- Paige's POV -

I'm putting on a shirt when I hear a knock on the door. I just got out of the shower and dressed after a day of training.

"Just a minute." I say loudly from my bedroom as I look for my Man United beanie. I find it and put it on as I head out of my room to open my door.

I look to see Tobin and Christen with smiles.

"Hey." I say and let them in my apartment with a smile in return. "I forgot you two were coming." I say and they laugh. "Sounds like you, munchkin." Christen says as I shut the door.

Oh yeah... I'm playing for Manchester United now, seeing as it's September. It's been a rough last few months, but I'm starting to get in the hang of a routine again for myself to make sure I'm staying okay and healthy.

Maya did in fact, pass. It was just so tough to process and Moms, Oakley, and I spent most of our time all together, grieving together so we weren't alone, especially Oakley.

Everyone in the family was affected by Maya's passing as well, seeing as we are all so close.

I'm not gonna talk about this for long because you know how sensitive I am.

Uhhhhh let's see.... Graduation went great, I was valedictorian surprisingly.

Beginning of July, I moved here to England to get settled and all.

"How're you doing, kiddo?" Tobin asks. "Fine? We literally all talked at practice." I say, since we did, and they're my teammates.

"Yeah, yeah. But I think Tobs means like... The situation between you and..." Christen says and I just nod. "I'm fine. I'm doing better than I was and I am fine." I say and my aunts nod. "Good." Tobin says and I nod again.

We hang out and talk for a bit before they have to go and do some things.

I decide to lay down on the couch and scroll though Instagram, something I don't do much anymore.

I then see that everybody keeps tagging me in different posts by the same person and someone else.

what happened between you and Paige

Did you and @off_pkharris break up?

Where's Paige?

I see the picture of the two wrapped in each other's arms, kissing, causing me to toss my phone onto the coffee table as the memories of those few days replays in my head.

- Flashback - July 5th -

It's four in the morning when I wake up to my phone ringing.

I look to see it's Mal, and I then realize she isn't in bed with me since we're at camp, so I quickly answer. Oh yeah, I finally got called up.

"Babe? Where are you?" I ask into the phone. There isn't a response but I hear sounds I'd never want to hear unless they were happening with me.

"Mal?" I ask as I sit up.

No answer.

The sounds continue, in which I've also screen recorded to have proof before hanging up.

I'm so pissed, sad, and hurt at the same time.

I literally leave for England tomorrow and my girlfriend decides to cheat on me?

I get up and take a shower to see if it would help me any and it doesn't. I then pace around the room for a few hours until it's time to head to breakfast.

I sit in the corner alone and don't eat, as I just sit there staring at a wall until my little sister sits next to me, and our Moms joining.

"Hey sweetie, what's wrong?" Mam asks, gaining my attention. I just slide her my phone and an earbud.

"What's this?" Mom asks as she looks at the screen with Mom. "I have it turned down but you won't even need to listen to five seconds of it." I say quietly. Mama plays it her facial expression changes from surprise to anger. "What?" Mom asks and Mama holds the earbud outside Mom's ear. The video causes Mom to instantly be pissed.

"She..." They both ask as they look at me. "Yeah." I nod. What's going on?" Oakley asks before she takes a bite of food. "Don't worry about it." I say calmly. "Okay?" She says then eats quietly.

"Wow, you're glowing! Did you and Paige get it last night?" Someone asks and we all look up to see Mal walking in and she blushes.

"What? No." She says. "Sure. Then explain." Kelley says. "Fine, we did, didn't we beautiful?" Mal says, trying to cover up. The girls all get giddy for some reason. "I didn't, but you did." I say with a straight face.

"Huh?" Some of the girls say.

"What are you talking about?" Mal says.

"Can I speak to you in private?" I ask as I stand up. "Yeah, of course." She says. I start walking towards the entrance of the room, and I motion for Mom and Mama to stay there.

Mal goes to grab my hand but I move it.

I lead us to our room so that we have some privacy.

"What's up?" She asks. I just take out my phone and hit play on the screen recording, and her facial expression drops and loses color in her face.

"You weren't in bed next me when I woke up to this phone call. I answered because it was you calling and you weren't next to me so I got worried." I say coldly. "But no, it wasn't you calling to inform me of something or help with something. It was because you somehow accidentally dialed me, while cheating on me, Mallory." I say as tears well in both of our eyes.

"Paige-" She starts. "No. Why'd you cheat? Am I not enough? Are you tired of being respectful and waiting?" I ask. "What? No, you are enough." She says. "Well, apparently not! I mean who'd you have sex with anyways?" I ask. "Someone." She says. "No shit, Sherlock." I say and give a pissed laugh. "At least tell me how long? Or was it a one night stand? I mean you were in bed with me when I went to sleep." I say.

"Two months." She says, causing my eyes to widen and look at her.

"You mean, you've been cheating on me for that fucking long?! While I was dealing with family, especially my sibling? What the fuck, Pugh?" I ask, and she just nods silently.

"You know, you're pretty good with playing people, Pugh. You got me, you really did, I'll give you that. I should've known since it's happened a lot to me through life, but no, I'm so fucking oblivious to shit. You know, I loved you with all of me, but I just wasted it. We're done." I say.

"Paige, don't do this." She says. "Don't do what? Dump you? You brought this upon yourself." I say. "I'm sorry." She says. "Don't." I say sternly. "Fuck you." I say as I walk past her to leave the room. "Wait, nevermind because someones been doing that to you for the past two months." I say as I open the door and exit the room.

- End of Flashback -

There's a knock on my door, snapping me from my thoughts.

I get up and walk to the door to open it.

I feel a body collide with mine, knocking me back a little bit. The body is slightly shorter and I look down to see it's Oakley, confusing me as I hug her back. I look up to see Moms with smiles.

"Hey!" They say. "Hi? What are you all doing here?" I ask in surprise.

"Orlando isn't in the playoffs as you know already, and your Mama and I retired from club as well now." Mom says. "And we were all missing you so, we thought we'd come visit." Mama says. "Ohhhh. Well come in obviously." I say and move Oakley and I out of the way as they laugh.

"Miss me, huh?" I ask. "Yeah." Oakley says as she nods against my chest, causing me to chuckle. "I missed you guys, too." I say. Eventually Oakley lets go of me and I sit down to enjoy time with my family.
