Paige couldn't believe what had happened. Randy had just slapped her while he was having some sort of episode. She didn't know what to do. She was in shock. Of course she was. He had just laid his hand on her. And it was one of the moments she didn't it. She didn't want the boy to hurt her. She didn't want him to hurt her.

She actually wanted something with him. Their relationship, she wanted it to go beyond just sex. She wanted to have something special. She looked at the door her walked out of. She could see her hands shaking. She rubbed her eyes and left the room, not wanting to be there anymore.

Knight's Killer

Emma was sitting down on her bed with Seth. She wanted to talk to him, about what was going on between them. She knew that a hospital was not a good place to start a relationship, but she really liked Seth.

She leaned towards him, and Seth smiled. "I like you Emma."

"I like you too Seth. And I-I'm scared."

"About what?" Seth asked, reaching over and grabbing her hand.

"Everything. Of what's out there. What will happen to us if we start something. Of falling in love," she whispered looking at their linked hands.

"It's okay to be scared. I'm going to be there, every step of the way. I promise you," Seth told her, placing his hand on her cheek. He brought her face close and pressed his lips against hers.

Emma smiled into the kiss. She pulled away and opened her eyes, she didn't realize she had closed them. She looked into Seth's eyes, but something behind him caught her attention.

She shot up and looked at Paige, who had entered with her head down.

"Paige? I thought you were going to be with Randy?"

Paige shrugged. "He-uh, he had something to do."

Emma frowned. She could hear the tears in her voice. She walked over moved Paige's hair. Right there, in front of her was Paige, with a reddening handprint on her cheek. She could see the tears in her best friend's eyes.

Emma had never felt so much anger in her life. She turned and stormed out the room.

Paige shouted her name, begging her to stop, but the blond didn't. Seth shot up and wrapped his arms around the Brit. They both stared at the door, not sure what was going to happen.

Knight's Killer

Randy sat with Edge, Lita and Trish. He hadn't talked since he got there. His friends chose not to ask, assuming he was having one of his days. Everyone had one, where their emotions got the best of them and they just needed to be left alone.

When he arrived his hands were shaking and he looked scared. His eyes kept shifting from person to person.

Lita elbowed Trish when she saw Emma. They both smiled at her, but their smiles were wiped off when they saw the anger in the younger woman's face. The redhead turned to her best friend, confused.

Emma stopped in front of Randy. The man looked at her. Once his eyes connected with hers, her hand connected with his cheek.

"How do you like it?" Emma snapped, glaring at him.

"Emma—"

"No! You don't get to talk. You don't get to defend yourself. I trusted you. Paige trusted you, but you violated that trust. Everything I worked for, everything I did to make sure Paige is happy, it's all gone. It all went to hell, because of you!"

"Emma, I'm sorry. It's just that she was there on the wrong moment. I was thinking, my past—"

"Don't give me your bullshit. Oh so your past was bad? What did daddy beat you? So what? Everyone's past is bad! But that doesn't give you the right to hit her!"

"She's always asking her to get hurt," Randy snapped, wishing he didn't.

The look on Emma's face, it scared him, it scared everyone.

"Fuck you Orton. Why don't you take a page from her parent's book, and stay the fuck out of her life. Burn in hell."

Emma stormed away. Randy sat there. He placed his face in his hands and took a deep breath.

"What's going on Randy?" Trish asked, carefully. She had heard the conversation. She didn't want to believe what she had heard. She didn't want to think about what he had done.

"Please tell us she was overreacting, and you didn't do anything," Lita said, closing her eyes. Paige was a little sister, and Lita didn't want to see her get hurt.

"She was telling the truth. I have to talk to her, to explain," he muttered. He stood up and left, leaving three confused and worried people behind.

Knight's Killer

Paige was lying down on her bed. Seth and Emma left to get food. They had stayed with her, and tried to get her to talk, but she didn't want to talk. She heard a knock on the door. She looked up and standing there was the last person she wanted to see.

"What do you want? Want to get the other cheek?"

Randy flinched. "I deserved it. I wanted to explain. I wanted to tell you everything."

Paige nodded, but made no movement to get near him. Randy entered the room and sat on Emma's bed.

"I hear voices in my head," he stared, his voice a whisper. Paige nodded for him to continue. She didn't seem surprised, but who would? They were at a mental hospital for god sake.

"I was sent here after attacking my father. The voices, they take over. I black out when that happens."

"Is that what happened?"

"No. The voices, they protected me. I didn't remember what happened, why they first appeared. Why I didn't remember."

"Didn't?"

"Now I do. I-I was having a flashback, I was in a time I had forgotten. I wasn't there Paige, I didn't mean to hit you. I-I wasn't trying to hit you. I was hitting my father. I remembered why I suppressed so much. Paige, I found out that my father beat me, and when he was drunk, he would rape me."

Paige looked at him. She was shocked. She didn't not expect to hear that, or anything of that sort.

"And when you were trying to get me to talk to you, I was stuck in the past. I was stuck in that moment. And I'm so sorry I slapped you, I really am," Randy told her, his tears leaking out of his eyes.

"Emma told me about that comment you said. Do you ever wonder why I ask you to hurt me? Do you ever wonder why?"

Randy nodded. "All the time."

"I can't feel. I have CIPA," Randy nodded, knowing what that was. And it explained much. "When you slapped me, I didn't feel the slap. It didn't hurt. But the thought of you trying to hurt me did."

"Paige, I would never try to hurt you. I would never try to hurt you. Not intentionally."

Paige gave him a small smile. "Everything in me is telling me no, and I know Emma is going to be pissed, but I forgive you. It wasn't your fault. Just promise you'll talk to your therapist?"

Randy smiled and nodded. "I will. And I know I broke your trust, and I will do everything I can to get it back."

Paige smiled and nodded. She watched him stand up and walk out of the room. She smiled soft and leaned back against the bed. She stared at the ceiling, with a small smile on her face.

Knight's Killer

It had been a month since Randy talked to Paige about his past. He was going to get lunch, when he found her on the end of some steps. He could tell that she was sad but the way her body was. Randy walked towards her, having the intension of talking to her.

"What's wrong?" Randy asked, while sitting next to Paige on some stairs.

"Emma," Paige whispered, looking at the ground. Randy sighed. Emma still hated him, and she never forgave him. Not that she should.

"What about her?"

Paige wiped her eyes before answering, "She's going home. She's leaving."


Next chapter will have a lot of Paige + Emma friendship.
