A/N: Thank you EVERYONE for the reviews on the last chapter. I asked for two and got four. Maybe I should threaten not post anymore updates until i get a certain amount of reviews more often. lol

XxkoeyxX: Thank you for that. It really means a lot to me that you said that. I've been watching a lot of season 5 and 6 episodes of Degrassi to make sure I stay true to the characters of Alex and Paige.

Scrabbles: Heeeeyyy! Haven't heard from you in awhile. I'm glad I have you guess on your toes =)

-Fifth update of Dec. 28 at 6:35 pm EST

Disclaimer: I FINALLY own Glee: The Complete First Season on DVD. I do not own Degrassi or its characters thou. That's ok because I have Glee! *GLEE*

There comes a point in time where you just have to let go. You have to let the person go and be free, in hopes that they make the right decisions for themselves. Once you let them go you have to let them make their own decisions and support them no matter what. But what happens when you believe that person has made a bad decision? What do you do?

I'm in the kitchen right now drinking some tea that Beth prepared for me. Alex left only twenty minutes ago and part of me wanted to run after her and tell her that she did not make the right decision. Part of me still wants to run after her, I think I could make it to the airport in time. But I know that in my heart her decision is the right one, for her.

"You can't force someone to love someone else," Beth tells me.

I sigh. "I know it's just… I thought she was going to choose Paige."

"You told her to choose with her heart and that's what she did."

"Yeah…"

Knock knock!

I look at Beth with a questioning look on my face. She's looking at me with the same expression. Who would be knocking on our door at 5:30 in the morning?

Knock knock! Knock knock knock!

The knocking has turned frantic. Beth and I jumped out of our seats and run to the door. Beth reached the door first and without even looking, she yanks open the door. A person rushes past us.

"Alex!" Paige is yelling. "Alex!"

Ok, well Paige completely just pushed us out of the way. She's really strong when she's in a rush. Beth closes the front door. She's looking at me with the same sad look I have on my face.

"Alex!" Paige yells again. "Lexie I want to talk to you!"

"Paige," I call out her name.

"Alex!"

"Paige!" I yell her name.

Paige looks at me. "Where's Alex?" she asks, with defeat in her voice. She already knows the answer.

"Alex left about twenty minutes ago," I tell her.

"Well then I can still catch her!"

Paige rushes to the door but I step in her path. Paige is trying to push through me.

"Let me go Jordan!" she yells. "Let me go!" Paige starts hitting me.

"Paige she's gone," I tell her.

"No! She can't be gone! I love her! I told her I loved her!"

Paige is still hitting me, trying to get to the door. I grab her shoulders and hold her still. Paige stops moving frantically and looks at me. The sight before me is breaking my heart. Paige's eyes are puffy, swollen and red. She looks like she hasn't slept in hours and tears are falling down her face.

"I'm sorry Paige," I say sincerely. "Alex went to New York."

Paige breaks down. She slowly falls to the floor but I fall with her. She's in my arms now crying.

"But I told her I love her," she cries.

"I know I know," I say while patting her back.

"I love her."

I have my arms wrapped around Paige. I'm whispering to her that everything is going to be ok. I signal to Beth to get a blanket out of the hall closet. Beth gets the hint and walks down the hall. She brings back a blanket and drapes it over me and Paige.

"Shh, it's ok," I whisper to Paige. "It's ok."

Paige continues crying into my shoulder. I look up at Beth and I see her eyes shining. I know Beth and about to cry and I am too as I hold a girl who just had her heart broken.

Later:
How do you cure a broken heart? People have been trying to answer that question for centuries. The answer: only time can heal a broken heart. That and for the delusional people, alcohol also helps.

Beth and I finally got Paige to stop crying, well to cry less. I had to change my shirt because she soaked it with her tears, no lie. Paige and I are sitting down on the couch right now watching Global Weather. I figured the news would be a little too much for her right now. Beth is in the kitchen right now cooking Venezuelan Chicken Soup. I asked her what the difference was between that and regular chicken soup. She said Venezuelan Chicken Soup has a richer taste.

"Our top story tonight," the reporter says. "East Coast prepares for a big snow storm. Already the northern states are experiencing snow. Earlier this year the whole eastern seaboard was hit with what we now call Snowpocalypse. Although this snow storm isn't predicted to be the same magnitude as Snowpocalypse people are taking precautions."

I hear Paige's breath hitch. I rub her shoulders.

"Hey reporters always make things seem bigger than they are," I tell her.

Beth is walking into the living room with a steaming bowl of soup. I could see the steam from about twenty feet away. I place one of our TV tray stands in front of Paige and Beth places the bowl down in front of her.

"Venezuelan Chicken Soup," Beth says proudly. "I used my abuela's recipe."

Alright something is buzzing in my pocket. I pull my cell phone out. Alex's name is flashing across the screen. I look at Beth and Paige.

"Barry from work," I tell them while pointing at my cell phone, making sure Paige can't see the name of the real caller. "Probably wants to ask me some ridiculous question."

I get up from my seat and go into the kitchen. I'm far enough in the kitchen to not be overheard. I flip open my phone.

"Hey."

"Hey," Alex says. "I just called to tell you I landed safely at JFK."

"Alright, thanks for calling. We're watching Global Weather and the reporter just said a snow storm is about to hit the east coast."

"Yeah it's been snowing here for awhile but it's not that bad. And why are you and Beth watching Global Weather? You sound like an old married couple now."

"Umm… well actually Paige is here."

"…Paige is there?" Alex says with concern in her voice.

"Yeah she came over about twenty minutes after you left."

"Can I talk to her?"

I sigh. "Alex I don't think that would be a good thing right now. She's not really in the mood to talk to anyone."

"Oh ok," she sounds defeated. "… Well please tell her that I said everything is going to be ok."

"Ok, I'll do that."'

"Hey I gotta go. I finally got a taxi."

"Should you really be out while it's snowing?"

"Jordan there isn't even that much snow on the ground," she says. "Besides New Yorkers know how to drive in the snow, I'll be ok."

"Alright Alex, just be careful please."

"I will don't worry. Love ya."

"Love you too. Call me later! Bye."

"Bye."

I close my phone shut. Nothing worries me more than snow on the roads. I walk out of the kitchen back into the living room. Beth and Paige are now watching Disney Channel. They turn their heads and look at me.

"That was just Barry asking me how to turn the weather update on," I lie. "He's so hopeless sometimes."

"You don't have to lie hon," Paige says. "I know it was Alex."

I sigh. "Yeah, she called to say she got to New York safely. And she wanted me to tell you that everything is going to be ok."

Paige snickers. "Easy for her to say," she says bitterly. "She's not the one who just had her heart ripped out of her chest!"

The crying has begun again. Paige leans into Beth and starts crying on her shoulder. Beth wraps her arms around Paige and is giving me a look telling me I shouldn't have said anything. I throw my hands up.

"What?" I mouth.

Paige continues crying as Beth is patting her back. I better go get Beth a replacement shirt.

Later:
It's nine at night and we finally got Paige to sleep. Paige wanted to go home but Beth and I both knew that Paige being by herself right now was not a good idea. Paige is downstairs sleeping on the couch. We told her she could take the comfortable bed in the room but she refuses to come upstairs. Right now Beth and I are lying in bed together.

"What are we going to do?" I ask.

"I don't know," Beth says. "I've never seen her like this. I mean yeah she was upset after the whole Hollywood disaster but she wasn't THIS upset."

"Well she didn't have her heart broken in L.A. She just lost some of her friends."

"I don't know which one is worst."

Beth and I turn our heads and look at each other.

"Losing friends," we both say at the same time.

I sigh. "Well you know what they say," I start. "Everything looks better in the morning."

"Maybe," Beth says sadly.

I turn off the bedside lamp and put my arms around Beth.

"Te amo," Beth whispers.

"Te amo tambien," I whisper back.

Middle of the Night:
Zzzzz! Zzzzz! Zzzzz!

What is that?

Zzzz! Zzzz!

Is that my phone vibrating? I slowly open my eyes. I look at my clock. Who the hell is calling me at midnight? Whoever it is, is about to get their ass handed to them. I pick up my phone off my bedside table and look at the caller ID. I don't recognize this number. I flip open my phone.

"Hello?" I say tiredly.

"Hello is this Jordan Johnson?" the other person, who sounds like a female, asks.

"Jordan Johnson-Perez… Yeah, this is Jordan Johnson. Who is this?"

"My name is Nancy Garmin, I'm a nurse at St. Matthews hospital here in Manhattan. I'm calling you about Alex Nuñez."

Holy shit! That sure woke me up. I sit up straight.

"She has you listed as her emergency contact," Nurse Nancy says.

"Yeah, she's my sister. What's wrong with Alex?"

"Well ma'am it seems that Miss Nuñez was involved in a car accident."

Car accident. Car accident. Car accident.

A/N: HUGE CLIFFHANGER! a huge cliff hanger like this one deserves at least five reviews =)
