~The Guy That Saved Me~

Chapter 11 (Reid's house)

~Paige POV~

To be in Reid's arms was like heaven, he actually cared about my well being unlike most guys. I still lay with Reid on my bed until his phone begins to vibrate. "Hey it's mom I got to go," he says as he kisses my forehead and walks out.

It was just me in my small petite room. I flop onto my bed and look up at the ceiling fan. I kept thinking about what my dad was gonna say when he got home especially because I had left the night before. I finally sit up and walk over to my drawer and put my ten dollars back in the piggy bank.

I hear a slam of the front door and large footsteps down the hallway. I grab my arms as I hear my father yell, "PAIGE OWENS!!!!" I walk to my door and open it hesitantly. I look to see my dad with his arms folded as he pulls his fist back but stops himself. I shield my face and look up to see my dad crying.

"Dad?" I ask touching his shoulder. "Paige...I-I'm so sorry honey," he says as he forces a hug unto me. I begin to cry along with my dad. "I never meant for this to happen, honey...I just need to stop drinking," says my dad as he kisses my forehead. "How bout we go to the movies tonight," he says wiping his tears away and smiles faintly. I nod my head yes and he walks to his bedroom. 

I shut my bedroom door and lie on my bed I think about what my dad had just said to me and I didn't know if he was just doing this so I would choose him or if he actually meant it. 

~Reid POV~

After I left Paige's house I headed home. I arrived to see my sisters outside playing with Tiff and Alex. I walked inside and saw mom and Jay talking about school. Jay was arguing that the teacher wasn't fair to give him this grade and what not but she wasn't buying it.

She sent Jay off to his room and shifted her attention to me. She pointed at me with her index finger and motioned for me to sit on the counter. I did as she went on and on about chicks being in my room with the door shut and locked. I just agreed with her and left to my room.

I pulled out my phone and decided to call and ask Paige on a date. 

"Hey" I said.

"Hey" she replied.

"Whatcha doin?"

"Just thinking"

"Bout'?"

"My dad"

"What did he say...did he hurt you *angry emoji*"

"No..I'll explain everything tomorrow at school"

"Oh okay, hey I was wondering do you maybe wanna like go out tonight..you owe me *wink emoji*"

"I can't"

"Oh...okay igtg tho"

"Alright bye *kissy emoji*"

"LOL bye *kissy emoji*"

I finally lied on my bed and began to fall asleep with Paige's shirt...NOT CREEPY!!!

~Paige POV~

I finally got dressed for the movies and we drove the thirty minutes. It was pretty boring but it was the thought that dad even wanted to do this that made me happy! 

We headed home after the movie and headed straight to bed..because it was a school night...I was so tired I instantly fell asleep.
