&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

It was late, at least midnight and I was sitting in the lounge area of the warehouse when I heard footsteps. I was instantly worried, I mean, I had no one to protect me or make me feel safe. I started hyperventilating until I saw Jaime walk into the room.

"Oh, hi Paige, I didn't know you were still here." Jaime said as he sat down next to me. "Why are you here?"

"Well, Vic and I got into a fight so I don't want to be under the same roof as him." I sighed out.

"What happened? You can trust me." Jaime said.

I was a bit hesitant but I decided to tell him. "He's been leading me on, making me think he likes me, but it turns out he's already got a girlfriend." I said as the tears formed in my eyes.

"Wait, you actually think he has a girlfriend? I was just joking Paige, I can't even remember the last time he had a girlfriend." Jaime said. "I'm sorry about causing you two to fight."

"So, he doesn't have a girlfriend?" I asked as I looked at Jaime.

"No, he doesn't. When we were all talking this morning, he was talking about asking you out Paige. He really cares about you, he won't shut up about how beautiful, smart, funny, and unique you are. I'm his best friend and he always comes to me, asking about how he should ask you out." Jaime sighed.

"But I'm not any of those things . . ." I trailed off.

"Don't you lie to me. You are beautiful, you are funny, you are smart. Vic has told that you don't think that, but he does. You are his world, okay? I'm sorry about making you think he has a girlfriend." Jaime said. I leaned toward him and hugged him.

"It's okay Jaime, but I still don't want to talk to him right now. He didn't try to make me go with him, he just left."

"do you want to go to my house for the night? It's really cold and I don't want you to get hurt." Jaime offered.

"No, I just want to stay here for a couple days. That reminds me, I need to text Mike and tell him that." I pulled out my phone to text Mike when I realized that I had five missed calls and seven texts from Vic.

I opened them and they read:

Vic: Why aren't you with us?

Vic: Paige? I know you're mad at me but please reply so that I know you're okay

Vic: I'm really worried about you. That warehouse is east to break into

Vic: Do you want to let me know that you're okay?

Vic: Paige, if you don't reply I'm going to go over there and find you

Vic: Are you okay? Please just answer me!

Vic: Okay, I'm on my way

"Vic's coming here," I said as I put my head in my hands.

"Why?" Jaime asked me.

"Because apparently I had texts and calls from him but I didn't pick up or reply so he's worried." I told him.

"Well, then maybe we'll be able to sort out the problem I caused." Jaime said, earning a nod from me.

"Yeah maybe . . ." I trailed off.

There was silence for the next few moments until we heard a car. I bit my lip, waiting for Vic to enter the room at any second.
