The car drove on in silence. Thoughts ran rapid through everyone's mind. Dylan and Spinner both wondered how quickly they could get back to Bardell to finish off the job. Paige stared out the window as she thought of the many ways to get out of the situation she was in right now. She wasn't sure if lying to two of the people she loved the most was worth it anymore. So far it only made her and Dylan distant and caused fights between her and Spinner. Then the thought of Dave flashed through her mind. The look on his face before she left was indelible. A look mixed with anger, confusion, and hopelessness. It wasn't fair. Why did they think it was Dave who did those horrible things to her? Dave had only been kind to her. How did they even know anything? I must have left my guard down, she thought to herself. Finally, Paige broke the silence as Dylan drove past their house. "Uhh… Dylan what are you doing? You missed our driveway."

"We're going to keep on driving until one of us figures out what to say," Dylan responded with almost no emotion in his voice at all. The young blonde's hair was messed up, which was a first for Dylan. Paige never saw her brother like this before. Never before had Dylan not know what to say. He was a Michalchuck, known for their smooth talking skills.

Paige glanced at Spinner, who was sitting behind them. He too was staring out the window. A black and blue mark was slowly starting to form a ring around his eye. He held his knuckles and wiped the blood on his jeans. Paige couldn't read the message on Spinner's face. She wasn't sure if he was mad at her or just upset.

After a few more minutes of silence Dylan spoke up once more. "Guess I have to be the big guy and start this conversation, huh?"

"Looks like it," Spinner said.

"Look, I don't know what to say. But Paige, I think you have the most talking to do, so why don't you start talking?" Dylan demanded.

"You were wrong," Paige said barely audible.

"What did you say?" questioned Dylan.

"You were wrong," Paige repeated.

"Stop it Paige. Seriously, give the whole everything's okay, nothing happened gig up! We weren't wrong! We figured out your little scheme so now you're going to have to deal with it," Spinner said forcefully.

"Chill tough guy," Dylan said trying to work the right words out in his mind. He knew Paige needed to deal with everything, but he also knew Spinner's take towards it would not help, "Paige, something happened … didn't it?"

"Dylan, thanks for being the perfect big brother that you are, but I'm fine. I can handle myself."

"Okay okay! I know you can handle yourself. You're a strong girl. Now tell me something. If you're so strong., can you handle a few simple questions from Spin and I?"

"I don't know what you two are even referring to! Why did you just go in there and hit some guy?"

"That's not some guy, Paige, and you know it," Spinner added in a little more calmly.

"Paige I love you and so does Mr. Cool Guy in the back."

"I love you too, but really come on let's go home."

"Paige! Were you raped?" asked Spinner. An eerie silence entered the car. The only sound was the road noise outside. I can deal with this with out them Paige thought. Just then memories of that night came cascading back. The look in Dean's eyes burned into the back of her mind. This is my chance, she thought. My chance to explain everything to Spinner. My chance to prove to he and Dylan both that I'm not a slut. They'll believe me. They already do, Paige thought. Thoughts of Dave also ran through her mind. What if they didn't believe her that it wasn't him. Even if she was telling the truth.

"No," Paige answered, breaking the silence.

"Then why are you acting so strange Paige? Why are you so jump and secretive? Why can't anyone come near you anymore? Why do you shut yourself up in your room? Why don't you talk to me or Hazel like you used to? Why don't you hang out with us anymore? Why Paige why!? Why don't you dress up anymore? Why don't you care anymore? Paige we're not stupid!" Spinner said almost in tears. He couldn't believe the emotions running through him. At times he wanted to kill. At others he just wanted to cry and go to sleep to make everything go away for a little while. But most importantly, he wanted to hug Paige and tell her everything was going to be alright and that he was there for her. But he knew he couldn't do that. She wouldn't let him touch her. And that killed him.

Dylan slowed the car down to look straight at his little sister. The look on her face was enough to tell him the answer to Spinner's question. She looked so broken. So out of place. So used. He knew Paige needed help and he wouldn't stop until she'd tell them for sure what had happened.

Paige knew they were expecting an answer. Just admit it! Her inner voice from within kept screaming at her. Tell them! They can help you! They love you!

"I'm going to ask you again, Paige, were you raped?" asked Spinner once more.

A sudden burst of courage, just like when she told Dean they were not leaving earlier tonight forced her to say, "yes." And there, finally, it was out. A fine part of Paige felt relieved. But now she feared the biggest question she ever thought, what next?

Dylan and Spinner knew the truth. The truth they knew all along deep in their hearts. As upsetting as it was, it was good to know for sure. "Why didn't you tell us?" asked Dylan.

"Because! You'd never believe me, would you? Well, I guess you do now. You thought I was only a slut, huh?" Paige said with a newfound anger inside of her.

Dylan turned the car around and started back home. "Paige we're here for you! Whatever that means to you, I don't know. But know that we love you and we care for you." Spinner said ,not able to find the words to sound right.

"Okay, Okay so you know my big secret. It's okay really. It's not that big of a deal. But, there's something you should know. It wasn't Dave."

"Oh yeah?" Spinner said sarcastically.

"I'm serious! Please just listen to me! It wasn't Dave!" before Paige knew it they were back at her house.

"Get inside and go to sleep. Don't wait up for me." Dylan instructed as he got out of the car and opened Paige's door. As much as Paige didn't want to she found herself getting out of the car. Dylan slammed the door shut . "Get inside!" he screamed once more as the car started up and began pulling out of the drive way.

"It wasn't him!!" Paige screamed as she ran to chase the car. She made it to the end of the drive way and stopped running. She began crying. Harder than she ever cried before. She ran into the house and quickly ran to her room. She couldn't bare for anyone to see her like this. She buried her face in her pillow until she fell asleep.

Meanwhile, Dylan and Spinner had full intentions of going back to Bardell to finish what they started earlier. They made it back to the party in record time. As they walked through the front door hushed murmurs were heard through out the living room. Spinner noticed the band had left as Dean recognized who had just arrived. He made his way over to them and quietly said, "I think I know who you're looking for….."
