A/N Ok so I decided to extend is story. I realized this want one of my best works so I'm trying again. if you or someone you know is suffering from an eating disorder please contact somebody. This is nothing to joke about. Thank you. I do not own scorpion.
It's been a few months since Paige's incident. She was doing better, she went to group therapy meetings, sometimes consulted Toby, and many other times, just say what she was feeling. And of course Walter was helping her. He already felt awful for not noticing it for the first time. Any time she felt insecure or not beautiful, Walter made it his goal to prove her wrong. He would physically prove to her by kissing, hugging, and whispering to her. He was positively the best boyfriend ever, at least in Paige's opinion. He also made sure Paige ate everyday, and after going to the gym (which did happen a few more times) he made sure she replenished her energy.
Paige herself felt better knowing that Walter was going to be with her through this. Even thoughts she wasn't the easiest person to deal with, She was happy he was supporting her, it wasn't easy for him, but she still loved that he was making an effort.
Drew came to the garage around the garage a few times a month to help out with Ralph. He was trying to establish a relationship with his son while trying to make it up to his mother. And the best way he thought of helping out was giving Paige a few nights off every month. Drew was happy that Paige was happy with Walter. Even though he had mixed feeling for the guy, he was good to Paige.
Both Paige and Drew were simply talking about basic stuff when Drews phone beeped and he had to go with Ralph. He helped gather Ralph's things while talking with Paige, "Wow Paige you look really good, have you lost weight?"
"No not really, but thank you." Paige responded. It was the first time in months that someone mentioned her weight in a good way. As he was leaving Paige kissed Ralph's head and was about to kiss Dew on the cheek, but he quickly turned around and she ended up kissing him on the lips. Paige and Drew both quickly pulled back and apologized to each other, then Drew left. Paige turned around to see Walter standing there with a hurt expression. She looked at him in an apologetic manner and said,
" It's not what it looked like..."
He simply responded with an emotionless "OK" and then turned around.
"Walter lets just talk about this." Said Paige as Walter ignored her.
"There is nothing to talk about here." Said Walter as he again avoided eye contact with her. He was mad that she kissed Drew.
"Yes there is Walter, it was an accident, he just complimented me in a really nice manner, and all I was going to do is kiss him on the cheek, nut he suddenly turned and I landed on his lips. Nothing else, you know I wouldn't betray you like that!" Exclaimed Paige. She too was frustrated with how Walter was behaving.
"Well I don't know Paige, you've lied to me before. And why would you kiss him in the first place if all he did was compliment you." He yelled. Paige knew what he getting at, she just hoped he wouldn't say anything stupid.
"He complimented me on my figure, she said I looked good, which made me feel so happy, and I just wanted to say thank you in a special way, since I don't hear it a lot. Look Walter it was an accident, even Drew will tell you it was an accident." She yelled
" Wait so your saying that because I dont compliment you on your figures as much, that gives you the right to go and kiss another guy! Walter simply turned to look her in the eyes. Paige at this point was almost close to tears.
" No Walter of course not, you're blowing this way out of porportion. I swear to god if you don't calm down and listen I'll..." She didn't know what to say at first, she was thinking around the lines of saying leave. When she finally was about to finish her statement, Walter interrupted her. In a low voice he said,
"You'll what, youll go starve yourself like all those months ago, just because a creep told you the truth about yourself and your body?" Paige stood there frozen in shock as he looked away from her in disgust. It wasn't until she sharply breathed out that Walter really thought about what he said. He instantly regretted it. What the hell was he thinking, did he really just say all that to Paige.
He looked back at Paige only to see the shocked yet hurt look on her face. Tears were spilling out of her eyes and she just looked at him with betrayal and pain. She quickly turned around to leave. Walter quickly tried to grab her hand, but she yanked her hand away from his, turned around and smacked him hard on the cheek. She then turned her head.
"I know you still have trouble with your EQ Walter, but that was just cold. Don't worry though, I'll make sure I live up to that creeps and your standards." She said with an icy tone. She quickly got into her car, and drove away, leaving Walter standing there like an idiot.
Boy did he sure feel like an idiot. But what worried him more was Paige's last words to him. She'll live up to his standards? Walter was unsure of what she meant but all heknew what that he had to make it up to her...
