Disclaimer: I, unfortunately don't own Scorpion. Or the wonderful song that this is loosely based on. If you haven't heard it already, I highly recommend listening to "The Day Before You" by Rascal Flatts.

THE DAY BEFORE YOU
Paige
I had all but given up on finding true love by now. Walter wasn't giving me any reason to keep waiting around for him, so I reluctantly decided to go to Tahoe with Tim. But the whole time we were driving, I couldn't stop thinking about Walter. Tim's a nice guy, but he's just not Walter. I don't want to settle for less than love, but at this rate, I may end up settling for Tim.
Little did I know, Walter realized his mistake in letting me walk away. He drove the whole way to Tahoe to talk to me.
Walter
Where is she? She has to be around here somewhere, she didn't leave that much earlier than I did. I must look like I'm crazy, walking around this hotel in hopes of finding her. I hope she's not with Tim. I walk to the lobby to think. As I turn the corner, I see her. And she's alone.
"Paige, can we talk?"
She jumped, clearly not expecting me to be here. She leads me over to a table where we can sit and talk.
"Paige, I messed up in letting you walk away. I love you, I have for a while now. I didn't know how to process these feelings I have for you and they scared me. But not anymore. Toby made me realize what I was missing out on, and I don't want to lose you."
She looked at me and smiled. There were tears starting to build in her eyes.
"Walter, I love you too" She threw her arms around my neck and hugged me. I couldn't wait any longer, I had to kiss her.
Paige
Walter O'Brien loves me. And the way he kissed me was breathtaking. I never wanted to be here with Tim anyway.
"Walter, can I tell you something? I never wanted to be here with Tim. He realized this and went back to LA. I only agreed to come with him to make you jealous. I only want to be here with you. I love you."
"Paige, letting you go was one of the biggest mistakes in my life. But I'm glad I'm here now. I'm never going to let you walk away again. I wanted to ask you to come here with me, but I was scared. Do you want to spend the weekend here, with me?"
"Yes, I would like that." He smiled and we kissed again.
Paige, the next morning
Now that he's here with me, everything's changing. Change can be good. Suddenly, life means so much more. I have two wonderful men in my life that love me, Walter and Ralph, and I would do anything for them. I never have to go back to hiding my feelings for Walter, and for that, I'm grateful. When I look into his eyes, I see a future full of happiness that I didn't use to believe was possible. I don't even know what I was thinking when I was with Drew, that wasn't true love at all. This connection I have with Walter is magical, and it can only grow stronger. If all of those years I spent alone with Ralph were leading up to meeting Walter, I'd relive them in a heartbeat.
I can't wait to wake up in his arms and love him. The way he makes me feel is indescribable, every time he looks at me, his eyes are full of love. I know this relationship just started, but I think we could be soulmates. All I know for sure is that I never have to go back to the day before Walter O'Brien said he loved me.
