~ Sally's POV ~

Why did I yell at him? God, now he hates me, I'm sure of it. Why couldn't I have just handled it like a normal person and talked to him about it instead of yelling? I thought after Mike had left my apartment, I mean, he could choose to never speak to me again, and it would all be my fault.

I screamed as I grabbed a plate off the coffee table and threw it at the wall, causing it the shatter on impact. Mike didn't have the right to say what he did to Paige, it wasn't her fault that she used to get beat anytime her parents yelled at her. Of course she was going to get scared anytime someone yelled.

"Sally are you okay?" I heard Vic ask me, causing me to look over at the door leading to Paige's room.

"Y-yeah, just mad at Mike," I stumbled on my words a bit.

"Yeah, we heard you yelling at him and I don't think that helped Paige, can you come talk to her? Please?" I could see the worry on Vic's face, which made me worried.

"Yeah, I will." I said as I stepped toward Paige's room.

Whenever Vic was worried about Paige, I knew I had to be worried too, he worried a lot but it wasn't over nothing. When he got worried it was because of a feeling he had in his stomach, like he just knew that something bad was going to happen.

I walked into Paige's room and saw her on the bed, crying her eyes out while hitting her head on the bed. She looked like her entire family and all of her Friends had just been slaughtered in front of her and she was crying over that.

"Paige," I whispered soothingly as I sat on the foot of her bed. "What's wrong, you know you can tell me, right?"

She looked up at me and I could see depression in her eyes. "M-Mike yelled a-at V-Vic b-because of me a-and that c-caused you and M-Mike to fight. I-I'm so sorry," She said through sobs and tears.

"No, it's not your fault that Mike and I were fighting, it's his fault for yelling at you and my fault for not handling it correctly. Don't you ever blame yourself for what happens to me, ever, okay?" I saw Paige nod slightly then she sat up and hugged me. "Stay strong, fighter," I whispered.

"I will," She replied before Vic sat down next to her and she leaned into his body, causing him to wrap his arms around her.

"Well, I'm going to go out on a walk, I might go to your place, Vic, and talk things out with Mike, maybe not, I haven't decided yet. Bye you two," I said as I left the room.

Maybe I'll make things right.

I thought to myself.

~ Mike's POV ~

As soon as I got back home, my parents weren't there and I knew Vic would't be coming home because he was staying with Paige for a while, until she got better. I got up to my room then closed the door and fell onto my bed. I didn't like fighting with Sally, but I guess that happens when you're in a relationship and it's not just a one night stand. I didn't know what a relationship fight was like until I dated Sally, I mean, I had never dated anyone else before, I just had one night stands.

I should call her. No, wait, she said she didn't want to speak to me until I made things right with Paige. How can I do that when Vic probably won't let me near her, for obvious reasons? I thought to myself as I stared at the wall. I groaned in frustration, I mean, why did I let my temper get the best of me? Why didn't I handle it better? All these thoughts were running through my head and I just didn't know what to do.
