This is no longer a oneshot, it's a full-on Palex story. I may change the title however, but the summary will remain the same. Enjoy Chap.2
Just as Alex reached for the door knob, Paige grabbed her wrist and spun her around.
"Alex why?" she muttered, her bottom lip quivering. She could tell Alex was holding back tears.
"Who the hell do you think you are? Inviting me out here, putting me on the spot?"
"Putting you on the spot? Alex, I was trying to tell you how I felt, all of that was true." Paige whispered, making sure the guys weren't listening in on their conversation/argument.
"It was your decision to put me out, remember? If you wanted me to stay so badly, why did you kick me out?" Alex said, still trying to hold back the emerging tears.
"Alex, someone needed to introduce you to reality. I couldn't carry you through it, you had to make your own lifestyle."
"Well I did and now you're trying to bring me back into your's. We've been over this before, you keep opening and closing my door. What do you want Paige! I can't keep letting you in and you keep breaking my heart!" Alex shouted, rage consuming her, tears spilling from her eyes.
"I want you, okay! I want you." Paige grabbed her, she too crying as well.
"It's not that simple, Paige. You've done this to me over and over again, I can't trust you anymore, I don't know you anymore." Alex released from the girl, the emotion in her face beginning to settle.
"Alex please, I… I love you." It was the first time Paige had said those three little words to Alex. Did she really mean them? Or did she think they'd make Alex stay? Something inside of her wanted her to say it, whether it was really love, she wasn't sure. It just felt real good to get it off her chest, like a huge secret had been spilled to the world.
"I loved you too… a long time ago. You were right, we both needed to move on and I did." Alex opened the door and took no further thought before leaving the house. Paige stood there, staring at the door, wondering what went wrong. She brushed her hands through her hair, took a deep breath and bolted for her room. She didn't want to talk to Marco, she didn't want to babble on to Ellie, she just wanted to be alone.
