" what the hell is this? "

paige flinched as she walked in the house.

" nic i- "

she turned to face him. he was standing feet away, holding up the article on his phone.

" they make up rumors all the time. "

he didn't say anything. paige sighed and walked pass him. nic grabbed her arm and spun her around.

" paige. "

he searched her eyes.

" are you and- "

" no. "

she interrupted him. she lied to him. she hated lying to people.

he nodded and let her go. he backed away and plopped down on the couch.

paige grabbed her hoodie.

" you can go. "

he looked at her when her hand touched the door knob.

" go be happy. "

her heart dropped when he said those words.  she didn't move.

he got up from his seat, walking over to her.

" paige... all i want is for you to be happy and i failed to do that. go be happy with him. i'll be fine. i promise. "

her heart sunk. she let go of the knob and hugged him.

" i love you. "

he knew what she meant.

he chuckled.

" love you too. "

he ran his fingers through her hair a couple of times before she let go.

paige opened the door and looked back at him.

he smiled at her and closed the door behind her.
