Chap.7

Art love

"Hey you made it" Shana smiled at her.

"Why would I stand you up?" she said giving Shana a half smile.

They walked next to each other. Paige was eyeing everything, she had never been to an art event and she wasn't disappointed. The whole block on Mission Street was closed down, on the sidewalks all the different artist had their stands or booths with their art work carefully displayed on tables, against walls, and hanging from strings. There was a live band playing, people were going back and forward, it was super crowded due to Halloween events that were being held as well. It almost felt like a carnival to Paige, all that was missing was cotton candy, which she later found out that they had too. Shana stopped at her booth, where Paige recognized some of her classmates.

They said hi and then she saw one amazing piece, it seemed like the artist used spray paint, and a piece of flat wood was used instead of a new frame. There was a girl wearing a gas mask on it, her body was made of smoke or was the smoke covering her body? She had a black gas mask covering her nose and lips, leaving only her eyes exposed. The eyes of the girl in the painting reflected pain; it was almost as if she was begging for help from the smoke that had trapped her. The colors were used just right, they gave the illusion that you were on ecstasy with the multicolor effect, when in reality only blue, magenta, red, and purple were used.

"You like it?" the girl pointed out.

"Yes, it's beautiful." Paige was excited about this whole art walk, but this painting in particular seemed to speak to her. She felt that she could relate to it.

"It's yours then." the girl said walking toward the painting, picked it up, and she held it out to Paige
"Here take it."

"W-what? No! I mean at least I should pay for it, it must have taken the artist a very long time?"

"I am the artist, and I insist you take it, please. It seems like you are connected to my painting, more so than someone who's gonna pay for it without understanding the message as you have" Shana gave her a bright smile that Paige couldn't resist took the paint and thanked her for the gesture.

"Come on, I'm gonna show you around." she grabbed Paige's hands. Paige felt how soft Shana's hands were, and she saw that her nails were painted purple. it felt strange. She gave her a tour, and Paige loved every single moment of it. She liked art and had never thought about how art could describe emotions.

It was around 10pm and the art walk was almost over. Shana had offered to walk Paige to her car, but when she was about to leave, Paige felt how Shana grabbed her free hand to pulled her closer.

Shana's hands wrapped themselves around her waist, their eyes locked, and something in Paige was telling her to stop and yet another was telling her to ignoring the voice. The girl bit her lips and finally decided to lean in for a kiss, Paige didn't move, feeling Shana's soft lips on her, she thought of the kiss she shared with Emily and couldn't help but compare them. That one was different, it had been painful yet she wanted more of Emily after that kiss, but she could never have her because Emily loved another.

Paige moved her lips, telling Shana that it was ok. She wasn't sure why she did it, but at the moment all she wanted was just to get lost. Paige broke the kiss and looked at Shana. She still had her eyes still closed, she couldn't deny that the girl was pretty, but she realized that it wasn't fair for her. She felt guilty now, for trying to forget Emily with her, for using her like that.

"I'm sorry, I can't do this. I mean you're beautiful but" she was cut off.

"But you like Emily fields. I know, I've known not because of the portrait but because of the way you look at her when you two hang out. I've liked you since the first day we had class together, I thought you and her were eventually going to get together but she's back with Jenna, all I'm saying is take a chance, it might surprise you, like today." Shana leaned in for a quick peck

"Just, think about it."and she walked away leaving a very confused Paige standing with no direction.

She parked in front of her drive way, not knowing what step she should take next. She wants to make the right decision, but nothing seems right. Closing the door, she sees Emily outside, on Hanna's porch, saying goodbye to her best friend. Paige quickly made her way inside, but when she heard a familiar voice calling her name, she turns to face Emily.

It seems like she has been crying, her eyes are red and swollen. Paige wants to do nothing but hug and protect her. She walks towards Emily who seems to debate on what to say next.

"What's up?" She says trying to act casual. She puts her hand inside her jacket's pocket while the other one holds the gift Shana gave her.

"I called you." Emily looks away then back up to face her again while crossing her arms around herself. The way she said "YOU" made it seem as a hint, but to what? Paige has no clue what it means.

"Oh" she takes out her iPhone from her front jeans pocket and checks "My phone was on silent, and the loud music didn't help." She says placing her phone back to where she keeps it.

She couldn't help but admire how beautiful Emily is. Her wavy hair, her Brown eyes, those lips that cut her chest when she speaks, so different from shana, so different from anyone she had ever met before, so different yet forbidden. She knows that there is no chance of anything other than friendship. Emily said she loved her girlfriend. Those thoughts made Paige sad, she was upset now.

"I see. Look I won't take much of your time, but Spencer is having a Halloween party and she asked me to tell you that she would like it if you and Selene could come." she pulls out a piece of paper from her purse giving the paper to Paige.

There's an electricity shock sent through Paige's body when their fingers touch, and it seems that Emily felt it too because she instantly pulls her hand away and places it inside her jacket's pocket. Paige feeling disappointed decides it best to just get inside the house.

"Hmm thanks, Good night" She clears her throat before she turns her back, she feels two arms being slid around her waist. Her heart is beating faster and then she feels Emily's head on her right shoulder. She can feel the girl's heavy breathing on her ear, but what is getting to her is that she can feel Emily's body pressed against her back. All she wants to do is turn around and kiss her but she's not sure how to react, she doesn't want to embarrass herself again, or feel rejected again. Why is this happening? Someone who claims to want just friendship does not do this type of things.

"Emily w-what are you doing?" she stays still waiting for an answer, but all she hears is a car driven by her street.

"I don't know. I just, I just wanna feel you close. I can't explain it, just please, please, stay here." Emily whispers these words to her and she truly wants to understand the girl's actions. She wants answers but all she does is stay there in the night's silence, secretly wishing for the courage to turn around and kiss Emily, to take her to her room and love her unconditionally. But how can't she loved her when her heart is taken? you either go do or don't take changes, there is no maybe there no in between, there is no...fuck it all.

Paige gains the courage to turn and look at Emily's eyes, those broken brown eyes, why was she crying? She takes Emily's hand, she didn't protest either, both of them afraid to speak, again silence is all there is between them, and that feels right. They start walking towards her house.
