"Hey, Paige," Dylan came bursting into my room when I was staring into the mirror.
"Yeah?" I said.
"Uh...are you okay?"
"I'm fine," I looked at him blankly. "What did you want?"
"You have a phone call," he said, handing the cordless phone to me.
"Thanks," I said as he closed the door behind him. "Hello?" I said into the phone.
"Paige," Spinners voice said. "What's up?"
"Nothing much, Spin, how about you?" I asked.
"I was just wondering if you wanted to do something later?" he asked.

"Like what?" I asked.
"We could hang out here, or we could go to a movie...whatever you want."
I hesitated. I wanted to. "Sure," I said.
"Cool. So I'll meet you at your house and we'll go from there?" he asked.
"Okay," I said, "I'll be ready."
I hung up the phone. I went downstairs to meet Spinner.
"Was that Spinner on the phone?" Mom asked.
"Yeah," I answered. "We're going to go catch a movie or something. Is that okay?"
"Of course," she said. "Just be careful."
I nodded and headed out the door. I sat on the porch step, and Dylan sat down next to me.
"What's going on?" he asked.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"You can't answer a question with a question," he said. "Something's going on with you. What is it?"
I stared ahead, silently.
"You're my little sister, you can trust me. What's going on?"
"I don't know...just normal teenager stuff, I guess," I answered him.
He looked into my eyes, searching them for an answer. For truth. "Paige," his tone meant business now.
Just then, Spinner came walking up the driveway, saving me from Dylan's piercing stare.
"Hey, Spin," I said, standing and hugging him.
"Hey," he said. He looked at Dylan. "Hey, Dylan."
"Hey, Spinner," Dylan said. He stood and walked back inside the house.

Spinner and I walked to the movie theatre. "Paige, are you okay?"
"Why wouldn't I be?" I asked him.
"Because you have that distant look on your face, the one you get when you think about..." his voice trailed off, but I knew what he was going to say.
"About Dean?" I finished for him.
"Yeah," he said. "Are you still worried that he'll come after you? I thought you were over that by now/"
I looked at him in disbelief. "Over that? How can I ever be over that, Spinner? He took something that belonged to me...not him, not you...me. You expect me to just get over it in a year?"
"Paige, calm down," he said. "I didn't mean it like that."
I realized what I was doing. I was acting crazy. "I'm sorry," I said. "I guess I still get upset when somebody mentions Dean."
"You don't have to be sorry, just talk to me. Let me be there for you. We're not all like Dean, you know?"
I nodded. "I don't know what's going on. Maybe I'm just tired or something, I don't know."
"Do you want me to walk you home?" he asked.
"No," I said, shaking my head. "I don't want to go home. I just want you to love me."
He looked at me. "I do love you, Paige, and I'm trying my best to be supportive...but I don't know what to do. I can't read your mind."
"I know," I said. "I just don't feel like talking about it, that's all."
"When you do, call me, okay? I want to be there for you."
"I know you do, Spin," I said. "I'll call you when I feel like I can talk."
I wanted desperately to talk to Spinner about how I felt, about my insecurities. But I just couldn't. I didn't feel like he would understand.

Authors Note: I don't know if its going to stay a Spinner/Paige fic or not. So, I need your help! Should Paige stay with Spinner...or should she be paired with someone else? If she should be with someone else...then who?
