Just Might (Make Me Believe)

It had been two whole weeks since Paige and Lita had last seen the girls. They had decided that today they were going to go to the meeting. The car ride to Rei's had been in silence. They were both nervous as to how they were going to be received.

"What's our story again?" Paige whispered as they reached the top of the steps.

"That we've been busy with unpacking, rearranging, and school." Lita saw the worry in her girlfriends face. "Don't worry it's not really a lie."

"All right," Paige smiled as she squeezed Lita's hand once more before letting go.

As the two of them walked to Rei's room, they got more and more nervous. They were prepared for anything that their friends might say. The worse part about attending the meeting was that they couldn't sit together, for fear that they might hold hands, or stare at each other for any amount of time.

But if you look in my eyes

And tell me we'll be alright

If you promise never to leave

You just might make me believe

They walked into the room not knowing what to expect. The only thing that they did know was that this was not going to be an easy thing to pull off. Once they walked into the room, Paige went over and sat by her sister while Lita sat by Rei. Paige already knew that this had been a big mistake.

"Where have you two been?" Rei exclaimed. It wasn't that she was necessarily mad at them, but she had been worried. "Do you know how many meeting you've missed?"

"Yes, we've been busy with work and school. There isn't anything that is happening so we didn't feel the need to come." As soon as Paige was done talking, she let out the breath that she didn't know she had been holding.

"How do you know what we've talked about?" Mina asked.

"Because we call Ruka or Ruka decides to call us." Lita did not like where this was going. The worst part was that even Rei and Mina seemed to be mad at her. "Look it isn't like we're trying to avoid you guys, but we've been busy."

"Are you s…"

"Look who made it. I thought that I saw your car out there." Haruka said as she and Michiru came in.

"Yep, we made it." Paige had never been happier to see Haruka and Michiru in her whole life. "Would you two please tell them that we have been busy and that we're just not making it up?"

"Sure, Kitten," Haruka said as she looked at Rei. "Lita and Paige have been busy with school and work. Trust me, the races are tough this time of year and Paige is just trying the best to make it."

"All right," Rei agreed because she knew that she wasn't going to get any answers, but she did notice how strange Lita and Paige were acting. It was something that she had to think on more before she came to a conclusion.

Lita and Paige could finally breathe since that was over with. Once the meeting had begun, Paige could tell that it was going to be nothing but gossip since that is what they had been talking about for at least ten minutes.

"Hey Paige," Mina looked at her, "can you answer a question?"

"Sure," Paige knew better then to agree, but thought that it would look suspicious if she didn't.

"Why did you leave?" Mina suddenly asked. "Because no one knew why you left."

This was not something that Paige wanted to talk about. The other girls didn't really need to know this. In fact, she had kept it from her own sister, but she knew that she had to tell them. Paige took a deep breath and said, "It was because I told Lita that I love her and she said that she didn't feel the same way. She said that she loved someone else. So I tried not to feel that way, but seeing her everyday didn't help me."

"Couldn't you have just dealt with it?" Ami asked remembering how upset she had been when she had found out. "It hurt not having you here."

"I did try, but it just wasn't working." Paige didn't mean to look at Lita and when she did she could tell that the other girl was hurt. At least she had told Lita part of the story and maybe that could account for something. "So I came up with a plan. It was that I would leave and then when I felt that I was over her I would come home. I was tired of being away from you guys so I came home. Well that and Ruka told me that Serena was getting married."

"You knew where she was and why she left?" Serena exclaimed.

"Duh," Haruka stated. "Who do you think gave her the money to leave with?"

"Why didn't you say anything?" Lita was angry. Yes, she had already heard some of this, but it still hurt her. She looked over at Haruka, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I made her promise not to. I didn't want any of you guys really knowing the reason why I left." Paige didn't know if Lita was upset with her or just faking it. Either way, Paige felt horrible.

Hopefully this was a confusing chapter, and I hope that I stopped at the right spot. Let me know what you guys think.
