Paige ii.

AN: Guys this took FOREVER to write oh my gosh. I feel like that freaking SpongeBob meme when he wrote that paper. If there are spelling errors, ignore. If there are people who are no longer together that I mention, ignore that too. Just vibe, please. Also if y'all could comment, like, subscribe for my horrid free labor it would get greatly appreciated.

If you're reading Double Team, you may see some similarities in that and this ending, but not too much overlap.

This is bittersweet because it's my last update of Overtime and there hasn't been a story that I loved more than this one. Jessica is probably my favorite OC ever. Last year I had March Madness edits, Challenger edits, and a dream and this turned into something I could never imagine so if this brought you to my page thank you so much for reading and commenting you guys crashing out over the love triangle made me laugh through some tough times, so thank you so much.

Okay, I'm done ranting. Everyone enjoy!

Jessica was getting ready for the game against Indiana in her hotel room and was doing her makeup while Paige picked out her outfit. She'd flown in that morning and came to Jessica's hotel room with a suitcase filled with possible outfits.

"I love these pants," Jessica says as she grabs a pair of pants that had a zipper that went up the side and two short black stripes on the inside right knee. Paige pairs the pants with a white tank top and a pair of Vans.

"Suspenders," Paige tells her as she hands them to Jessica.

"Hot," Jessica says with a grin, "I love it."

Jessica changes letting the suspenders hand down rather than wearing this and looks at herself in the mirror before deciding to add a gold chain to the fit as well and a bucket hat. She steps out of the bathroom and Paige looks at her and smiles, nodding her head approvingly.

"Well reporter Jess is certainly dead," Paige says.

"No more pencil skirts for me or blazers or six-inch heels, though I do love a pair of red bottoms," Jessica says thoughtfully, "And I'll probably wear a dress to the ESPYs, but only to compliment you."

"You don't have to, if a suit is what you want then you wear it," Paige tells her.

Jessica looks at Paige with a shy smile and holds her arms up, "Do I look ridiculous? Be honest."

Paige shakes her head as she looks at Jessica, "You look really good. You're really pulling it off.  Thank that Twitter user because they saw the vision. You do look good in my clothes."

Jessica kicks up her leg daintily, "Thank you."

Paige laughs at her and shakes her head.

"So I've been having some very serious conversations with myself," Jessica says as she starts fixing her hair despite knowing that it was going to end up slicked back and in a braided ponytail by the time game time came around.

"About...?" Paige asks, watching with great interest as Jessica was doing her hair.

"I'm getting a dog," Jessica states, "I always wanted one as a kid and my mom didn't want fur in the house or on her furniture so I never got one but I'm an adult now, like I can totally have a dog, right?"

"Sure, but like who's watching the dog during away games?" Paige asks.

"Me!" Jessica says, "Megan brings Pancake everywhere. They can be best friends!"

Paige laughs, "If you think you're ready for a dog..."

Jessica turns and narrows her eyes at Paige, "Do you think I'm not ready?"
