SAGE

Chapter 34: Mistakes

Sage Miller

The next couple of days went by fast. By the time I realised a week was gone and in Friday I would be

in New York, the city that never sleep. For a Cotillion I'm not even suppose to be part of.

In school, everything was good. I was popular and I had girls falling at my feet. Even the seniors fell at

my feet but only one girl I couldn't get to fall on my feet. Only one didn't fall at my feet.

The attention, the love, the lust could only satisfy me for so long you know. It wasn't enough especially

when the one girl I wanted to fuck had ghost me. She blocked me all communication with me. I couldn't

get to her. No matter how hard I tried.

One time I had almost drove to her house but my now big ego wouldn't let me lower myself that much.

Even if it took a few hits when she left with her asshole of a boyfriend, it was still that big.

Even if she was a devil in between the sheets, I couldn't let her get to me than she already did. I let my

guard down and she almost got to me. Not anymore.

Everything at the warehouse was good although I couldn't hang with Styles as much as I did

throughout the summer.

We were both on different schedule. And when I was free he was busy. After all he too was attending

the Cotillion in New York and he would be leaving on Wednesday like Eve.

I hope Eve would be alright until I get there on Friday.

I knew that Alora would be attending the Cotillion with her asswipe she calls a boyfriend.

I have so much anger towards a person I declared days ago I didn't care about.

I laid on my bed just thinking about her when my phone rang.

I knew it wasn't her because she blocked me and she wouldn't call me. I gave up waiting for her call a

while ago.

I pressed answer as soon as I saw it was Styles. Maybe he could take my mind off Alora.

"What happened to Eve this morning?" He asked as soon as I answered.

My brows creased because his question startled me. I didn't know what happened to her.

Though it was Sunday I didn't meet with her. She was suppose to be shooting a commercial with that

fucker Axel.

"Ummm... Hey.. eh... I don't know. What happened?" I weirdly replied because of how startled I was.

"I wouldn't be asking you if I knew, now would I?" He snapped at me.

I didn't mind that much though because, 1 I was now worried and 2 I know it came from a somewhat

good place, 3 he's the God father.

"I don't know dude, I haven't talked to her today at all. I would know if something happened. And what's

with you?" I snapped at him.

"Well call to fucking find out now would you." He hanged up.

I was beyond confused and I was positive if something happened to her, Wren would call me prompt.

I first called Eve and her phone went straight to voicemail.

I frowned as called again and still the same results.

Eve never switches off her phone. It's not something she does.

I was now worried. The fear settled in my bones. I know knew that something did indeed happen to her.

When the worry settled, anger took over. How could something happen to Eve and no one bothered to

call me.

I felt betrayed.

Before I realised what o was doing I had already dialed Zac's number and he answered immediately.

"Sage, hello." He chirped but I was in no mood for him. I was pissed.

"Don't hello Sage me. What happened to Eve? Why didn't anyone bothered to call me?" I exploded.

His silenced confirmed that something serious indeed happened to her.

"Zac." I growled.

"Who told you?" He asked fishing to know how much do I know.

"It doesn't matter now what the fuck happened." I fired.

"Okay, okay. I promised her I wouldn't tell a soul." He said.

"When?" I asked.

"This morning. She called me to pick her up at a park where she was suppose to shoot at. She was

shaking so hard. She had a nasty panic attack. I don't know what happened she wouldn't tell me." He

explained and my body deflated.

It has been a while since she had a panic attack. What seted her off? Who?

Is she even taking her medication? Did she even pick up her prescription?

I've been so caught up in myself and girls I forgot to notice the little thing. I suddenly felt so guilty.

I neglected her.

I'm sorry dad.

"Where is she? Put her on the phone." I demanded.

"She's asleep. When we got home she went up to her room and when I went up there she was so

drank then she passed out." He explained.

"You left her alone." I gaped at his nerve.

"I'm sorry dude. You know how she can be. She didn't want me near her when we got home. I was so

scared and worried then I went to her and found her drunk." I hate to admit it but I know how she could

be.

I know how stubborn she could get and I know she didn't want Zac to see her like that.

"It's okay man. Sorry for snapping but how was she when she passed out." I asked my voice calmer.

"It's okay. She was calm. She did promise to tone it down with the drinking though." He said.

I rolled my eyes. Her promise might as well mean nothing because she would stop drinking the day she

felt like it. No one would make her do it.

"Keep an eye on her okay. I'll call her in the morning." I told him.

"You know she'll be pissed I told you right?"

"Maybe." I chuckled and we said our goodbyes.

I had almost forgotten the while reason why I called Zac. To get information for Styles.

I called him and he picked up on the first ring.

"Talk." He demanded.

"She wasn't picking up so I called Zac." I started but he was impatient.

"And." He urged me.

"He said she had a nasty panic attack." I told him.

I had learned that there were three people in this man. Harry, Styles and the Godfather.

Harry was Eve's. Styles is who he showed his friends and me I guess. Then there's the Godfather.

The man who wants to be in charge of every situation even if he doesn't hold the cards.

That's who I was dealing with right now.

"And where is she now? Who the fucked happened to cause her a panic attack." He seethed but not

necessary at me.

I knew he was angry and worried. Probably more than I was.

I sighed deeply.

"She's passed out drunk and Zac doesn't know what happened. She wouldn't tell him." I told him.

He sucked in a sharp breath letting his human side show before he collected himself.

"That will be all." He dismissed me and I sighed again.

He will die and she will die too. They should just get back together and save everyone the stress.

In the morning I called Eve and we talked for a while. She promised to tell me what happened when we

met Friday in New York.

I excepted that because I knew I couldn't persuade her.

I walked down the stairs and the house felt oddly and spooky quiet. Even with the music it felt haunted.

I hated staying at this house alone. When I was with someone, it doesn't feel haunting at all.

I hate staying at this house alone when I knew that she was buried only a few steps away from my

room.

It made sleeping in this house alone seemed spooky.

Connor has been spending more time at his mom's. Not that he shouldn't but I hate spending time

alone in this house.

I didn't even try to go to the kitchen. I wanted out of here as soon as possible.

Connor, Seb and I met at a diner near our school to have breakfast. That was our routine we started a

year ago.

Every Monday we ate at this diner before school. We didn't do it last week because we wanted to start

a ruckus but we were back at it now.

"She's so annoying." Sebastian groaned.

Connor laughed at his misery.

"Tell me about it. Kate won't stop following me around and Friday at the party, I might have fucked her."

I complained.

"I would say that was stupid if you ain't an idiot." Connor scolded.

"Why would you fuck her?" Sebastian added.

"She was there man and she wouldn't stop following me around. I'm an idiot." I told them and buried my

face in my hands.

"You can say that again." Sebastian mumbled.

I was honestly dreading going to school today and since I was elected to be co-captain. She's been

more persistence.

As if the car and the new expensive clothes weren't enough.

"Why don't you mind you damn business Seb. Where's Chloe huh?" I snapped without meaning to.

"I didn't fuck her." He counted. Obviously lying. An obvious lie.

"Guys. Stop fighting like girls." Connor meddled.

Oh the ever nice guy stopping his friends from fighting. How cliche.

"You guys are friends. I know he's and asshole and you're an idiot but guys please. Everyone's

watching you. Now let's go to class."

We stood up following Connor as he led us back to our cars.

By lunch time I had successfully avoided Kate. I was slightly calm.

I went to my locker first and dumped the books I had before going to the cafeteria.

We shared our lunch with the seniors so the cafeteria was packed.

I paid for my sandwich and joined the guys at our table.

We were invited to the 'popular' table last Friday but we had long decided to start our own popular

table.

We talked as we had lunch and when we were finished we decided we wanted to skip today. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Like the heavens had finally turned their backs on me. Kate sat down next to me.

Sebastian rolled his eyes and dragged Connor with him. Sebastian hated Kate. The hate was just too

much between them.

Kate scoffed as Sebastian walked away. She made sure to do it quietly so he wouldn't hear her.

Kate didn't just hate Sebastian but she feared him too. He's probably the one person in this whole

damn school she wouldn't mess with.

I rolled my eyes at her and sat back down. I noticed how so many eye were on us.

"What are you doing here Kate?" I deadpanned getting very bored of this cycle.

"I have to tell you something." She excitedly said.

"Can't it wait. I have somewhere to be." I said.

"No it can't." She replied.

"Okay fine what is it you want?" I gave in because the sooner she can say whatever she wants the

sooner I can get out of here and out of her sight.

"So since I'm the new co-captain of the cheerleading squad and you're the co-captain of the football

team. I thought maybe we could.." She trailed off.

I knew where this was going. I didn't like it.

"Absolutely not. No way." I told her.

"Why not?" She whined.

"Because I don't date date and frankly I'm not that into you." I said for what felt like a millionth time.

She surprised me by laughing.

"How many times should I tell you. Everyone is that into me Sage." She said batting her eye lash.

I didn't notice most of her flirtatious attempts but I did caught this one.

"Not me." I said as a matter of fact.

"Even you Sage. I'm just that hot. If you weren't you wouldn't have been all over me last Friday." Her

voice was low and seductive. "We could be a power couple. Even bigger that Zoe and Todd. The

captains."

I snorted a bit.

"Did you have a brain seizure because that would explain your memory loss." I chuckled. "I wasn't all

over you. You were following me around. Big difference."

"You took me to one of the rooms. Explain that." She boldly said. I rolled my eyes.

"You wouldn't stop throwing yourself at me. I just gave you what you were begging for." I told her. "And

I'm a man. I'm not made of stone. You wanted me to fuck you so I fucked you."

"But you have to admit. Together we could make magic. Imagine what people would say if we got

together. The captain of the football team and the captain of the cheerleading squad are together. Why

can't we be together?"

"Because we can't. I don't date. Stop being pathetic, it doesn't suit you." I started to get up but she held

my arm pulling me back down.

I would've easily over powered her but I'm not into that sort if thing. I don't use my power against

women.

Then explain Clara. My inner sub-conscious asked.

The answer to that was simple. Clara Miller wasn't human. Much less a woman.

With a sigh, I sat back down. Maybe it was the pained expression that made me sit but it didn't matter

because I did sit down.

"I don't get you Sage." Kate said as soon as I sat down.

"What don't you get?" I asked with a sigh.

I knew she was about to spew some shit out of her mouth but I humored her.

"You see me when you're drunk but as soon as you're sober you don't see me. It's like I disgust you."

After she said that, she let go of my arm and walked away.

She left me sitting there. I thought I would have to fight my way out of there.

I hated to admit but her words got to me. They pierced through my heart. It wasn't necessarily her but

her words.

I am that heartless.

I stood and went to find my friends.
