A/N: Well WriterFreak001 asked me for Walter's point of view so I went with it. Warning, this is a bit of jumble of ideas I threw together of how I thought he was feeling so it may be a bit unorganized I tried to keep it in sync with Paige's story.
"You're on a cliff's edge, one wrong move and you fall 300 feet." Happy's voice says into my phone. My phone is pressed against my ear and all I do is grunt. I sit in the most uncomfortable position, my legs are squashed together and my body is pressed against the window pain. Outside of the window I see the cliff that my car is near rolling off of, the sun blurs my vision as I squint. I'm tempted to move but I remember Happy's words "One wrong move and you fall 300 feet." It keeps repeating through my head so I stay still. There is too much I have to live for and too much I want to live for. Well actually there's only one thing. Her. Paige. As much as I dread to admit it she is right, love isn't junk science, it's real and I know that because I am in love with her. Though I will fear admitting it to her as I fear she will not reciprocate my feelings. I feel the car rock and my phone is thrown away from my ear as I am flung to other side of the car, my chest burns and I hear a crack, my ribs I silently think to myself. Then I here a scream, her scream "Walter! Noooooooo!"
"Paige." I croak, though I know she can not hear me.
It must mean something, I mean that fact that she is here, and the fact that she is worried concerned for my safety. Then I remember our argument about Ralph, about Maine and about Drew. I remember the horrible things I said to her "Is it so bad being me? Being around me?" And the response she gave that broke my heart. "I just don't want him to become you!" The rest of our fight remains blurred in my head as I try not to think of it, maybe Paige is just concerned as my friend. Maybe I'm over complicating things as usual. I here my phone ringing from the floor of the car, I'm tempted to reach from it when I see it's Happy who's calling again. But I remain still I don't want to know how unlikely my survival is in this situation, all I want right now is her though I fear I've strained our relationship to far as she will never want to speak to me again. Even if the team saves me I fear Paige will still leave and I will be alone. So I don't pick up the phone instead my automated voice mail message comes through. I expect hear Happy's voice leaving a message but I don't I hear Paige. "Walter! It's me Paige, I'm sorry about our argument last night, I'm not moving to Portland because..." I think her message has ended maybe the phone died but then I hear her voice again it has a certain desperate sound to it as if she is terrified of what she is saying "I love you." I've been in the same tense position for twelve hours but her words make me freeze up even more than before. I want to pick up the phone dial her number and tell her I love her too apologize to her too but I can't. My body is so tired, ever so tired and my eyelids feel heavy. I blink a few times and stare out the window of my car before everything fades to black.
