Its has been 3 weeks almost a month since Lucas wreck. He was still in coma, people would come in and out from visiting he had flowers all over his room and balloons. Paige would stay all night, Kelvin would be back in forth with his son simply because his son has school.

Paige and Tony were getting close. But Paige didn't know anymore who she wants to be with. Her heart is with Lucas but Tony did things for her she never witness in a relationship. She was stuck. Tony knows she'll be at the hospital for hours with Lucas. He had left the day after Lucas got in the accident to finish his basketball season on the road.

Paige & Tony would FaceTime everyday. Sometimes he'll get jealous when Paige would answer and in the room with Lucas. Paige was typing on her Macbook, she was interrupt by Tony Facetime call. Paige smiled and answered. "Wassup girl" He said

"Hey !" Paige sat up on the couch

"Still at the hospital I see" Paige sigh

"Duh, where else I'm going to be?" She ask

"Well, I dont know. Home getting ready for work. It's 12 in the morning there."

Paige rolled her eyes. "I took off for a couple of days. I go in next Wednesday"

"So now you putting your life on hold for this nigga?" Paige could hear the anger in his voice

"I didnt say that I- I just... I dont need to explain myself to you." Paige hung up and closed her Macbook. She stood up and walked to Lucas bed side. She started to hold his hand. She stared at him, he started fluttering his eyes and moved his finger. Paige gasp and ran to get a nurse.

When a nurse and doctor came in the room, they assured Paige he was up. He wouldn't be able to get out his words, but he could try when he's ready.

Paige stood near his bed side. "You want some Ginger Ale?" She asked. He simply nodded. She open the can pouring some in a small cup with a straw, she put it up to his lips and started sucking on the straw. "Did you hear anything while you was..." she paused "you know." She gave her a puzzled look and shook his head.

"Well since I know your up and well, I should head home. Have some work to do" Paige lied, she didn't have work to do she just needed to get out this awkward moment. She started packing her laptop, Lucas groan and cleared his throat.

"W- Why you here?" He managed to say clearing his throat in the process. He sound raspy. Paige turned around and had nothing to say.

"I- I um..." She was about to continue the sentence but Lucas started to speak again, over her.

"You spent the night?" He ask looking at her things. Paige only nodded, a smirk came upon his face. But when right away when he remembered he's still mad.

"I- I'm sorry. I shoulda been there for you from the get go. Lucas I was scared. Im still scared actually, But I stayed here day in and day out. I told my job I wouldn't be able to work, knowing you're in this type of condition. I thought long and hard about it and I apologize" Paige said getting teary eyed.

Lucas cleared his throat. "What about ole dude? I saw ya'll that night, your door was unlock, guess ya'll couldn't wait.. Paige I'm not gonna sit here and try to be all hard saying that didn't hurt. Because it did."

Paige interrupt him. "I know and I'm sorry. And you having a daughter hurt me Lucas. I was suppose to be the first!" She semi yelled with tears coming down her face.

"Paige-"

"No Lucas, I need my ti-"

"You're not about to do this !" Lucas leaned all the way up. "Stop running from your problems ! We're talking bout this right here right now. No more time! Understood ?". She stood there looking at Lucas and wiping her tears, she nodded sitting down."

Lucas laid back down. "Now I understand so much has happened, I understand we have a past that has downfalls and I know I was in the wrong. and I apologized so many times, it's up too you what you wanna do"

Paige shrug. "I don't know yet.." She stoop up with her things. "I'll find out soon" She open the door and leaves Lucas wondering.
