A/N: This was suppose to be up yesterday but George Mason has crappy wifi. And I'm guessing most of you stopped watching Degrassi after episode 703 since some of you think the Spinner-Emma marriage came from me. No, that really did happen on Degrassi, no lie. Anyway enjoy =)

Disclaimer: I do not own Degrassi or its characters.

Intervention, noun, means the act or fact of intervening. Intervene, verb, to come between disputing people, groups, etc. I've never had an intervention before because I've never had to be intervened before. At least not that I can remember. Well, there was there one time though that Alex told me I had to stop drinking. That was during my depressing break up period with Beth when I was "drinking my sorrows away". I've seen TONS of interventions on television but have never experienced one myself.

Right now Alex and I are on our way to Beth's house. Beth called telling us we had to come over. I don't know why and I have learned not to ask questions when Beth tells me to do something.

"I don't understand why I'm in this car right now," Alex groans.

I shrug my shoulders. "Beth said that both you and I have to come to her house," I tell her.

"I hope this isn't some weird kind of hang out session. Sometimes when I hang out with you two I feel like a third wheel, especially when you two look at each other with lovey dovey eyes."

"And now you know how I feel during the school year when I have to hang out with you and Sage."

"Think about how you're going to feel this upcoming year since we're living in an apartment with her."

I shudder. Yeah, instead of living in the dorms this year Alex and I will be sharing an apartment with Sage. I wonder if I'll be able to get my walls soundproof. No sound in, so sound out.

"All I can ask is that you and Sage have your private love moments when I'm not in the apartment," I tell Alex.

Alex shrugs her shoulders. "Can't make any promises."

I pull alongside the curb in front of Beth's house. Alex and I get out of the car and knock on the front door. Simón answers the door.

"Hey Jordan, hey Alex," he greets us.

"Sup Simón," I reply. "Your sister called, saying she wanted to see us."

I'm not liking the way Simón is smiling right now. It's the type of smile saying that something is up. It's the type of smile I have on my face whenever I'm up to something, like a plan.

"Simón, what are you up to?" I ask.

"Nothing," he answers.

"What is your sister up to?" Alex asks him.

Simón is shrugging his shoulders and shaking his head. "I have no idea what you're talking aboot. I've been sitting in the living room playing my Wii, minding my own business. You're the ones coming up in my home accusing me of things that I have no idea aboot. I'm only 11."

I narrow my eyes at Simón. "Whenever someone goes off on a tangent like that it means they're up to something. Just remember who buys you those games you play on that Wii of yous."

"I'm going back to the living room now."

Simón turns around and walks to the living room as Alex and I enter the house. I head up the stairs with Alex right behind me. We reach Beth's room and her door is closed. I knock on her door. Beth opens the door.

"Hey," she greets me happily and kisses me on the cheek. "Hey Alex."

"Cut the crap Perez," Alex says as we walk into Beth's room. "What are you up to?"

"I have no idea what you're talking aboot," Beth says instantly.

I walk over to her and wrap my arms around her waist.

"Beth, sweetie, the love of my life," I start. "Alex and I both know you're up to something so why don't you just go ahead and tell us what's going on?" I'm pouting with puppy dog eyes.

"Jordan, you're cute," Beth says.

I smile. I think I might be actually getting my way.

"But not that cute," Beth says.

My face just fell.

"Now sit down."

I groan but do what I am told and sit down on her bed. Alex sits in the desk chair with her arms crossed over her chest.

"I know you're up to something Beth," Alex says. "This is one of the very few Saturdays where all of us are off at the same time and Simón was smiling the same smile that you smile whenever you're up to something, so spill."

Knock, knock!

I raise an eyebrow. "Beth, who's that knocking at your door?"

"I'm doing this for everyone's own good," she answers defensively.

Beth opens the door. Oh my God, you have got to be kidding me. Paige is standing on the other side of the door.

"Hey hon, what's up?" Paige asks Beth.

"Seriously Beth?" Alex exclaims.

Paige looks and sees us. She seems genuinely surprised. Did Beth plan something without ANYONE'S help? Wow, my girl is learning from me. If this wasn't so bad I'd be smiling right now.

"Come on in Paige," Beth tells her.

Paige walks into the room. She sits down on the opposite end of the bed.

"Wow Beth, you're getting just as bad as Jordan," Alex says.

"I would never do this," I tell them. Now everyone is looking at me. "Ok maybe high school me would do something like this but not 20 year old me."

Alex is shaking her head. "Doesn't matter, I'm out of here."

Alex stands up from her seat and heads toward the door. Beth steps in Alex's path and now she's blocking the exit.

"Move Beth," Alex tells her.

"No," Beth says sternly. "Sit down Alex."

I see Alex's fists balled up. I stand up, getting ready to jump in if needed. I'd rather my girlfriend and best friend/sister not get into a fist fight.

"I haven't used force in awhile but I will if I have to," Alex says.

"Just sit down Alex," Beth says. "I don't want to have to use force either."

"Seriously Alex," I warn her. "Beth knows El Juego del Garrote."

Alex looks at me with her eyebrow raised and then looks back at Beth. Beth is smiling and nodding her head. Alex groans and stomps back to her seat.

"Hon, what are you doing?" Paige asks Beth.

Beth sighs. "I am so sick of this tension that is between everyone and everyone is angry at each other."

"I'm not angry at anyone!" I exclaim.

Beth is pointing an accusing finger at me. "You Jordan Johnson are still mad at Paige. Yeah you might talk to her here and there at certain events but you're still angry at her."

I look at Paige and then I look down because Beth is right.

"I know not everything is going to go back to the way it was before but I at least want everyone to talk to each other. I'm tired of having to go between two groups. Now you three are going to sit here and talk out your feelings or so help me God!"

"Have I ever told you how hot you are when you're angry?" I ask Beth.

Paige groans and Alex rolls her eyes.

"So not the right time for that Jordan!" Beth yells. "Now I'm going to go outside while you three talk."

Beth leaves the room and closes the door behind her. I hear a clicking sound and I know Beth locked us in. Damn her and her lock on the outside.

"I did not plan this, I swear," Paige tells us.

"When Beth wants to do something she does it," I answer.

"I, quite frankly, don't see the point of locking us in a room together," Alex says. "Why? So we can talk about our feelings? You want to know what I'm feeling right now? I'm annoyed."

"I'm kind of hungry right now," I announce.

"I think Beth is doing this for me," Paige says quietly. "She's the only one that's really still talking to me since the whole L.A. disaster."

"Well you did say some really hurtful things," I tell her. I look at her. "You really hurt me Paige. You said awful, horrible things to me. Things that I never would have thought a FRIEND would say."

"I know Jordan, and I feel so horrible. Knowing that I hurt you like that kills me every day. Ever since you met me you've forgiven me for every mistake that I've made. You have such a big heart and I'm so grateful for that and so angry at myself for trying to hurt that heart."

"You keep making the same mistakes over and over Paige. I don't know how many more chances I can give you."

"I know hon, I know. But I don't want to make any more mistakes. I don't want you to have to forgive me anymore."

"This is your last chance Michalchuk," I tell her. "Just don't make me regret it."

I lean over and Paige and I share a hug. I hear clapping behind me. I let go of Paige and turn around to see Alex clapping.

"Surprise surprise, once again Jordan forgives you Paige," Alex says.

"Listen Lexie, I know I said some horrible awful things to you and I wish I could take them back."

"But you can't," Alex says bitterly. "You can't take back your words or the things you've done. You can't travel back in time and stop yourself from saying those hurtful things."

"I know you're still mad at me Alex but I don't know what you want me to do. I don't know how many times I have to apologize."

"You think an apology is going to make everything better Paige?" Alex yells. "All you do is mess up and then you apologize and then you mess up again and once more you apologize. After a certain number of times "I'm sorry" doesn't mean shit."

"Well then I don't know what else you want me to do then Alex."

"I want you to stop hurting me!" Alex voice cracks and she's on the verge of tears. "You came into my life and you made it better and then you ripped that happiness away. I gave you my heart and you broke it! But I kept forgiving you only to be let down over and over. And then… And then you give me those letters! Why Paige, why would you give me those letters?"

Paige runs her hands through her hair. "Because I wanted you to know that although we weren't together I was still thinking aboot you. That I still cared aboot you. And I still do Alex."

"No, don't Paige, don't."

Paige stands up. "I still care aboot you Alex."

Alex stands up quickly. "No Paige that's not fair!" she yells. "You are not allowed to tell me that you still care aboot me!" Tears are falling down her face.

"Why not, if it's the truth?" Tears are now also falling down Paige's face.

I feel like this is a definite Palex moment and I'm just sitting here along for the ride.

"Because we'll fall back into the same old routine Paige. You'll admit that you still love me and then I'll tell you that I love you too thinking that this time it'll work but it actuality it won't. We'll just end up hurting each other and I can't let you hurt me, not again."

"I don't want to hurt you Alex."

Alex is shaking her head. "It doesn't matter Paige because we're not meant to be."

"Lexie…"

"No Paige. I'm with Sage now and I love her."

Paige wipes away a tear. "Well what does that mean for us?"

Alex walks over to Paige. "It means we can't be what we use to be."

Paige wipes away the tears that are falling down her face. "If we can't be what we use to be can we at least be friends? Please Alex. I miss you and I'd rather have you in my life than not at all."

"When life seemed to be kicking my ass someone gave me a helping hand and a second chance."

Alex is looking over at me. Wow, I must give a lot of people second chances.

"I can't promise the friendship we had in grade 11 Paige. I can't promise that I'll be able to put everything behind me and forget. All I can promise is to give you one last second chance."

"That's all I want," Paige says.

Oh my God, I'm seeing something I've haven't seen in MONTHS, Paige and Alex sharing a hug. Maybe, just maybe, there's hope for them yet.

A/N: So I have about 30 chapters I still need to do and I want to be done with this story by New Years. Lol, you know what that means!
