Note: Yup, still don't own Degrassi. And I know what you're thinking "another short one?" Well shouldn't it be about quality and not quantity…at least I hope I'm living up to the quality part.
Oh and thank you for those who reviewed. Enjoy!
CHAPTER 2
Alex gazed out the bus window replaying in her mind the encounter that had taken place just a few short hours ago.
"I came here to surprise you." The look of pain and anger that resonated on Paige's face when she uttered those words was forever burned in her memory. That image prompted Alex to begin to wipe away tears that had yet to fall, and to quickly start fidgeting with her bag in an attempt to avoid a complete breakdown in front of a dozen strangers.
As she got closer and closer to her destination, Alex had but one thought running through her mind,"I know I should let her cool off, she's hurt, and probably livid at this point, but I have to talk to her. I have to explain before it's too late…if it isn't already."
With each passing minute, Alex grew more and more anxious, worrying about what she was going to say, and incredibly nervous about the outcome. She was unsure if she would be able to come up with a good enough explanation; of course her reasons made complete sense, but Alex knew there was a good chance Paige won't accept it.
It was at that moment, that despite everything they had in common, and how much they made each other better and happier, Alex realized how different they were. Paige had different standards, different views as to what was acceptable conduct for people; and taking one's clothes off for money was certainly not one of them, no matter what the reason behind it. All Alex could do was just hope that deep down Paige cared enough for her to at least try and understand.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the bus arrived at Alex's desired stop. Alex grabbed her bag slinging it over her shoulder; she exited the bus avoiding eye contact with anyone in her path. Having a few blocks to walk before reaching Paige's house, Alex used the time for further introspection, meticulously piecing together everything she wanted to say, taking into account what would make Paige the least upset or angry.
Alex reached the house stopping a moment before heading towards the door. She took a deep breath in a feeble effort to compose herself before knocking. As the sound of the wood against her knuckles echoed in her head, everything Alex had thought of saying fell away.
