I woke up. Zack stayed all weekend. We had no responsibilities just each other. We watched movies, ordered food, and even saturday we had the guys over to hang out. It was Sunday morning. I just rolled over. I looked at the sleeping boy next to me. I smiled.I stood up. I went into my bathroom. I was even starting to look better. My head looked a lot better. The bruises on my stomach were beginning to fade. I smiled and skipped out of the bathroom.

I headed down stairs seeing the piles of bodies on the floor. I giggled a little. I started breakfast. Eggs, bacon, toast and pancakes. I turned on some dropkick murpheys. "I'm shipping off to find my wooden leg. I'm a sailor peg and I lost my leg. I climbed up the topsails, I lost my leg. I'm shipping up to boston." I sang while flipping some pancakes. They were the last thing to finish. No one was up yet, or so I thought.

I felt two arms snake their way around my waist. "Good morning." I said unsure of who was hugging me. "Morning." It was Jack. "Want some breakfast?" I asked. "Duh..." He said. I handed him the spatula. "Hold this. Don't let them burn." I stepped away from him and walked into the living room. I shook Rian. "Rian. Breakfast." He sat up and made his way to the living room. I laughed at how easy that was and walked over to Alex who was a sleep on the couch.

"Alex?" I said. He rolled over. "Alex." I said a little louder. "Alexander." I said breaking out the full name. He grabbed my arm and pulled me into the couch. He snuggled up to my chest and got comfy. "Well Then." I looked up to see Zack. "Good morning, I was just about to wake you up." "Well I'm up." He said and walked into the kitchen. "Come on. I made breakfast." "I don't want breakfast, I want your comfy body." "Well you can't have it." Zack said and pulled me off the couch. I laughed until I hit the floor hitting that spot on my head.

"Fuck!" I yelled. I laid on the floor. Alex sat up. "Are you alright?" Alex asked. "Yeah I'll be ok." I said and sat up. I held out my hand and Zack pulled me up. I was a little dizzy he had to hold me up. "You sure your ok?" Zack asked." Yeah fine." I said back. I walked into the kitchen and took the plates out to the table. We all sat down. Everyone was stuffing their faces. "Aren't you gonna eat something?" Rian asked. "No...Not really in the mood for food." "Come to mention it I didn't see you eat anything yesterday either?" Jack said. "So?" I said back. "It's not healthy." Alex said.

I sat back in my seat, looking at the wall. "When's the last time you ate something?" Zack asked. "I don't know! I don't remember!" I said back looking straight at all of them. "Well that's not ok, Paige. Your gonna get sick-" "So what your gonna keep track of me like a child?! Next thing you know you'll start checking my stomach and wrists when I walk into a room!" I said. The I quickly realized the only people who knew about the cutting problem I had and still have is Jack and Alex, and by the look on their faces had totally forgotten about it. "You cut?!" Zack asked.

I stood up from the table. "Paige!" Zack yelled. I kept walking towards my bedroom. Zack was at the bottom of the steps. "Paige...Look at me please!" "I turned around. "How long has all this been going on?" "Since I first started dating Beau." "What all did he do to you?" He sounded hurt. "You don't want to know that but I'll tell you what it led to." I took steps down towards him. "I'm Anorexic, I cut myself, I have a drinking problem, I do drugs, and he raped me. Oh and did I mention I'm fucking suicidal!?" I yelled. I threw my hands up in the air.

"How come I don't know any of this?" He asked just as angry as I am. "Cause I hid it from you. You get this look on your face, it's disappointment, anger, hope all in one look. You think you can fix me! I'm broken, no one can! My mother died because of me and my father wants nothing to do with me, My foster parents left me, I can't go to school with out getting beat up and made fun of. I'm just tired of being me..." I had hot, angry tears rolling down my face. I sat on the stairs and buried my face in my hands. Zack sat next to me.

I leaned into him. He wrapped his arms around me. "I don't know what to do Zack." "I have no idea Paige." I looked up at him. "But we'll figure it out together."I leaned back against him and he kissed the top of my head. We sat there for a few minutes. I stood up and wiped my face. I walked back over to the table. "Sorry bout that." "It's ok." Alex said. "I had no idea that guy did all that to you." Jack said. "Yeah he was a real dick." I said back. I took the plates to the kitchen and started to do the dishes.

I finished and walked into the living room. "Well I'm gonna go get dressed...not sure what I want to do but I wanna do something." I said. "Sounds good." Zack replied following me upstairs. The other guys went and changed. Zack's bag was upstairs. We walked into my room and I opened my drawers looking through what I owned for an outfit. I slipped off my shirt grabbing my strapless bra and putting that on. I slipped off the shorts I was wearing along with my underwear. I slipped on some new underwear.

I pulled out some shorts and put those on followed by a strapless shirt. I put on my socks and my shoes. I finally finished with a necklace. The one Zack got me for my 17 birthday. I walked into my bathroom and brushed my teeth. I came back out. "Have you decided what you want to do today?" Zack asked. "Nope." I said and pulled him down stairs with me. "Well you look nice." Rian said. I twirled. "Thanks. I try." I suddenly got an idea.

"Hey... you know what would be fun?" "What?" Jack asked. "If I got another tattoo." I said. "This sounds interesting." Alex said. I looked over at him. "What are you thinking I should get?" I asked. "Like a huge tramp stamp with my initials in it, saying some thing like Fuck me or best I ever had." I burst out laughed and so did the rest of us. "I was thinking more like lyrics." I grabbed my keys off the counter.

"Come on." I said and left the house. They followed behind me. I got in the drivers seat of my car with Zack in the front and the three boys behind me. We started to drive down the road a little ways. I picked out a shop and pulled out in front. "are you sure you wanna do this?" Zack asked. "I already have one remember. It will be a piece if cake." I said and got out of my car.

I opened the door to the place and walked inside. "Hello. How may I help you?" This guy with crazy hair and a lot of tattoos asked me. "I want to get another tattoo." "Alright come this way. Have you decided what you wanted?" "No not really but I know I want lyrics." "Alright. Well I'll give you a few to decided and then I'll come back." "Alright, thanks." I said and he walked away.

"So what should I get?" I asked the guys. Alex went to speak. "If it has anything to do with your initials you might as well close your mouth." "He closed his mouth and the others laughed. "I got it." I said thinking about it. I knew exactly what I wanted. "What is it?" "Lyrics." "Yeah but which ones?" Zack asked again. "We can live like Jack and Sally if we want." "God that's only like the coolest movie and the coolest band!" Jack yelled. "How come you get Jack's name but not mine?!" Alex asked jutting out his bottom lip and crossing his arms.

"Come on you know it isn't like that." I said. He uncrossed his arms. Zack had this big smile on his face. I used to call him Jack and he would call me Sally. I wasn't looking at him directly cause I knew he would know what's going on in my brain if I did. The guy walked back up "You know what you want?" "Yeah. I would like the lyrics We can live like Jack and Sally if we want. And I would like it to have them on the hill with the moon behind them."

"That sounds great." I nodded. "Where do you want it?" He asked. I rolled up my shirt. The bruises that covered my stomach weren't as bad as the cuts that littered across. The guy were just staring at my stomach. Some of the cuts just starting to heal.

"Across my rib cage on my right side." I then realized my shirt wouldn't go up far enough. "I'm gonna have to take off my shirt, aren't I?" I asked. He nodded. I did as I needed and took off my shirt. I looked around at the guys just staring at me. "Alright soak it in. It may or may not happen again." I said. The guy laughed. He got my body ready and told me to lay down. I did as was asked and he began. When it got to my ribs, that part hurt.

3 hours later I walked out of the tattoo place a happy person. I got my tattoo and it ment something and I was happy. I got in my car. It hurt to move my stomach but it was a good pain. "When is the last time you cut?" Zack asked. The whole car silent. I didn't want to start another argument. "The night we argued in the woods." I said starting my car. I pulled out of the parking spot and made the way back to my house.

We pulled up. "Alright I gotta get this kid back and I have to get back home." Rian said while pointing to Alex. "Alright." I said. "I should probably head out too." Jack said. I nodded. We all hugged and they got in their cars, after grabbing their stuff, and left. Zack and I were in the living room watching The Princess Bride. It's my favorite movie. I was leaned up against his chest, and he had his arms wrapped around me.

"Paige?" I turned to look at him. "Did you get that tattoo to symbolize us...or just to get the lyrics?" He asked his cheeks burning red. I sat up. "I got them for us , yes." He sat up a little, so that we were facing on the couch. "Ok cause..." He stopped himself. I knew the conversation we were about to have and I was ready for it. "Go on." I said and took his hand. "Paige... I've always liked you, I mean your my best friend but I have feelings for you, really feelings and these past few days and even weeks have been really hard. You don't even know the amount of times I've wanted to do this-"

He pulled my face into his with force. It was the best kiss I've ever gotten. My stomach started to get hot and my hands were shaking. I took my hands and wrapped them around his neck. His tongue traced my bottom lip and I opened my mouth and his tongue made it's way into my mouth. I pulled away giving us both time to breathe. "Paige." I looked into his eyes. "I love you, not like as my best friend, I mean that too, but like Love you. As in I don't want anyone else." He said I just smiled. "I love you, too."

Our lips met again and we sat on my couch just making out. This was one of the best days of my life. I got things off my chest and finally told my best friend I loved him. I wish we could be like Jack and Sally but that's just a song, a lyric, a movie and this is real life and I'm not Sally.
