Paige's PoV
I was released from hospital 3 days later. I still cry every night. I even tried to commit suicide but kaydi and Leo had caught me. They were so upset that I didn't want to try again I hurt so much so I don't hurt others. It's been 1 week since Ethan has died. Every morning that I don't go to work I get up and walk to the park , it's so calm so peaceful. Nathan still wants me to do the case , I don't know if I can. I can't bring myself to even think about it.

I haven't really spoke to Leo and others that much , I juts like being alone. It's the same routine everyday. Get up , get dressed , go to work , come home. It's like I'm stuck on the replay button.

I get up and put on my clothes , I chuck my hair up and leave. I walk into the firm and Nathan pulls me aside."we need to talk" he said. I role my eyes . "Okay" I say and we walk up to his office , he's probably stressing out because the trial for Graysons case is tomorrow.

When we walk in Leo and kaydi are in there as usual, there sorting out paper work. "Paige , your going to represent Julian tomorrow okay ?" Said kaydi , "I cant" I simply state. "Oh it's not a question Paige it's an order" says Nathan shouting sternly. "Yer okay whatever." I go and sit down.

So the charges are write down on the paper, I look at them

Kidnappings
Murder
Abuse
Neglect
Torture
Gang leader
Drug dealer

Blah blah blah I can't be bothered to read anymore.

"So Paige this is what's gonna happen tomorrow , your going to go into court , tell them Julian's alibi, ..." I cut Nathan off "I fucking know how this goes , I've been to hundreds of them." I say "ohh someone's snappy today." He winks at me. I pretend to gag.

I stand up from the chair and leave . I can't deal with his shit today. I go and get a coffee. There's a girl in front of me , she has a leather jacket on and a red crop top , her dark chocolatey hair is pulled right into a pony tail. Where have I seen her before. I rub my chin , I'm in deep thought. Once she's done with her coffee she turns around.

She faces me , we make awkward eye contact for 5 seconds , she whispers something under her breath , she hurry's away so fast that I notice something fly of her t - shirt , it's visitors badge , it's says her name too but her handwriting is hard to read I can't make out what it says. I think it says  Olivia.

Olivia where have I heard that name before , I shrug my shoulder and make my coffee

Unknown PoV
"Did you tell her what was going to happen tomorrow" i say "no I can't Grayson will kill us all." She says.
"Poor Paige she's going to be so broken" I sigh "I can't do this anymore." I continue. "You can't leave or tell Paige , you know Grayson will kill you if you do." She whisper shouts at me. "I know , but Paige almost killed herself." I shout at her.

"Well it will all be over tomorrow." I sigh a tear slid down my cheek.
