Paige's POV"Jace asked of you today when he came to drop Alex off,he has not seen you for almost a week now"Grace started as we made dinner,"Why does he need to see me exactly??" I questioned,"Don't be like that,you need to at least establish mutual understanding between the both of you"she admonished but I really didn't want this conversation not after what I discovered from my meeting with Grayson earlier this week,everything still feels so fresh in my head and I have not heard from him since then making me more worried,I really want to help but I don't even know how,"He gets to see Alex on school days when he picks him up and that is enough if you ask me,in fact that is a lot after all he didn't want him in the beginning" I reminded her,"I thought we have been over this,he needs his father" she tried again," I said I will give it a thought and I have done that,Jace carries so much drama around that I am not interested in,left for me he shouldn't have even found us" I stated
Paige's POV"How did you sleep my boy ?" I asked Alex as I he walked into my room with sleepy eyes,it was quite early so I wasn't even expecting him to awake since it's a Sunday,"Quite well" he replied joining me in the bed,he simply lay on me placed and kiss on my cheek and stayed there,as much as that was not a new occurrence it always hit in a different way all the time,sometimes I forget he is still a child with the way he behaves,I beamed at him but he seemed focused on going back to bed on my body and I had no issue with that so I simply rocked him slowly till he fell asleep back.The phone call from yesterday was still reeling in my head,anger was the first emotion I felt last night but right now I just feel nothing and I didn't like it,I was supposed to be totally angry,he didn't have any right,I was supposed to retain my anger to give him a piece of my mind if I see him,he has no right ti be stalking me what I do with my life is definitely none of his business,but to be hone
Jace's POV"Where's your mum?"I asked Alex immediately I noticed my 1 hour was up,in as much as I knew I wanted to stay longer I had to respect her decision,it's the least I can do right now,maybe one day she will agree to stay in a room with me for a long period of time cause she has been avoiding it since the day I saw her,"Somewhere in her room"He replied totally distracted by the show going on that he didn't even bother to look at me when he was talking or to see if he could help me call her, I tried fighting it but the other side of me won and I saw myself heading that direction,she is probably going to kill me for this,I could have asked Alex to inform her that I was leaving but I really wanted to just see her face again because I am very sure she won't have come out to see me, I could hear the slow soft music from her room and her voice singing along,my heart constricted and a feeling of nostalgia hit me hard ,she will never change,I moved a little closer but not to close fo
Paige's POVIt's been two days since that ugly incident as I like to call it,and I was driving down to the hospital to see Sofya then to get Alex and back home it was the same way i handled it yesterday,I could already feel his absence and I hated it,I am wondering how he has actually respected my decision up till now because it's lack of disrespect that caused this in the beginning anyways,maybe he is cooking up something or he just realized what he realized 6 years ago and decided he was done with me,I felt that familiar ache in my chest as that thought crossed my mind and I got even angrier,how could my body still betray me in such a manner, I wasn't supposed to feel anything where Jace is concerned not this emptiness and definitely not the sexual tension,I wasn't supposed to get so turned on but I couldn't help it,I felt his eyes boring holes into my body before I even saw him,I knew he was there but I didn't even think he would have the audacity to actually make himself known,I g
Paige's POVThe 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. ~~~~~~~~~~~"I am here to see Jace Russo" I told the receptionist after much mental encouragement outside,"Do you have an appointment?"
Jace's POV"Paige,you are okay,breathe baby,breathe" I soothed as she hyperventilated in my arms,she was having a panic attack and here I am also panicking with her,"Fuck" I cursed when it seemed like nothing was working,"Please breathe"I whispered trying to contain my fear,she seemed to be in another word of her own,"What the fuck is going on here?"I heard Brandon's voice from the the door but I didn't bother looking up still trying to get here to breathe,she was slipping in and out of consciousness muttering incoherent words to herself,"She's having a panic attack"another voice said,I know that voice and it definitely doesn't belong to Brandon, it doesn't even belong to a man,"Lisa??" I called out shocked,"Flesh and blood,now move she needs air"She ordered and I didn't even know I did just that and let her take over,Lisa handled the whole situation so well I felt so stupid couldn't even do any of the things she did,when did Paige start having panic attacks???...
Paige's POV"Lisa??" 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,"
Jace's POV"Have you finally come to your senses?" My dearest father said as I walked into his office he suddenly moved to the house,Brandon trailing closely behind"That you are nothing but a selfish bastard,yes"I lashed out immediately probably shocking him,"I am your father and you must accord me that respect" he commanded hitting his hand on the mahogany desk right in front of him like that was going to shake me,"Or what,you will manipulate me and ruin my life the more?" I asked seething,"What do you mean by that,I have done nothing but want the best for you my son and for the growth of my sons"he acted,"Tell that to who cares,I know what you did six years ago and for your information she's back in my life and I won't let you hurt her again,sometimes I wonder how I let you manipulated me so much that I hurt the woman I love" I lashed out ignoring the look on his face as I mentioned her,he knew what exactly I was talking about,Brandon heard right after all,"I didn't manipulate
