"Paige! Wait!" Alex said grabbing the blondes wrist and pulling her to a stop. "It didn't mean anything."
"Oh really? Just innocent friends, is that what that was?" With each word Paige's voice rose, and by the end people were stopped in the hallway staring at the two of them. "Is that what I am, Alex? Am I just another one of your 'means-nothing-conquests' Like a joke to see if you could fuck the straightest girl in school."
There were more than a few shocked gasps at the last part. Everyone has heard that Alex and Paige had begun dating, but some people still thought it might be a joke. They were obviously mistaken.
"Is that what you think! Hello, this means more to me than you know, Paige. You're..." Alex sighed, her arms falling helplessly to her sides. "You're like in my head. I think about you all of the time! I miss you when you're gone, and I wonder what you're doing and..and..I don't exactly let people in! Especially people I've more or less been sworn enemies with for four years! How could you think I was just trying to get in your pants?"
"I'm sorry, Alex. It's just you don't have the best reput-"
"You shouldn't care!" Alex was screaming again, right up in Paige's face.
"You're right." She sighed, taking a step away from the other girl and attempting to calm down. "But...I do. People say things for a reason. The rumors have to come from somewhere"
"And what about you, huh?" The brunette wasn't going to let this go.
"What are you talking about?"
"You aren't exactly little Miss Innocent in the Roomer Mill, Paige."
"Whatever, Alex." Paige snarled, her eyes shinning with lust and pain. Fighting always got her worked up in more ways than one, and she had to admit that Angry Alex was about the sexiest thing she'd ever seen.
"Right." Alex scoffed. "I know when people are using me. I'm perfect for a little 'sexual experimentation.'"
"That's not true! I..I lo--" Paige was suddenly fighting back tears. "I care about you!"
"That's a first." Ales muttered, eyes glued to the floor.
"Other people care about you too. Ellie, and Jay and--" Paige reached out for Alex's hand.
"Don't need the list." Alex glared at her, pulling her hand away like she'd been burned by acid.
"No you don't," Paige stated calmly, stepping up to Alex and demandingly lacing their fingers together. She looked directly into Alex's eyes, hoping the other girl would see the love and worry in them. "The list doesn't matter, because it stops at me. I love you, Alex."
An audible gulp slipped down Alex's throat as she pulled Paige into her arms, squeezing her for all she was worth. Paige was her anchor and if she let go she'd just up and float away from this earth. Surprisingly, she didn't want that anymore. She wanted to stay here, to be with Paige.
"I love you back."
