in like.. seventh grade." I say, "It was just a kiss. I got in trouble with my parents, and snuck out with Patrick to a party... long story short, at the end of the night I kissed Jason."  I sigh. 

 

"You have history with my brother." He says, trying to figure it out. 

 

"No! Jake it was a kiss meaningless. He was making fun of me because I still hadn't kissed anyone... and I was mad and had a bit to drink." I say, sitting up. Jake is already sitting. I sit next to him, grabbing his jaw. I turn him so he is looking at me. "Why?" I ask, wanting to really know how he feels. Not just that he hates his brother, but why it bothers him so much with me and not the other girls. 

 

"Because it's going to happen eventually." He says, looking me in the eye. "They all always end up with him in the end."  I drop my hand from his face. I back away my chest aching.  His words ringing in my head, they... he grouped me with the other girls. All the other girls. That's what I am to him, another girl who is just a damn slut. 

 

"I wonder why." I stand up, unsure if I should leave. I want to, but I think we're fighting... it's a bit early for a walk out. 

 

"What is that supposed to mean?" He stands up. 

 

"Maybe they all go to him because he is actually a nice guy, and because he treats them better then you do." I say, trying to keep me out of the group of other girls. 

 

"Nice guy? He's a nice guy? You are just like the others, I thought that just maybe you wouldn't fall for his shit. I thought that maybe for once I wo-.. you know what... nevermind." He says. I take a deep breath wishing he would just speak his mind and not hold back. I want to know what he is feeling and thinking! 

 

"Are you comparing me to all the other girls you have been with?" I whisper. 

 

"Am I?" He asks me back. 

 

"When you actually want to talk to me, just let me know." I role my eyes, not wanting to deal with this. I should've just said what I panned on saying! Instead I came here like a slut and jumped him.  "Goodbye, Jake." I say,  he does't say a thing to me. I close the door, quietly and walk back downstairs. Now I don't care if anyone sees me, oh well. I'll just be another damn rumor for him. 

 

"Paige?" Wyatt stops me. "What are you doing? You finish a session with Jake?" He asks. 

 

"Yeah." I say, even thouh I have no school things with me. "Hey I gotta get going.." I sigh, gesturing towards the door. 

 

"Oh yea me too... Carmen and I are going out." He smiles. 

 

"She cheated on you." It's out before I even think about the concequences. He is confused, and at first he smiles slightly thinking I joking, but when I don't say anything his smiles fades.  

 

"What?" He asks, stepping closer. 

 

"I'm sorry.. I shouldn't have said anything.." I begin. Running my hands through my hair I realize I'm just lashing out at him because of the fight with Jake. He grabs my wrists, not in harsh way or a mean way, just so I don't run away. His eyes are pleading with me to tell him.  "I saw her and R- some other guy... in the bathroom this week." I say shaking my head. 

 

"What other guy?" he asks. 

 

"I.. I don't know who it was." I lie, not wanting to drag Robbie into this. He lets go of my hands, and he steps away.  "I'm sorry.. I'm so so sorry." I say, god I'm a slut and a bitch. I walk away, and go back to my room. Pacing in a circle, I realize I'm not going to get any sleep. I'm going to pace and rant in my head for hours on end.  I ignore my phone that rings three times, and I just go with the flow as I clean my room and re-organize my closet and dresser. 

 

"Paige!? I know you're in there!" Carmen's high pitched angery voice yells on the other side. then she pounds on the door, and that's what makes me jump not her high pithed yelling. I stop cleaning, and I freeze staring at my door. Oh shit.  "Let me in right this damn second!" 

 

"You're going to wake up the people in China!" I say opening the door. "What?"

 

"What did you tell Wyatt?" She demands, getting right up in my face. 

 

"It was an accident it slipped out... I didn't mean to tell him." I say shaking my head trying to wrap everything in and get it out. 

 

"What on earth did you see?!" She asks. 

 

"You and Robbie in the fucking bathroom at school!" I yell, so much for keeping everything quiet. 

 

"What were you doing in the boys bathroom?" I laugh at her. Out of all the things she could say or ask that's it! Nothing about why I didn't come to her first, or why I told Wyatt.  

 

"I stumbled in there... no reason, I was hiding from people that's not the point! What were you doing with Robbie? What were you doing with Robbie when you have a boy friend?!" 

 

"Robbie needed to let off steam.. he always come to me. Especially when it's you he is upset with. What did you do to upset him this time huh? It's what the... ninth time he's came to me this year." She tries to rub it in my face. 

 

"I don't care how many times you two were fucking each other! I care that you hurt someone you supposedly cared about!" 

 

"What about Robbie, Paige? Huh? You're been leading him on for years since middle school." 

 

"I have not!" I say, and my anger doubles. In middle school yeah I flirted with him, but it stopped when he showed no interest in me. I  know I haven't lead him on at all, if anything I've told him off! "What ever.. you two have fun. I'm done with you're shit." I say I can't deal with this anymore. I'm so used to a drama free life, that all of this crap is hard for me to handle. I'm normally calm and good at working out problems, but recently that has changed. 

 

"What ever." She sneers and then she slams my door.  I grab my pillow and scream into it. I leave my room, wanting air, but not wanting to be on campous. I go to the head house where the night guards are... yes we have night guards that way kids don't sneak off campous.. they never bust parties though.  I ask if I can go out and do some shopping they of course have no problems with it, they know I'm a good kid.  At least some people think I am. 

Chapter 34- Eye Opener

Paige's POV

 

Sitting in the park at night isn't as bad as some people think. Yeah, it's dark, and some what creepy... but it is also nice and relaxing. Know one else is here, it's quiet, I don't need to worry about being seen or being talked to or yelled at. Although sitting here... without anyone to talk to and no music is some what tiring. I'm just watching as cars drive by or stray animal floats by. I lay back, letting out a yawn. I should've went someone where I could talk to someone. I should've went to Mr. Parker... but then again I don't want him knowing about the whole Jake thing. What would he think of me? I know I wouldn't keep the respect he has for me if he knew... but keeping it bottle up is that any better?....

Jake's POV

****

 

I set my pencil down on my desk, and rub my eye. I can't focus on my homework, especially history right now. Paige and I had a fight. I said some pretty cruel things, and she walked out. That's the first time a girl has walked out on me like that. I don't like the feeling it gives me at all. I don't understand what's happening though. Her and Jason or her and me? They have a past. Not really I guess it's just one kiss. But that makes it all worse for me. Jason knows Paige as held an attraction for him, he knows how to bend and work that to his advantage. He is here for her. He is here to ruin my life by taking her. Although... I'm also pushing her away, thus ruining my own life.  

 

Looking back down at my history that is still untouched, I sigh, I need to fix this. I'm mad at myself for comparing her to the other girls, I never ever would rank them together. Paige is a completly new ball game for me and I don't know how to handle her. She came here wanting something... what I don't know, so I go and talk to her. I get up throwing a shirt on and my shoes. I open my door, and Mr. Parker is there holding up his hand ready to knock.

 

"Jake." He greets, and his eyes scan the room behind me.

 

"Mr. Parker?" I ask, moving so he can see inside better. If it's some drug check he ain't gonna find any. "Do you need something?"

 

"Not from you know... just looking." he sighs, I glance at my clock. It's 2:32 in the morning. Whoa! Damn Paige is probably sleeping... Wait. What is he looking for at this time in the morning?

 

"For?"  I ask, since he thinks he'd find it in my room.

 

"Ms. Easton." He says, "I checked with her friends already none of them have seen her." He sighs, my chest tightens. "Well, I didn't mean to  bother you.." he says turning.

 

"Where is she?" I ask. "I can help look... if you want. I was going to go for a run anyways."

 

"No it's fine. We've already got half the security team and your brother looking." He says, and then he is going downstairs. Jason's looking for her. Yeah, I'm going. I follow behind him, he didn't tell me I couldn't. I stay with Mr. Parker and we walk around school grounds searching for her.  Apparently Jason went off campous, and the guards are out drving around for her. We haven't ever had a missing student before, and the fact that it's Paige is bad. God I hope she is okay, and that it's not my faul. Even though it is my fault. I said some nastly things, I pushed her to far. 

 

After two hours of finding nothing, we stop at the dinner. Mr. Parker wants coffee. We sit at the bar, it's now four so it's open so teachers can come in and get coffee and breakfast. Also track runners and people how go to the gym early come in.

 

"What's Jake Lincoln doing up this early?" Trevor ask,  smirking at me. He is one of the guys in the group.. it's a reall big group. I don't want to tell him that I'm trying to help find a missing person, especially with him being the guy who gets all the shit and
