Hello, this is a very short Paily story. I have written this a while ago, before season five, probably not long after Paige finds out about Alison being alive. ( I just found the paper I've written this on ^^). Enjoy

What about now? It will change everything won't it? I mean how can I compete against such a woman? Of course Emily never stopped loving her! Am I scared that Alison is back? Yes. Will she bully me again? No, I wouldn't let that happen, but she can hurt me way more than bullying, she can take away from me the only thing that holds me still, she can take my angel, the love of my life. She can destroy me again, but there is nothing I can do about it. Just thinking about it brings tears to my eyes, I just can't imagine a life without Emily.

The door bell rings, I don't even bother to go down and open the door, I don't care, my world is tumbling down! I was lying on my bed, tears rolling down my cheeks, when I heard a knock on my bedroom door. I sat down but said nothing, I wasn't hungry and I didn't want to be in anyone's company. I was just hoping my mum would believe I'm asleep and let it go, but there is another knock. "I'm not hungry, mom" I say struggling to hide that I have been crying.

"Paige, it's me!" I immediately recognize Emily's voice. What is she doing here?

I quickly wipe my tears and stand up to open the door, holding myself straighter than usual to try and hide my emotions.

The moment I open the door Emily beams at me, a smile that I can't mirror. She then tries to kiss me, but I stop her, I don't want to be substitute to someone else's love. Emily is obviously hurt, but mostly concerned.

"Paige what's wrong? Did you have a fight with your dad again?"

"I haven't seen my dad in a week" I reply sternly

"Them what is it? You haven't answered any of my texts, I tried to call, but all I had is silence." She stops for a while but when she realises I am not going to talk, she becomes a bit frustrated. "Paige, I am not a mind reader! You need to help me there if you want me to help you"

I open my mouth to start talking but no sound comes out of it. I could feel my walls breaking down, I can't be strong in front of her, not when she is looking at me like that, not when I am feeling like that.

I sit down on my bed hiding my face in my hands as the first tears starts rolling down my cheeks. Emily kneels down in front of me, and removes my hands from my face before wiping the tears.

"Paige…" she begged "Give me something, one word, I don't know, I hate seeing you like this"

I feel a wave of courage and whisper through my tears the only words I could manage to say "Alison".

I see the realisation come through Emily's mind, but I wasn't expecting what happened next. Before I could realise it, her lips were on mine. It didn't last long, but it was intense and comforting at the same time. "Paige, I love you and only you! Yes I loved Ali but that was years ago, she is not who she was and luckily I am not the person I was back then, and the person that I am now loves you! Okay?"

"Okay" I say, smiling for the first time tonight, she then leans in to kiss me again, but this time I didn't let her go that easily.
