I decided to do Paige's POV of the same scene. Enjoy!
Paige POV
Wait...what just happened? Did she just tell me I suck! What the hell? I get up and go after her. I open the door and she her walking fast down the laneway. You're not getting away that easily.
" You know what, Alex, you suck too," I yell at her.
"Sorry," she screams back but keeps walking.
"Oh, your apology is killing me with your plaintive sincerity," I say in obvious sarcasm. She turns around and faces me. I don't get it. Why is she so pissed. " I hate how you are acting right now. Why are you doing this?"
She looks at me and then all of sudden she grabs my face and kisses me. Hard. I'm stunned but a part of me is glad she did. But I won't think about that right now.
"Because I love you, you idiot!" she says after she releases me. "So much that it scares that crap out of me." She's crying and it breaks my heart. I think a part of me knew how she felt. But she had Carla and she told me to play the field. It's what she thought I needed. Now, I just need answers.
"Why...why did you tell me to go on all those dates?"
"Because I thought you being cas' with guys is nothing serious. And its alot better than you with some other girl." So there's the truth. But I can't handle this right now. There's too much going on. Too much to think about.
"I just," I'm sorry Alex, " I can't...with you right now," I know that's not what you wanted to hear. " I really..." she looks at me with a spark of hope. Because she knows what I want to say but can't. Not now. Not yet. And now its my turn to lie. " I really have to go back inside." And I turn around and walk away from her. I know she's crying and I know I hurt her, but I have to fix myself before I can be with her. I only walked away from her today so I can walk along side her later. Because she's my Alex. Always.
