Chapter 04 – 'For Eternity.'
Paige let out a sigh and stared at the ceiling above her. How much longer now?
Oh right, only 1 day. Paige rolled her eyes and shifted onto her side, could there parents never come up with anything else then grounding her as punishment? It was not like it was going to work anyway.
She shivered slightly as she remembered yesterday night. Her dad had finally calmed down enough to start talking to her again and he had came upstairs to 'have a talk with his daughter' which naturally ended up in her getting a big lecture. Downstairs the doorbell rang and Paige sat up curiously, wondering who it was. She got to her feet and walked over to her window. If she opened it and looked down she could just see who was standing at the front door. She opened her window and bit her lip when she saw the drainpipe which hadn't been fixed yet. Her dad had promised to look at it, but had been too busy with his shifts to fix it.
When Paige looked down she noticed a head with brown hair. ''Glen.'' She thought out loud and her hand flew to her mouth. She quickly pulled her head back when he looked up and she closed the window. ''Damn it.'' Please tell him I'm not allowed to have visitors mom, please please please. She heard the door close and Glen's voice in the hallway. Of course, she always tells people I'm not allowed to have visitors, but she lets Glen in. Paige quickly made her way over to her bed and sorted her sheets out. She fluffed a pillow and hid the present that had once been meant for him under her bed.
The door opened in a swift movement and Paige quickly sat down on the bed, crossing her legs. Obviously Glen noticed that, but he hid his smile well and closed the door quietly. ''Hey.'' He greeted her.
Paige rolled her eyes, ''Hi.'' She replied and shifted slightly. ''Um. I brought some of your favourite chocolate.'' Glen walked over to the bed and placed a box on Paige's lap gently. Paige picked it up and placed it onto the bed, where Glen was about to sit down. ''Chocolates are really not going to help me forgive you Glen.''
He grinned and moved the box, taking place next to her on the bed. ''Can't blame a guy for trying.'' He told her. Paige laid back on bed and looked at the ceiling, ignoring Glen. She knew that if she'd keep looking into his eyes she'd forgive him way too easily.
Glen watched her and let out a sigh, ''Paige you're not still mad at me, are you? I mean I told Ashley that it was a mistake, which by the way she didn't really like, and I apologised tonnes of times. You can't stay mad at me forever.''
''Once you've realised how much it hurt me to see you there, I'll forgive you.'' She replied simply and without looking at him. God, does she have to be so stubborn? Glen rolled his eyes and laid down next to her, leaning on his elbow. ''I do know that I've hurt you Paige, but will you please forgive me? Please?'' he begged, putting his best set of puppy eyes on.
Paige glanced at him and let out a small laugh, ''Glen..'' ''Oh come on. I know you can't resist me.'' He teased, pouting slightly and he placed his hand on her stomach. Paige looked at him and sighed slightly, ''Promise you won't do it again? Not even when you're drunk?''
Glen smiled and nodded, ''I promise.'' He pulled her closer. Paige smiled back slightly and kissed him softly. Once again her mom had been right. It did feel good to forgive Glen, she actually felt a lot happier than she had felt in days, Glen always managed to cheer her up, even if he had hurt her. She felt Glen smile against her lips before returning her kiss gently, pulling her closer to his body. He deepened the kiss and moved himself on top of her gently.
Before Paige could start to work on unbuttoning his shirt, the bedroom door opened and her dad walked into the room. ''Paige I think Glen should.. – Oh.'' Paige used her hands to push Glen off of her and she sat up quickly, tucking her hair neater. ''Dad. Erm. Hi.'' She gave him an obvious fake smile and from the corner over her eyes she saw Glen quickly fastening the buttons of his shirt again. Frank, Paige's dad, swallowed hard and held onto the door knob tightly, his knuckles were starting to become white. ''Glen. You're mother called, she asked if you could come home.'' He said stiffly. Glen bit his lower lip gently and got to his feet, ''Okay. Thank you Mr. Matthews.'' Mr. Matthews gave a small nod of his head in reply and then walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
Paige moved her eyes from the door back to Glen and let out a nervous giggle. ''Oops.'' She whispered. Glen smiled and kissed her forehead softly, ''I'll see you tomorrow at school, princess. Will you be there?'' he asked her as he moved a strand of her dark hair out of her face. Paige nodded before pulling him closer and giving him a meaningful look. Glen knew exactly what she wanted. ''A proper kiss before I go?'' He smiled and leaned in, crashing his lips upon hers. He felt her kiss back and her pale hands held onto his shirt lightly. Glen placed his hand upon her cheek and pulled away slightly, causing Paige to pout. He laughed gently, which brought a smile onto Paige's face immediately. She loved that laugh. ''Sorry.'' He apologised and brushed her cheek with his thumb. ''I should go. I'll call you around 10' okay?'' Paige gave him another kiss in reply and then watched as he made his way out of the bedroom. She sighed deeply and let herself fall back down on bed.

That night she was waiting by the phone, wanting it to ring. It was 10:15pm already and Glen still hadn't called. She put her cherry-flavoured lollipop in her mouth and narrowed her eyes at the white phone. ''Ring already.'' She mumbled, shifting onto her back and running a hand through her recently-washed hair. It smelled like coconut. It made her think of white palm beaches, warm islands like Barbados. Or Hawaii. ''Glen..'' She picked up the phone and put it against her ear to listen, nothing only the beeping tone that was always there. She let out a sigh and rolled her eyes. Why does he keep breaking promises? Just as she thought that and placed the phone back on it's place, it started to ring.
Paige jumped slightly. Looks like he doesn't break them after all. She picked the horn up, ''I was wondering when you'd call.''''Paige?'' A female voice replied causing Paige to raise an eyebrow, Who was that?
''Um. Yeah that's me.''''Hi, it's Sophie, Glen's mom.''
''Oh. Sorry, I didn't recognise your voice Mrs. Ballard. Is there something wrong?'' Paige moved her legs off the bed and sat up.''I think you might want to sit down Paige. Something happened to Glen.'' His mom replied, her voice sounded serious and it was full of concern.
Paige took a deep breath and felt her heart miss more beats than she thought would be possible. Something happened to Glen. It felt as though the whole world had stopped from moving and she was expecting the worst.
''I – I am sitting down. What happened? Is he okay? Will he be okay?''''Glen had an accident Paige, he wanted to visit you again and I just got a phonecall. He's in the hospital.'' Sophie told her, as calm as possible.
Paige's hand flew to her mouth and she closed her eyes momentarily, fighting the tears that were starting to form. She swallowed hard. ''What happened?'' she asked quietly. Did she even want to know? What if he was in a coma? What if he'd never be able to walk again. Or to talk again. She didn't want to think of it. She wouldn't think of it.''A truck driver ran a stoplight. He hit Glen's car, the hospital told me he's out of life danger now.''
''To which hospital did they take him?''''The one in town. Paige if you wait then I'll...-''
Paige cut her off by hanging up and getting to her feet quickly. She grabbed her jacket and ran down the stairs as fast as she could.
''Mom, Dad I'm going to the hospital Glen's in it I'll make sure I'm home before 12!'' she shouted and then ran towards the front door. Her dad opened the door of the livingroom and walked into the hallway. ''Paige? What happened wouldn't it be better if one of us..'' The front door slammed shut and when Frank looked he saw that the hallway was empty. '' – would take you. You're still grounded.'' He let out a slight sigh, hoping that his daughter knew what she was doing.
Paige pulled her jacket on and ran out of the street. It was only a few miles to town, if she hurried she'd arrive at the hospital in 30 minutes. She could feel a painful sting in her side from running and she slowed down, walking now. Her breathing was out of sync and she paused, holding onto a lantern while trying to regain her breath. ''Why did – I never – try harder during – PE.'' She mumbled to herself and moved her hair out of her face. When she could breath normally again she started walking again and buttoned her jacket up, maybe it wouldn't have been such a bad idea to let someone take her to the hospital.
It was already 10:30pm and it was really dark, she had never really liked the dark. As a kid, several years ago she had been locked up in an elevator once. There had been a powercut and she had been all alone. This was also how she had became claustrophobic.
Paige drew in a deep breath and let her eyes scan the street, nearly no one was out anymore and she had to go in the more dangerous parts of the neighbourhood now to reach town. Come on Paige, you can do this. She told herself and turned a corner.
She noted a small group of guys messing around on the parking and swallowed hard. Just keep walking. They won't hurt you, it's only a group of guys. She put her hands into her pockets and walked past the guys, trying not to look too scared.
''Hey, Sexy. Where are you going all alone?'' One of them called.
Paige ignored him and continued to make her way down the street. She noticed that they started to walk her way and she started to walk a bit faster. ''Come on legs, what's the hurry. Don't you wanna stay and chat?''
Paige wanted to start running, but she felt a large hand wrap around her upper-arm and she spun around, her heart beating faster than it was supposed to. ''Let go of me.'' She spat, pulling her arm free from the guy's grasp. She turned around and faced two other guys, closing her in threatingly. ''Now now, why being like that? What's your name beautiful?'' the tallest guy walked towards her. ''I need to visit my boyfriend. He's in the hospital.''
The tall guy let out a laugh and put his hand upon her cheek, ''Boyfriend Hm? Guys.'' He nodded towards two of his mates and each grabbed one of Paige's arms. ''No. Please I have to go –'' she was cut off when one of the guys put his hand over her mouth and she kicked, trying to stop them from dragging her into a dark alley.
