A New Paige

You're The Lucky One

January 31: Paige

I sit by the campfire with my friends. Dean and Seth were in Albuquerque. Roman was in Canada. And I'm here relaxing.
"Saraya, your phone." I step away and answer.
"Hello?"
"Where are you?"
"What do you want Dean?"
"Where are you?"
"I'm with people who'll treat me right."
"I treat you right!"
"You sure proved it a few weeks ago."
"I'm sorry baby. Please."
"Not this time." I hang up and shut my phone off. I sit back down by the fire and smile as I enjoy the rest of my night.

"C'mon Paige, open up." I cry into my pillow as I ignore Emma and Rosa at the door. "Paige, if you do not open this door, I'm gonna break it down."
"Go away." I groan and lay face down. I hear a crack and the dips in beside me. "Paige, please get up." I sit up quickly and wrap my arms around Brie.
"Brieezy." I mumble and she hugs me back.
"We have to go, c'mon Paige."
"Why does everyone hate me?" Brie pulls away and gives me a confused look.
"What? No one hates you Paige."
"Seth walked out. Dean wants nothing to do with me and Roman, I don't even know."
"I actually just got a text from Dean, he's worried because you won't answer any of his calls. Seth is worried too, he called me earlier and pleaded for me to come down here. Roman, he's been texting me nonstop asking about you. They care about you Paige. I care about you, you're my best friend." I blink away the tears and wrap my arms around Brie. She hugs me back.

February 1: Dean Ambrose

"Hey Brie, how's Paige?"
"She's at home, resting." We stay silent for a while. "I think you need to give her space, Jon. She's been crying a lot lately due to the miscarriage and now what she's dealing with with Seth. And now you."
"Seth?"
"Yes, he's walked out on her again." The door swings open and Seth throws his bags across the room. "Who's that?"
"Seth, I'll call you back."
"Alright, bye Jon."
"Bye Brie." I hang up just as Seth punches the wall. He turns his back to the wall and slides down, burying his face in his hands.
"I'm an idiot." He mumbles.
"Yeah, you are." He glares at me.
"You should be talking." He growls out.
"You're right, I am an idiot. But I didn't walk out on Paige more than once."
"No, but she had a point. Where were you when she was dealing with losing the baby? Where were you when she was heartbroken and crying? You were at the bar with Renee."
"Alright, I fucked up."
"Yeah, you did."
"How about you just shut up, alright? You left her when she needed you too. Where were you when she lost the baby, huh? Instead of just--"
"You're the lucky one, Dean! You asked her to marry you and she said yes! She said yes! I've been in love with her for a very long time and I've been with other girls to get her out of my mind! You and Roman are so damn lucky, you get to stand so close to her in that ring and backstage. She leans into you and Roman because she's comfortable with you, something she's never done with me. Never!" I watch as he stands up, only to sit on the edge of his bed. "She doesn't love me, Dean. You're the lucky one because she loves you."

I take a deep breath in and ring the doorbell. The door swings open and I'm knocked off my feet, literally, by a fist.
"How dare you!" I hold my jaw and look up at Paige. Her hair was neatly placed in a ponytail and she had on some jeans and a crop top. "You decide that you can just come here without a single notice!"
"Paige," I get to my feet and look at her as she glares up at me, "I'm sorry. I'm an asshole."
"Yeah, you are."
"Can we fix us?" She begins shaking and she collapses to her knees, tears spill down her face. I kneel beside her and pull her towards me. She leans into me as I place my chin on the top of her head.

"You're the lucky one because she loves you."

Seth's words play through my head as I held the angel in my arms. I pick her up and carry her inside. I place her on the couch, placing a blanket over her seeing as she fell asleep.
"I love you, Paige." I whisper, kissing her hand and walking out.
