Chapter 1: How it all starts

It had just been a few weeks after Alex quit her 'oh so fabulous' job as a stripper, and her and Paige were still going strong. Somehow Alex and her mom were able to pay their rent with many long hours of part time jobs and were able to avoid yet another eviction notice. It's not like they were living a fabulous life, but they were getting by. There was no spending room for things like clothes or fancy restaurants for Alex and her girlfriend but at least they could afford the basics like the bills and groceries. Alex's mother hadn't quite stopped drinking but she was slowing down. After Alex going through her senior year at Degrassi and Paige's first year of Banting they were just about ready to take a long and well deserved break from any forms of education. But first they had their exams.

Alex and Paige were on the floor of Paige's usually neat and tidy room. God only knows what would happen if even one pencil was not in it's rightful place. But when exam time came around its like a hurricane hit her room. Paige was lying down across the floor on her stomach with her books and random sheets of papers around her. Alex was sitting up, facing Paige's side so that she had her books on Paige's back opened so she could study it.

"UUHHHG! If I cram any more information about this business stuff into my brain my head would explode" Paige said turning away from her book and looking back at Alex, trying not to knock Alex's book off of her back.

"I know what you mean… I've got 6 exams this semester, Bio, chem., physics, accounting, English, and calculus. All of which I better do damn good on the exams or else I'm screwed." Alex said as she started to rub the lobes of her head.

"how about we take a break, I mean we've been studying for…" Paige takes the time to look down at her watch. "4 and a half hours. We could go down stairs and watch a movie or something… maybe heat up some popcorn and invite everyone else over."

"hmm. Well I agree on the break idea but as for our plans, I had something else in mind." Alex said with a little smirk on her face as she lay down next to her girlfriend. Alex had put her face as close to Paige's enough so that they weren't touching, but knew Paige couldn't resist her.

"oh. And what might that be Miss. Nunez?" Paige said with a smile, obviously knowing what Alex had in mind.

"well, it starts off with a little bit of this…" Alex said as she kissed Paige lightly on the lips. "then a little bit of this…" Alex said slowly as she kissed Paige a little harder.

"what about this?" Paige asked as she leant in to kiss Alex very passionately.

"hmm… maybe a little bit of that" Alex said as she pulled away from the kiss. Paige started to get up towards Alex, but not so much that she got to her feet or knees but enough to kiss Alex and knock the books off her back at the same time. Paige was mostly on top of Alex at this point and both sets of hands were wandering all over the bodies. Things were starting to get a little heavier as Paige's phone started to ring very loudly, her ring tone was 'I'm a barbie girl'. Paige gave out a little groan of annoyance as her lips were still connected with those of her girlfriend's.

"you're ring tone is 'I'm a Barbie girl'?" Alex asked Paige as she got up on her elboxs. Paige got up to get her cell phone that was on her desk. Paige shot back a glare knowing that Alex was going to tease her about it.

"shut up… lextacy." Paige said with a small smirk because once she said it Alex shot a look back at Paige.

"…just answer your phone" Alex said slightly annoyed. She knew it was just a joke but also knew that it would be a long time before her girlfriend stopped teasing her about her name. Paige finally got her phone and opened it up.

"hello?" Paige asked into the phone.

"oh hey hun." She said as she mouthed the name 'Marco' to Alex. Alex just went back to lying on the floor as she knew what ever Marco had to say was going to convince Paige to do something with him.

"oh yeah. I forgot about that. I'll be over to help in like 20 minutes. Kay hun, bye." Paige said as she closed her flip phone. As soon as Alex heard 'I'll be over to help in 20 minutes' she just rolled her eyes because she knew Paige couldn't resist helping Marco.

"so what did Marco want?" Alex asked as she just continued to stare at the ceiling.

"Since I'm back home this weekend for exam studying and Dylan's home on vacation, me, Dylan, Marco, and my parents are all having dinner together. Marco just needs some help with dinner." Paige said slightly afraid of what Alex had to say because she knew it interrupted her 'studying time' with Alex.

"I'm really sorry hun. I'll make it up to you later, I promise" Paige said hoping Alex would be okay with it. Alex knew that Marco was Paige's best friend and she really cared for her family, but lately it seemed like Paige was always making her friends and family a higher priority than her girlfriend.

"alright, but I'm going to hold that to you." Alex said with a smirk on her face knowing that soon enough she would get her 'studying time'. "okay well I'll get out of your hair, and just go home."

"thanks babe, I really appreciate this." Paige walked Alex to the door and kissed her goodbye just before she ran in to the kitchen to get a coffee and then to the living room to get her jacket and keys. Within 5 minutes she was out the door.

While walking home Alex couldn't help but think about her relationship with Paige. She had finally gotten the girl of her dreams and was happy about it but sometimes she felt like she was being neglected a little. I really care about her, but what if she doesn't care about me as much. Before she knew it Alex had arrived at her complex and was standing in front of her door. Well I guess I have to get this over with. Alex thought, knowing that behind that door was a totally different life from Paige's. Alex walked through the door trying to be as quiet as possible and not disturb anybody like her mom or her boyfriend. Alex turned around to shut the door quietly. As soon as she turned around she saw her mom's boyfriend, Chad, standing right in front of her.

"Shit!" Alex said startled by him. "Jesus Chad, do we have to put a bell around your neck or something? You scared the shit out of me!" Alex said taking off her coat and walking around the dirty man.

"where have you been?" Chad asked slightly angry. He always seemed angry, it didn't matter what Alex did he could never do anything to please him… not that she tried that hard anyways.

"I was studying with a friend" Alex said opening the fridge door and bending over to see if there was anything to drink. She pulled out a bottle of water and started to drink it.

"who?" he asked

"no one you know." She replied

"I'm surprised you even have friends. Well maybe if you brought your little friends home once in a while I might actually believe you."

"well maybe if you stopped beating me and my mom I wouldn't be so afraid to bring my friends over every once in a while. Anyways, like I would bring my friends here" Alex said as she looked at the living room to see it was covered with mail and beer cans, and then back at Chad.

"well maybe then you should clean it up sometime, I mean it wouldn't kill…" Chad continued on seeing that Alex was walking off to her room and closing the door. Chad got angry at first but just went to the fridge and pulled out another beer.

"damn kid" Chad said as he twisted the cap off yet another beer bottle.
