Paige's pov:

"I can't do this anymore im going to text her" I said to Azzi lying on her bed while she was fixing her hair for practice "Oh my god Paige you just woke up, she said she need some time, just wait" Azzi said already irritated "Why is this so hard, im such an idiot" Most of the time moving on has always been easy for me, but this time...this time I just can't stop to think about Annie, how bad she must be feeling right now, and the worst part is that I am the reason. I should have acted faster and made Julia leave, I should've looked for her instead of staying there drinking "Paige stop blaming yourself, we all know you didn't want things to be this way, I know that when she listen to you she will forgive you. And when she does, you better treat her right like she deserves." Azzi said seeing that I was nervous for a girl for the first time "What should I do?" I asked, Azzi turned her head to look at me "What do you mean?" "What should I do to treat her right?" I didn't know, I didn't know how to deal with her, most of the girls I had been with were just a casual hook up but this time with Annie I wanted the things to be different, I needed to show her that, but how? "Start asking her on a date" Azzi said with her all attention on me "Right...".

We kept talking a little more and I texted Annie, hoping she would answer me even though it had only been a day since the party event. We went to practice and today Annie and Sarah wouldn't be there, I was sad and relieved at the same time, I don't want to imagine look at Annie's face now. After practice Nika came to talk to me in the locker room "So... what was that at the party, I hope you have a good reason" I knew Nika would belive me, she is my best friend, so I explained everything to her and she listened without judging me "I knew you had a explanation, but it's better you tell Annie this" "Is she okay? She hasn't aswer my text since yesterday" I asked worried knowing Nika probably knew something about her "She is not doing well, but she is dealing with it, just give her some time and she will talk to you" Nika said patting my shoulder "Do you think she will belive me?" My biggest fear was Annie not beliving me "She will, but you're going to have to prove her that you really mean it, that you really like her and want her, you know?" Nika always helped me feel more confident, whether it was on the court or off the court "I get it, I'll ask her out on a first date to apologize" I said "You haven't ask her out yet??" Nika said in a shocked tone, she was right I should've done that a long time ago "No..." "Oh my god, how is Annie with you?"

"I ask myself that everyday".

Back in my dorm I was packing to go to Iowa, I was planning to take Annie on a date there so I picked out the bests outfits I could. When I was almost done I dicided to check my phone, Annie had made a post with Sarah they were hanging out, this just made me realize how much i am missing Annie and how I messed up I knew I had one thing I couldn't do, lose Annie's trust and I did that I lost her trust.

"Hey P, what are you doing?" Nika said walking into my room, as always I don't know how she got in here "Hi, im just packing to Iowa" I said "Uh-hum, it looks like you're staring at Annie's picture" I looked at my phone that was lying on the bed at Annie's post "Oh-It's not that I was just scrolling you know, and her post was there and-" "Paige it's okay, you are missing her it's normal,but don't worry you will fix this" Nika said sitting on my bed with me "Yeah... I hope so" "Just relax a little, you need to focus on yourself now, figure things out about yourself and understand the person you want to be for Annie" Nika giving me good advice again as always "you're right thanks twin" I said letting out a breath I didn't even realize I was holding "It's just-it's so hard to forget Annie, she made me see a different way of... love i guess..." I said leaning against the headboard and looking ag my hands, feeling a little shy to show my vulnerable side "Ohwn P that's so cute, trust me I can see how happy she makes you, how your mood light up when she's around" Nika is the best friend I could ever ask for, she knows me so well "Ugh I can't belive im falling for her" I said hiding my face in the pillow "Don't worry twin, this is a good thing" Nika said laughing "Let's do something so you can stop to think about your girl for a while" 'my girl' the way Nika said that just made me realize how much I want Annie to be officially 'my girl' and how I really like her, how I need her around me, how could I lose her? But now I need to get her back, get my girl back.

We ended up ordering pizza and eating at KK's and Aubrey's dorm with Azzi, Nika, Ice and I.

The movie ended and we were chatting in the living room "So... Sarah is coming over guys" KK said a little shyly, which wasn't typical of her "have you two figure it out?" I asked "I invited her to talk about it, im ready right now" KK said with a proud tone and I nodded feeling happy for her "That's great KK" Aubrey said "Finally right?" Nika made a teasing comment.

In almost 10 minutes Sarah arrived, "Hi everyone" I can't lie, I was expecting to see Annie with her and also scared because it was the first time I saw Sarah after the party "Where is An?" Nika asked and the sound of her name caught my attention, Sarah burned me with her gaze when Nika mentioned Annie's name "She is in the dorm, she is cooking and I didn't wanted to disturb her. You now Annie, her cooking time is sacred" If Annie was cooking in a random night I know I fucked things up "Is she baking brownies?" Nika asked "i think so" "Im going there, I LOVE Annie's brownies" then Nika went to Annie's dorm, I wish I could go with her I tought about going, but she needs space like she asked for... "um Paige..." Sarah said "Yes?" "Can we talk real quick?" I knew she would kill me, all the girls looked at me with a scared face I needed to say yes "sure" I said "KK I promise I will be quick alright?" "Okay, im waiting for you in my room" KK told her. The girls were already leaving so there was only Azzi in the living room, I didn't care about her listening "I know what happend, you dont have to explain anything to me, just to Annie." She started and I listened quietly "Look what im going to say is very serious so listen to me. Annie is the best girl in the world and she's like a sister to me so you better treat her like she deserves, I know what happend was a misunderstanding so I'm taking it easy but you better try to find a way to make Annie forgive you because she is not happy, if you hurt her one more time Paige I swear..." She took a deep breath "but since you're my friend, I'll give you a tip on how to do it, Taylor Swift, chocolate and pasta are her favorite things in the world so... She would love an apology date like this, you should ask her on a date by the way. Now you deal with your problems to get her back." I didn't know what to say then she spoke again "Now that I've scolded you...How are you Bueckers?" Sarah would never stop being the caring friend she is, I smiled feeling grateful that Sarah still cares about me "you know, trying not to freak out" I let out a laugh, and she hugged me "You'll get her back, don't worry. Annie really likes you, you just have to do the right thing" She said in the hug "Thanks Cameron" we parted away "okay, I need to fix the things with my girl now" she left to KK's room.

"See? Everything is going to be okay P" Azzi said as we walked back to our dorm, I nodded silently thinking at how I would get Annie back.

It's going to be different this time, It's different because it's her, because it's Annie.

Hi, here's Paige's pov, as I said, I'm terrible at writing sad things, and life is already hard enough to read sad things, right?
