Chapter 8

Paige's POV

" 27, 28, 29, 30" I finished in my head as I completed my third set of push ups. It had been two weeks since I found out the truth about my love life. Things were OK I guess. Spencer had gone back to normal being sarcastic towards me and helping me with school. Emily was giving me my space. I told her I honestly didn't know how I felt about her and that things were still confusing for me. I had started to pay more attention to her noticing certain quirks that I could definitely see were cute about her. I slept on the couch because I didn't want to confuse myself or hurt Emily. A part of me was still attracted to Spencer. She just had a way about her that drove me insane. The good kind of insane. She was bossy and deliberate. Which was kind of hot. I felt like a lost puppy following her around for the past two months but part of me really liked being guided. Be controlled. Then their was Emily who I evidently had a history with. She was cute and so sweet. I still couldn't remember anything from my past with her but certain times I would get a warm fuzzy feeling towards her.

My arm was basically healed and my ribs were feeling pretty good. Physically my head was doing great but mentally I was a mess. My schedule was the same everyday. I get up and go to my classes. Jog around campus a few times before heading home. After finishing my homework I would start dinner for the girls. I had started a rigorous workout regimen. I would jog around campus and then to the apartment. Then I do 50 reps of jumping jacks, push ups, crunches, squats, lunges, and other various workouts. I still hadn't been cleared to go to the pool so I was banned from the pool area. I wasn't even allowed in the gym. Which was fine with me, I liked to workout on my own anyway. With everything going on around me. Finding out the truth, adjusting to college life, and living with my crazy little sister was really getting to me. Me and the girls sat down I explained everything with Leslie and my mom. Everyone was really understanding. With all the stress my body was the only thing I felt I could control. I had to get back into shape for spring semester. Swimming and track were the only things that I understood with no confusion. Pushing my body to the limit everyday so I fell asleep exhausted was all I could do right now.

" 48, 49, 50" I counted aloud as I pushed up off the ground one final time. I hopped on to my feet and dusted my hands off. I was in Emily's large bathroom. I had ran the shower at the beginning of my workout so I could fill the room with steam causing me to sweat even more. I did all my workout in the bathroom. Just as I was throwing water on my face I heard a knock at the door.

" Come in" I said as I dried my face with a hand towel.

" Paigee" the blonde sang as she swung open the door.

" Hannah?" I asked turning to her.

" In the flesh" she said opening her arms.

" Hannah I am really gross. You don't want to hug me. What are you doing here?"

" It's Friday. Me and Aria are here for the weekend. Emily didn't tell you?" she asked looking at me questioningly.

" Oh. It is Friday. I totally forgot. Let me shower and I will be right out" She smiled at me and walked out the room. I had completely forgot Hannah and Aria were coming this weekend. I had forgot it was the weekend. I just had too much on my mind.

After I showered and got dressed I met everyone in the living room.

" Is this a private moment?" I asked when I saw Aria on top of Hannah on the floor. Everyone laughed at me.

" No. Aria was just showing us some of the moves she learned in her self defense class" Spencer explained.

" I mean not that I mind this" Hannah said with a wink. Aria slowly got up and took a spot on the couch leaving Hannah cross legged on the floor.

" I really love my class. It is really interesting and makes me feel powerful. Makes me feel in control" Aria said aloud.

" Not to mention the hot teacher" Hannah sang.

" Having a hot teacher does help attendance" I heard Aria say as I walked into the kitchen. I poured myself some orange juice and grabbed an apple from the fruit basket. I was leaning on the counter eating my apple when a thought hit me. I had seen a poster for kickboxing hanging in the courtyard. Maybe what I needed was to get out the house. I wasn't allowed to swim but I could put all this pent up energy somewhere else. I chucked the apple core into the trash can and ran into the room to grab my shoes.

" I forgot I had to go return this book today before 1" I said to everyone in the living room.

" OK. Well hurry because were going to the mall" Hannah said from the floor.

" Yea of course. I'll be quick" I made my way outside and headed towards campus. I knew how impatient Hannah could be so I picked up my pace to a slow jog. I made it to campus in no time. I looked around at the various stands and directories trying to remember where I had seen it. Finally I found it putting the number in my phone. I turned back the way I came to see a black motorcycle pulling up. A short blonde stepping off the bike. I hadn't seen much of Leslie since I found out the truth. She had made new friends and used them to avoid the apartment. Or me rather. She pulled off her helmet and shook her hair. She started to walk towards the library when I saw a guy approach her. He was a big guy wearing a blue ball cap. They were evidently arguing. I could see their hands flying as they spoke. I could make out words but their voices were loud. People were beginning to stare. Leslie started to walk away and the guy turned to step in front of her. He lifted his head as he continued to yell at her. Kevin. I could see his face now and I felt my stomach heave. My legs instinctively began to move forward. I weaved between people without even really looking at them. The closer I got, the clearer I could hear the conversation.

" It has nothing to do with you. I just don't want to be with you" I heard Leslie plead.

" How can you say it has nothing to do with me? It has everything to do with me" I heard him say.

" Kevin. It has been almost a year. We are over."

" Leslie we are so good together. I just want a good reason you won't give me another chance. And not I don't know or it just wasn't working out. Give me one good reason and I will leave it alone forever"

" Because she is with me" I said finally reaching her side. Leslie turned to look up at me.

" P-Paige. I didn't know. Honest" he said looking at me with wide eyes.

" It's fine. She probably didn't say anything because we were trying to keep it quiet. We have to go now" I said gently tugging her arm away from him.

" What the hell is going on?" I asked once we were out of ear shot.

" Kevin found out where I moved thanks to mom and he wants another chance" she said blankly. Kevin was an old friends of ours. He was one of the few people we hung out with before I moved away. The moment I moved away he made his move on Leslie, betraying me. And she dated him. She called to tell me she was dating him a few weeks after I moved. I freaked at first. I was mad at him not her. He hurt me. Went after my ex when we were supposed to be best buds. I ignored his calls, messages, and emails. That was the first time I had any interaction with him in two years. We reached her bike and I could tell she was shook up.

" Has he been bothering you?" I asked putting my hands on her shoulders.

" Not really. I mean we tried to stay friends after the break up but he always wants more. I told him since I was going to college that there was no chance of us getting back together. I didn't even tell him where I was going to school. Mom always liked him so I'm sure she was excited to tell him exactly where I was" she said the last part sarcastically. I looked back at the spot where we had been standing to see him still standing there.

" I don't think he believes you" she said looking where I was looking. I didn't want Kevin here any more than she did. I moved my hands down reaching for hers. I leaned down and placed a small kiss on her lips.

" I think that might help" she said smiling once I pulled away.

" I have an idea. Just go with it" I pulled her helmet off the handle bars and gently placed it on her head. She hopped on her bike throwing her leg over the seat. I hopped on behind her and gave him a wave before she sped off down College Ave. When we were away from campus I pointed at a small park for her to pull over.

" Did you see his face? Jealous much" Leslie joked under her helmet.

" Priceless" I said leaning back.

" Thank you for that"

" No worries. I don't want to see him here anymore than you do. What did you ever see in him anyway?" I asked.

" I was lonely Paige. My best friend and girlfriend just disappeared out of thin air one day. We had a common thing that brought us together. You and Kevin used to be pretty close"

" Yea well those things tend to change when the moment your out the picture your best friends jumps all over your girl" I say climbing off the bike.

" Paige you broke up with me!" she yanking off her helmet.

" I know. I don't even know why"

" I'll tell you why. Because our parents thought it was weird for us to be together even though were not blood related. I never got the big deal since your mom and dad want nothing to do with each other. You just had to follow daddies rules though"

" Look I'm sorry I hurt you but it was confusing for me. My dad telling me that it was wrong even though were not related through blood. That it would be weird and I should feel ashamed for thinking it wasn't wrong"

" Yea I know. It's not your fault. Let's just drop it" she said putting her helmet back on. I immediately snatched it back off.

" What are you doing?" she snapped at me.

" Were talking. Your not just going to drive away and avoid me"

" I'm not avoiding you"

" You so have. You have barely been at the house. We live together and I talk to you less than when we lived hours apart"

" I'm not avoiding you. I met some friends and I have been hanging with them"

" and sleeping with them too apparently"

" No just one girl. Remember the sheets girl.

" Yes I remember her. I thought that was a one time thing"

" No she ended up being pretty cool" I could feel my blood boiling. I hadn't been this angry in so long. Back before I moved I used to have rage episodes. I would literally blackout in a fit of rage. I never could remember what happened during them but my dad told me I threw things, screamed, and was borderline violent. I hadn't had one in years but this was the feeling I remembered.

" Cool. Guess I will see you never then" I said storming off in the opposite direction.

" Paige wait" was all I heard behind me before I felt a crippling pain then darkness took me.

"Paige. Paige" I was looking up at the blue sky. I groaned at the feeling in my leg.

" Paige. I'm going to call the ambulance" I heard Leslie say.

" No. No hospital. What happened? Did I hurt you?"

" What? No of course not. You passed out"

" I thought maybe I was having an episode" I said straining to sit up.

" You mean like that night?" she said rubbing my back.

" Yes. That was my last one. Well no I think I had one at the hospital when they told me Spencer didn't want to be with me. I just want to lay down"

" Let's get you back to the apartment. Are you alright to get on the back of my bike? If not I can walk and come get it later" She said pulling me to my feet.

" I feel fine. I just want to lay down"

" Way to be quick Paige!" Hannah said jumping up.

" I-I'm sorry" I said looking at the ground.

" Well let's go" she said.

" Actually Paige doesn't feel too good" Leslie said coming in the door behind me.

" What's wrong? Emily said standing up.

" I just don't feel too good. I think I've been pushing myself too hard and it finally caught up with me. I'm just going to lay down. You guys go have fun" I said walking past them to the hallway. I stepped aside and let Leslie go into her room first before following her in.

" Do you want to take your jeans off?" I hear Leslie say.

" Yea I'm going to put on something more comfortable. Be right back" I said leaving her room. The girls were still in the living room. I slipped into Emily's room where my clothes were now. I threw my jeans in the corner and put on some loose fitting sweat pants. As I was putting my hair into a ponytail I saw Emily come in the room.

" Are you sure your alright?" she said sitting on the bed.

" Yea I'm fine. Just want to lay down"

" Oh sorry" she said getting off the bed. She pulled the covers back.

" I am going to chill in Leslie's room. Thank you though"

" No problem. Guess I will see you later" she said reluctantly leaving the room. I followed behind her but going down the hall the opposite way.

" You look tired" Leslie said laying across her bed. I plopped down laying on my back.

" I guess I am. I've been working really hard to try to find myself. I can't talk to Spencer. I can't talk to Emily. Your never here. So the only thing I have is to keep myself busy with working out"

" I'm sorry I haven't been here. I'll try to be around more" I just nodded.

" Why did you blackout back there? You usually only have a fit when your really upset about something or angry" she said sitting on her knees.

" I don't know. I guess part of me is kind of pissed at myself for letting my dad come between us. I mean the way I see it is if your dad never would have met my mom two years ago we would still be together. Ughhhh. I don't know. I'm just really confused"

" Paige it's OK. I like talking with you like this. Just raw and honest like we used to. We used to talk about everything. No filter"

" No boundaries" I said giggling.

" Hey remember when you slapped the shit out of Kristen Cane because she called me a dyke"

" Hell yea. I remember"

" Tell me how about 3 months ago she added me on facebook and her sexual orientation is lesbian. I was flipping out. She apologized and tried to ask me out. I told her no fucking way"

" She is crazy. Always was" I said slapping her leg.

" I think the reason I got so worked up earlier was because I was jealous. Jealous of you being with Kevin. Jealous of you being with sheet girl" I said avoiding her gaze.

" Do you wanna sleep now? I know you haven't been getting much sleep" she said tapping the bed next to her. I rolled over and climbed under the covers. She wrapped her arm around my waist as I snuggled back into her.

" Your warm. Are you sure your not sick Paige?" she said leaning on her elbow.

" Your room is just hot" I said flipping the covers back. I stood up and pulled off my sweat pants.

" Better?" she said laughing. I crawled back in bed and she put her arm around me once again.

" Paige geesh. Shave your legs"

" Who the hell am I trying to impress?" I said slapping her hand.

" Are you not going to say anything about what I told you?"

" What do you want me to say Paige? That I've missed you and holding you right now is all I have dreamed about for two years" Her voice was shaky. I rolled around facing her.

When I woke up my body was on fire. The room was so fucking hot. Leslie was still sleep but she was laying on her back, mouth open wide. I looked over at my phone on the table. It was 6:30. We had literally slept the whole day away.

" V get up! It is 7:30" I said slinging my legs over the bed. I stretched my arms over my head.

" Feed me" she groaned behind me.

" Yes. Food. Come on"

I walked up the hall and could see the light from the living room. Everyone turned to look at me. Hannah busted out laughing.

" What?" I said looking at their faces.

" Uh Paige. Where are your pants?" Emily said pointing at my legs. I looked down. I was in some gray boy shorts. I turned quickly and dashed into the bedroom. I could hear them howling in the living room. I threw my jeans back on from earlier and brushed my hair.

" OK look I have pants on now" I said stepping back in the room. They were still laughing. I turned to see what they were laughing at. Leslie's hair was a complete mess tasseled around her hair. I let out a small laugh.

" What the hell is everyone laughing at?" she said smirking.

" Your hair" Aria said quietly. Leslie put her hands on her hair.

" Fuck. Paige. Why didn't you say anything?" she said stomping back into her room. We laughed.

" I wasn't looking at your damn head" I said walking into the kitchen.

" Paige are you hungry? We were about to go get some food" Emily said from around the corner.

" Yea I am actually really hungry"

" Do you want to go with us? Were gonna go to college diner"

" That sounds great" Leslie said coming into the kitchen.
