"What better way to find out then to check it out on myspace?!" she smiled, "what's her name? Is she cute?" then Paige chuckled, "would I think she's cute?" Paige, the girly girl, liked butch girls, or as she claims, Soft Butch. Kasey gave her the name of the girl she had the crush on, but as soon as the girl was found, Paige lost interest—of course the girl was a girly girl too. She looked even girlier than Paige, which is really hard to believe, and besides, she wasn't attracted to that type of girl. About 5 minutes later they all continued on with what they were doing while Paige decided to delve right into the unknown. She typed in her high school flame under People Search and began to weed out the people who weren't anything like the person she was looking for. The search started with over 100 names, but when she put in a little more information, she came up with three profiles.
Then she found it...There it was, the one person she had thought about everyday since they broke up her freshman year of college. The one person who had her heart completely, the one person who showed her that it's okay to love, and that it doesnt matter who you love, just that you do. She stared at the profile picture for a minute, letting her emotions do their dances before continuing on. She was a reserved excited, not sure if it was a good idea to continue down the unknown path—especially while high. She clicked on the picture to go to the picture albums, but there were no other pictures besides the profile picture, which was of herself and what looked to be her mom. They were both smiling.
She thought to herself, the reason we broke up was because she wasn't ready to grow up, and I wasn't ready to take care of both of us... she looked up from the computer to see how involved everybody else was in their game, then realized she was still safe to continue what she was doing—thinking about the past. If she's still like that then nothing could ever come of anything...but... she shook her head slightly, but what if she's changed...from just seeing this profile makes my heart jump, there is no way I'm over her, and I never said I was...
and with that, she hesitantly clicked on the "message me" link to write a message to this long lost person. She sat in front of the screen for a few minutes without typing anything, but then reality got the best of her and she realized that writing a message out of the blue might be weird, so she decided to check out the profile instead. She noticed that this person hadn't signed on for over 2 months, but then she scrolled down to the Status section and she read In a Relationship, and saw that her orientation was Lesbian.
Paige smiled to herself, that's a relief. She then clicked on the "view all friends" section and noticed that Marco was her friend! How did she not know this?! Oh wait, its because when she moved away from her family and friends to be with her girlfriend a year and a half ago to start a relatively new life with less drama, she forgot to keep in touch with the ones who meant the most.
Paige wasnt too sure how she got to where she's at, she just knows that after the break up she had blinders on, worked her way up the corporate ladder, got a job offer 1.25 hours further away than she already was while at Banting, buried herself in her studies, ran into Alex a year later and they talked briefly about the past but that was short lived like everything else that came Paige's way, somehow got into a relationship and viola, the rest is herstory. The passed 4 years have gone by so quickly that she hardly had time to think about the people from her past even though she did, daily. She was stronger now, or at least, she came off to people that way.
It had been over 2 years since she had spoken to anybody from high school, and she was just now realizing that it hurt, and that she missed it—she missed home. As she continued thinking to herself, she absent-mindedly clicked on another person's profile, it was of Alex's best friend. The profile picture was of the best friend who appeared to now have a baby(!) and of Alex, sitting happily at a restaurant table. The caption read, "proud mommies"
What the Fuck!? Paige choked, You're Pregnant?!
so many things were going on in Paige's head, she felt as though her head was swimming, she wished she never attempted to find this person! She wished she could erase all this new information away, she suddenly felt betrayed! She clicked faster through the photos then came upon another picture, it was of the girl she once loved, sitting on the lap of a boy! A boy?! And the caption read "happy parents" again, What the fuck! She quickly looked up from the computer only to realize that Sarah and her friends were too invested in their game to see the turmoil on Paige's face. She quickly regained her composure, shut the computer off then told everybody goodnight. She kissed Sarah lightly on the lips before heading to the bedroom. Still unsure of what she just found. As soon as she hit the pillow, her eyes released the floodgates of water and tears began streaming down her face. Instead of trying to stop them, she let them flow, for some reason it felt good to cry, to cleanse the craziness away. Or to try to understand how Alex could do that. She and Alex were so in love once, and you can't just up and find that with somebody else...much less a guy... Paige felt so confused, she fell asleep to the hurried, jumbling thoughts rushing through her head.
