"Paige?"
Was all Roman managed to say when he saw his friend's daughter standing right in front of him. Paige gave him a faint smile and asked "Can I come in?"
Roman moved out of her way and she entered the room. Seth was reading a book when he said "Roman who was at the-" but he stopped mid sentence as he saw Paige. "Paige?" He asked. At the sound of her name, Dean looked up from his laptop and his eyes confirmed what he heard; little Paige Brooks was in their dressing room. "Paige? What are you doing here?" He asked.
"Can I stay here?" Paige asked.
Roman, Dean, and Seth all looked at each other with uncertainty. Then, Seth looked at Paige and he said "Does your dad know your here?"
Paige shook her head 'no'. "Let the kid stay here for a little while" Dean said. "We'll let Phil know in the morning and then at some point one of us will meet with him and we'll give Paige back to him" then Dean looked at Paige and he said "Where's your phone?"
"Broken" Paige said bluntly. "Why?" Dean asked.
"And what made you decide to come here?" Seth asked as well.
Paige sighed and then she started on the explanation. She told her favorite band that ever since she can remember, its always been her and Phil. Them against the world. But now since he's been dating Brooke, she felt shut out from the family. She felt like she lost her dad, and she was scared and wanted no part of it. It took her an hour to explain this, and after that hour she was in tears. Feeling bad for the kid, Dean stood up and he hugged her. Dean looked at Roman and pleaded with his eyes 'please let her stay'. Roman sighed and he said "Fine. But we're getting in contact with Phil in the morning"
Morning came, and Phil was pacing back and forth in worry hysteria. His daughter wasn't home. His little Angel was missing. The broken phone he found was on the table and he couldn't fathom why Paige ran away. Brooke came downstairs and she saw her boyfriend worried sick. "Phil babe whats wrong?"
"Paige,Brooke. Its Paige shes-shes-shes gone"
"Gone what do you mean gone!?" Brooke exclaimed and that woke Matthew up.
"Shes missing Brooke, shes not in her room hephones smashed and shes-shes" then, Phil broke down in tears. Brooke went to him and hugged him tightly. She never would've thought that Paige would run away, it just didn't make sense to her. While all that was going on, Matthew was watching from the top of the stair case. He felt bad that he had to see his dad go through all this. Dad. While he had a biological dad, he never saw him. At all. Besides he was a deadbeat, Phil was much more of a dad to him then anything else. And Paige was like his little sister. Not 'like', she WAS his little sister but only by 9 months. So, now he felt like he had to find out where she was. Brooke felt her son's presence and she said "Matthew come on down in the living room"
Matthew walked down the stairs and he entered the living room. "Is everything OK?" He asked.
"Yeah we just want you to be here" Brooke said, trying to hide the hurt in her voice. "Why don't you grab the pancake mix and I'll make us breakfast"
Matthew did as he was told, but not before he gave Phil a hug and said to him "I love you dad".
Phil hugged Matthew back and he said "I love you too bud"
Then, Matthew went into the kitchen and grabbed the mix.
