Recap:
"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.
Walter turned around as soon has he heard the metallic crash. Paige had collapsed onto the trash can and was currently on the ground. Walter instantely ran to her and held her. Throughout the entire time he kept yelling,
"Paige! PAIGE! please wake up. Please! Anything." Walter didn't even notice he was crying until one of his tear drops fell on her face. He grabbed his phone out of his pocket and called 911. He didn't care anymore if she said she was fine. She obviously wasn't and she needed help. After he hung up, he quietly whispered to her,
"Help is coming Paige, I need you to hold on a little while... God I'm sorry this is all my fault. If I hadn't been jealous of Drew unintentionally kissng you, we probably wouldn't be in this mess... I forced you to do this to yourself. I'm so sorry Paige, I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you if you just stay with me now." He gently hugged her body to his and kissed her forehead, cheeks, chin, everywhere on her face but her lips. He wanted her awake when he kissed her li
The ambulance came about 15 minutes later, and the paramedics had Walter place Paige on a stretcher. Walter told them all he knew, and with that the paramedics hooked her up to a few IVs. The ride to the hospital was quick. About 5 miutes. They rushed Paige into the ER and had Walter stay back, but he didn't want to he wanted to be there to see what they would do to Paige, but he knew they wouldn't allow him so he stayed in the waiting room filling out forms and calling Cabe, Ralph, and the rest of the team.
Once the team got to the hospital with Ralph, he instantly ran up to Walter with tears in his eyes. Ralph kepts asking if his mom was going to be okay, and all Walter could do is reassure him. Walter himself was asking that question, and he honestly didn't know the answer. All he could do was hope. The team waited in waiting room for about 2 hours until the doctor came out asking for family and friends. Walter went up to the doctor and asked how she was. The doctor told him that Paige would be fne and explained everything wrong. Malnutrition, underweight, fatigue caused by it all. As the doctor continued Walter ultimately felt worse and worse.
"Shes awake but ony 2 can visiting and 1 can stay the night." The doctor said. It was there when the team decided that Ralph and Walter would see her and Walter would stay the night. The doctor told them the room number and Walter and Ralph made their way over. Walter felt his heart constrain when he saw Paige, since she was now in a hospital gown and no makeup he could properly see her. She looked weak and tired. The sight of her alone made Walter want to hug her and cry and beg for her forgiveness. As he and Ralph walked in, Paige looked directly at Ralph, trying not to catch sight of Walter.
"Hi mom, how are you feeling?" Ralph asked quietly.
"I'm fine, tired, but fine." Paige responded quietly. Ralph and her talked for about an hour more until the nurse came in saying visitation hours were over. Ralph quietly bid his goodbyes to his mother and left, leaving Walter and Paige in the room. At this point Walter was ready to break. He did this to her, he made her feel ugly and fat, he made this mess and he needed to fix it. He silently made his way over to gthe chair next to the bed. Paige still wasn't making eye contact with him. He realized that she was probably not going to talk so he might as well.
"Paige... My god I'm so sorry" Walter could already feel himself break, he wasn't going to last long.
"This really was all my fault, if I had just listened to you explain what happened, I wouldn't have said anything, you don't know how awful I feel knowing that it was me who made you stop eating, that made you cry every night, that made you feel terrible about yourself. I promise I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you, loving you, and helping you." At this point, Walter was visibly crying. Paige not being able to take it, grabbed his hand. He looked up as she started speaking.
"Walter, you don't understand how I felt when you said all that, I felt that all the hard work I was putting in the previous months was for nothing if you could still see me the same way. I felt that you didn't see me as the same woman you fell in love with, I thought you were disappointed with me." She said quietly, tears were starting to form in her eyes but she didn't want to cry. Walter at this point had her hand in both of his and was kissing it lightly.
"I could never be disappointed with you Paige, you are incredible. I know I hurt you, and when I saw you pass out I just realized that I can't live without you, and if I didn't do anything to help you, I would untimely lose you. I still see you as the same woman, you are still the beautiful, kind, and s,art woman I fell in love with. I know you don't hear me say this a lot or as much as you deserve, but I love you, and I'm sorry." Walter said. Paige finally let the tears roll down as he launched herself forward to give Walter a hug. Walter hugged her back enjoying the feel of her beneath him.
"Will you stay with me tonight?" Paige asked.
"Of course Paige." Walter said as he lifted himself onto the hospital bed and wrapped her in his arms. Before dozing off to sleep, Paige lifted her neck to kis Walter gently on the lips. Walter smiled into the kiss, missing the feel of her lips on his. When they finally pulled away, they both fell into blissful sleep.
