Differences

Chapter 21

Paige POV
Chris and I must have fell asleep because I woke up in his room.

"Hey sleeping beauty." Chis said laughing

"What time is it?" I asked sitting up.

"6:35 pm" he said looking at his phone. "Can I get to know you better now?"

"Sure, whats your favorite color? Mine is blue." I said to him"

"Green" he said

"Like your eyes." I said staring into them.

He looked at me for a quick second, then turned away.

"Whats wrong?" I asked

"I can't do this, you are still with Jack." He said

I almost forgot about him. Chris made me feel special and I felt like we've been together for years. But I'm here because of Jack. And I should love him because of that, but I don't. I love Chris.

"I guess I have to break up with him." I said looking at the floor.

"I can't let you do that." He said tearing up. "It will break his heart"

"My heart will be broken without you." I said crying

"I'm sorry" he said shaking his head.

I ran out the room drenched in tears. As I was running down the hallway someone stopped me.

"Paige, whats wrong?" The familiar voice asked.

I cried into their chest without looking up.

"Shh its okay." he said

I looked up and saw Shawn standing there.

"Come with me." He said bringing me into a closet. "Jack told me what happened. Is that why you are crying?"

I half nodded and half shook my head.

"I'm in love with Chris and he isn't in love with me." I said through my sniffles.

Shawn stood there in shock. He picked me up by my waist and swung me around his shoulder.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked wiping my tears.
He still wouldn't answer. "Shawn!" I screamed.

He put me down in front of a door, opened it and pushed me in.

"Paige." A voice across the room said.

"Taylor?" I asked confused. "What am I doing in here?"

"I want to talk to you about the other night at Bart's house." He said coming closer to me.

I stepped back. "Well I don't want to talk to you."
I tried opening the door, but Taylor pushed it from behind me.

"Taylor leave me alone." I said yelling at him.

"Paige just let me explain." He said taking his hand off the door.

I walked over to the bed and sat down. Taylor followed and sat on the other bed.

"I apologize for hurting Jack." He said quietly.

"Yeah, right." I said rolling my eyes.

"I'm not done." his voice cracked.
"I'm the one who kissed you when the lights went off."

What? I thought Jack kissed me. Well it smelled like Jack.

I shook my head in shock.

"Paige, I'm sorry for everything." He said what sounded like honesty.

I got up and sat next to him.

"Its okay." I said hugging him.

I missed his hugs.

I felt a sense of relief coming from him.

"Wow." He said letting go.

"What do you mean by wow?" I said laughing

"Thats what I thought when I saw you for the first time." He said blushing.

I giggled.

"Please talk to Jack now" he said putting his hand on my thigh.

"No I can't. He hates me because I don't hang out with him a lot." I said shaking my head.

"Well you are with Chris a lot." He said.

"Oh so you agree with him?" I said standing up.

"Jack really loves you. All he wants is for you to talk to him." He said pulling me back down.

Maybe I do hang out with Chris a lot. But now since I kind of freaked on Chris, Jack won't have to worry about me hanging out with him.

I hugged Taylor and walked out of the room. I took the elevator up to my floor. I walked in and Matt was sitting there. I just ignored him and got my pajamas.

I went to the bathroom and quickly got changed. I came back out and laid in my bed.

"Its only 7:45." Matt sad taking his headphones out.

"I realized." I said

Within 5 minutes I fell asleep.

~Next morning~

I woke up and checked my phone.
8 am.
"Shit" I yelled.
My flight for Denver leaves in 2 hours.

I quickly got changed, gathered all my stuff, and tried waking up Matt and Carter

"Guys wake up" I said shaking them both. "Our flight leaves in 2 hours."

They both jumped out of bed and did the same routine as me.

We all ran out of the room and down to the lobby.

"Finally, you guys are here." Nash said.

"Come on, the limo is outside." Cam said as we all piled into the limo.

I was sitting next to Chris and Aaron, and Jack was across from me. Pretty awkward situation.

After about 20 minutes, we got to the airport and waited for our flight.

Jack J was already freaking out like last time.

"Dude settle down, its only a 2 and a half hour flight." Matt said trying to calm him down. I laughed at him while he was squirming around.

Loudspeaker: Flight to Denver leaves in 20 minutes. Please head to the entrance now.

We all stood up and headed towards the plane.
