A/N: So since it's been a week and I only got 2 reviews I'm going to say that people didn't like the last chapter. That's ok. I'm going to admit that I don't like this chapter but it's just a filler for the next chapter. TRUST ME, the next chapter will be ON POINT!
Disclaimer: I don't not own Degrassi or its characters but I do own the new Senses Fail cd =)
You know how sometimes you forget that your friends are friends with one of your other friends? Yeah, sometimes I forget. Sometimes I forget that Beth is friends with my friends, not because she's my girlfriend but because she was friends with these people before we got together. Sometimes I forget that Beth went to Degrassi before I even entered Canada. Sometimes I forget but now I was definitely just reminded, and so was Alex.
"Paige?"
Alex and I are both surprised by the person standing in front of us. Paige Michalchuk is standing with my girlfriend and they both look surprised and Beth looks like she knows she's in trouble.
"Hey," Paige says nervously with a nervous smile on her face.
"Jordan," Beth says my name nervously. "What are you and Alex doing here?"
I cross my arms. "I came to pick up the cake your mom baked for our mom," I tell her. "Remember?"
"Oh yeah…"
Paige is looking at Alex. "Lexie, hon, are you ok?" she asks concerned.
Alex looks down. "Don't worry about it Paige," she mumbles.
"Beth can I talk to you inside please?" I ask.
Beth just nods her head. Beth goes inside her house and I follow, walking past Paige. Beth and I walk into the living room.
"What is Paige doing here?" I ask.
"Am I not allowed to have Paige over my house?" Beth asks sarcastically.
"I didn't even know you were talking to Paige."
"Jordan I NEVER stopped talking to Paige. I know that you and Alex have your issues with Paige but she never did anything to me."
"Yeah but she did stuff to me, your girlfriend, and she hurt Alex, your friend."
"And Paige apologized for that," Beth says. "We all make mistakes Jordan."
"Yeah and Paige has made a shit load of them."
"Listen, Paige was the only one I could talk to aboot you when we broke up."
Wait, what? I know the look on my face is surprised. "You talked to Paige while we weren't together?"
Beth is nodding her head. "For some reason you tend to forget that Paige and I were friends before you and I started dating."
"Paige didn't tell me that she was talking to you."
"Again you tend to forget that not everyone tells you everything. And I asked Paige not to tell you."
"Ok, fine you're friends with Paige but that still doesn't explain what she's doing here."
"Paige is back in T.O. to promote Mewesical High and she stopped by to chat."
"And what did y'all chat about?"
Beth approaches me. "That Jordan Johnson is none of your business. Now I believe you stopped by to pick up a cake. I believe that cake is in the kitchen."
Beth turns around and starts walking to the kitchen. I'm not following her though. She notices, turns around, and raises an eyebrow.
I cross my arms. "I thought we didn't keep secrets in this relationship?" I ask.
"The moment you tell me every single thing Alex says and thinks will be the moment I tell you what Paige tells me."
I'm nodding my head. "Touché."
I follow Beth into the kitchen and grab the cake. I follow Beth outside to where Alex and Paige are still standing but now it seems like they're arguing.
"Did you at least read them Lexie?" Paige asks.
"Of course I read them!" Alex yells. "Did you really think they'd change my mind? After everything you did and said to me."
"Which I apologized for! What more do you want from me?"
"I don't want anything from you!"
Alex walks away from Paige and to the car. Beth and I are looking at each other thinking the same thing," What the hell just happened?"
"I'll call you later," I tell Beth.
Beth just nods her head in response
"Bye Paige."
"Bye hon," Paige says quietly.
I get into the car and drive off. Alex is quiet, too quiet. I sigh.
"So should I guess what that argument was about back there?" I ask her.
"Just drop it Jordan," Alex grumbles.
You think Alex would know by now that I don't drop ANYTHING, especially when it comes to her and Paige. I pull into our garage and Alex and I get out of the car and enter the house. I put the cake up and follow Alex upstairs.
"Just talk to me about it," I tell her.
"There's nothing to talk aboot," she says.
Alex walks into her room and closes the door. Nu-uh, not letting this go. I open her door and walk into her room. She looks at me, slightly angry.
"Jordan, get out of my room," she orders angrily.
I shake my head. "Nu-uh, let's talk about this. You need to talk about it."
"I don't need to talk aboot anything."
I sigh. "Was it about the letter?"
Obviously I hit the nail right on the head because Alex's eyes fire up and her nostrils are flaring.
"Drop it Jordan," Alex says intensely.
"Just tell me what it said!"
Whoa! Alex just zoomed right up to me. We are literally toe to toe right now.
"What gives you the right to be in everyone's business?" she asks angrily. "What makes you think you need to know EVERYTHING that is going on? After today don't you think I've had enough of you trying to "help" me?"
Ok, she is slightly scaring me. Seriously, a mad Alex is not a fun Alex.
"You know what I think?" I ask.
"No, right now I don't give a fuck what you think." She turns around and starts to walk away.
"I think you still have feelings for Paige and I mean romantic feelings. Whenever I even mention ANYTHING Paige related you start to freak out."
Alex turns around quickly. "That's because she hurt me!" she exclaims. "You were there! You've been there every time!"
"What about whenever something happens with Paige you're suddenly so close to Sage. Every time Alex, every time!"
"Don't you dare bring Sage into this!" Alex is pointing at me angrily.
I shrug my shoulders. "I'm just saying Alex. Listen, I'm not taking Paige's side, because God knows I can't after the Hollywood fiasco, but I also can't just cut a four year friendship and I know you can't just cut your feelings for her."
"I can and I did," she says sternly.
"What's in the letter Alex?"
Alex walks over to her desk and pulls out an envelope. She throws it at me.
"Now get the hell out of my room," she orders.
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Alex is practically pushing me out of her room.
Slam!
And she just slammed the door. Good thing no one is here except for us or a lot of questions would be asked right now. I open the envelope. What the… There are numerous pieces of paper in here. I flip through the papers. This is more than one letter.
I pull out the first letter.
Dear Alex…
Depending on how this weekend goes I might just update this weekend. The next chapter will just be the letters. =)
