"I...okay." Manny began. "I can't believe I'm going to say this, but,
Paige..." Manny paused. "You didn't hit JT last night."
Paige looked annoyed. "What are you talking about, of COURSE I did."
"But, it – it wasn't your fault."
This interested Paige as she began to pay closer attention. Manny slowly continued. "Well, um..."
FLASHBACK
"You want a party favor?" Sully said as he pulled something out of his jacket. It was a small bag. It had drugs in it. Manny couldn't believe what she was seeing. "Sully, what is wrong with you?" "Geez, chill. This is a decent party." Sully threw the drugs on the table and walked back over to his friends. Manny stared at the bag. Eventually, she slyly took one of the pills out and began to turn and walk back over to the group. But when she saw Emma coming this way, obviously to get a drink, she quickly dropped the drug in one of the already poured drinks and walked past Emma toward JT and Chris.
NEXT FLASHBACK
Without thinking, Manny ran outside and bumped into Paige and Spinner. "Ow!" Paige yelled. "I've already got a terrible headache, make it worse, why don't you?!" Manny felt completely out of it. "I – I'm – I'm sorry, Paige. I –" "We – are leaving, Spinner. Now!" Paige began to walk toward the car she was driving but tripped over her own feet on the way. Spinner ran over. "Paige, are you okay?" "Just fine." she managed to say under her breath as she got up. "Um, hey why don't I drive?" "No. I think I can drive." "Paige, I don't think you can –" "Spinner! I'm driving! Now come on."
As the two began to walk toward the car, Manny watched. As bad as she was feeling, she could tell Paige was worse. And just then, it hit her.
"It – it's all my fault." Manny whispered to herself.
END OF FLASHBACKS
"...and so, I think you got that drink." Manny finished.
Paige couldn't believe her ears. Was she serious? Was Manny actually responsible for this whole drug ordeal? Well, technically it was Sully. But that didn't excuse Manny from dropping them into a free drink! "So – so you were the one that made me feel terribly sick?!" Paige yelled angrily. "You were the one responsible for my close come to death a – and not being able to sleep all last night?!" Manny couldn't even bear to face Paige. But she still listened. "And you were the one...that put JT in this hospital." Paige said as she quieted down. Manny could only stare down at her hands, not knowing what to say. Finally, she looked up at Paige like she was about to say something, but she was interrupted. Not by words, but by the expression on Paige's face. It showed that she wanted nothing to do with Manny for the rest of her life. With that, she turned and quickly walked back over to the car. Spinner followed.
"Paige! What are you doing?"
But Paige didn't respond. She just climbed in the car and looked like she was ready for a quick getaway, but just leaned her head against the steering wheel and began to cry softly.
Manny watched Spinner open the passenger door and get inside to talk to Paige. It broke her heart to see this. She didn't want to see this. She wanted to see anything but this. 'I never should have told her.'
Back in the hospital, Emma left JT's room, once the nurse had told her visiting hours were over. She calmly walked out of the waiting room, and toward the elevator. Somehow, she felt better than she had felt before. Apparently, all she really needed was time to talk to JT. She hoped he had gotten the message that she really was sorry. But now, something else began to bother Emma. She began to think about it as she stepped into the elevator. 'It couldn't be Manny, could it? I'm so angry with her, why would I feel bad about what happened? God, where is she anyway? Oh, great, now I'm wondering what happened to her.' As she had finally reached the first floor, she left the elevator and began to walk out the front entrance. She waited in the parking lot for her mother to pick her up. But in the distance she saw a very strange sight. On one end of the parking lot, two familiar teenagers were sitting in a car. They seemed really freaked out. But the stranger part was Manny – sitting all alone on the opposite end, watching them.
'Oh, come on.' Emma thought. But her thoughts were interrupted right when her cell phone rang. "What the...who is calling now?" Emma said to herself as she answered the phone. "Hello?"
"Em, no questions, okay? But I just need your help – right, now." A voice on the other line said. Emma couldn't believe this person was calling her. And what was this help? And right now? 'Oh, god, not now.'
