Fatal Redemption | J.J.K.

JUNGKOOK;
We swam the whole day and now I'm at Paige and Lucas' house. He told me to might as well stay the night since I haven't slept over in a long time.

This time their parents were home but I didn't mind, I liked their folks.

"Boys eat!" I heard Paige from downstairs.

I smiled at the thought of Paige and I in the future. We'll have our own family and our own everything.

Lucas and I made our way downstairs and into the dining room. Paige was dishing out Cole and Eric while Mrs. Ryder was giving Mr. Ryder his full plate.

"Ah, Jungkook" he smiled, "Long time no see"

I smiled as well, it was nice having a friends father treat you like one of his sons.

"Hello Mr- Sterling" I smiled as he nodded.

"Aye Jungkook!" Eric exclaimed with his mouth full of steak. He reached over and held out his fist which I bumped with my own.

I took the empty seat beside Paige while she handed me a plate. Steak, mashed potatoes and asparagus, my favorite.

Throughout dinner we all talked. It was nice, and not a bit awkward. That was until Mr. and Mrs. Ryder told me all about the twins when they were babies.

Paige's face was red throughout the whole conversation, it was cute, while Lucas didn't give a crap.

It was starting to get late and dinner ended. I helped clean up while their parents did the dishes and Paige took a sleeping Cole to bed.

I went to the restroom before bed and walked back to Lucas' room. When I got to the door, I saw Paige walking into her room.

She noticed me so she turned around. She smiled and nodded before closing her room door.

I smiled, I hope seeing her last would help me sleep better.

When I laid down on the air mattress bed, Lucas was already sleeping. I chuckled, he overworks himself a lot.

My eyes opened, I looked at the time to see that it was barely 12. I sighed and turned on my side then sat up.

I could hear Paige tossing and turning in bed, she seemed restless. I quickly sat up when I heard her whimpering in pain.

I quietly got out of bed and walked out of Lucas' room. The hallway was quiet and empty, I looked at Paige's door and walked towards it.

She was whimpering more, my heart broke at the sound of it. I softly turned the door knob and opened the door.

I walked in and closed it behind me as I made my way to her bed. I imagined she was having a bad dream but I saw her eyes open.

"Paige" I whispered and walked closer, "Are you okay?"

She grunted, "It was just a leg ache"

I blew out a breath of relief. I didn't know how I would handle it if she was more hurt.

"Oh ok" I said, "Well I'll go back to bed then"

I hope she wouldn't let me leave. I wanted to stay with her.

I turned and was stopped. Paige's hand gripped onto mine, "Wait"

I looked at Paige, she looked beyond tired, "Can you stay with me for a bit. I can't sleep"

I yawned and nodded. She smiled and scooted over as I got under the covers with her. Once I was comfy she snuggled up closer to me and laid her head on my chest.
