"Paige...?" Spinner looked out on the dance floor. It couldn't be! Paige could never do that, not after…she was with HIM! But it was the girl he saw in the arms of another young woman was Paige, HIS girlfriend!
As quickly as he could, Spinner broke through the crowded dance floor, making his way to the two girls in the middle. He was NOT going to stand for this!
"What the Hell!" Jo shouted startled. One moment, she could have sworn she had died and gone to heaven, the next she had been pushed roughly into the crowd and away from Paige. Then she saw him, Spinner, coming towards her, his hands clenched into fists, his face red with anger.
"You stupid bitch! You freak!" He shouted.
"Spinner!" Paige yelled, looking as shocked as Jo.
"I knew it! I KNEW you were puttin' the moves on Paige!" He prepared to swing at the red head.
"Spinner don't!" Paige yelled. But there was no need, Jo ducked her head quickly from Spinner's blow and gave him a swift punch in the stomach. Spinner doubled over.
By now, everyone had stopped dancing and formed a circle, trapping the two inside it. "Fight!" some random dude screamed.
"You crazy bitch, I'll get you for that!" Spinner grabbed Jo's shoulders.
"Ahhh!" Jo shrieked in surprise, before throwing Spinner over her shoulders to the floor. The girls in the club all cheered, while the men booed at Spinner's weakness.
"Hey HEY!" A voice called out above everyone else "Break it up!" A buff looking guy with a tattoo of a Dragon of his shoulder broke through the crowed. "All right that's ENOUGH!" He came over to Jo and placed a hand on her shoulder, knowing she was a tough chick he didn't have to tip-toe around her feelings. "That's enough! I will NOT have this in my club! If you two want to duke it out, by all means, kill each other, but take it outside!" With that he gave the smaller girls a bit of a shove towards the door.
"Jo!" Alex called following her outside, Paige right behind her.
Spinner got off the ground and immediately made to grab Paige's arm. "We're getting' out of here!"
"Get away from me!" Paige jumped back.
"I said come on!"
"You can't talk to me that way, YOU DON'T OWN ME!" And with that Paige ran down the street as quick as she could, her eyes blinded with her tears.
"Paige!" Jo ran after her.
"You bastard!" Alex screamed at Spinner.
"Spinner!" Craig yelled coming out of the club. "It's a mad house in there! What the hell is going on!"
"Spinner you idiot!" Jimmy yelled following Craig.
"Whose side are YOU on Jimmy!" Spinner yelled back.
"Apparently not yours, you insensitive ass!" Alex yelled.
"Who the hell are you!" Spinner and Craig said at once looking as Alex.
Paige leaned against a brick wall to rest. She was tired from running and exhausted from crying.
Its not fair…For the first time in a long time she was having fun, enjoying herself, with somebody she cared about…and for once she felt happy…but than he had to come and ruin it…
"It's not fair…"
"It isn't…is it, Spirit…"
"You are such a jerk!" Alex yelled at Spinner "What the hell is your problem?"
Marco and Jimmy were looking in the direction, where Jo and Paige had run off, wondering if it was the best idea to follow them and leaving Spinner to face Alex's wrath. Craig was kind of looking from one to the other, still wondering what the hell was going on.
"What do you mean!" Spinner yelled back "I don't HAVE a problem!"
"Oh, yes you do!" Alex "Now, TELL ME! What's your deal!"
"I don't HAVE one! It's YOU and your GIRLFRIEND who are whacked out! Not me!"
Alex was astonished "…How dare you!"
"Can somebody please tell me what the hell is going on?" Craig stood there looking from one face to another.
"How DARE you!" Alex yelled again. "For one, I am NOT lesbian. And secondly, Jo is a great person, no matter what you might think! WTF is wrong with you! How can you just be like that!"
"Why is it, that everyone thinks I'm the one with the problem! This is even worse then when Marco went all gay on me!" Spinner ranted, pretty much yelling at the sky more than anything.
"Duh!" Jimmy chimed in "Everyone thinks you have a problem, Spinner, because you do!"
"You're a bloody Homophobe!" Alex screeched.
"Its not my fault Jo is GAY!" Spinner screamed back at her.
Craig grabbed a hold of Marco's shoulder "Wait…Jo is gay?" he asked, eyes wide. Marco nodded.
"Damn…" said Craig sounded gravely disappointed "Well that blows my chance…" he shook his head. Marco shook his as well. This wasn't going well at all. Jo and Paige were off somewhere and all Spinner could do was throw a hissy fit.
"Of course it's not your fault, its nobody's FAULT!" Alex said calming down somewhat "But that doesn't give you an excuse to give Jo all that crap, she's had enough as it is…just because you're afraid…" the thought made her clench her fists "You can't treat people like that!"
"Dean..." Paige choked out, deathly frightened.
"Hey, pretty Spirit." Dean leaned against the wall casually. "I've been waiting for you…"
"For…me…?" She knew she had to run, and fast! But she had already run so far and she was so tired. She was still breathing heavily.
"That's right, Gorgeous." A smirk creeped across his face. "We all have…"
Paige then notice three other guys behind Dean, they were hidden in the shadows and were now stepping out into the light.
'Holy shit…' she thought and she began to slowly back away.
"I wouldn't do that, Spirit…there is nowhere to run…and nobody will hear you…" Dean said as he stepped closer to her.
"Paige!" a voice suddenly rang through the air, a voice Paige was sure belonged to an angel.
For a moment she thought she had lost her. After yelling at Spinner, Paige took off very fast. Jo tried to keep up as fast as she could but once Paige started winding through the darker streets, it was difficult. And Jo was trying to make sure she remembered which way they were going so they could find the way back. But that unfortunately slowed her down.
For a moment, Jo didn't know where the hell she was. "Oh shit…" she said to herself "Now not only is Spinner going to have my head, and the best night of my life ruined, now I am lost!" She waved her arms in frustration. She couldn't go back without Paige. She walked to the nearest corner, stood under the lamppost and looked around, there was nobody in sight. She knew she couldn't possibly be safe standing there so she took a few steps closer to the wall.
Jo was just about to turn around to get the others when she heard somebody. Some voices. She then saw the corner that must have led into another alley, that's where the voices were coming from. She slowly, so not to be heard, stepped closer to the alley enterance.
"I wouldn't do that, Spirit…" she heard a voice say.
'Spirit?' Where had she heard that name said before? 'Wait a minute…those pictures! The ones that Dean guy…' her mind wondered to what the message on the back of that photograph said "There's plenty more where this came from, Spirit." DEAN!
"Paige!" she shouted and before she knew what she was doing she dashed from where she hid and into the alley. She saw Dean He had forced Paige to the ground and was hold her arms above her head.
"Jo!" Paige, finally finding her voice.
"Well look who we have here…if it isn't the new Red head at Degrassi." said Dean.
"Let her go!" Jo said, not backing down as the boys took a step closer.
"Ya know I was hoping to run into you sooner or later, Red." Dean said, not loosening his grip on Paige in the slightest. "Now maybe we can have some real fun."
"Sorry, I'm not interested!" Jo yelled. And with that she made to snatch Paige from Dean, but he pulled away so that she went past him and into the arms of one of his friends.
"Let go of me!" Jo started kicking and scratching and biting. There was no way she was going to go through the hell of her past again!
"Cut the crap Spin! That's enough!" Marco shouted finally "We can't just wait arou-" he was cut off by a blood chilling shriek from a distance.
"What was…" Craig asked.
"It came from…" Jimmy didn't have to finish his sentence. Everyone knew where the horrid sound came from.
"Come on! Run!" Jimmy, Marco ran down the street as quickly as they could. Alex who immediately forgot her argument with Spinner, followed close after them. Craig did as well, for he didn't know what else to do.
"Hey! Wait!" Spinner followed in pursuit.
"Come on hurry!" Jimmy said "Paige! Jo!" he called out but there was no answer.
"Jo! Come on Jo!" Marco called.
"JO! Answer me!" Alex yelled.
The streets were dark and deserted. Nobody answered their calls.
"Guys they aren't here…" Craig said sounding defeated.
"Yes she is, she MUST be!" Alex said refusing to give up so quickly "I know I heard her from over here!"
"Paige! Jo!" Jimmy tried again.
They searched around the corner and in the alleys but neither Jo or Paige were in them. Or so it seemed. Marco was just stepping out of the alley when he heard it. "…help…" a small voice, barely a whisper choked out. Not waiting to call the others over he scrambled over a row trashcans, tipping them over, trying to get through. "Jo!" he cried. And there she was. Lying there, battered and bruised was Jo.
"Guys! I found her!"
"Jo!" Alex yelled rushing over and immediately was at her friend's side. "Oh Jo…Jimmy! Call an ambulance!"
Alex knelt down on her hands and knees, looking around frantically as she did. Paige was nowhere to be seen.
