No one's Pov
Lauren gasped again when she saw the ring. She wiped the few tears she let escape. Paige and Josh stood there smiling, Josh put his arm around Paige and gave her a side hug. The ladies were amazed. Terese put on a fake smile and you could see the bitterness in her eyes.
"Yes" Lauren choked out. Brad's eyebrows shot to his hair line and he put the ring on her finger, picked her up and spun her around, then kissing her passionately
"I'm happy for them." Terese forced out when all the women looked at her. Everyone then clapped for Brad and Lauren.
"I couldn't be happier!" Paige smiled. Terese looked at her.
"Same. We should let them have a moment." Josh said. All the ladies agreed and they all left but Paige and Josh sat on the couch.
"Do you think Terese is alright?" Paige asked Josh
I think so. She was said she was alright. Maybe she's finally moved on."
"Yeah maybe ." Just then Brad and Lauren walked inside hand in hand.
"Mum!" Paige hugged Lauren and her and Josh congratulated them.
"We did it dad!" Paige laughed as she hugged Brad
"Should've known you were in on this!" Lauren chuckled.
"Well we'll leave you guys. I've got a shift at Harold's in 15 minutes anyway."
"Okay I'll walk you there." Josh suggested
"Alright. Congrats guys!" Paige yelled, walking out
"I love you." Lauren said
"I love you too." Brad answered, kissing her, trying to put all his emotions and love into the kiss.
Paige's POV
"I'm glad Mum and Dad are happy." I said
"Yeah. These past months has been the happiest he's been for ages." I smiled. Josh's phone started to ring. Kyle.
"G'day mate. Could you accept the delivery at Dial-A-Kyle. Me and Ames are stuck in traffic coming back from a job.
"Ah yeah sure mate."
"Lifesaver dude." Josh laughed and hung up.
"I've got to pick up a delivery up for Kyle. See ya later."
"See ya Josh!" He went the other way and I walked into the complex. It was like a ghost town. Everyone was probably in the waterhole because I heard loud music coming from there. I checked the time 5:47. My shift didn't start for 10 minutes or so. I thought I should go for a walk around the lake or share mum and dad's news when I felt a sharp pain at the back if my head. I dropped to the ground. Darkness consumed me.
An hour later
Lauren's Pov
Ring Ring Ring Ring. You've reached Lauren leave a message
"We should get up. I have to make dinner." I said unconvincingly.
"Nonsense. We'll just get take away." Brad answered, sticking his head into my neck.
Ring Ring
"Where's my phone?" I asked Brad. He shrugged and I saw it flashing on the floor so I picked it up.
"Hello?" I answered
"Margie. Hi."
"Paige? She left a while ago."
"Ah okay." I furrowed my brows. " Just close up in half an hour. Thanks." I hung up.
"What happened?" Brad asked
"Paige hasn't turned up for her shift. I'm going to call her."
" No. She's probably with Mark or something after all this. Leave her." I felt unsure and Brad noticed, he got out of bed and pulled me up gently. " Come on get dressed, we're going to the water to show everyone our new relationship status!"
"Ahh... Alright. Give me a second." Brad laughed as I caved in.
Paige's Pov
I felt a throbbing pain at the back of my bed and instinctively tried to put my hand to where the pain was coming from, only yo realise that I couldn't move my arms. My eyes flew open. I scanned my surroundings. The men's shed? I looked down. My whole body was tied down.."
