Paige's POV

The children were at school and I was frantically pacing my room trying to give myself moral support from anywhere for what I was about to do,I don't even know why this was what came to mind,but I really want to help Sofya ,at this point I needed someone to tell me I was doing the right things but Grace travelled with her husband for a family vacation and I don't want to disturb her with calls about my problems but I am really panicking here.

I stood in front of the mirror for the umpteenth time this morning trying to come up with the right outfit,I needed to look professional, I don't want people looking at me like I am under them that would reduce my confidence, I finally settled for a black pencil skirt and a flowered blouse and flat shoes,I couldn't bring myself to eat anything so I forfeited breakfast.

"Do you have an appointment?"

I asked shocked,I couldn't believe my eyes,I was staring at my best friend since childhood after six whole years,"Paige"she cried out engulfing me in a tight hug,"I am so sorry I didn't know,I would have known something was wrong,I didn't pay so much attention like I was supposed to"she cried on my shoulders,am I not the one supposed to apologize?"What are you apologizing for?" I asked confused,"Jace told me everything,why didn't you come to me,you shouldn't have left that way" she cried on,"I should be the one apologizing,I didn't really think how my disappearance will affect anybody, I was just so scared" I muttered as tears fell from my eyes, I missed her so much,"I don't blame you for anything"she answered still not letting go,"I would have taken a better decision,I just panicked" I said sadly,"I am really glad you are okay,where is my godchild please"she said looking around like she was actually expecting to see him,"In school" I answered sniffing,"

    Paige's POVThe commotion downstairs was enough to remind me that things have really changed in the past week, but my excitement of the day is the fact that Grace is finally back in town, and she will be here anytime soon,"Good morning Mum" Alex greeted as I got to the end of the stairs where he ran to me,"How are you, my boy?" I asked, ruffling his hair,"Very fine, Olivia still doesn't want to play with me" he whined,"She will come around, she is not the talking type, try harder, okay" I encouraged,"If you say so mum" he shrugged"Where is Aunt Lisa?"

I have not seen her for 3 years now, so why has become such an issue,"Why have you been moodier than usual these past few days?" Brandon asked as we walked into my office,"It's nothing" I mumbled, increasing my pace to avoid his questions,"Tell that to someone just met you and who doesn't know you" he replied with a chuckle,"It's nothing serious just drop it" I insisted, I really don't want to talk,"So you won't talk to me, but you would talk to Paige" he teased, making me roll my eyes,"Don't let me remind me of instances where you would rather talk to Lisa than talk to me" I teased back with a small smile, and he smiled back with no argument, he knew what he just did and it worked,"I just can't shake this feeling off" I finally succumbed,"Which feeling if I may ask" he asked,"The feeling that something is wrong, Jay has al

I asked, looking around,"Balcony" he replied pointing towards its direction like I was a visitor here,"I know where it is located, " I muttered,"Just to be certain, you know" he replied with a shrug, I simply ignored the comment and headed to

I held myself from walking up to her to comfort her, I need answers first,"Jay" I turned to face him when I realized Mum wasn't going to say anything in the state she was in,He glanced at her for an approval, in which she hesitated a little before nodding her head a little, her silent cries turning into loud sobs,"Mum has lung cancer" he finally said, avoiding my eyes,"Lung cancer, how? I don't get it, for how long now?" I asked, realizing I was the only person present who didn't know about this before now, how come Dad knew, and I didn't?,"S

Come in" I hollered to whoever was on the other side of the door."Sir" Tina, Brandon's secretary greeted me, I knew was going to come sooner or later." Yes Tina" I answered not looking up from my laptop screen, I could feel her wanting to bombard me with questions." There are some documents that need Mr. Hanson's signature but I can't seem to reach him" She started." Send them to me, I will look at them" I replied calmly."But Sir, there are contracts that specifically need his signature" She countered."We both run this company, right ?" I shot."

    Paige's POV. "Don't ever Scare me like that again, ever I warned Lisa as I pulled her in for a hug." I am sorry, one minute I was good and the other minute I suddenly felt dizzy and everything went dark" She apologized." That was why I suggested you should rest a little but your Stubborn self didn't agree, for the next eight months I wouldn't be listening to your stubborn ass when it comes to your health" I declared, wiping the Stray teas that fell from my eyes." I would like to believe you are speaking based on how you are feeling at the moment" She murmured, folding her arms across her chest stubbornly."Let's see about that then" I replied, rolling my eyes."How are you feeling now, Lisa?" Jace asked, walking Into the ward Jay walking in right behind him." Much better, I guess I pushed myself too much," she answered, smiling softly."

    Paige's Pov. "Come on, I will be right beside you through out, you will be surprised if his perspective of you may have changed over the years, it has been 10 years, he must have had a change of heart somehow" I said softly drawing small circles on her palm as we stared at the hospital building, I could feel Lisa fidgeting beside me either because of her fear for hospitals or her fear of rejection or even both. "I guess so" She said with a light Shrug. "Remember just be calm and be yourself, Okay?" I said softly. "Okay" she nodded. "Here goes nothing" I cheered as we walked into the hospital hand in hand. The strong distinctive smell of antiseptics, disinfectants and drugs struck me hard making me pause in my tracks, my gaze moving to Lisa's. "You Okay?" I asked. "I have to get over it someday, I will be fine, I need a few minutes to adjust " She replied gripping my hand tighter. "I get it, take all the time you want, we could sit and wait if you want" I offered. "I am good

    Paige's POV. Three days later."We should go and see Brandon's dad on our way back" I suggested to Lisa as we prepared to leave. It took alot of convincing to get Lisa to agree to go out with me, She was hell bent on staying right beside Brandon till he wakes up. I had to promise her that we wouldn't be out for long in case he wakes up, and also had to make her understand that Brandon will not be happy if he hears that she put her life on hold to wait for him to wake up and that seemed to have done the work."You know he never approved of me since high school" Lisa replied with fear coating her voice."That doesn't mean you shouldn't visit him at the hospital, at least for Brandon's sake, he wouldn't be happy when he wakes up and finds out that his father was hospitalised and you didn't go to see him" I advised."Yeah, I guess so" Lisa replied with a light sigh."With enthusiasm, we should get moving if we aim to be home early," I cheerfully suggested, reaching

    Paige's POV"What are you doing here?" I asked Leon, trying to mask my shock."I came to see you, you have been ignoring all my calls and texts since the burial, I wanted to be sure everything is okay" He replied a bright smile on his face."I have not been ignoring your calls and texts and even if I was isn't that more reason why you wouldn't want to find me?" I questioned refraining from banging the door in his face so I could prepare myself more for this."I don't think that way, I have known you for over five years now, and even though we are not as close as I would loved us to be, but you never just go blank on me like this, on days when you can't text or call, you call when you can, to apologize, so my first thought was definitely something had gone wrong, you can't really blame me" he shrugged so casually me but I just kept screaming in my head.
