paige's pov.

i walk to y/n's dorm room, a smile on my face. i walk down the hallway, watching hudson exit y/n's room. her eyes shift to me, her eyes opening widely. "hey hudson!" i yell, waving. she jogs over towards me with a weary look in her eye. i raise my eyebrows as she reaches me, "what a greeting?" i joke sarcastically, letting her catch her breath. "paige, you can't go in there." she expresses, huffing. i've never seen a supposed athlete out of breath. "why not? if she's in the shower, even better." i giggle at my own joke. she rolls her eyes as she continues. "she's..like sick. not good, you can't get sick or geno will kill us." i raise an eyebrow, she might be right. but i don't have practice until tuesday, just shoot arounds over the weekend. "i'll be fine, let me go see her." i brush past hudson, walking to y/n's dorm. i hear hudson's voice yelling in disagreement behind me. but nothing could really stop me. i missed her, and i wanted to see my girl. 

i lightly knock before walking in, seeing y/n curled in her bed. i hear soft snores coming from her, making my mouth upturn into a smile. she was so cute. i set my things down before coming to sit at her bed. i run my hands through her hair, "hi baby." i whisper, watching her eyes flutter. she pulls down the sheets, uncovering the rest of her face. my eyes widened as i look at her tearstained face and bloodshot eyes. "hey p." she whispers, her voice raspy. "are you okay, hudson told me you were sick?" i ask, scooting next to her. she lays her head on my shoulder, letting out a sigh. "i'm not, just upset." she wipes her eyes, which have let out a few tears. i wrap my arms around her, feeling her warm embrace. "upset over what?" i ask, rubbing her back. "just, alot. it's nothing really. i'll be fine." she whispers, giving a light smile. i believed not a word she said, but i couldn't force her to talk to me. so, i'll be here instead. "okay baby. you know i'm here." i whisper, planting a kiss on her head. i hated seeing her like this. i had no idea what caused it, but i could try to fix it. "thank you, paige." she whispers, putting the blankets over us. i scoot closer to her, as she lays ontop of me. "y/n, i was thinking.." i started to talk, i really wanted to talk to her about how i was feeling, but instead i was interrupted with her snores. i let out a small chuckle before joining her, and letting myself fall asleep.

y/n's pov.

i wake up on top of a sleeping paige. she was still in her practice clothes, her hair braided in her signature pony. i roll over, facing the wall. i let myself sit in peace before all of the thoughts come back. caitlin. paige. choices. i groan, i can't even sleep without thinking about it. i feel hands pull me close. paige wraps her arms around my waist, pushing our bodies together. i let myself smile, this is why i care. because for a moment i could pretend to be falling in love, and not worry about anything else. i feel her warm lips press soft kisses into my neck. i let a small giggle. "hello there, beautiful." she whispers into my ear, her voice raspy. i roll over, facing her. i look into her blue eyes, as the light hits them, i see how honestly gorgeous they are. "hi." i smile, pecking a kiss on her lips. "we slept for soo long." i say, checking my phone. "i'm such a fan of naps." she smiles, kissing my temple as i go through my phone. she watches as i snap people back. "cait clark!! texted you." i feel my body tense as the notification flashes over my phone. i sit in silence, not knowing if she saw it or not. "clark?" she whispers, removing her hands from my waist. i go to open the message, hoping it would help the situation.

cait clark!!: you left your cheer skirt here, shipped it back. here's the tracking.

i let out a sigh of relief, showing paige the message. paige and i have never claimed to be exclusive, but caitlin was a sensitive topic. which was hilarious, knowing why i was sobbing this morninhg. "oh okay." she mumbles, before pulling me back into her. i set my phone down, trying to let myself savor these moments. the uninterrupted moments of bliss, where i didn't have to feel guilty about having feelings for two people. where i could just be hers and she could just be mine.
