READ MY AUTHOR NOTE FIRST PLEASE BEFORE GOING TO THE STORY! So... I thought Paige and Ellie would be a nice pair to explore. And with that being said, let me say that I really don't remember the LA degrassi movie too well. I only saw it once and and that's why I made this fic to be after that movie. Like... this takes place after is what i mean. Now I haven't seen season 6 yet. I have no idea who Jessie is as a chracter. And yes I could've reseachered him more, but since Ellie only talks about him in the story I think we're okay. Also what was it that paige did to marco that got him so mad? I can't remember..

Anyways, This is chapter one and it will be worked on while I continue to work on After Summer and start another fic too. Dragon: I'll have your request story up within a few days.

Ellie laid in her laid curled in a ball, as she cried softly. The redhead was having trouble breathing while her soft cries soon became sobs.

"Ellie?"

The redhead turned her head to her bedroom's door and saw Paige standing there looking worried.

"P-Paige... I'm fine. Go back to bed... Or whatever you were doing... Just go," Ellie managed to choke out.

"I'm not leaving you!" Paige said, as she came into her friend's room and closed the door behind her. "Paige..." Ellie squeaked.

"Ellie... What's wrong?" Paige questioned, as she pulled her friend into her arms for a tight hug. Ellie hugged Paige back and just continued to sob.

"JESSIE CHEATED ON ME!" Ellie screamed suddenly.

Paige's eyes went wide with shock at her friend's raised voice.

"W-What...?" Paige asked. "No..."

"WELL WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT WHEN YOU SEE YOUR BOYFRIEND KISSING SOME OTHER GIRL AT THE DOT!" Ellie yelled.

"Oh Ellie... I'm so sorry," Paige said. She gently pulled Ellie down and held her close in her arms.

"I FEEL LIKE CUTTING MYSELF AGAIN!" Ellie cried.

"NO! ELLIE NO!" Paige yelled, as she held Ellie tighter.

"I-I... I can't do this anymore! MY MOM DIED FROM CANCER AND I... I JUST CAN'T!" Ellie screamed. She tried pushing Paige off of her, but her friend wouldn't budge.

"NO! NO, NO, NO, NO!" Paige screamed back to the redhead.

Ellie struggled to try and get out of Paige's grip. Paige had always been stronger than her though.

"ELLIE! DON'T! I CAN'T LET YOU DO THIS! I CARE TOO MUCH ABOUT YOU!" Paige yelled. Ellie stopped struggling against Paige and just began to sob heavily.

Paige held Ellie until she fell asleep. Paige looked down at her friend who was now sleeping soundly in her arms.

"Oh Ellie... I promise you'll be okay. I promise," Paige whispered gently to her friend. Paige herself felt like she was going to cry. All those memroies of finding out about what Ellie had been doing to herself in high school came back to her. In the morning she'd be making sure that Ellie was okay.

It had been a year since the two were roommates again. Marco no longer kept in touch with Ellie and had never forgiven Paige. The two girls had reconneted through becoming roomates once more and found themselves being the best of freinds. Soon Paige fell asleep feeling quite taken back by her friend's emcions.

The next morning Ellie awoke feeling rather comfy and warm. She felt two arms holding her close. "Pa-Paige?" Ellie gently asked.

Paige's eyes fluttered opened and she looked down at her friend. "Morning, Ellie," Paige said.

"Morning," Ellie replied. She turned her head away from Paige and sighed deeply. "Ellie... Don't try anything," Paige said.

"I-I... I'm trying... I'm feeling very depressed. I-I... need release," Ellie sqeuaked.

"NO! NO! YOU WILL NOT CUT! YOU CAN VENT TO ME AND WE'LL GET YOU A COUNSLDER! BUT YOU WILL NOT CUT!" Paige yelled.

"I'm sorry, Paige... You're right... I'll get help," Ellie replied.

"It's alright, Ellie. It's alright. Glad you're agreeing to the help," Paige said. "Now let's eat breakfast and get ready. We've both got work today,"

Ellie nodded and then Paige released Ellie from her arms. The two friends walked downstairs together and cooked up a morning meal of bacon and eggs.

After breakfast Paige got ready to go to her new shop she had recently opened up with clothes she designed. Ellie was still editor of The Core. "Bye, Paige! I'll see you tonight," Ellie said, as she was going out the door.

"Bye, Hun! Call me if you need anything," Paige responded.

Ellie nodded and smiled, before she went out to her car. As the redhead drove to work the familiar feeling to break skin was back. Ellie pulled over and picked her cell phone up. She called Paige immediately, who was just getting ready to head out the door. When she saw it was Ellie calling she answered right away. "Ellie?"

"Paige... the feeling to cut is back... I pulled over I-I... I don't know what to do," Ellie squeaked.

"Okay take deep breaths and just try to think positive thoughts. What street are you on?"

"North road," Ellie answered.

"Okay. Don't drive anywhere. I'm coming," Paige said. "I'm putting you on speaker phone,"

Ellie began to breath in and out as tears slid down her face.

"Hurry..." Ellie said.

Paige jumped into her car and drove as fast as she could to North Road. She saw Ellie's car and parked behind it. Paige got out of her car as Ellie got out of her's.

"Come here, Sweetie," Paige said, as she opened her arms. Ellie nearly jumped into her friend's arms and began to cry.

"I'm not opening the shop this morning... And you are not going into work today either," Paige added in.

Then Paige drove Ellie home and had her on speaker, while she walked down to get her car drive herself back home. "Everything's gonna be okay. I promise," Paige said, as she laid with Ellie on the sofa.

"J-Just don't leave me..." Ellie squeaked out, as she cried.

"Never, Ellie. I will never leave you," Paige replied.
