Emily POV-
I couldn't sleep at last night I only slept for a little while but right now I'm getting ready to go see Paige in little bit then Spencer came over to my house now we are talking about what we found out yesterday.
'' Did Melissa said what will happen to Jenna?'' I asked Spencer we are here in my room
'' Jenna will go to jail but now she make sure Jenna won't say thing about the robberies that Paige did'' Spencer said
'' I can't believe your own sister black mail Paige did she said why''
'' No but they black mail Paige to do it if not then Melissa was going to expose Paige's family background and Melissa didn't tell me but I'm guessing is something bad that Paige doesn't want anyone to find out'' Spencer said
'' Wow she didn't have a choice then she couldn't tell anyone''
'' Did Paige tell you her secrets to you'' Spencer said
'' No she didn't when she tries to tell me Paige gets nervous and scared so I don't pressure her to tell me when she is ready she will tell me''
'' Are you and Paige back together?'' Spencer asked
'' Yeah we went to your lake house Paige asked me to be her girlfriend again I was so happy when she asked me'' I said with a smile
'' Oh about that I'm missing a bikini top in my closet do you have any idea where is it?'' Spencer said looking at me
'' You will have to talk to Paige about that'' I said it weirdly we leave my room because Spencer has to leave and going to talk to Toby to see how he feels about Jenna going to jail. He might not want to talk about it but their parents are still together so will see what will happen next.
My dad is at work right now and my mom and I are going to the hospital right now I can't wait to see Paige while the drive to the hospital I'm told my mom about Paige and I are back together.
'' Mom will you and dad be ok me dating Paige again'' I said
'' Does she makes you happy?'' My mom asked
'' Yes she does make me happy and I'm in love with Paige please don't say to break up with her''
'' Em I know your father and I said not to date Paige because what she did but now I will support you and Paige dating again and I will talk to your father'' My mom said
'' Mom that means a lot to me thank you'' I said with a big smile on my face we get here to the hospital and my mom gets a phone said we will be back so I go inside the room and I see Paige watching TV while eating food.
'' Paige you are awake'' I said with a smile Paige looks up with her mouth full she cleans her mouth
'' Emily you are here'' Paige said happily I run to her bed I put my hands on both of her cheeks and I kiss her
'' I'm * kiss* happy * kiss* you are* kiss* awake'' and I give one more kiss and I let go of her cheeks and I go sit down on a chair close to Paige holding her hand
'' Me too I woke up this morning with pain but then they gave me medicine so now I feel better'' Paige said eating her food
'' Paige I'm so happy you are getting better Paige I was really terrified that I thought I lost you for good'' I said
'' Emily look at me too I thought I died it was a scary feeling but now that I'm getting better I love you with all heart and body so much is happening right now the only thing that I care about is you'' Paige said we kiss again then my mom comes and clears her throat Paige and I stop kissing
'' Hey Mrs. Fields'' Paige said nervously
'' Hi Paige how are you feeling'' My mom said to her
'' I-I-I'm feeling better now but I have to take slow for while'' Paige said nervously again
'' Paige Emily told me about two being back together and I'm ok with that I want to see Emily happy and you are making her happy and along as you respect her I won't have any problems you two dating'' My mom said I can feel Paige's hand sweat little bit
'' Mom don't scare Paige'' I said
'' I'm not trying to scare Paige'' My mom said
'' Emily its fine I understand what she means Mrs. Fields I would never ever disrespect Emily in any way I love her so much I will do anything to make her smile and her being safe'' Paige said
'' Good well enough about that where is Katy and Taylor?'' My mom said
'' Well Taylor and my aunt are coming later in the day not sure what they are doing now'' Paige said
'' Are you two hungry?'' My mom asked
'' Yeah I'm hungry and I think Paige would like something better then hospital food'' I said
'' Yeah I'm really hungry I just ate it even it taste bad'' Paige said my mom she going to getting something for us to eat and she leaves the room
'' Paige that was really sweet what you told my mom''
'' Well I meant that I love seeing you happy the doctor said I can leave tomorrow morning'' Paige said
'' Well I'm happy you can leave tomorrow and I will come and pick you up and we could go for breakfast but healthy'' I told her and Paige giggles
'' Are you sure my aunt and Taylor were going to pick me up'' Paige said I sit on the bed close to her and I whisper in her ear
'' I could change your mind''
'' Oh yeah like what?" Paige asked I kiss her lips putting my hand on her neck and I feel Paige putting her hand behind my neck the kiss is passionate and I suck on Paige's bottom lip.
'' Wow Emily couldn't hold it in her pants'' I back away from Paige my face is really red and it's Hanna who said it. Hanna, Caleb, Toby, Aria and Spencer they greet Paige and asked how she is feeling bit later my mom comes in with the food. But she had to leave she had to care of something at work then all of us we talked about what happen why Jenna would do that Paige said she didn't want to talk about it so no one kept asking questions about it.
We all talked and laugh I love seeing Paige smiling and laughing but she couldn't laugh too much because then her stomach will hurt so we tried not make her laugh.
'' Paige when do you get out of here?'' Aria asked
'' Tomorrow morning I leave here I'm just staying to make sure I will be ok'' Paige said
'' So happy you are getting out of here'' Hanna said
'' Also Paige has to eat healthy so no junk food for while'' I said to everyone
'' Wow Paige you are whipped'' Caleb said and everyone laughs
'' Shut up Caleb'' Paige said
'' Oh Paige do you know what happen to my bikini top'' Spencer said and I see Paige's face turning red
'' Oh my god you didn't Paige'' Toby said
'' What Toby what did Paige do?'' Aria asked
'' I might I have borrowed your bikini and it's in the bottom of the lake'' Paige said
'' Oh my god you borrowed my bikini and lost it well you owe me new one'' Spencer said
'' Well know why she lost it'' Caleb said in a cocky way and he gave a high five to Toby and Paige and I looked at Paige
'' Paige'' I said and I see Hanna punch Caleb's arm also Spencer gave glare stare at Toby and Aria is just laughing
Next Morning-
I go to the hospital and I'm here in Paige's room waiting for to get ready also I hear Katy and Taylor talking to the doctor and Paige will get pain killers for the pain but only has to take it when she goes to sleep. Paige gets done getting ready I grab her hand helping walk slowly so Katy and Taylor are ok that Paige will stay at my house for bit so I'm happy about Paige says bye to them. I help Paige get into the car and we drive to my house when we get here I help Paige get out of the car and we go to the kitchen she sits down and I start to cook.
'' You look sexy while you cook'' Paige said siting down and looking at me with a cheesy smile
'' Well I hope you like blue berries pancakes and we will drink fruit smoothie '' I told her I take out the bowl also milk, eggs, and blue berries also more fruits
'' Wow you have no idea how much I love blue berries pancakes I love you so much right now'' Paige and laughed and I go next to her I give her a quick kiss on the lips. I put everything into the bowl and I start mix everything in the bowl
'' Paige I only want to make sure you eat ok I don't want you to get light head'' I said and I turn on the stove pouring the mix and I start to flip the pancake
'' Well I know I will love your pancakes and Emily tomorrow I will talk to Melissa about everything'' Paige said and I'm still making the pancakes setting them on to the plates
'' Paige do you do want to talk about it I don't want you to feel that you can't talk to me'' I told her
'' Emily they black mail because my family has a secret that no one can know and if I didn't do what they say they will expose my family and my mom will go to jail'' Paige said I get done making the pancakes and now I start to make the smoothie I put the fruits in the blender. Paige waits until I'm done and when I get done I pour the smoothie into the cups and I give Paige the pancakes and we start to eat.
'' Well I hope you ready to eat'' I told her I see Paige pours the maple syrup and she cuts the pancake with her fork and eats it then drinks the smoothie
'' Wow this really good I love it'' Paige said we both laugh
'' Thank you I'm happy you like it but try not to eat fast'' I told her
'' Emily I had no idea Jenna would do something like that'' Paige said
''None of us did we had no idea Jenna would hurt any of us''
'' Emily if I tell you my secrets would you hate me'' Paige said in sad tone of voice
'' Paige I would never ever hate you and I will never tell anyone else about your secrets I would never leave you and I'm dating you not your family'' I said to Paige she smiles we both get done eating I wash the plates when I get done cleaning. We go upstairs to my room I help Paige to get comfortable on my bed then I take off her sneakers so I take off mine also and I go sit next to Paige.
'' Emily my family might be nice to everyone but behind closed door they do bad stuff I grew in a criminal family'' Paige said
'' How bad were they?''
'' Well my grandparents were really bad people and behind closed doors they used run a brothel back then I was small child so I didn't know at that time it was bad. Ever since I haven't seen them in a while and they was showing me how to run the business of a brothel'' Paige said and I'm shocked and speechless and Paige looks down at her hands
'' But did how the Melissa and Jenna know about it?''
'' Well they dig deeper into my family because from what I know they were arrested before on many crimes of prostitution but I hate they do that but I don't keep in contact with them at all. But that's not the only secret well my mom well she was a con-artist and she used help my dad to scam people before but when she got pregnant with me she stopped but then my dad verbally abusive to my mom that's she left also she did drugs and drank. She left me and my dad for another man she thought I was better off with my dad'' Paige said I can tell by her voice she is happy that finally said out loud
'' Paige why would she think you are better off with him wait did she know about your dad killing people?''
'' No she doesn't know because my dad told me that he never told her they did a lot bad stuff together Emily you have no idea how I feel finally saying this out loud keeping it bottle it after all these years, feels like a heavy weight been lift up from my chest'' Paige said
'' Paige I'm glad you feel better that you finally saying it out loud but how did you learn how to steal?''
'' Well my dad thought me how to steal from a young age he showed me how to hunt and how use and clean a gun along with that he should me how steal and how to pick a lock. Well I stole something from a store and I thought no one was watching me well Jenna caught me stealing so she said if I don't want the cops to find out. Jenna said to do her a favor but then turns out I had to help Melissa if not she will make my life a living hell I seriously didn't any choice that's why I couldn't tell you or anyone'' Paige said
'' Paige I had no idea they would do that to you or of what you were going through growing up but it doesn't change my feelings for you I still love you I still want to be by your side'' I said and I get close to her we both lie down on my bed Paige lies on her back and I make sure I'm arm will now not hurt her stitches I buried my face in Paige's shoulder
'' Emily I'm really happy you still want to be with me even with my family secret'' Paige said and Paige stroking my hair I start to cry
'' Emily why are you crying'' Paige said looking at me and I move my head little bit
'' I don't want to let you go right now I really thought I lost you for good when I was holding you in my arms I thought it would be the last time holding you please don't ever leave me'' I said I start to cry I hold on to Paige's shirt tight
'' Emily I would never leave you and not even death can separate us I will never stop loving you'' Paige said I buried my face into her shoulder again Paige does it again stroking my hair and Paige starts to sing.
When I was younger I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind.
He broke his own heart and I watched
As he tried to reassemble it.
And my momma swore
That she would never let herself forget.
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love if it does not exist.
But darling,
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul
That love never lasts.
And we've got to find other ways to make it alone.
Or keep a straight face.
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable distance.
And up until now I have sworn to myself
That I'm content with loneliness.
Because none of it was ever worth the risk.
Well you are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
I've got a tight grip on reality,
But I can't let go of what's in front of me here.
I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up.
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.
Oh-oh-oh-ohhh.
You are the only exception. [4x]
And I'm on my way to believing.
Oh, and I'm on my way to believing.
Paige stops singing and I look up at her
"You are a bad singer but I like that you kept singing'' I told her
'' Well I know that I didn't know what to do sooo I sang you song to comfort you but I know you want to laugh'' Paige said and I did laugh
'' Thank you for the song'' I said and we stared at each other
'' I love you'' Paige said and Paige kiss my forehead, lips, both of my cheeks, chin, my eyes and last my nose and I open my eyes
'' I love you more for every time I get to see you and you always make me nervous. And I'm not searching the sky for a reason to live 'cause I found beauty right here and found the passion to give so let me give you my heart, let me give you my tears, let me give you my life, let me give you my fears'' Paige said
'' I love you Paige those are the most beautiful words I ever heard'' I said I put my lips on Paige's lips we start kissing I put my hand on her check
Paige POV-
We stop kissing after that Emily fell asleep but I'm still holding her but that dream or what it ever was seeing Joy and my uncle felt so real and I don't know if he told me was true plus I haven't told no one about the dream. When my aunt and Taylor came to visit me in the hospital I asked them about Joy I think it can't be true maybe it was the medicine they gave me while they did surgery to me. I don't know I really hope I'm not losing my mind so I go to sleep for a bit.
'' Emily it hurts'' I wake up with pain in my stomach
'' Paige what's wrong?'' Emily asked
'' My stomach it hurts my pills are in my jacket'' I said and I put my hand on stomach
'' Paige I will get you your pills'' Emily said and I see getting off the bed goes downstairs go get my pills I left my jacket in the kitchen I couldn't hold the pain it was hard to hold it in
'' Paige drink the water and here is your pill'' Emily said I try to sit I put the pill in my mouth and I drink the water about 2 minutes later the pain slowly starts to go away
'' How you feel?'' Emily asked
'' Better now the pill helped me feel better but now I'm getting sleepy'' I said and I yawn Emily reads the label
'' Here it said only take one only if necessary'' Emily said
'' The doctor it's the side effect it will go away in few weeks'' I said we cuddle again we talked more about random stuff and then my aunt and Taylor came to pick me so Emily helps me put on my sneakers and we go down stairs I get my jacket I tell Emily I will call her later I give her a kiss goodbye. When we get home they told me my mom came to Rosewood so once I get inside the house I see her and she gives me hug but not too long because of my stiches so we all sit down and I told Sara what happen and why I did it but I didn't say exact details of Melissa and Jenna black mailed me. And tomorrow Melissa will come over and tell me if I have to go to jail or not.
Next Day-
'' Paige are you nervous?'' Sara asked
'' Yeah I really hope is not bad news''
'' Paige after this promise us you won't steal again'' Aunt Katy said we are all sitting here in the living room waiting for Melissa
'' I promise I won't steal again''
'' Good we don't want anything bad happen to you'' Taylor said about and half-hour later Melissa comes in and we all greet each other and she sits
'' So what is going to happen?'' I asked her
'' Well good news Ian drop the charges and you won't do any jail time but you have to do community services for eight months but I'm working that since you had surgery but the community services start when you get better'' Melissa said
'' Oh my god that's good news!'' Taylor said we are all happy
'' Best news'' Sara said
'' Holy shit this is great news oh fuck I can't move to much my stomach'' I said I put my hand on my stomach
'' But what will happen to Jenna?'' My aunt asked
'' Well she will go to jail for a long but she didn't say why but Paige and I have to talk alone that's why I have to take her to my office because I'm working with a partner but don't worry is nothing bad'' Melissa said so they said it's ok that I will go alone with Melissa and she will drive me back home so Melissa and I leave my house and I get into her and she starts drive someone private. She parks the car in a small park close to the woods and Melissa turns off the car.
'' Paige it's over of what I been doing for a while with Jenna and the others it got out of control and I'm sorry you got hurt and I had no idea she will do that when Jenna came into my place that morning that's when she attacked me. But when I called you asking where is it I actually got it and i saw it also I put it away then Jenna came told me I if I don't give it to her she will shoot me'' Melissa said
'' But how sure you are Jenna won't say a word''
'' I have my ways if Jenna talks she will into so much trouble with Wilden so Jenna won't say word and we won't get in trouble'' Melissa said right now I won't feel bad for Jenna since she shot me and then Melissa shows me a folder and inside has a paper saying Ian drop the charges on the top of the paper I see it says case number 223 then I remember from my dream. It could be mean something still not sure
'' Why did Ian drop the charges?'' I asked
'' Because I black mail him also he did something in the past and he mess with you he will be in trouble'' Melissa said
'' Wow Melissa I don't how to thank you for making Ian drop the charges and helping me not to go to jail thank you''
'' Paige you did enough but let me take you home" Melissa said she drives me home and when I get home Sara tells me that my aunt and Taylor went out to get pizza for dinner. Also she told me that she will move to Rosewood with her husband and my step-brothers and I said that I'm happy she will move here.
'' Did you know Joy?''
'' Yeah I remember she was a great person Joy helped me raise you but it was really sad when she died'' Sara said she gets her wallet and shows me an old picture of Joy, Uncle Dave and her in the picture everyone is smiling and Sara is holding me in her laps and I look back of the picture and I see the number 223
'' What does 223 mean?''
'' I don't know maybe a random number or lottery number but you can keep that photo'' she said it's really wired I see this number but I will try to find it's real. Later Taylor and my aunt comes home with the pizza we all eat and talk, when I get done eating I go to my room and I use my laptop and I see Toby and Caleb online so the 3 of us chat in a group chat.
To Toby, Caleb: Are you losers free tomorrow?
