I leave my footprints for the evidence

I rolled over in my bed and came face to face with Jack. I smiled and thought how cute he looked with his mouth open and hair all messed up. Then I shook my head getting rid of those thoughts and sat up. I felt my head and could tell I had an awesome looking bed head. Rolling my eyes I shuffled out of my warm bed and to the bathroom. Just as I thought one of the worst cases of bed head that like I'd ever seen.

I pulled out a towel from under the sink and started my water. First I brushed my teeth then slipped in under the water. I smiled at the initial contact of the water cause it was quite hot and I loved that. I started washing my hair and body, then I went on to shave and so forth. Eventually I got out wrapping the towel around my body. I wrapped the towel around my head and exited the bathroom. "Oh hello, good morning to you too then." Jack said. I whipped the towel off my head and moved it to my cover my body.

"Oh shit. I forgot you were in here." I said walking into my closet. "Well, it's not like I haven't seen it before." He said getting up. I could hear his voice travel. "Yep." Was all I could reply back with. With the towel securely wrapped around my waist I picked out clothes from the drawers in my closet. Once I found something /i turned around and ran into someone. They grabbed my shoulders to keep me from falling. "Do you mind if I take a shower?" Jack asked.

"N-no, go ahead." My skin was on fire from the contact and it almost made me angry that he still had that effect on me. He let go and walked away off towards the bathroom. I blew out some air and continued to my room, placing my clothes on the bed. I looked around before pulling off my towel and putting on my new undergarments. I slipped on some denim jeans and a light weight blue shirt.

I put on jewelry and changed out my old piercings. I sat on the edge of my bed and slipped on some superman socks to match my necklace. I finished and stood up walking over to my dresser. I ran a brush through my hair and did some simple make-up. Finishing up what I was doing I headed down stairs but first knocking on Alana's door. "Hey, woman. Get up, we got stuff to do today." I said through the door.

"Shut up! It's too early!" I laughed and crossed my arms in front of my chest. "Al. It's 2 in the after noon." I said. The door opened and there Alana stood with her hair almost as messed up as mine was with sleep lines across her face. "Wow...you look perdy." I said batting my eye lashes trying to contain my laughter. "Shut it. Anyways, where are we going again?"

"Well, we both need 3 more dresses for the opening and then at the end of all this we got invited to a big party that my Great Aunt Kathy is hosting so we will need floor length gowns for that and new shoes and what not." I added with a smile. "I guess, give me a few minutes. You better make coffee." She said wagging her finger at me.

"Alright, alright." Making my way down stairs I passed the doc with my ipod on it. I clicked shuffle and moved into the kitchen. I clicked on the coffee pot and went into the fridge pulling out cream and sugar. I pulled out the bread drawer in my kitchen and pulled out all the bagels I owned, also getting out the creme cheese. "Do you have any Bailey's?" Mike asked walking into the kitchen, taking a seat at the breakfast bar.

I laughed pulling out just what he wanted. "Bagel?" I questioned popping one in the toaster. "Yeah, I guess." When the bagel popped up I handed him it on a plate and passed him the creme cheese. "Was anyone else up?" "Yeah, Tony will be down in a few." He took a bite of his bagel. "So, what's up with Jack? What's he doing here?" He asked mouth full of Bagel. "Alana and Alex invited him down here, I had nothing do with it. But at any rate I'm a good hostess and Alana and Alex... sort of have a thing going on so."

I plopped in another bagel hearing foot steps coming down the metal spiral stair case. "Bagel Tony?" I asked as he came around the corner. "Sure." He sat down next to Mike while I pulled out two mugs and poured coffee in both passing the half and half and sugar their way. I poured two more cups and walked up stairs. I knew the way both of them liked it. I knocked on the door and opened it slightly. "Alana I brought y'all coffee please have clothes on."

I made it around the bend of the door and held out the cups. Alex came over just in his boxers and took the cup in my right hand. "That's Al's." I said as he took a sip. He choked on it. "Oh shit, what's in here?" He asked as Alana came around the corner taking it from his hand. "It's black." She said taking a sip. "Like your soul." I said getting a laugh from Alex as he took the other from my left hand.

"Who do you think I leaned it from." Alana said. "Your cruisin' for a bruisin'." I said squinting my eyes. "Alright now that both of us are dressed are you ready?" She asked. "Well let's wait from Jaime and Vic to wake up and then Jack to get out of the shower and we can go." I said turning to leave. "Hey, what's with you and Vic?" Alana asked before I got out of the room. I didn't move. "Paige." She warned me.

I turned around with tears in my eyes. "Why did you bring him down here? W-why would you torture me like this?" I asked pushing tears off my face with my hands. "Paige, I had no intentions of bringing him here to cause you grief but he misses you as much as I know you miss him." Alex said. I turned and shut the door then turned back around. "Alex, you know nothing of what feelings I have for him. You don't even know what happened." I said pointing my finger at him.

"Paige, I don't even know-" "And what could he have done to make you hate him so much?!" All three of us were irritated at this point just angry. "I-I don't w-wanna talk about-t it." I let the tears roll freely now. I turned to leave and Alana pushed herself up against the door. "No, we need to talk about this." She said. I huffed and tried to walk towards her bathroom where Alex blocked my entry. "Alexander, move." I ordered. "No, tell us." He said. I moved over and slid down the side of the bed, sitting on the floor next to it.

I put my head in my hands, calming myself down. Someone sat to the right of me and pulled me into their arms. "When I left I had no idea." She pulled me tighter into her. "That?" She asked. "That...that I was pregnant." I said pulling away enough to look at Alana in the face. "I tried to call him but every time I did he just gave me more and more exciting news about y'all and the label and I couldn't bare myself to say it."

Alex sat down in front of me and took my hands in his. "He had no idea-" My head whipped up to look at his face. "I know he never knew! I heard you guys were gonna be home for a week or two, I don't remember, and I went to surprise you and when I showed up at your new apartment and I mean technically we had broken it off but I was 7 months pregnant and I figured he would want to know but he was in bed with someone else.

And that's when I realized he was not going to be the best father at his age and well... I left and when I stopped calling him and stopped answering and and I didn't know what else to do so I stayed in San Diego and Vic and the guys helped me through." I stopped and bit my lip letting tears rise and fall again. I leaned my head down no longer wanting to continue my story. "Paige, what happened to the baby?" Alex asked getting my attention by lifting my face to see his by my chin.

"I-I had the baby. It was a boy." I said with a smile, still crying. "I named him Parker William Bassam and he was beautiful." I stopped and fell into Alana again. She held me and stroked my hair. "What happened?" Alana asked. "One night I laid him down and I went to my room and feel asleep. I woke up the next morning confused cause I had slept all night and I ran into his room to check on him and he had passed away in his sleep.

I called an ambulance and they told me he was one of another case of SIDS, Sleeping Infant Death Syndrome. He was only a month and a half, I only h-had him a m-month and a h-half." I said with a stutter, trying to catch my breath which was becoming quite difficult at this point. "I need you to calm down, I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere, Paige." I clutched onto Alana's hand and calmed myself down.

"He was p-perfect, simply perfect. Dark brown hair and the most perfect nose." I pulled my hands from Alex's and Alana's and used them to push myself up off the ground. "Guys, please don't tell anyone and I'll be fine. You and Jack can stay I just, I just need to get out of here." I said running to the door. I threw it open and ran into Vic in the hallway. I ran my arms around his waist pushing my head to his chest. "Hey, good morning." He said pulling my face up to his.

The smile melted once he saw my face. "What's wrong, baby?" He asked. I didn't know what else to do so I just gripped onto him harder. "I-I'm f-fine, I just n-needed a hug." I said as he took hold of me, wrapping his arms around my shaking body. "You don't seem fine." I let go and pull away wiping my eyes and putting a smile on my face. "I am, promise." I said and ran to my room. I shut the door behind me and leaned back against it once closed.

My eyes shut I kept them closed until I heard the bathroom door open. I quickly opened them only to have Jack standing before me. He placed his right hand against my left cheek. "Are you alright?" He asked making me look him in the eyes. I huffed and moved away from him. "Nothings wrong, and why would you care?" I asked going to my dresser seeing my mascara run face. I removed my make up and started to apply more. "I care about you and don't even try to pretend I don't, cause you know I do."

"Sure, anything you want to hear Jack." I said looking at him in my mirror. His hair was tucked under a beanie and made his smile look warmer, not that there was a smile on his face now. I quickly finished and walked away from my dresser. "Don't ignore me, I know you know it's true I always-" He stopped himself when I reached the door to my bed room. I snapped around. "What Jack, What was that?" I asked getting close to him again, pressing our chests against one anothers. Electricity shoots across my skin.

"I...care about you." He started running his left hand through the loose curls my hair fell into. "I still, care about you." I stared at his face realizing he will always have my heart, all of my heart but he will never know that. Then a knock came to the door and we backed away from each other. "Hey, we were gonna get ready to head out to the mall, you coming?" Alana asked. "Yep, coming." "You too, Jack?" Alana asked as I walked tot he door. "Yep, be right there." He said with a smile as I followed Alana down the stairs.
