A/N: I know I haven't updated in a while... Sorry! But here is the latest chapter of this story. I don't own scorpion, also if there is something you think I should add to make the story seem more interesting leave it in the reviews! Thanks!

The next day, Paige walked into the garage with Ralph in tow. Ralph silently looked at Walter, then walked to the kitchen to eat breakfast. Paige noticed her sons strange behavior but decided to question it later. She felt her body screaming at her to it down, so the minute she got to her desk she collapsed into her soft chair. Not eating was hard, she continuously drank water and vitamins to help, but Paige knew that that could not fully replace food. In the last week, after Ralph fell asleep she would sneek to the gym in her apartment complex and exercise for about 2 hours, then she would come home shower and cry herself to sleep. Even though Paige was certain Ralph knew about the fight , she didn't want Ralph involved. Ever since she started working out more and eating less, she lost a total of 14 pounds. She was happy, but at the same time sad because her weight still wasn't a number she was happy with. She just had to keep working. This wasn't about Walter anymore, this was about her feeling happy in her body.

Walter watched Paige work from his desk. She was paler, skinnier, and looked more tired than usual. He knew from Ralph's lecture to him that she wasn't eating. He needed to convince her to eat. If anything he would hold her down and force feed her if he had to. He grabbed an apple seeing if she would accept it as he walked over.

"Hey Paige, looks like you can use this" walter said calmly.

"No thanks walter, I'm not hungry" Paige responded not looking at him. A psych marker that meant she was lying. Walter kept insisting to her but she kept saying no, getting more and more annoyed each time. By the time Paige was about to explode Cabe walked in announcing there was a case. Just in time too because one more second and Walter would be needing ice.

It was a simple go hack something, and pray you don't get caught type of case. The team grabbed their gear and loaded into the van. Paige made sure to sit in the front with Cabe so she could avoid Walter. It took about am hour to get to the client, but when they pulled up to the expensive mansion, it was obvious this would be a doozy. As the team filed out of the car, Walter took notice of how Paige swayed a little. He quickly came up to her but she turned around and blantly ignored him. They walked up to a man who they assumed was the owner of the mansion. As assumed it was a simple case, except for the part where the culprit tried to run. Once Walter identified the hacker and the owner brought him in for questioning he ran. Actually he jumeped out the window and ran.

And of course Walter and Paige both ran after him. They chased after him for about 3 blocks until Toby came up in the van and hit him. Not hard enough to kill him but with enough force to brake a few ribs. Cabe made the arrest and walked away with the culprit, leaving Walter, Paige, and Toby.

Walter was breathing normally, but Piage was still catching her breath. She was hunched over, leaning on top of a trash can, trying to catch her breath. Walter being too stupid for his own damn good, told Toby to take the van back to the mansion and that he and Paige would be ok. Toby obeyed, but not without looking at Walter like he was crazy. When Toby finally drove off, Walter took a deep breath and turned to face Paige. She looked weak, and so tired. He instantly regretted having Toby leave, but it was over now.

"Hey Paige, we're going to have to walk back, you good?" He asked. He knew she wasn't but asked anyways. She held up a thumbs up as she was still catching her breath. Walter not being able to hide his concern told her,

"Um... Are you sure you're okay? If you want you can lean on me while we walk." He said. Paige looked up at him and sharply said.

"I'm fine Walter, I don't need your help." Those words cut deep into Walter. It hurt him to see Paige talk to him as if he was a bother to her. All he did was simply nod at her and turned around to walk back. Usually he would wait for her, but assuming he was the last person Paige wanted to be around, Walter just walked ahead. It wasn't even a second later that he heard Paige's feeble voice.

"Walter wait, please, help m-" and then there was a crash.
