~ Vic's POV ~

I didn't know that Paige was getting depressed again, sure she didn't talk to me much for two weeks, but I thought she was getting a break, I mean, she barely remembered me and I was telling her that I loved her, I knew she'd need a break at some point. I needed to visit her again, it had been two days since I held her when I found out about her depression, I needed to check on her allot more. Winter break was coming up in about a week, but my mom was able to get me the week after it off too because she knows I hate going back the same day as everyone else because my anxiety kicks into overdrive, that and every December and January is the worst for me, the past two times I had attempted suicide was either in December or January. My family hates those months. As for my anxiety, it's not something you'd want to see. I would be getting a three week break as where everyone else only had two weeks, starting three days before Christmas.

I got out of bed and decided to make an omelet for myself, it was filled with cheese, bacon, ham, and sausage. My favorite type of omelet. I ate it then ran upstairs to take a shower. After my shower, I got dressed in black skinny jeans, a plain white tee shirt, and a red beanie. I slipped on my black Vans and rushed down the stairs to see my mom making something in the kitchen and Mike sitting on the couch, scrolling through his phone.

"Bye guys, I'm going to go visit Paige and make sure she's doing okay, see you guys later!" I said as I grabbed my car keys and exited the house before anyone could reply.

And got into the car and started it when I heard the passenger side door open, I looked over and saw Mike standing there, I hadn't looked at what he was wearing before, but he had skinny jeans and a black tee shirt. "I'm coming with you because I miss Sally," He said as he closed the door after he was in.

"Okay, but I think Tony and Jordan are spending a week together, so it's just going to be us and Sally and Paige there, and I want to be alone with Paige, so if you guys want to have sex, Paige and I will leave, just make sure you use protection." I ranted on causing Mike to chuckle a bit.

"Take your girl on a date, it's warm enough to take her to the beach and sit on the sand, maybe she'll remember last time you took her to the beach. And don't worry, I will use protection, I don't want to be a dad." I laughed at Mike's last remark.

"Okay, I will, and thank God, you're too young." He laughed at me.

"Let's just go already." I nodded and pulled out of the driveway.

~Around an hour later because I'm too lazy to write the details of what happened in that time~

When we arrived at Sally, Jordan, and Paige's place, Mike jumped out of the car and ran toward their apartment, leaving me to park the car. I found a parking space pretty close to their apartment and I got out, shut my door, locked the car, and headed toward their apartment. I knocked on the door and heard something fall then Paige opened the door.

"Oh, um come on in . . ." She trailed off.

"What fell?" I asked as I entered the small apartment.

"Oh, I tripped when I came to answer the door, I didn't want to but, Mike and Sally are busy." She pointed toward the couch and I saw Sally on Mike's lap, making out with him.
