Separate: Taking Parts from a Whole
Paige looked at her watch. She was waiting. She let out a long sigh, as she ordered for another drink. She was not dealing with this, not anymore. She grabbed her drink and downed it quickly. She grabbed her phone and jacket. She paid for what she drank and called Dean.
"How was your date?" he asked as soon as he answered.
"Fun. We are going to meet up tomorrow," Paige deadpanned. She headed out the door into the cool air. She leaned against the wall, as Dean laughed. "Can you pick me up?"
Dean sobered up. "Why? What happened?"
"Nothing, absolutely nothing."
"Where are you?" He hung up after Paige gave him the directions. Paige just leaned against the wall, scaring at the street. She wondered why her date decided not to show. Was she surrounded by an energy that kept people from dating her? What was bad about her that people wanted to stay away? Maybe it was because she was scared to fall for someone, scared that if she did, they would just leave. That was why she ended relationship when she would feel something. She took a deep breath, wishing she had more to drink.
She heard a honk and looked up. She smiled softly when she saw that it was Dean. He gave her sympathetic smile, knowing that her date stood her up. He was the one she called when it happened. He knew the drill, he would pick her up, drive her home or whatever hotel she was staying at the moment, and walk her to her room. Sometimes, if she was feeling too bad, he'd stay in her room and sleep with her (literally sleep, not the other sleep. Just the thought of it grossed them out. They were too much like siblings to be anything more).
"Can you stay the night?" Paige asked, looking at him, a small frown on her face. Dean, feeling bad, nodded.
"Yeah, just let me call Brie and tell her I won't be back."
Paige's eyes widened. "You know what, it's okay. Just forget it, okay?"
Dean let out a small chuckle. "Paige, it's okay. I'm going to stay with you. Brie will understand. She knows how our friendship works."
The tips of Paige's lips curled upward a little. She looked down. "Thank you."
Dean shrugged. "No problem."
Paige grinned.
Chocolate and Red Velvet
Emma knocked on the door. She placed her finger on the peephole, wanting to surprise her boyfriend. She heard footsteps and the locked being unlocked. The doorknob started to turn, and Emma jumped into William's arms the second the door opened. She pulled him in for a quick kiss.
William smiled and kissed her back. He pulled her into the room and closed the door. "I've missed you," Emma whispered against his lips.
"I missed you too. It's so great to have you in my arms again. It's where you belong," he told her, as he led her to his bed. Emma sat down and watched as he turned the television on. Emma grabbed her phone and saw that she had no messages. "Expecting something?"
Emma nodded. "Yeah, Paige went on a date today. I'm waiting for her to tell me how it went, but she hasn't messaged me."
"She doesn't like me, does she?"
Emma looked at her boyfriend, not sure what he was talking about. "What?"
"Paige, she doesn't really like me. She only deal with me because of you."
"Th-that's not true."
"Ask her, cause I know it is."
Emma sighed. She just leaned against the mattress, when she received a message. She grabbed it and saw that it was from her best friend.
Stood up. Don't want to talk. I'll call you tomorrow.
Emma sighed, as she rubbed her face. She hated when that happened. She hated when the guys stood Paige up, because they would make her feel bad, even if Paige didn't show it.
"He never showed up," Emma muttered.
William, who was changing, looked back to Emma. "Do you want to stay with her? Stick around?"
"Yes please. We can go home Thursday morning. I just want to make sure she is going to be okay."
William nodded. "Of course. She may not like me, but she's still your best friend, she means something."
Emma reached over and pulled him onto the bed, pulling him in for a kiss.
Chocolate and Red Velvet
"So what's going to happen?" Dean asked, who was lying down next to Paige on the bed. He had called Brie earlier.
"Hey, when are you coming back?" Brie asked from her hotel room. Dean looked up to see the restroom light still on and he could hear the shower on. He could hear the smile on Brie's face.
"I'm not. Paige's date stood her up, and she doesn't want to stay alone. So I'm going to sleep over, is that okay?"
"Of course," Brie responded without hesitation.
"Thanks Brie. I'll make it up to you, I promise."
"I know you will. Goodnight, take care of her. And I love you Dean."
"I love you too," Dean whispered, before hanging up. He placed his phone on the nightstand and prepared the bed for their night. The door soon opened and Paige walked out. Dean gave her a small smile and patted the side of the bed for her.
"I'm done," Paige whispered, staring at the ceiling.
"Done?"
Paige let out a sigh. "This is the sixth I've been stood up. And I don't think I can deal with more. So I'm done, with guys, with dating, with love. It's not worth it, not anymore."
"Paige—"
"Goodnight Dean." She turned over, her back to him. He sighed, wishing he could change the idea.
He was just like her, but different. He was never stood up, but he didn't believe in love. He didn't believe in finding someone who could light up his world. He didn't believe in having a happy ending. He'd just have one-night stands. He'd just hook up. But then he met Brie. Seth had been dating Nikki but then. And he had become friends with the two. But after a while, something changed. And Brie became enough for him. She became his rock when things became crazy.
He decided to try again when it was morning, and the hurt had softened a little. He was going to try again.
Chocolate and Red Velvet
"She's done," Dean said, as he sat down in a booth with his friends. Seth, Nikki, Brie, Roman, Summer, and Emma were all there. Paige was gone when Dean woke up the next morning. He called and texted her, but she didn't respond. He checked her Twitter, Instagram, but there was nothing there that told him where she was.
"She doesn't need a guy," Nikki said, frowning. Paige was still twenty-one, she still had a lot of time to fid someone to settle down with. In a way, she didn't see what the bad thing was.
"It's not that. It's just, all of it has become too much for her. How would you feel if you were hurt, if you were scared?" Dean asked the older Bella. Nikki sighed and looked away, kind of getting it.
"Let me talk to her," Emma offered, looking at her friends.
Dean and Seth looked at each other, before nodding. "Hopefully you can get through to her."
Emma nodded. She really hoped so. She looked at her phone, to see what time it was. She assumed that Paige should be back at her hotel room. She told her friends that she was going to check on Paige.
She headed to her hotel room, and knocked on the door. She placed her ear against the door, as she tried to listen for movement. She moved back when she did. She knocked on the door again. "Pai! Open up, I know you're in there. I'm not leaving until you do!"
She grinned when she heard the door unlock. She just strolled inside, and sat down on the bed. "You were supposed to call me this morning."
Paige started to shove things into her bag, getting ready to go to the airport to head home. She wasn't looking at Emma.
"Why didn't you call me?"
"It slipped my mind," she said, gritting her teeth together.
"Why is this bothering you so much? It never did before, why now Paige?"
The Brit glared at Emma. "Because I'm tired. Why should I feel like this? Why should I have to deal with this?"
Emma sighed, not knowing what to say. She looked up at her best friend. "Talk to me. What's going on Paige."
The twenty-one year old sighed and sat down on the bed. "I-I've been stood up six times. And each time makes me feel like I'm not worth being loved. Each time hurts worse than the last. And I'm just taking a break. I'm not going to date, or try to find someone."
"So you aren't giving up?"
"No. I was just too hurt last night. But I'm just taking a break. I'm just going to deal with my shit first, before I do anything."
Emma nodded, understanding. She decided to change the subject. "Will told me something last night, and I want you to give me an honest answer."
Paige frowned and looked a Emma, wondering what she wanted to know.
"He told me that you didn't like him, that's not true right? I mean, you don't hate him or anything, right?"
Paige took in a deep breath before answering. She didn't say anything. How would she tell her best friend that she didn't like her boyfriend? Paige looked at the ground.
"Paige, do you like him?"
"I-I don't think he's good enough for you," Paige whispered, not looking at her best friend.
"What?" Emma asked, a bit of anger in her voice. "What do you mean he's not good enough for me?"
"I mean that. You can do so much better. He's going to hurt you Emma. I don't think you should be with him."
"What do you know?"
"You asked! You wanted me to be honest! I'm being honest!"
Emma stood up, feeling defensive. "So what Paige? What?"
Paige ran her hand through her hair. She could feel herself get tensed up. "You shouldn't be with him. He's going to hurt you in the end Emma! You shouldn't be with someone who will hurt you!"
"What like you?"
"No, Emma."
"What are you doing now?"
"I'm trying to protect you!" Paige shouted, not wanting to fight with Emma. She had never had a argument with her.
"How? To be alone like you? To be worthless? Is that how you protect me? To make me like you?"
Paige looked at her, not believing she said. Her eyes filled with tears. She grabbed her bags. She used her arm to wipe her tears. She looked at Emma.
"Paige," she whispered, seeing the hurt look on her face. She knew she had gone too far, and regretting. "I'm—"
"No, my worthless self doesn't deserve your apologize," Paige snapped, her voice filled with hurt. She took a step back. "Enjoy your relationship with William."
She then stormed out. Emma sighed, and rubbed her face, not believing what she had just said.
Chocolate and Red Velvet
Emma headed to her hotel room, tears in her eyes. She opened her door and walked inside. "Paige and I had a fight," she told William, who she assumed was there. She looked over to the bed they shared, and froze. "Wi-William."
William looked at her, his eyes wide. He was naked, on the bed. There was a woman, who was also naked. He pushed the woman away and covered himself. "Emma, what are you doing here?"
"I wanted to be with my boyfriend, because I had a fight with Paige over you. And this is what I come home to? This is the boyfriend I defended?"
William sat up. "Emma, please, listen!"
The Australian shook her head. "No. Look, I might have lost my best friend because of you. You can go to hell William. We're over!" She just turned and stormed off.
Chocolate and Red
Emma knocked on the door. Her tears blurred her eyesight. The door opened, and she was able to let go and cry. She was wrapped into a hug and pulled into the hotel room.
"What happened?" Seth asked, while Nikki went to get her some water.
"P-Paige, we had a fight. Will, h-he cheated on me," Emma choked out, her tears streaming down her face. Seth didn't respond, he just held her as she cried.
"It's going to be okay. I'll be here. You'll fix things up with Paige, I promise," Seth told her. Emma just sighed, smiling at Nikki who handed her the water.
She hoped she would be able to fix things with Paige. She really needed her best friend with her.
Don't worry, Paige and Emma will make up, and they'll get revenge on William. Hope you guys liked this chapter. And review and I will see you guys in two days. Until then nerds. –LK
