A/N: I know it's a blast from the past, but I have rematched all of season 1. Since I re-watched the season I have been inspired to write this alternate ending to the finale. It is a short and slightly fluffy piece. I also want to bring something to the attention of many fans! In the beginning of the show there were 7 members in the house: Paige, Charlie, Briggs, Johnny, Jakes, Donnie, and Lauren; then Donnie got shot, so it was still seven, only now it was Mike instead of Donnie. That would mean that with Zolanski there should be enough room, because when Lauren was still there there were seven occupied rooms and now that she was gone there would be 6 occupied rooms and 1 empty room. Just saying!

He kissed her! Mike had finally acted on what he wanted to do for so long! And then she had to go and think on him! She had said "believe me there is a version of this I want... But you're lost, Mike, and I'm not the answer" and that's where she was wrong, because she was exactly that. She was the answer, he put himself into Briggs's shoes, what he would do if he were Paul, and then he thought what if Paige was Lisa and she had died in that house fire, what the hell would he do? And it hit him, He would do what it takes to make whoever made her suffer pay, he would do what Briggs is doing. So when he saw she was walking out the door he had to stop her. When he did he looked her straight in the eyes and finally got the courage to say it.

"That's the thing, I normally wouldn't say you're wrong because you almost never are, but right now that's exactly what you are."

"Excuse me?"

"You are the answer, don't you see?" She gives him a confused smile and tilted her head and in return he gave her a goofy smile. "Paige, if it weren't for you I wouldn't know what Briggs is doing, and do you know how I know?" She shakes her head "because I was thinking what would I do if I were Briggs and then I thought of you and I just knew, so you can say that in just in the moment, but let's face it you are the reason I know what to do you, and it just took me to realize it." She kisses him and when they break for air they're showing matching goofy smiles.

when they go to kiss again Johnny walks by to ruin the moment. "See I knew y'all were hooking up and y'all tried to deny it, hmm Charlie owes me 20 bucks." They tried to tell him that he had it wrong but he interrupted them "why didn't y'all just tell us damn! I love when I'm right"

as he walked away they still looked at each other with the same smiles.
