Cupcakes

Chapter 13

When we got to the arena it was basically the same thing we always did when we go to work. Only thing is this time we got nothing but stares as we walked down the halls. Not because we were holding hands but more of because what happened last night with Paige and Corey. I'm sure they all know by now gossip like that spreads like wildfire around here. Then again it could be the fact that here I am walking with the woman who took my belt from me twenty four hours ago. But I know that's not even close to why they are staring at us. We're a big family backstage and when something happens we all will find out within two days of it happening. Right now we actually have to go to Hunter's office because he called me while we were on the way here that first thing we have to do when we get here is come to his office.

"What do you think he's going to say?" Asked Paige as she turned to look at me. She is wearing her shades to cover her eye I assume. I don't blame her at this point, it's completely black and purple now and it's very noticeable against her porcelain skin.

"I don't know. Probably about what that monster did to you." I murmured.

"Oh yeah you're probably right."

"Paige you do know if you decide to press charges against him you're going to have to tell them everything that happened. I mean you're going to have to tell it to them in detail and all. Are you prepared to do that?" I don't want to put her through anything that will make her feel uncomfortable. But she stopped walking and turned to look at me. She then took off her sunglasses and looked me in the eyes.

"I know, but it's like you said it's the right thing to do. As long as you promise to be by my side every step of the way."

"I've been here with you since day one and I don't have any plans on changing that." I lightly smiled getting her to briefly smile before it disappeared. "Paige I know you'll be fine okay. You are probably one of the strongest women I know today you've been knocked down so many times and each time you got back up on your own two feet. So I know we'll be okay."

"Where would I be without you?" She smirked a little bit.

"Probably lost out in a random desert." I shrugged as I began to lead us down the hallway again.

"You really are one of a kind." She chuckled. Before we knew it we were at Hunter's office and so I knocked.

"Ladies come in have a seat." Spoke Steph as she opened the door. I let Paige go in first before me. When we got in there I noticed that there were two State Troopers, and a lady in all black that had a vest on that read TSP Forensics. That caught my attention because she was standing next to a fairly big black square box. We sat down in the chairs that were there.

"Ladies this here is Detective Grissom, Detective Bonasera and Detective Stokes. Because of our constantly moving schedule the boys never got a chance to take your statements last night. And so they are going to need those from the both of you. Is there anyone else backstage who knew about this?" Asked Hunter with a very serious face and tone.

"Umm no Aj is the only one I ever told." Paige answered.

"Okay and Aj what about you?"

"I haven't told anyone anything but you guys. I did talk to John but he only knows about what happened yesterday morning. I had to explain to him why I needed to keep her in his room. Oh and Randy went with me to go get her stuff from their room, He saw what I usually see when Corey tries to get Paige to forgive him." I said honestly.

"Okay well then we'll have to get a statement from them too. Anyway everything else from here on out is out of our hands. We did all we could now we gotta turn you guys over to the law." Murmured Hunter as he gathered his papers of the desk and stood up. He then walked over to us. "I'm on your side. If you ever need anything just give Steph or myself a call." He spoke softly before walking over to his wife.
