Paige sauntered into the lounge to find Bella, Alex and Zack sitting on the sofa. Paige still hadn't spoken to Zack yet, and she knew that he was getting impatient but after their escapade earlier on that morning, he seemed to have forgotten just how worried he was. For how long though was the next question. Bella sat reading a novel whilst Alex laid across her, his head in her lap, playing on his phone. Zack sat in the armchair, chewing his lip as he watched mind-numbing daytime television. He was thinking and worrying, she could tell. He never chewed his lip for any other reason. Paige tried to avoid his eye contact, but he caught her. She mouthed 'I love you' towards him and he reciprocated, turning his head back to the television with a slight smile on his face.

Paige crept up behind Bella and tapped her on the shoulder gently, laughing as she jumped and screamed, which then lead to Alex dropping his phone on his face and his forehead meeting the sharp corner of Bella's book. Paige burst into fits of laughter as Bella sat, trying not to laugh. Alex rubbed his head and picked up his phone, sitting up and pulling a face. Bella leaned towards him, going to plant a kiss on his cheek but before she could do so, he turned his head and kissed her on the lips. Paige turned her back as she made gagging noises, Alex biting Bella's lip and winking.

Feeling less than impressed, Bella rose from her seat and watched as Alex smirked. She walked round to where Paige was standing.

"What do you want? Why did you creep up on me?" She asked, poking Paige in the arm.

"I need.. I need.. to ask.. you a.. a.. f-f-favour.." Paige gasped for air between laughs.

"And what would that be?"

Reality of the current situation hit and Paige's face dropped slightly, but there was a certain glow about her. She suddenly seemed very happy and it was very strange, so Bella thought. "I just need you to come with me somewhere." Paige bit her lip anxiously as Bella grabbed her hand and pulled her over to the kitchen. Bella gave her a look, which told her to start explaining.

"What do you think is up with Paige, Alex?" Zack asked Alex, confusion and worry dancing around his face.

"Look dude, if I knew anything, I would tell you and you know that. I don't know anything. Paige will tell you what's wrong when she's ready to. I know it's difficult knowing that something's up with her and she isn't telling you, but you can't force her to. I'm sure it's just one of those girl things." Alex soothed, still nursing his forehead. "Just please stop worrying. It's our day off." Alex stated. "Why don't we all do something, go somewhere?" Alex exclaimed loud enough for Paige and Bella to hear.

"Sorry, we need to go out somewhere. Why don't you two meet up with the boys?" Bella shouted to Alex and Zack, who in return both looked at each other, and after shrugging their shoulders, nodded and headed for the girls.

"Alright then, we'll see you later. What are you doing that's so important?" Zack aimed the question at Paige, who just smiled sweetly and stuck her tongue out.

"We're going to go and have hot lesbian sex, and then join a swinger's club." Bella said bluntly, with a look of all seriousness on her face.

Alex stood there, mouth agape, not knowing how to respond.

"I don't get why you need to though, I'm damn sure there was another." Bella stated as she loaded Isobel into her baby seat, watching Paige curiously as she stepped into the car.

"Yeah, I know. But. I don't know. Just stock up, right? Just in case?" Paige answered nervously.

"Is there something you're not telling me?" Bella asked with a look of warning as she sat down in the driver's seat, starting the engine and driving off.

"Nope. Honestly."

"If you're lying to me, Paige!" Bella laughed.

The two girls drove off into town.

Bella pulled back into the driveway, a curious look on her face as she watched Paige bound into the house with her bag. Paige walked over to the freezer and placed a few more tubs of ice cream strategically, so that they all fit.

"Seriously, why did you need to buy more ice cream?" Bella asked, confused.

"To stock up, I told you! Just in case I get sad again!" Paige squealed.

"Right, and why did you buy so many different creams?"

"Because I keep getting spots.. d'uh.. I'm gonna go put them in the bathroom cabinet, alright? I'll be back in a minute." Paige bounded off to the downstairs bathroom. Upon entering, she shut the door and locked it, emptying her bag of all the different creams she had bought. Spot cream, scar cream, cut and graze cream, you name it and Paige had bought it. She picked up each individual item, leaving the best until last and dropping it back into her bag.
