Chapter 7:
It had been nearly a week since Paige's accident and it has also been nearly a week since Alex's mom talked to Alex. Alex didn't really think anything of it, she thought her mother would talk to her eventually… if not she would be gone at College soon.
Knowing that Paige couldn't stay away from Alex and vice versa they spent everyday together, which is the way it would have been even if Paige didn't hurt her head. Every time Alex would look at Paige she would remember what really happened with her and how guilty she felt, she just couldn't get over it. And to make it worse, Paige's memory would come back eventually and she would remember how it all went down. That is the day that Alex's dreads.
Today was another one of those movie days. Alex and Paige stayed over at Paige's house today. Paige's parents were at work for the day and Marco and Dylan were off doing their own thing. Ever since Paige's accident Marco had basically been spending his entire time with her, but he decided to take a break and go out with Dylan. So it was just Alex and Paige. Like usual they had their popcorn, soda and as much candy as they could find all laid out on the table and floor. Of course Alex and Paige were sitting on the couch. Alex was sitting in the corner of the couch facing the TV and was sitting on top of Alex also facing the TV. Tired of watching the movie Alex decided to break the silence.
"so have you remembered anything lately?" she asked casually.
"nope" Paige replied not taking her eyes off the TV.
"nothing at all about the accident?" Alex asked
"not a thing" Paige said once again not taking her eyes off of the TV, like she wasn't really interested in the questions.
"but somehow you remembered the other things?" asked Alex hoping to get her attention.
"yeah, it's funny how it works out, when I remembered those other things it seems like there was an image or person who triggered the memory and it just kind of popped back into my head. Weird huh?" Paige said as she finally turned around to glance at Alex for a quick second.
"like at the movie theatre, it was the image of the candy counter and the ugly uniforms that brought it back. Then your sexy dancing at Karaoke night brought back my memory of you working at Zanzibar. Oh and don't forget how you told me about our relationship." Paige said
"but me telling you about our relationship wasn't really an image." Alex said
"yeah, but still you told me, and I kind of felt the same way inside but never really realized it, and then Marco said it was true so I had to believe you." Said Paige
"for all you know I could just be some stalker girl who has a crush on you and paid your friends to lie to let me be with you." Alex said making a joke.
"yes but at least you are my stalker girl" Paige said laughing and went back to watching the movie.
As much as Alex didn't want Paige to know about the accident, she knew she would remember it sometime and Alex wanted that time sooner than later so that she could get it over with. But she thought that if seeing something triggered it she would have to push someone down. Which she didn't really do anymore. Alex needed to get her mind off of the topic so she decided that she and Paige needed to get a little closer. Alex saw Paige about to take a sip of her coke and decided that Paige should accidentally spill it. So when Paige was about to take a sip Alex decided to do a fake sneeze.
"Achoo" Alex said as she jumped up slightly causing Paige's drink to spill all over her face and top.
"Alex!" Paige said in a whiney voice. "you made me spill my drink!"
"oh sorry Paige. Here let me help you clean it up" Alex said as she slowly started kissing and licking Paige's neck.
"what won't you do to get some action?" Paige said as she smiled at Alex kissing her neck.
"umm, nothing" Alex said smiling up at Paige and then quickly resuming to what she was doing. Alex was making her way up Paige's neck when she decided to kiss Paige's spot, which was right below her ear. Alex knew it could drive Paige up the wall.
"oh my god! I forgot you knew where that was." Paige said as her breathing got heavier.
"well it's just another thing to add to the list of things you remembered." Alex said while kissing Paige on the lips.
"yeah, but this one, like our relationship, I can't tell my parents." Paige said kissing Alex back.
"…lextacy" Paige said smiling.
"shit! I thought you forgot that, that was the only upside to this whole accident thing" Alex said jokingly.
"Forget lextacy? Me? Never!" Paige said over exaggerating every word.
"just shut up and kiss me" Alex said trying to stop her laughter. Paige and Alex resumed back to their kissing when they heard someone burst into the room.
"oh my god!" someone's voice said. Alex and Paige jumped back away from each other to look at who it was.
