It’s a long story
Weren’t they all? Weren’t all of their fcking stories long? Want to hear Paige’s? It involves being raised as someone’s fcking sister when she was actually their daughter and subsequently being lied to for her entire life. That, and more than a handful of people realizing that she wasn’t worth it - though, it was not like that news was new.
Paige didn’t have a chance to contemplate the… man’s question - however, the puzzle pieces in her mind were already piecing together. Honestly, it didn’t take a fcking genius to realize that the white…adult… man who was oddly worried about both Paige and Annie = possible biological dad. Despite any… curses that Paige wanted to say, her train of thought was caught off by Annie. “You’re not fcked, we’ll figure this out. Worst comes to worse, I’ll fcking text my genius hacker cousin and he’ll do something.” Paige responded, though her eye raised at the question of her going to the hospital. Look, Paige liked her cousin Jez and all… but new babies? And her? Yeah no - and clearly the look on her face at the moment told Annie everything she needed to know.
So there she was, watching her… twin sister leave and being left alone with a man she assumed screwed Anna Pierce almost two decades ago. Well, technically she was left with the Sperm Donor and a nervous idiot who should have fcking disappeared by now.
Turning back towards the two of them, there was honestly a list of things she could do streaming through her mind. Sure, she could yell at the man, scream, curse him out. Honestly, all sounded like things that would come easily for the girl. But instead, she found herself at a loss for words. Well, that was until she found herself pulling out a joint from her pocket and placing it in front of him. “So you don’t have any of the good sht, do you at least have a light?” She found herself bringing the joint to her mouth, waiting for the man to light it up for a mere second before continuing her words while the joint remained in her mouth You know what, forget it - it’s not like you gave me anything for the past 17 fcking years, I don’t really think I need anything else from you."
And with that, she pulled her own lighter out in front of him, took a long drag, and let the smoke fall from her lips before walking away and back towards Eddie’s car… which she had absolutely no intention of giving back to the man. Nope, sorry Eddie - Paige Pierce was going for a drive. And clearly, by the puppy dog following her towards the car, she wouldn’t be doing it alone.
@Littlefeets - I imagine her dad doesn’t want her high and driving alone
