They give me one more reason to keep writing, so thank you guys for the support. Reviews and PMs are always welcomed. Hope you'll enjoy.

Paige's POV

I don't know if I want to hug and congratulate her or punch her. What the hell is she trying to do? Jay looks shocked and so does Kris. God, does she even thinks before she speaks?

We sat there in silence just looking each other. That was until Jay spoke.

"What?" He said like he was trying to understand what he just heard.

"I'm gay." Kris whispered.

"Oh, ok." He said and stood up. He took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, Ron. So I spoke with Jay and she can't come at the hockey game. She's going to visit her parents in Boston." He waited for Ron's response and then ended the call.

"What are you doing?!" I said frustrated.

"She just confessed that she's gay and all you do is call your friend and tell him that Kris won't be able to go on a date with him?"

"Yes." I continued looking at him confused and frustrated as I waited for an answer. He turned to look at Kris.

"Just because you're gay doesn't mean that I'll stop being a friend of yours." He said sincerely, the realization finally hit him.

Kris definitely didn't see that coming. Although I knew Jay would take it well I never thought it would be like that. He crossed the room until he was next to Kris. And then he sat on his knees beside her.

"If you need help coming out to the others I'm here for you, ok?" Kris nodded. After that, Jay got up and hugged her.

Kris' POV

After last night's events I was more confident about coming out to my friends. But I still didn't know how I was going to do that.

Paige and I had just got into the locker room after our swim practice when I heard someone talking. It was Jennifer, a girl from the field hockey team, talking to Paige.

"Hey, Paige." She said.

"Oh, hey Jennifer. What's up?"

"I was wondering if you have any plans for tomorrow night. There's this film festival in San Francisco and I have an extra ticket so…."

"I can't tomorrow I promised Kris that I'll have dinner with her and her family."

"Oh, ok then. See you around I guess." For some reason I was glad that Paige rejected the offer.

Once we were out of Jennifer's earshot I turned to face Paige. "Why did you lie?"

"Because I didn't want to go out with her."

"Is this because of Emily?"

"I don't know. I'm just not ready to start dating other girls again. I don't even know what I'm going to do with Emily." She said sad.

"You're thinking of going back?" I wasn't so sure I wanted to hear an answer.

"Not yet. I can't."

"Why not? You keep saying that but you never said why."

"The less you know the better."

"I don't get it!" I said frustrated. "Every time I ask about Rosewood or Emily you just shut me out! Why?!"

"It's complicated." She said calm.

"I'm not stupid. I'll understand."

"I'm not saying you're stupid. But some things are better left alone." I didn't say anything else. This conversation was pointless. She wasn't going to tell me.

"Why you're asking anyway?" She asked.

"You are my friend P and seeing you sad over Emily makes me sad too. I want to help you like you're helping me."

"Help me with what?"

"Emily."

"Hey, you have enough problems to deal with you don't have to worry about me too." She said sincerely.

"Can I ask you something?" I said hesitantly.

"Sure."

"Do you want to go back?"

"I don't know what I want. I mean… I know what I want, I just… don't know what I want." She dipped her head down.

"What?" I asked confused.

"I mean, I do want to go back but there's something that makes me want to stay away from that place." We sat in silence for a while until we heard a door closing.

"We should get going." I said and closed my locker.

"Paige, how am I going to come out to everybody else?" I asked while walking back to our dorm.

"To be honest I don't know. But we'll find a way, don't worry."

"What happens if my parents come to visit? I can't tell them but I don't think I can keep this a secret."

"Tell me about it." She shook her head and smirked.

Paige's POV

"See you in two months. Love you mom, bye." I heard Kris saying as I got in our dorm. I looked at her waiting for her to tell me what happened.

"We got a problem." She said.

"Why? What's wrong?"

"My mom called. She said that they want me to go visit them in Boston in two months, when this semester ends."

"That means that we'll have to figure out what we're going to do in less than two months."

"Wait, there's more. They want to meet you."

"What? They want me to come with you to Boston?"

"Yep."

"Why?"

"They said they wanted to meet my new roommate."

"Well, at least you won't be alone on this one."

Emily's POV

"Dad, you're back!" I said when I saw a man in uniform standing in front of the open door.

"Hey, Emmy." He said and opened his arms to hug me.

"God, I've missed you so much." I said while hugging him.

"I've missed you too, honey."

"What about me?" I heard a voice saying behind my dad.

"Mom!" I said and run towards her. She hugged me and a second later I heard my dad saying.

"Are you two planning on staying outside forever?" I helped my parents settle down and a few hours later, after dinner, the whole family sat in the living room. I haven't seen my dad for half year and my mom for a week or so but I've missed them both.

"So, Emmy, why are you here alone?" My dad asked looking around.

"Well, Spencer is in London, checking out a university and so does Hanna. And Aria is spending the night with her mom."

"What about Paige?"

"Mom didn't tell you?" I asked confused.

"Tell me what?" He said and turned to look at my mom.

"Paige left." I said coldly.

"Where did she go?"

"To San Francisco."

"To do what?"

"She got a scholarship at Stanford, remember?"

"I know that but wasn't she supposed to leave after graduation."

"Apparently after Mona's death her parents thought that Rosewood isn't a safe place anymore."

"So she just left?"

"She didn't have a choice." At some point I was just trying to convince myself about that.

"Have you talked to her?"

"Not exactly. She sent me an email telling me she needs space and that's what I'm doing, I'm giving her space."

"Are you ok?" He said and sat beside me.

"I'm still holding up." But I don't know for how much longer.

I was lying on my bed, looking at the ceiling and listening to music when my mind drifted to Paige. Where is she now? What is she doing? Is she dating anyone? Does she still think about me?

And with Paige on my mind I fell asleep.

Paige's POV

I know it probably shouldn't think about it so much but how is Kris gonna come out. She can't just hold a sign saying "I'm gay" and walk around campus. Why am I over thinking this?

"Ready?" Kris and I were supposed to go for running in a deserted path that she knew, just a few minutes out of campus.

"Yeah, let's go." I said as I got up.

Half hour later we were running through the trees, just listening to music from our iPods.

"Hey, have you heard this one?" Kris said while handing me her earphones. I put them on and music filled my ears. I slowed down so I could pay attention to the song. Kris kept running so I was left behind.

"We're just a falling star, we're just a broken seed. And when an ocean parts, will you wanna sink our dreams? I don't know what we are or what we'll ever be, so listen when you feel your heart skip a beat…" I couldn't see Kris anymore. It could be because she was running really fast or because of the tears I was trying to hold back.

"You left me here without a breath or goodbye, you never even tried…" It was like listening to Emily accusing me.

"You're just like drawing scars and leaving hope to bleed. So if we fall apart, will I ever haunt your dreams?" You already do, don't you get it!? I can't get you out of my mind. You're always there, I thought frustrated.

"Yeah, you said you felt the same, but now who's to blame, you threw it all away…" I couldn't take it anymore and before I realized it I stumbled on a rock and fell. Adrenaline ran through me body and so did the pain. I couldn't move. I felt numb. I called out for Kris but no answer came.

After ten minutes I heard footsteps and saw Kris running towards me.

"What the hell happened?!"

"I stumbled on a rock and hit my leg."

"Let me see." She said and sat on her knees. She gently touched my now bruised leg and then spoke.

"We need to get you to the hospital, it might be serious." She said concerned.

"I don't think that's necessary."

"Well, it's not a bad thing to be cautious. Can you get up?" I tried but I couldn't.

"Ok, uhh, use this tree to stand up and I'll take care of the rest." I used the tree as I was instructed and got up. I could barely stand. Then Kris walked towards me and with a fast movement she lifted me and carried me in her arms just like the husband does to his wife.

"What are you doing?"

"Well, you obviously can't walk and since we didn't take our phones with us I'm carrying you to the hospital." She said like it was an everyday thing.

"You're kidding, right? Put me down."

"I'm not and I won't, so just shut up and enjoy the ride." And since there was nothing I could do I just observed her. Her strong arms, her green emerald eyes, her chin, her cute nose…

What the hell am I thinking?

Kris' POV

Don't look at her. Don't look at her. God, what am I doing? Do I really like Paige? When did that happened? Why is it so hard to have her so close to me? I wait, I know. I wonder how her lips taste. Stop! What are you doing?! Are you out of your freaking mind? Stop thinking that kind of stuff when she is so close. And watch out for any rocks on your way to the hospital. If you hit too then you're both doomed. Why am I even talking to myself? Does this means that I'm going crazy? Of course I am. Thanks to that girl in my arms.

P.S the song Paige heard is "Reprobate Romance" by Blacklisted Me
