wow! I think I'm doing a better job with this than I first thought!

I'm so happy to read your reviews! Thank you so much!

Tony : I'm glad you like the story! Yes there will be Paily moments later on, I try to work towards it :). Paily for sure!

We were making our way back into the kitchen as the doorbell rang. I went to answer it, confidently I opened the door without looking through the window. I hesitated several seconds to open the door a bit wider, I was glancing over my shoulder. If I only could beeline my way over to the kitchen door and close it fast. I wasn't in the mood for this kind of drama how ironic it may be that it's happing right now.

I was dying to ask her how she had known where to find me, would she lie to me? I decided to stay right there, I know that she won't leave easily but I won't let her inside no matter what she tried.

As soon I had opened the door a few inches and a slice of her face became visible I couldn't believe the guts that this woman had. "Hi Paige, how are you?" I flinched when I heard her voice.

"Can I come in? It's easier to talk that way." I was irritated that she thought I was stupid. She had come here with a well thought out plan, maybe I'm thinking worse things than what it exactly is but a woman got to be careful right? Woman can be snakes after all.

"Aren't you really going to talk to me Paige? I'm your sister! I'm so happy I found you! I don't know where to start to tell you how worried I was." She reached out to touch my arm. It was a quick movement but also gentle. I couldn't believe she was here, telling me this. Another sister would pull her sister in a big hug, tears flooding after all these years. And I was standing here, feeling the lasagna being very present in my stomach.

"I was so young and selfish. Now I can help you and you can help me. Don't you want to start over?" I wished that we could go back and do things over, but that was wishful thinking. I don't believe she has many wishful bones. I couldn't do this with her, not now, not ever I'm afraid.

"I'm sorry." I finally managed to say something. "I don't think there's an relationship possible between the two of us. You have no idea how my life changed, I'm finally in a good position. Bye Alison." I stepped back inside and closed the door, not giving her or myself the chance to say another word.

"You okay?" I closed my eyes and gave her a small laugh. She looked at me with her soft eyes, she wrapped her arms around herself. "I hid myself behind the door as soon I recognized who it was, I hope you don't mind I listened in."

"No, that's okay. Do you think Spencer heard?" She shrugged her shoulders. "Not sure."

"She didn't ask about you."

"Doesn't mean she doesn't know I'm here right now."

"You can leave through the backdoor, you can be back at your place before-"

"Hey, I have nothing to hide. I might not be telling something but-"

"Let's get back to Spencer." Now it was my turn to cut her off. We threw small smiles in each other's direction. The conversation stayed on safe topics. It was better if we left certain things unsaid, we only try to apologize to each other with other words. While it's not necessary at all. It's like making sure the other one is doing really okay in another way.

"Where's Caleb? Haven't seen him around lately." I asked Spencer.

"He's at his girlfriends. His loud crazy girlfriend."

Emily raised her eyebrow looking at me. I had to hold a laugh back when I thought about how all of that is true. "Yeah. She's definitely a character." I smiled.

"It's the clinic girl right? The one who talks until your coffee is cold, makes you a new one talks some more until that one is cold and you're nervous as hell but not because of the coffee or the adrenaline it gives you."

Emily gasped. "Caleb is dating Hanna? Caleb is the one why she's always late in the morning?"

I laughed. "Yeah that's the one. You know she stopped me the other day in the store making me try on a dress."

Now Spencer was joining our laughter. "No freaking way! She didn't do that!'

"I swear!"

"So how are you and Audrey doing by the way?"

I smiled, looking down at my feet as we sat down in the couch flicking through some channels as Spencer poured us some more wine.

"We're doing alright. We went to dinner for the first time three days ago. Thank you for giving me that idea Spence."

"Good I'm glad." Spencer looked genuinely happy for me. "I hate her sister Shana but Audrey is a good one."

"Who's Audrey?" Emily's soft voice filled the room. "The girl she's seeing." Spencer casually answered not looking from the screen to look at us. I gave Emily a quick ashamed smile. Why ashamed?

"I had dinner the other night too, with Toby and his parents. It's weird their relationship, it goes back and forth all the time."

"Yeah I know about those." Emily took a big sip from her glass.

"What about you Emily? How's your life love going?" It was really weird to ask, for one I kind of have a love life going on and I actually don't want to know the answer.

She said nothing. Emily said nothing, she only shook her head. She looked at me, no more she looked through me or for sure was trying to. I had never thought about her being with someone, I don't even know which gender she prefers. I won't think about it too much but it was certainly possible she would think about girls sometimes.
