Ellie wasn't sure what she had been thinking. Telling Paige she'd talk to her later had been a huge mistake. Sure, she'd like nothing more than to tell Paige where Ash was and that it was her fault she was there, but would Ash want her to do that? And could she trust Paige not to blab to the whole school the second she finished telling her?
But Ellie knew she had to tell Paige. She couldn't handle these comments anymore. It was hard enough knowing where Ash was and that it was her fault she was there. If only she hadn't told! Paige didn't help matters either. It was so hard, not being able to talk to anyone but Marco. As if he didn't have his own problems.
The day went by so slowly. But when the moment came when the final bell rang, and Ellie would have to go talk to Paige, she started wishing class had lasted just a little bit longer. She headed to the lobby of the school, and found Paige.
To Ellie's surprise, Paige was there, looking really worried.
"Come on Paige, let's go for a walk," Ellie said. Paige complied, walking alongside Ellie without a word of argument.
