It's been the longest winter without you

After all that we've been through
Going coming thought I heard a knock
Who's there no one
Thinking that I deserve it
Now I realize that I really didn't know
If you didn't notice you mean everything
Quickly I'm learning to love again
All I know is I'm gonna be OK
Thought I couldn't live without you
It's gonna hurt when it heals too
It'll all get better in time
And even though I really love you
I'm gonna smile cause I deserve to
It'll all get better in time….
Mrs Peck: You love him too.
Cassie: I think I do, I didn't think I will love somebody like I love Tim, but Peter is just great.

We arrive at the party; Cassie hasn't stop smiling I think it was good to bring Peter for the weekend. But I just so nervous about this, it will be a lot of my friends for high school, I know I told you I didn't have lots of friends, but I talk to people in class or swim team and they don't know Im gay. And Ems looks hot as hell. We enter the party and I see lots of guy from my high school and some girls.
Rigo: Hey Gael.
Gael: Hey Rigo how are you?
Rigo: Wow are you too back together.
Gael: No, she is here visiting her parents, here this is Holly my date.
Rigo: Hi nice to meet you. Paige, you look good.
Paige: Thanks you took.
Rigo: So are you gonna introduce me to this beautiful friend of you.
Cassie: Hi Rigo, this Ems, Paige girlfriend. And this is Peter my boyfriend.
Rigo: Wow nice Paige if you need help with something let me know.
Paige: I need a drink, I will bring you one Emily.
Rigo: What did I do?
Cassie: Asshole.
Emily: I will go.
Cassie: Stay I will go.
I knew this will be hard but hate people making jokes or said stupid things about this is like is not serious and I just could not care less what they think.
Cassie: Sorry about that, are you okey.
Paige: Yeah, you should have let me introduce her myself.
Cassie: I know sorry but Rigo you know him he is this gross guy always making sex jokes.
Paige: And he did.
Lindsey: Paiiiiiiii hey beautiful how are you.
Cassie: Oh great, I will take this and give this to Ems.
Paige: Lins hey girl, long time no see you, did you stay here or where did you go?
Lindsey: Phily, full scholarship and you?
Paige: Phoenix.
Lindsey: Sorry about your dad, I came here for my mother's birthday tomorrow.
Paige: Oh said happy birthday for me, your mom is awesome.
Lindsey: You look gorgeous what did you do?
Paige: You know the sun and heat at Phoenix makes me this way.
Lindsey: OMG I miss you, my teammates are bad, I told you to come to Phily with me.
Paige: Yeah I know but I could be so far from home.
EMILY POV:
I start to think this isnt going to be a good night for us, Paige looks so uncomfortable.
Emily: Is she okey?
Cassie: Yeah, here are your drinks guys, beer for you baby, vodka for you Ems and vodka for you Holly.
Gael: Hey where is mine.
Cassie: Sorry no water or anything without alcohol.
Gael: Great.
Emily: So how is that girl Paige is talking?
Cassie: Nobody.
Gael: Oh you still jealous.
Cassie: Im not, is nobody.
Emily: Ok wait a minute explain.
Cassie: Shut up Gael.
Gael: Is funny, that's Lindsey she was a teammate of Paige and Cassie, but she and Paige were the best so the coach always make them have the same room and classes together and be each other team and works and stuff, and Cassie was so jealous of here.
Cassie: I wasn't.
Gael: Come on, is not like she stole your friend, she went with you, even though she had a full scholarship in Phily like Lindsey.
Cassie: What? She didn't tell me that.
Gael: Sorry, I didn't know she didn't tell you.
Emily: Is she gay?
Gael: Lindsey, I don't think so why?
Emily: She totally is.
Cassie: What?
Gael: Actually I don't remember any boyfriend.
Emily: She is, and she knows.
Holly: I don't get this, what does she knows?
Emily: That Paige is gay know.
Holly: How do you know?
Emily: Because she is flirting and Paige is flirting back.
Cassie: Im gonna kill her.
Emily: I don't think I had seen Paige flirt with other girl before.
Cassie: I can kill her for you.
Peter: First how you are gonna kill Paige or Lindsey?
Gael: good one.
Cassie: Shut up.
This is different for Paige being talking to other girl and flirting, and I don't think she even knows she is gay too, she will find out soon enough because she is walking this way with her.
PAIGE POV:
I didn't know I miss Lindsey so much she is so funny and had this amazing humor, I gave her my number so if she is in town or anything she can call me anytime, yeah this party is good I can reconnect with old good friends like Lindsey. I remember Tim always make us spend time together he made jokes about how we were like a married couple because always had the same classes and stuff together, and I also remember Cassie hate that, so I know she is not happy now.
Paige: Cassie you run away.
Cassie: I bring the drinks you suppose to bring to our friends.
Paige: Sorry about that, well Lindsey this is Peter Cassie boyfriend. And this is Emily my girlfriend.
Lindsey: Nice to meet you, well Pai so finally you decided? She is gorgeous.
Paige: Decide what?
Lindsey: Tim knew about me so that's why he always makes us work together.
Paige: Wait are you gay.
Lindsey: You didn't know? Come on everybody knows.
Emily: Yeah her gay radar is not good.
Lindsey: You knew for far away don't you.
Emily: Yeah.
Paige: Oh, sorry.
Lindsey: Is okey, Im sorry I didn't tell you in high school maybe we could had something.
Paige: Oh.
EMILY POV:
And in that moment Im angry, Im right here you bitch. Of course I know you had been touching my girlfriend arm and hugging her like twenty times and eyed fucking her. Oh God Im jealous I never being jealous since Alison.
*whisper
Peter: I think Emily thinks you should kill Lindsey.
Cassie: I will.
Emily: I think I need another drink.
Holly: I will go with you, and bring you something Gael.
Gael: Thank you Hols.
I walk away because I didn't want to make a scene not here not because I know Paige is innocent she doesn't know, but she need to learn, and I know this is all new for her but I think I had enough with Payton.
Holly: Are you okey?
Emily: Yeah.
Holly: I don't think she knows that she was flirting; she thought it was an old friend.
Emily: I know, but she needs to learn, because some girls are just like her, they don't care they will go for it.
Holly: Yeah. But I don't think that drinking your third shot will help.
Emily: Oh god I didn't know I was doing that.
Holly: Yeah I can see that, lets go back and take your girlfriend for a dance away from that girl.
Emily: I will go to the bathroom first. Can you wait?
Holly: Sure.
PAIGE POV:
Im having so much fun, I knew Tim knew about me but Lindsey gay? OMG yeah we could be a thing in high school if I was out, because I love being with Lindsey she is so funny and pretty and we had a great time together.
Paige: Hey C where is Emily?
Cassie: She went to the bathroom with Hols.
Holly: Actually she needs some air and went outside.
Lindsey: Hey you, you said you gonna give one dance so lets go.
Cassie: Paige? Really?
Paige: I.. one dance then I need to find Emily.
EMILY POV:
Im not feeling good, too much alcohol, I see some chair behind that tree so I will sit there and take some air.
Rigo: Hey Emily, you don't look good.
Emily: I don't feel good.
Rigo: Here drink this.
Emily: What is it?
Rigo: is like a Energy drink, just drink it.
RIGO POV:
I give the water with a small pill inside so she can be relax and clam, but she just took a sip and throw it in her shirt.
Emily: Great, now im all wet and is cold.
Rigo: Let me help you.
Emily: What are you doing? Don't do that.
GAEL:
I hear somebody said stop stop and then I see Emily behind the tree.
Rigo: Relax im just helping you take your shirt off is all wet.
Emily: No, I don't want too.
Gael: What the fuck are you doing, let Emily alone your asshole.
CASSIE:
We all go outside looking for Emily, Gaels go first, and I said to Paige that we are going home so she needs to said good bye to that whore. I hear Gael screaming at Rigo and then he start to punch him in the face and Peter runs to stop Gael.
Peter: Gael stop he is bleeding.
Gael: He was trying to touch Emily.
I run to Emily and she is all wet and crying.
Cassie: Are you ok?
Emily: I want to go home, im so cold.
And then Peter took her shirt off and give it to Emily and then I see her running to us.
Paige: What happen?
Gael: Were the hell where you?
Paige: Saying good bye to Lindsey.
Gael: You are so stupid sometimes your girlfriend was almost attack and you were inside you are and idiot.
Holly: Gael, calm down just lets go.
PAIGE POV:
I see Emily crying, Cassie hugging her, Peter shirt less and Gael has blood in his shirt.
Paige: Im sorry are you ok?
Emily: Yeah. Thank you Gael.
Gael: Anytime.
Emily: Can I sleep in your room Cassie.
Cassie: Sure.
We go inside the car and Emily is sleeping in Cassie arms, Peter is in the other side of Cassie without shirt. So I go in the last sit alone.
Paige: Is she really ok?
Peter: Do you think he gave him anything?
Cassie: Well maybe but she is all wet so she didn't drink it.
Paige: Can I stay in a chair in the room with you too, I want to make sure she is ok I will go back first time in the morning I know she is mad.
Gael: You know she is mad? Of course she is mad, sometimes you just make all this mistakes and stupid decisions, she is gonna run from you someday.
Holly: Gael.
Paige: I didn't know this will happen I was talking to my friends you were with her.
Gael: She is not my girlfriend is not my job to take care of entertain her, you just do the same you did with me and Cassie, if you can't somebody will do it that's you.
Paige: Im sorry, im sorry.
Cassie: Enough Gael, she is feeling bad already. And we are home, anyway my parents will have a bbq/pool party for us tomorrow and you are all invited it some around 2 pm be here. Thanks Holly, see you tomorrow.
Im feeling really bad about all this, but I don't know what to do so I just go out of the car help Cassie with Emily, she is so sleepy that Peter has to take her and carry her to bed. I help Cassie change Emily and I sit next to her in a chair crying in silence.
Cassie: Don't worry Paige it was a mistake, nothing happen Gael was there.
Paige: Yeah I know.
Cassie: I tired, Im gonna sleep, you should too.
I stay there talking her hand watching her sleep and sometimes move until I don't know what time I fall sleep with my head in the Emily's hand.
EMILY POV:
I wake up and I feel a huge hangover and then I feel a head in my hand and I see her, right there sleeping next to me.
Cassie: Yeah she is gonna be in pain for sleeping in that chair, but she never went to her bed. And I know your head is in pain so here are some pills and water. I gonna take a shower is late and I have to help my parents with the bbq.
Emily: Thank you for everything.
Cassie: My pleasure.
She went to the bathroom and I start to touch Paige head so she will wake up and talk.
Emily: Hey, good morning.
Paige: Hey, how are you feeling, do you need something, I can make breakfast or something.
Emily: I feel fine.
Paige: Im sorry.
Emily: For what?
Paige: Being a complete idiot, not being there with you, not take care of you, being a stupid, asshole I don't know just be this bad girlfriend like always.
Emily: Don't cry.
Paige: Is just I made all this mistakes and Gael is right someday you are gonna run from me.
Emily: Im not gonna run I love you.
Paige: You shouldn't.
Emily: Paige everybody makes mistake is the next part you trying to fix it that makes me wanna stay. You spend all night here with me even though I didn't want you here; you sit in that chair sleep really uncomfortable but stay.
Paige: I want to make sure you were ok, and I couldn't leave you. I want to hug you all night make you forget everything.
Emily: You can hug me now.
She quickly hugs me and starts crying again, so I just kiss her to calm her down.
Cassie: I can see you two made up, but is my bed girls so can you two stop.
Paige: Hey.
Cassie: You look like shit.
Paige: Love you too.
Emily: lets get ready for the bbq.
We go out of the room but I had another idea in mind, shower make up sex for us.
