SAGE

Chapter 15

Sage Miller

My white Audi was in the driveway outside just as Wren said it was. I had somewhere to be in twenty.

Mason showed up in the driveway as I walked to my car. I halted then frowned at him. it baffles me how casually he acts in a house that isn't his.

"Zac isn't here." I blunted out tapping my foot.

He had the audacity to look amused by me. He shook his head stopping for a moment then continued walking towards the house.

"Not here for him." He yelled to me once he was on the porch.

I hated how easy he got under my skin. He does that without saying a damn thing. I huffed debating whether I should walk back into the house or go meet Alora.

Deciding on leaving then coming back later I continue walking to my car.

"You were gonna leave without saying goodbye." I spun around quick to see Eve on the porch.

Mason wasn't behind her, she was alone.

"You took forever in the shower." I told her. She stepped off the porch and came to me.

"I was disgusting." She pouted defending herself.

"I promise to come see you sometime during the week." I pulled her into a side hug.

"I don't believe you but okay." She rested her head on my shoulder.

"I love you okay." I placed a kiss on her temple then hugged her tighter.

"I love you too." I let go of her and waved her goodbye as I got into my car.

I turned the ignition and the engine purr then backed of the driveway.

I looked up the park on my GPS before speeding off towards the park where Alora was waiting for me.

I think Alora chose it because it was Sunday and full of people. I wouldn't do anything in a public place but with her I couldn't control my impulses.

I remembered when I saw Alora

last night, I know what I told her even though I barely remember what happened after I left but I remember that much.

I applaud Wren for her hangover remedy she made because I should be hangover the whole day today.

I found a parking spot near some swings. I got out then took my phone out of my pocket to call her while looking around.

People were everywhere, children with their parents laughing, having fun.

Once upon a time, those people use to be us. I shook my head not wanting to dwell on the best yet dark memories I had of what my life use to be.

I scrolled through my phone for Alora's contact. I dialled it while looking around for her.

I spotted her not far from the swings, she picked up the phone and said something, probably hello. I hung up and approached her.

In the two day that I haven't seen her, she changed and not just the hair color I noticed last night.

She finally saw me coming. She immediately stood up taking two steps back. I should've stopped but I didn't. I wanted to know if her scent was different too.

I sat where she was seated a few seconds ago. The wind helped me catch a sniff of her strawberry scent. At least that much hasn't changed about her.

I looked up at her expectantly. Her eyes were timid, withdrawn. Maybe that was because of me but I doubt it.

The fire that always surrounded her blue orbs was dim if not non-existent. It was as if we we're back to when we didn't know each other, back to her broken self but I didn't brake her. I could never brake her.

I only build her back up again. Two days it took for them to brake her again. My chest clenched with an unknown feeling mixed woth rage.

Timidly, she sat down a foot away from me. The bench was big enough.

We sat in silence, it wasn't awkward or uncomfortable but I wasn't willing to be the one to break the silence. She had to give me direction and I wanted her to blow up, to be angry because I was angry at her.

Her anger I could deal with, I could counter anger but not her sadness and broken self.

"You're not gonna say anything?" She asked giving me exactly what I wanted. Her fury directed at me.

"I said what I wanted to say last night." I arrogantly told her.

"Do you honestly care so little about my feelings." Her voice filled with disbelief.

"What about me?" I countered. "What about what I want because you know damn well you didn't ask me what I wanted."

"It was never suppose to be a thing Sage. You told me countless times that you don't do relationships. I'm tired Sage of just friends with benefits." She raised her voice. A few people that were near us turned their head but neither of us gave a shit.

"You want me to proclaim my undying love for you?" I threw my hands up. "I can't because that's not me. I don't love. I won't tie myself down."

"Good because I wanna tie myself down." I opened my mouth to counter but closed it again. My mind was blank. "You always knew that this was never going to be a permanent situation. You knew I had a boyfriend."

She continue talking but my ego was being crushed.

"So what was I, your bounce back, your boy toy? You used me." I said lowly manipulating her.

"I didn't say that." She defended herself.

"You might as well have." I murmured but she heard me.
