A/N okay guys you requested it :) hope you enjoy.


'I'm telling him now. Come pick me up. Can't wait to be with you completely. I Love you xxx' Walter read and reread the message. He smiled brightly as he replied 'I'm on my way. Recipitated. Walter'


Still smiling Walter looked up and announced he was going out. Slyvester grabbed his arm as he attempted to leave. "I don't like this Walter. You're going to get your head kicked in" Slyvester said fearfully. "Totally worth it" Walter replied before frowning "How do you know where I'm going?" He asked as he put on his coat.

Slyvester scoffed "Everyone knows you and Paige have been having a affair. It's the worst kept secret in the Garage." Walter paused for a minute- he had a hunch "Toby?" He asked "Toby" Slyvester agreed. Walter sighed as he sat back down. It was impossible to keep a secret with the behaviourist about. "it's not that simple. We are in love Sly. She's leaving him now so we can be together properly."

Sean's eyes widened at the news "So let me get this straight. You've been sleeping with that glorified receptionist of yours whose sleeping with one of your other employees??" He gruffly asked before Louise chimed in "No office slut is good enough for my boy" Sean nodded in agreement. Walter's eyes narrowed. He glared at his parents before answering "Not that it's any of your business. Its not like that. We had an arrangement. Tim knew- it was his idea even! But she's not a slut! I'm the only person she does...stuff with. Tim's not.. capable" Walter looked at the ceiling blushing furiously. Refusing to look at anyone.

The room was so silent you could've heard a pin drop. Cabe and Sean looked at each other, seemingly having a silent conversation, before nodding and standing up together. "You and Paige already had chemistry even before Tim came along. I'm disappointed by the way you've gone about things but I'm not going to let you deal with Tim alone- he'll pop your little head off" Cabe said as Sean nodded in agreement "That messed up arrangement would've only ended up with trouble even if you were normal. This Paige better be worth it. Get in the car" Sean commanded.

"She's not a glorified receptionist either" Walter muttered. Sean gave him a slight tap round the head "I don't care" Sean replied.

Walter looked over to his mum before leaving. She looked back angerily "I really do love her mother" he whispered. Louise's expression softened as she replied "I know Son. But is that enough?"


Walter felt a strange feeling when they arrived. He couldn't work out what it was but something didn't feel right. Sean beeped the horn and they waited for Paige to show.

Walter had messaged Paige twice on the way over. Once to let them know Cabe and his Dad were coming with him and once to advise her to wait outside for him when they were nearly there. He could see she hadn't read them though and began getting antsy. "I'm going up" he announced after a minute or so. "The hell you are" Cabe growled. Sean agreed "Stay here. We'll go up". Walter dug through his pockets pulling out a spare keycard from Paige's room. Cabe raised an eyebrow at him but thankfully said nothing, taking the keyboard and walking away.


Walter paced back and forth in the carpark. His hands pulled at his hair in stress. 'This is getting ridiculous' he thought to himself. 'Its been at least 15 minutes- how long was this going to take? Was she OK???' Walter began to hyperventilate as he stressed himself out thinking of all the different scenarios. Had Tim attacked her? Had he kidnapped her? Had she changed her mind?? It took Walter another 10 minutes to calm himself down. He trusted Paige- she wouldn't change her mind. They loved each other. He turned around to pace again and spotted his father walking towards him holding onto a weeping Paige.


Walter ran towards them panicking about why Paige would be so distraught. He knew he struggled with EQ but surely she wasn't so distressed about the breakdown of her relationship with Tim? He stroked her face lovingly and kissed her forehead before taking her into his arms. He glanced at his dad in askance who shrugged "He didn't hold back." Sean explained "He was yelling at her when we got there. She'd locked herself in the bathroom" the concern on his face must of be obvious because Paige tightly hugged him "He didn't hurt me... Not physically anyway. His words however... he told me I was a manipulative bitch just like my mother and said its no wonder my dad couldn't cope when the women around him were so-so evil" she sobbed.

Sean put his hand on Walter's shoulder. "Unsurprisingly he had a few choice things to say about you as well. When I left Cabe was telling him he shouldn't have given Paige permission to have a open relationship with you and exspect everything to be OK. I have to say I agree- and you are smart enough that you shouldve known better. I had to get her out of there though. There's some things you just shouldn't say to a woman. No matter how hurt you are."

Walter hugged Paige to him tightly. Stroking her hair and murmering soothing nonsense he made note of the fact that Paige had nothing with her. "Wheres your things?" He asked suddenly panicked that dispite what had happened that Paige would returning to Tim. He was even more concerned when she began crying harder. Sean sighed before answering for her "I managed to grab her passport and purse but he was tearing her clothes when we arrived." Paige sniffed as she added "When he saw that you'd sent me a text after I broke up with him he went crazy. My phone and charger were the first things he smashed up".

Walter felt himself shake with rage. "I'm going up there!" he growled letting go of Paige before stomping towards the hotel. Paige gasped as Sean grabbed hold of Walter's collar yanking him back "Don't be an idiot boy! All that you're going to achieve going up there is causing more drama! If she wants us to we'll call the Guarda but otherwise you are going to stay here and comfort that girl while we wait for Cabe!" Sean snarled pointing back at Paige.

Walter looked back at his love. His father was right, Paige was more important right now. He appologised as he pulled her back into his arms. "My phone was insured" she sniffed "I just want to leave" she cried as she snuggled into his arms. Walter nodded and kissed her head "let's get you into the car then eh." He said gently guiding her towards the vehicle.


They whole ordeal seemed to have drained Paige. She fell asleep the second she sat down in the back of the car. Walter made sure was strapped in safely. He yawned himself. He wasn't suprised she was tired, dealing with emotionally taxing situations drained him too.

He walked round to the other side of the car and was about to get in when a familiar gruff voice cleared behind him. "Kid she'd better be worth it" Walter smiled "every moment" he turned around and stared in shock at Cabes face.

"Good" Cabe replied pointing at his face "I didn't get this shiner for no reason then".
