Author's Note: Okay so I know this was short but I have homework and softball practice so this is what I could do... So here is chapter to hope you enjoy! :)

I wake up and everything looks blurry out of my right eye. It's morning already. I know I'm still in the living room. I try to stand up but everything hurts too much. I try to gather up all the strength I have and get up off the floor. I crawl my way upstairs to my room and begin to get ready for school. My head was pounding. I went into the bathroom to look at myself. What was I thinking telling my dad that I'm gay… I should have seen this coming. My right eye is purple. I have a cut on my cheek. I lift up my shirt and there is a huge blue and purple bruise. I shake my head and grab some pain killers. I grab some sunglasses to cover up my eyes. It is spring nothing wrong about trying to keep the sun out of my eyes on a sunny day.I grab my backpack and leave. I take my bike from the back of the house and begin pedaling to school.

When I finally make it to the school I chain my bike up and walk to my locker. Out of the corner of my eye I can see Emily walking towards me.

"Hey Paige… nice sunglasses… Is everything okay I didn't see you at practice this morning." Emily asks curiously. I curse myself out internally I totally forgot about swim practice. Emily gives me a smile but I can see the concern in her eyes.

"I'm fine… I woke up late this morning no biggie." I reassure her. I give her a smile then walk away.

I walk into my first period class that I just so happen to have with Emily and her friends. I find a seat all the way in the back of the classroom and sit hoping no one would notice me. The bell rings as students start filing into their classes. I can tell Emily is looking at me but I just look away. I'm not meaning to be rude to her it's just that I can't let her see me like this.

Just as the late bell rings walks into the classroom. He is a cool teacher and all, but he looks pretty young to be a High School teacher. begins his lesson and I just drift off into my own thoughts. I think about what is going to happen with Emily and I. There is no way that my dad is going to let Emily come over. I want to be with Emily so much but then my dad will get mad and then there will be a repeat of last night. What can't I just be happy? That is all I want. To be happy and to be with Emily. I know I'm only in high school and that their are plenty of other girls but I love Emily and I think we can go a long way together. After all Our love is strong. Even though we haven't said those words to each other yet but we can feel it and after we almost had sex last night I think that I actually might say it to her and to surprise her I'll ask her to be my girlfriend in front of the whole school. She will love it. I don't want to go home straight after school. Maybe I could just go to Emily's house from now on and tell my dad that I practicing instead. When I come back from my thoughts I see everyone looking at me and I look at .

"Paige can you please take off your sunglasses we are inside." crosses his hand in front of him. I roll my eyes.

"Sure." I say kind annoyed. I take off the sunglasses and everyone gasps. I look at Emily and I can she is worried. I look away and try in hide my face.

"Thank You… Okay back to Romeo and Juliet." says trying to get all of the attention off of me. I pull out my phone and text Emily.

I'm fine Emily… Just had a bike accident that's all no need to worry.- P

I look up at Emily and see her texting back a reply. My phone vibrates.

Okay…Are you sure it looks serious?... Do you want to come over today?-Em

I smile at her concern. God I love this girl.

I'm fine… and yeah I'll come over at 3:00.-P

She replies quickly.

Okay… can't wait to see you! :* J-P

The class bell rings and I run out of there. No need for anyone else asking what happened. I have to tell my coach I will be out of swimming for a few days. I go to the closest bathroom and lift up my shirt. The bruises got worst it is a dark purple almost black. I hope I didn't break a rib or anything the first meet is in a 2 weeks. Then Hanna Marin walks into the bathroom. I pull my shirt down.

"Oh my god Paige… What the hell happened to you?" Hanna yells. She lifts my shirt up to look at it. Hanna and I aren't really friends but we have an understanding after everything that happened with Alison. She is the only one who knows about Emily and I being a couple after she caught us making out in Emily's car one time.

"Hanna it's no big deal okay… I just fell off my bike." I say not making eye contact with her.

"Bullshit… What happened Paige… Who did this to you?!" Hanna yells. I have never seen her so worried or angry. I have to tell her she already knows I'm lying.

"My dad did this, the eye and the cut too… He caught Emily and I making out half naked in my room and ordered her to leave… after I closed the door I told I am gay and he just freaked out on me." I start to cry. Hanna hugs me and I just hold onto her. After a few minutes Hanna let's go of me.

"You have to tell Emily." Hanna says as she wipes the tears on my cheeks away.

"I can't... she will feel like it is her fault… you can't tell her Hanna.. promise you won't tell her." I beg her.

"Fine I won't tell her but if this happens again you have to tell her or I will." Hanna says in a serious tone. I nod my head in understanding we get I wipe away my tears. Right before Hanna walks out of the bathroom she stops and turns to me.

"Paige you and I are friends even if it doesn't seem like it… I am and I'm here if you need me." She smiles at me and leaves the bathroom.

I smile to myself ad clean myself up. I grab my bag and leave the bathroom feeling a lot better.
