Paige's POV
"Paige baby what's wrong?"
Focusing my blurry eyes on a concerned looking Emily I am confused for a second until it strikes me that I am crying.
Recalling my dream or should I say nightmare from moments ago of Emily and Nate kissing and mocking me I realise that is the source of my tears.
But it hits me like a ton of bricks to remember that it is not a dream but a reality, except for the mocking which I am sure will come later on.
But not from Emily never from kind sweet Emily, Emily who I realise is still standing in the doorway of my bedroom.
Knowing that I had to answer her I wipe my face with the back of my hand and clear my throat.
"Emily what are you doing here?"
I regret asking the question immediately already dreading the answer that she is here to inform me of our upcoming break up.
"I was worried about you since you sent me a message saying that you were sick and when I tried ringing you your phone was off and I panicked and thought that something had happened to you like you had fell and banged your head or that maybe you"
I tune out the rest of Emily's ramble when I realise that she was worried about me, really worried and not just polite worried.
I was warmed and slightly hopeful that this wasn't the end of us and that she really liked me, she must have if she took the time away from Nate to come check up on me.
But as soon as the feelings arrive they are soon leaving at the thought of Nate.
Nate where was here? Sill at Emily's house? Or was he here in my home, the idea that he was brings an intense feeling of rage pulse through me at the thought that he was invading my sanctuary.
And before I can stop my mouth from asking I blurt out the question I am dying to know.
"Where's Nate?"
A flash of confusion, nervousness and anger crosses Emily's face, which bring son my own confusion I get the first two but the third.
"Nate's gone and for good I hope" Emily answers through gritted teeth.
Speechless all I can do is sit there and stare at her
Emily's answer makes me extremely curious as I thought she would say that he was outside waiting in the car to drive them away once she had ended things with me.
"Why?" I ask quietly until a thought strikes me "has he done something to hurt you?" I ask jumping up and without realising it had started running me hands up and down Emily's body looking for signs of any injuries.
"No Paige he hasn't hurt me well not physically anyway" Emily answers soothingly while gently halting my hands movements
Her answer once again confuses me, what did she mean by not physically? Just as I am about to open my mouth and ask what she meant Emily beats me to.
"Paige I have to tell you something"
There they are the dreaded words.
"I made a mistake"
Every word Emily speaks breaks my heart into tiny pieces.
"And I need to be honest with you"
I close my eyes and wait for her to tell me that were over and that she regrets ever getting with me and that she finally realises that.
Bracing myself for her next words.
"I kissed Nate and I regret it and I'm sorry please don't leave me" my eyes snap open at her confession and plea.
Looking straight into Emily's tear filled eyes I am stunned at what she just said.
Please don't leave me, those words run through my head a thousand times a second.
She is asking me not to leave her, she is begging me not to leave her.
Shocked and stunned I continue to stare at Emily's beautiful face which now had tears running down it.
Seeing that image snapped me out of my daze, slowly unsure of myself I wrap my arms around Emily's shoulders and I pull her into me.
Emily's arms instantly wrap around my waist and her body starts shaking, loud sobs escaping her mouth.
Running my hands up and down her back I am forced to contain my own tears wanting to be strong for Emily.
But my walls come crashing down when I hear the sound of Emily repeating the plea that will forever stay with me.
"Please don't leave me"
Hi this will be I promise the last of the short chapters as the next one will be about Emily and Paige reconnecting with each other.
