Manny sat quietly at her desk, while she eyed the walls in her room. She placed a hand on her forehead, hoping there was some hot temperature coming long. She wished this day was over, and she wished it now!
She abruptly stood and walked towards her bedroom door. She opened it quietly, checking if there was any noise signaling that her mother was home. She sighed with relief at the sound of silence and began walking down the hall of the second floor.
This has been the worst month of my life… Gosh, finding out about Spinner and the way he kissed her… Why the hell does Paige do this to me! She… isn't worth…living… she isn't!
Manny stopped and put her head down. She stopped the tears forming her eyes by rubbing her eyes angrily. She looked up and continued walking down the hall until she reached the stairs.
She stopped suddenly when she heard the doorbell ring alarmingly through the house. She hesitated to get the door, she didn't want any visitors, especially at a time like this. The only thing she felt was hatred, sorrow and jealousy, and so many other feelings that she wished were sucked out of her.
She walked to the door, and peeked into the door hole, and saw none other than Paige, arms wrapped over her chest.
Manny's face paled and she took a deep breath.
"This cannot be happening.." she whispered before opening her wooden door.
As she opened, the glimpse of Paige, made her furrow her eyebrows with disgust, she rolled her eyes and began to close the door when Paige caught it with her free palm.
"Manny!" Paige exclaimed as she pulled back the door. "Wait…".
Manny looked at the ground and felt her face heat up. She sighed and opened the doorway further letting Paige step foot in her house.
Paige walked inside the small hall and entered the family room at the right. She looked around the room shortly before sitting down on the black-leather couch.
Manny followed after her and glared at Paige as she sat down the couch across from her.
Paige glanced at Manny's expression and shifted uncomfortably in her seat.
"Manny… Hun, I'm very sorry." she began cupping her hands together. "Please… forgive me, I didn't mean for this to happened, honestly."
Manny scoffed loudly and quickly stood up. The impact surprised Paige and she stood up as well.
"OH, right! Like when you talked trash when I was pregnant from Craig! And when you told Ashley that I was pregnant!" Paige's expression angered her even more. "Yes, I know! I found out 2 months after the abortion, which I let go because… I though 'Hey, it's Paige. No point fighting the ' " she spitted out the last word with disgust that Paige's face paled.
Another moment of awkward silence engulfed the room before Paige cleared her throat. She picked up the Gucci purse that rested on the couch and looked at Manny.
"I guess… you don't forgive me…" Paige muttered as he eyed the door. She turned away and gave a few steps before turning around to look at Manny. "You know… there is something d-different ab-about you…" she stammered at her words, afraid of what Manny's reaction would take.
On the contrary, Manny's face slipped into a small smile. She looked down and gave a short laugh.
"I know… what's gotten into me?" her eyes shot at Paige and gave a small smirk.
I know what to do… My first attempt...
"Paige… I forgot to return you something, follow me upstairs to my room?" Manny asked with a high voice that haunted Paige's ears.
Paige hesitated before answering but then shrugged and began to follow Manny out the family room door.
Manny reached the steps and began rising them, hearing Paige's cowboy boots following.
Manny rested on the top of the stairs, waiting for Paige to do the same. As they both were on the stair, Manny glanced at Paige who had a questioned look on her face.
"Aren't we going to your ro--AH!"
Paige stopped as she felt Manny's hands push heavily on her chest. Paige felt her body fall back and hit curl into a ball as she fell down the steps, her head falling down each step.
Manny gave out a small cry of laughter as Paige's body slumped onto the ground. Dark red blood appeared under her head.
Manny's face changed and a horrified expression appeared. She went down the steps slowly, hearing taps that arose when she went down each step.
When her foot touched the ground, she stepped over Paige's silence body and knelt down.
She looked over Paige's face which slightly began to pale.
Did… I kill…her?
A sound of keys unlocking the door echoed around the room, and the door opened, Manny's mom appeared hanging her coat on the coat hanger until she caught the sight of Paige's body on the floor, the blood, and Manny looking at her mother with a shocked expression.
"Manuela!" Mrs. Santos cried as she ran towards her daughter. She fell down beside her and stared at Paige's body, her face matching Paige's.
"Mom, she fell down the stairs! Is she dead!" Manny asked with panic in her voice.
"I'll call the ambulance!" Her mother yelled as she stood to get her house phone.
As her mother left the room, Manny looked down at Paige's body and gave a short smile.
She raised her hand to Paige's forehead and caressed it. It felt cold as ice.
"Oh…Paige…" she muttered feeling triumph swim inside her... leaving her a small grin.
