A/N: Kia Ora Guys! I'm back I'm so sorry it's been like 3 weeks since I've updated this! I had mock exams and then I had huge assignments due for school. Now I'm on school holidays for 2 weeks and I was meant to be going away for this week but I didn't because I got SICK :( AGHH! I hate being sick. I also got writers block and lost a little bit of inspiration for this story. But I shouldn't have any excuse so I'm very deeply sorry for the long wait!

Before you start reading I just want to say I have NO clue about building things or anything! So if the things I've said are completely wrong I'm very sorry. This chapter is quite long well longer than chapter 15 (The chapter I finished last night).

I hope you guys enjoy! Please don't forget to leave a review or flip me a quick PM I love your guys feedback!


Previously on: Why do you do this to me

Emily is looking forward to seeing her mom again. Emily went to a meeting about something. Paige and Emily are now in the Fields' Residence eating Pasta in the kitchen.

I Never Knew She Could Do That – Chapter 13

EMILY'S POV

"What do you plan on doing for the rest of today?" Paige asks me.

"I'm going to go to the hardware store and try to fix some of this mess up before my mom gets home and kills me." I respond while placing a piece of pasta in my mouth using a fork.

"If you want you can stay and help…I'll probably need it." I say after I finished my mouthful of pasta, while holding up my injured hand.

"Sure. But I'm not good with using tools or anything." Paige shrugs and places a piece of pasta in her mouth.

"I can teach you. But you might have to do most of the hammering. I will probably kill my hand even more by squashing it if I use my left hand." I announce while chuckling and imagine me trying to use a hammer with my left hand and completely missing the nail and slamming the hammer on my already screwed up hand.

"As long as I don't smash my hand while trying to hammer something." Paige suggest and we both start laughing.

"I'm not making any promises." I say whist putting both my hands up over my head, In a surrender position.

"Shouldn't once we are finished eating, go and measure some of the holes in the walls to make sure we get the right sized materials?" Paige asks while finishing her bowl of pasta.

"I was just about to suggest that." I say while looking around at all the holes around the house just from the place that I'm sitting in I can count 5 holes that will need some plaster.

I quickly finish my pasta. I collect Paige's plate and rinse them and then place them into the dishwasher.

I go to one of the cabinets and grab the tools that we will need to take measurements of the holes.

After about 30 minutes we have now measured everything that we will need. The plaster that will fill the area of the wall. The type of material the couch is and we have a sample, and a few more things.

While we were measuring the length and width we had a great conversation going. Random things from, what do you want to be when your older, If you could be anything in the world what would you be, and to stranger things like what's your favorite color and your favorite clothing store. It's really interesting to get to know Paige. I have always thought that she absolutely hated me because of all the crap she gave me in swimming and just around the school halls.

But now I think I understand why she was doing that. It was because she could see the best in me, and wanted to push me to my best. Or I'm just thinking that's what she was doing and actually does hate me.

"What car do you want to take?" I ask Paige as we are just getting our stuff to go to the hardware store.

"Umm... Whose car is bigger?" Paige corresponds to my question.

"I think mine is bigger, plus we can lay the back chairs down and place the plaster flat." I say while looking at Paige.

"Alright. Your car it is. But I'm driving! No arguments!" Paige insist and grabs the keys out of my hand and starts jogging towards my car, I start chuckling at watching Paige being so childish. Honestly I don't think I've laughed this much in ages, I've been laughing so much that every time I break out into a little chuckle I have to grip my stomach because my abs start to hurt.

I slowly make my way to the car, but I make sure to lock the front door. I don't think anyone will be trying to rob the place because it looks like it already has been robbed but it's just a precaution.

I get in the passenger seat, buckle up my seatbelt and then Paige starts the car, and reverses out of my driveway and starts driving towards the hardware store.


We have been at the hardware store for about 3 hours, and the time is nearing 3 o'clock in the afternoon. If we don't get back home and start trying to fix everything, we are going to have a lot of stuff to do tomorrow morning. I want to at least have 1 coat of paint on most of the big holes tonight.

So far we have all the plaster boards we need, we have filler to make sure that there aren't any missing holes from the new plaster boards and the old ones. We have a saw just in case we have to cut the plaster. We have painters tape to outline the plaster once it's ready. I think we have everything, and we still need to go to Ikea and try to find a few tables and a new couch or new couch material. Also we need to get a new mirror, the mirror I smashed was pretty new and I know my mom got it from Ikea so hopefully I can find the same one.

We are just approaching the check out when Paige says, "How are you paying for this?"

I sigh at her question, I sort of had a feeling that this was coming especially with everything that we have brought. "I have enough saved up, it doesn't matter."

"How about you go to the car, and put the seats down. I'll pay and come out to you." I say while putting my left hand in my back pocket of my jeans looking for my car keys. As I pull out my car key, I accidently pull out another key and it lands on the floor. I quickly pick it up by its tag that has 'Unit C' on it and put it in my pocket. I hope Paige didn't see that key because then she might ask me what it is, and I don't want to share that information with anyone. Not that I don't trust Paige it's that I don't trust myself.

I hand my car keys over to Paige and she just nods her head and walks out of the exit of the store and walks towards to the car.

While the cashier is inputting all of our objects into the computer system my phone goes off. I know exactly who it is from. I get my phone out of my front left pocket and open up my phone. I read the message

Be careful. Don't let her start asking questions that you don't want her to ask. Otherwise you might have to tell her your secret.

I type a reply and hit send

Quit watching me 24/7 don't you have a life to get too as well? - Em

Before I have the chance to put my phone away I get another text.

I just care. But remember you came to me. Not the other way round.

I smile at how goofy he is being and I type another response to him.

Yeah. But I didn't expect you to drop your whole life and watch me 24/7. Now get back to your life and stop watching mine :P – Em

I am about to put my phone away for the second time but I get another text.

Alright boss! Cya tomorrow, you're still coming to training tomorrow right?

I sigh as the cashier is nearly finished scanning all the items in the cart.

I put my phone away as the cashier says "The total is $579, for today. How would you like to pay?"

I grab my wallet out of my right front pocket using my injured hand and then count out $600 with the $100 notes I have in my wallet. I offer the money to the cashier and say "Cash, keep the change." With a friendly smile on my face.

"Thank you. Have a nice day." The cashier responds while handing me the receipt. I nod towards the cashier and start pushing the cart out of the store.

I push the cart over towards where Paige parked the car. I see that Paige is still having trouble trying to put down the back seat.

I walk over to her. I stop the cart and say, "Here let me show you." She takes a few steps back so she can see how I do it. I pull on the leaver under the seat with my left hand, and the leaver on the back of the seat with my right hand.

I try to pull the leaver with my right hand but it doesn't work. Because I can't grip with my right hand. I quickly try again and it works.

As soon as I finish my task my feel a huge shock of pain in my hand. I try not to show it on my face so that Paige doesn't see. I don't think she does because she goes onto the other side of the car and starts to do what I did and manages to put the chair down with ease.

We quickly lift all of the materials and tools into the back of my car. I roll the cart over to one of the cart bays in the car park. I get into the passenger seat of the car, and pull out my phone to reply to the text message.

Of course! Have I ever missed a training session? No I haven't plus I've paid you and I want my money's worth! – Em

I have a big smile on my face as I start typing out the message to him. I see that Paige notices while I'm putting my phone away.

She asks "Who was that?"

I quickly have an argument with myself about whether to tell her the truth or to lie to her. I quickly decide the less complicated option for the moment and say "Oh…It's just my dad. It's saying that he might be able to come home soon." It isn't a total lie, I have talked to my dad and he said that he might be able to come out in a couple weeks, to help me with my physical therapy.

"That must be really exciting." Paige says.

"Yeah, it is. I haven't seen him in ages. But he's only coming out for a few days because he heard from mom that I hurt my hand." I sigh at the words coming out my mouth. The words are still true, but it's not what was happening in that moment.

I feel my phone vibrate again, I have a huge smile on my face as I go to read the text message. But as soon as I go to look at the message ID, I sigh heavily. 'Unknown number'

I open the message.

Next time, maybe you should repeatedly punch her. Kisses – A
