Paige and the rest of her band were rehearsing in Ashley's garage. The rest of the group were getting impatient with her as she kept missing her cues to come in and start.

"Paige! Get your head in the game!" Hazel hollered.

"I'm sorry, I'm trying!"

"We can't waste our time, do you think the other bands are just sitting around?"

Hey, what if we try one of the songs Paige wrote?" Ashley chimed in.

"Wait really? You wrote something?" Ellie asked surprised.

"It's nothing just somethings I would say out loud while just messing around."

"Let's here it."

Paige reluctantly started playing while the others listened. "Okay some if the lyrics are still in the experimental phase so no judgement."

I hung up the phone tonight

Something happened for the first time

Deep inside, it was a rush

What a rush

Why do I keep running from the truth?

All I ever think about is you

You've got me hypnotized, so mesmerized

And I just got to know

Do you ever think, when you're all alone

All that we could be, where this thing could go?

Do you catch your breath when I look at you?

Are you holding back, like the way I do?

'Cause I've tried and tried to walk away

But I know this crush ain't goin' away

As she stopped the others looked impressed except for a Ashley who had already heard her. "Told you she could write."

"She was right that was amazing."

"Who inspired that?" The red head asked.

"It was...It was Spinner. I wrote back while we were together." She felt guilty lying but this did give her an idea of dealing with her current problem. She took out her phone and started texting.

Paige: hey u busy 2 night?

Almost immediately she got a reply.

Spinner: nope you?

Paige: you wanna come over, have somethings I think we need to work out

Spinner: sure c u 2night

Later after practice Paige arrived home. She had stopped at the drug store to pick up somethings, mostly feminine things but one item, inside a brown paper bag, she was determined not to let anyone see as she snuck upstairs. Her parents weren't home, as usual, and Dylan was currently away on something also. As she got to her room she crammed the brown bag in her dresser drawer. Sometime later Spinner finally showed up.

"Hey so you said you wanted to talk?" He said getting right to the point.

"I think we all have been out of it ever since the shooting."

"Yeah tell me about it, my best friend is in the hospital and will probably never walk again, Ashley has been in some goth girl funk, and that Emma girl is pregnant. Things are weird now."

"I just thought...maybe what some of us need is something to get our minds off what happened...if you know what I mean."

"I don't think I know what you mean."

She sighed annoyed. She stood up moving over to her bed and laying there seductively for Spinner who got excited.

"My parents won't be home for awhile."

"Wait! You invited me over for sex? Not getting back together just friends with benefits situation?"

"Is that a problem?"

"No not at all!"

He quickly removed his shirt, hopping in to the bed with her kissing her.

"Wow." Was all Spinner could say afterwards.

"You weren't horrible yourself."

"So is the his a one time thing or what's the situation?"

"We'll see how things play out from here, don't have to make any big decisions right now. But it's getting late they should be home soon. Maybe you should go."

"Ok yeah I...I guess I'll talk to you later."

After he left Paige walked over to her to desk, she took a marker and made a star on the calendar on the day's date on the calendar. She went to retrieve the brown paper bag from her drawer. She unraveled the bag pulling out its contents and reading the information on the package.

"Detects pregnancy in sixteen days."

She counted out on the calendar the sixteen days and circled the date.

"I need something or someone to distract from everything, to make me forget about all these problems." She thought to herself as she stuffed the test back into the bag and back into the drawer.
