I know! I've already got a few stories going, and I should really finish them-and I will- but this has been nagging me for a while so I'm making it into a challenge.

Emily obviously has all the support that a group of friends can give, but what about Paige? So, I thought to myself 'what if Paige has that support from friends that live out of town? What if those friends come to town for a while and the PLL get to feel what paige feels every time she's around them: left out.'

So here's the prompt:

While Paige is hanging with the PLL she gets a phone call from one of the friends letting her know that they're coming to visit. The day they arrive is also the day she's supposed to hang out with all the girls per Emily's request, so she invites them all to meet her little 'family'. While they're all hanging out, Paige leaves for a while for any reason you choose and the girls get to talk to Paige's friends alone. Her friends reveal something sad they never knew about Paige's past and it makes them all realize how lucky they are that she's in their life. From there, it's up to you! Bonus points to anyone that has Emily a little jealous over how close Paige and a female friend are. Also, her group of friends can be OC or you can crossover with a different show or movie.

Emily, Hanna, Spencer and Aria were all sitting at a lunch table outside as they talked and waited for Emily's girlfriend to show up. Emily looked down at her phone with a frown, Paige was late. Paige is never late. She had just started to get up to look for Paige, when the very girl she was looking for walked up to the table and took a seat next to her.

"Sorry I'm late, coach wanted to see me after class," she said, leaning to kiss Emily's cheek, drawing a smile from the tan girl.

"Hey, you," Emily said, smiling at her girlfriend.

The other three girls gave their own greetings. Hanna smiled with a happy 'Hi Paige!' Aria with a small smile and a wave, while Spencer only gave a curt nod.

"So what did couch want," Emily asked, turning to look at Paige's sour look.

"She wanted to talk about my times, but they haven't changed in the past week. Apparently, I need to up my game if I want to keep my spot on the team," Paige answered, letting out a sigh.

"That's crazy! You're the best swimmer on the team," Emily said, frowning.

"I know! Sometimes she reminds me of my old... Of someone I used to know," Paige said, catching herself mid- sentence.

"Of who," Spencer asked, finally speaking up.

Paige let out a sigh,"A few friends of mine from when I used to live out of state had a really mean cheerleading coach, and she acted like our coach does sometimes, only worse."

"You never talk about when you moved away," Hanna said, looking at Paige.

"Not much to tell. I had a group of friends and we pretty much stuck with each other. We used to get into all kind of crazy stuff back then," Paige said, smiling at a memory that came to mind.

"You never talk about them," Emily said, looking at Paige.

"They never come up," Paige counters with a shrug.

'I party like a rockstar,

Look like a movie star,

Play like an all star,

Fuck like a pornstar,

Baby I'm a superstar,

Always posted at the bar

Always with a couple broads

Maybe I'm just that that raw'

Paige's phone blasted 'Go girl' as it rang, causing the other girls to look at her in disbelief, that didn't really sound like a song Paige would like. Paige took her phone out and without looking at the caller ID picked up.

"Hey, S." she chirped, picking at the table.

' Hey, P.G. How are you?'

"Ok, what did you do," Paige asked, gaining a curious glance from the girls.

'Why do I always have to be the that does something?'

"Because the last time you started a call like that, I ended up handcuffed to Brittany's bed," Paige huffed, and Emily's eyes shot her an even more confused look.

'Hey! That shit wasn't my fault!'

"You're the one that gave her the cuffs!"

'Well, you coulda said no.'

Paige huffed again,"Have you ever tried to say no to Brittany? She gets these cute little puppy dog eyes and it becomes impossible. It'd be easier to stare at the sun for a few hours."

'Fair enough.'

"You still haven't answered my question," Paige reminded.

'I ain't do nothing wrong, P.G!'

"Then what did you do?" By now, all four girls were listening closely to the phone call.

'I got everyone together so we can take a flight to see you for a few days.'

"You did what?" Paige whisper yelled, mindful that she was not alone.

'Ok, this ain't how it's supposed to go. You supposed to be happy and shit, I pulled all this off by myself.'

Paige sighed with a smile,"I'm happy, I am, but you could have warned a girl. I mean, you aren't one to do good deeds, so what's really up,"

'Britt isn't... She's not herself. Nothing we do helps, so I thought maybe a trip would make her feel better.'

"Is she ok," Paige asked, panic filling her.

'For the most part, you'll see when we get there.'

"Who all is 'we'?"

'Me, Rachel, Quinn, Brittany, Puck, Tina and Mike.'

"I don't even want to know how you got seven pairs of parents to agree with that, but I'm glad. I miss you guy, it's not the same without my Goonies," Paige said.

'You bet yo ass it isn't. It ain't a good time without Santana Lopez.'

"Yes, oh amazing Santana Lopez! Where would my life be without you?" Paige deadpanned.

'Oh you real funny, McCullers. Anyway I gotta bounce, coach will ride my ass if I'm late.'

Paige broke into a smug grin,"hold in the dirty joke, hold in the dirty joke."

'Fuck you P.G.'

"You'd like that, wouldn't you," she said airily.

'Hmm maybe. A'aight, I gotta go, later!'

"Bye, San." Paige said, closing her phone.

"Um, who was that," Emily asked.

"A friend. Turns out my friend from Ohio are flying in, you guys should meet them," Paige said, standing as the bell rang.

"See you after school," Emily asked, gaining a nod from the taller girl.

As Paige walked out, the friends looked at each other. They had never seen that side of Paige, she was always collected and distant. More then anything, they wanted to meet the girl that could make the unshakable Paige relax so much.
