Broken Heart

Chapter 22 : The guest bedroom incident

A/N : I know I didn't update yesterday. The image above shows how I feel about that. There was a mini crisis in the morning, and then my back randomly started hurting really bad when I was going to go to bed, which is also when I update. It hurt so bad it felt like I was going to throw up, but I didn't. So that's why there was no update yesterday. And now we have company over for the week, so updates might be limited... Hopefully this somewhat longish chapter makes up for yesterday though...

Chapter 22

Morning...

Riker POV

When I woke up, nobody was watching me.

Weird.

I got my phone, and called Paige.

"Hello?"

"Paige... I was wondering if you wanted to come over to hang out today..." I said, nervously.

"Yeah, sure. When do you want me to come over?"

"Um... Now?"

"Ok."

She hung up. I didn't really bother to go get dressed. I mean, she's seen me in my pjs thousands of times.

I answered the door when she got here. And the funny thing was, she was wearing her pjs too.

We went to the living room together.

"So why'd you want me to come over?" Paige asked, sitting next to me.

I put my arm around her, and she moved closer to me.

"I don't know... I just... feel sort of weird, I guess..."

"Weird, how?"

"Well... nobody was watching me when I woke up... They're probably all asleep upstairs, but... I don't know. I don't like being alone."

"Oh really? Because you told me the other day that you wanted to be alone."

"Yeah, well now that I am alone, I don't like it. I just don't feel safe."

"So we're back to that again?"

"I can't help it... Paige, my dad found something weird last night..."

"What do you mean?"

"On the internet. About your family and stuff."

"What are you talking about?"

"Is your last name Reynolds?"

"Yeah?"

"Ok... Well there was something about your parents... They were killed in a car accident because of a drunk driver."

"I already knew that, Riker."

"Yeah, but do you know who that drunk driver was?"

"No?"

"Carly Smith."

Paige just looked up at me, confused.

"Carly Smith just so happens to be the cousin of Alyssa and Macy. They're related."

Paige stared off into space.

"You ok?" I asked.

"Yeah... That's just... weird..."

"Yeah, I know, right?"

"That's... very weird..."

I looked at her.
