Secret Crush

29

Paiges POV*

Right now I'm in the locker room changing. But all of the sudden I feel my heart beating more and more and I start getting really hot and breathing heavily. I know exactly what this is. 

I go to sit on the bench and try to take my deep breaths but its not working. What even caused this!? As I'm sitting down on the bench I hear someone walk in. I looked quickly and see that its Aubrey. 

"Paige?! Is everything okay what's going on?"She said and came over towards me.

"Its...I'm having a panic attack."I said in between breaths.

Aubrey stayed silent. I could feel her eyes still on me which made me embarrassed.

"Stay here hold on."Aubrey said then left.

I was sitting there alone and it just kept getting worse. I decided to get up and just start walking back and fourth counting down from 100.

Suddenly I hear someone walking in. This time it was Lana.

"Paige, its okay, its okay."She said as I immediately went to her and rested my cheek on her shoulder and just cried.

"Shhh."She said trying to calm me down.

"I don't even know why I'm having one right now."I stated while desperately trying to calm down.

"I know, sometimes they just happen."She replied.

Lana then pulled away and got my water bottle from my locker and handed it to me.

I took a sip of the water and went back to hug her because shes genuinely the one helping here. 

Time skip ( still Paiges POV)*

Right now Lana and I are back at her apartment and we're just cuddling watching a movie she randomly turned on. Lately i've been thinking that basketball is becoming super stressful and I might want to take a break.

"Lana."I said.

She looked at me.

"Yeah?"She replied.

"I think I want to take a break from basketball. Or maybe even...quit."I said.

"What? Why?"Lana asked sitting up In front of me.

"I don't know. Lately I've just been really stressed. I may not seem like it, but I am. It's been really hard for me."Once I got done with that sentence I started crying. Gosh, this is my second time today.

Lana held me in her arms as I cried on her shoulder.

"It's okay, its okay."Lana said softly while rubbing my back.

"Sorry."I said.

"About what?"Lana questioned.

"I've cried 2 times now, and you keep having to comfort me."I said.

"Paige, I would rather be here with you, than you being alone while crying."She replied.

I smiled at her then went back to laying down on her chest.

"So do you wanna have a self care night? To kinda distract you from everything in your mind."Lana asked.

"I'm down."I replied smiling at her.

"Okay well you go start yourself a shower and I'll bring in some products for you to use!"Lana said.

"Okay."I said laughing before walking into the bathroom and turning on the shower.

I heard Lana walking towards the bathroom and then she opened the door with her hands full of stuff.

"Oh...wow!"i said making her laugh.

"Okay so first your just gonna wash you hair, and then you will use this vannila scented body wash, then use this vannila scented body scrub and then once you get out the shower use this vannila body butter, and then use this body oil."Lana said while placing everything down.

"You really want me smelling like vannila don't you."I said raising my eyebrows at her.

"Well I figured you would like it. Anyways I'll leave now. Oh and by the way after your shower we're gonna make cinnamon rolls and do face masks."Lana said before leaving.

She's so cute. 

Lana's POV*

I really hope Paige thinks about her choice on her basketball career. I mean yes mental health is very hard to overcome. But she truly is going to go far. I have no doubt that she won't change her mind and she will continue playing the sport. Anyways I'm changing into my pj's right now and I just took my makeup off.

Aubrey is out with a few people from the wbb team right now so she won't be home for a bit. Just in case you were wondering. 

Suddenly I see Paige come out the bathroom in her grey Nike sweatpants and a black t-shirt.

"Do you feel all clean and better noww!"I said cupping her face making her smile.

"Yeahhh."She replied.

"Alrighty well lets go put on the face masks and then we can make some cinnamon rolls but lets put them on quick because I'm really hungry and cinnamon rolls sound really good right now."I said.

"Ooo someone's hangry."Paige joked.

I laughed.

Paige and I grabbed our face masks and put them on our face making sure they sat on our faces right.

I then grabbed Paiges hand and we went into the Kitchen.

"Finally what i've been waiting for."I said grabbing the cinnamon rolls out the fridge.

"Thank you for doing this from me Lana."Paige said keeping her eyes on me as I walked back and fourth grabbing things.

"Your welcome Paige."I replied smiling at her before giving her a kiss on the cheek then started to place the unbaked cinnamon rolls into a pan then putting them in the oven.

"Well while we wait can we take a nap?"Paige asked.

"That sounds good, but make sure to set a loud alarm so that we don't over cook the cinnamon rolls."I replied.

"Okay, I will."Paige answered.

Paige and I then went to my room and curled up into the covers and cuddling each other.

I gave Paige a little kiss on the cheek again before closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep.

Time skip*

I woke up and saw that Paige was gone.

"Paige?!"I yelled confused.

"I'm in the kitchen!"She replied.

I got up from the bed and saw her icing the cinnamon rolls. Awww.

"Your adorable."I said with a smile on my face walking towards her as she smiled at me.

"You didn't wake up when the alarm went off so I made sure I did so they wouldn't burn."Paige explained while icing the last one.

"Thank you!"I said.

We grabbed two each then went back into my room and put on 10 things I hate about you.

"Do you think it would be bad for me to grab another one?"I asked Paige.

"I mean I was about to go get another one."Paige replied.

"Okay then I'll get another one too."I said making Paige smile at me while shaking her head.
