The day went on, and all he thought about was Paige. Even though he knew that he needed to talk to her, he accepted the fact that he's have to wait until tomorrow to talk to her. When school was over for the day he went home. When he was opening the door to his house he heard the phone ringing, he rushed to open the door, but didn't catch it in time. He figured that if the phone call was important they would call back. Coincidentally the phone rang less than a minute later.

"Hello."

"J.T.?......This is Paige..." said her lovely voice through tears.

"Paige, what's' wrong?" asked J.T. with concern and happiness at the same time.

"J.T., I really need someone to talk to. My life is just plain going downhill." she replied.

" Spill, you know that I'm here for you, always"

"Spinner and I just got in a fight, and it doesn't look good for us." she half cried.

Even though he loved her so much he couldn't bring himself to tell her the way that he felt when he could tell that all that she wanted was Spinner. He loved her, but he loved her to much to move in on a weak spot, and take advantage of her

" Tell me all about it, I'm all ears." said J.T. meaningfully.

" Well, I told him that he should really at least try to cope with the whole Marco situation, and he went off on me. He said that if I loved him that I should accept him with all of his faults."

"I told him that I did love him, and he said that it could have fooled him, and then he walked away...J.T. i need your help. You have always been there for me when I needed you, and now I really do. I just got a letter in the mail that said my rape trial with Dean is in 3 weeks. You have to be there, and so does Spinner. I can't make it if he's not there."

"Paige, don't worry about it, we'll get Spin back for you. I know it. He'll be there right beside you when they say that....well I won't say it is going to pay for what he did to you."

"Thanks J.T....I knew that I could trust you.....Wait you said that Spinner would be there, but you didn't say that you would. You'll be there too right?"

As J.T. took all of this in he realized that he would have to move on. He was thinking about Paige's smile, and how he couldn't stand to see a frown on her face. He saw so absorbed in his thoughts at that moment that he didn't hear Paige's last question.

" J.T. you're scaring me....you are gonna be there right?"

" You don't even have to ask. I'll always be there for you. Even if you didn't want me to be there I'd be there"

"Thanks J.T. I was having a really bad day, but now it has suddenly gotten better. Hun, I love you....In the you know little brother kinda way."

That made him think...maybe that was all he felt for her. Love like an older sister.

" I love you too Paige." There it was the line that he had dreamed about the night before, but it felt different. It was like she had said, love just like that of a sibling.

" I'm glad we had this talk J.T."

" Me too, but I'm gonna go...I'm waiting on a call from Manny."

" Okay, ooh is there any love in the air?"

"No, after the whole thing with Craig she won't be ready for love for a long long time."

" Fair enough, well, I'll let you go then so that you can get your call from the fair Manny Santos. Talk to you later J.T."

" Later Paige." J.T. said as he laid down phone down.

"You, know what..? I can live with that," said J.T. to himself.

He started to walk towards the kitchen, because he figured that he would get something to eat, so that he could get his mind off of the conversation that he just taken place. He pulled out a jar of pickles, sat down on his couch, and flipped on the T.V.

"Radio Free Roscoe, I love that show!!" exclaimed J.T. as the phone once again started to ring.

J.T. jumped up off of the couch, and ran to get the phone.

"Hello J.T.'s house J.T. speaking can I help you?" joked J.T. know that the person of the other line was Manny.

"Hey, J.T...I know that I was supposed to tell you about this whole thing on the phone, but I have something else to tell you that I can't tell you on the phone. Can you come over? Mom and Dad aren't home, so they won't be eavesdropping the entire time like they always do."

"I'll do anything to make you happy Manny" said J.T.

"Ok, then come on over, and we can talk."

"I'll be right there."
