SAGE

Sage Miller

I ran a hand on my face feeling very frustrated and annoyed. If there's someone I don't wanna see right now, it's Kate and her drama. That girl drags drama wherever she goes and I'm too tired to entertain her.

"What the fuck are you doing here Kate?" I deadpanned and pushed my hair back.

She ignored me and strolled in like she ownedd the place. I sighed and followed her to the living room.

"We need to talk." She demanded and sat down on the sofa I was sleeping in a few minutes ago.

"Why not make yourself at home." I sarcastically told her.

"Oh, don't worry your pretty little heard. I'm planning to." She retorted making herself very comfortable.

I raised one eyebrow at her questioningly waiting for her to speak up.

The silence was deafening between us as she seem to think of what to say. Her bitchy and hard exterior crumbled and at that moment she looked human.

"You know Sage, you don't get to end this I don't want this to end." She started softly. No disdain, no resentment in her words. She sounded vulnerable. "I actually like you and I waited a long time for you to notice me when you finally did noticed me you were gone before I knew it. I didn't get to enjoy the moment."

My brows pecked up in surprised. I sure wasn't expecting that. Kate is known for being a bitch. The Queen bee of our grade. She went out with guys so she can have bragging rights. I'm surprised it was different with me.

But still I didn't care.

"I don't date Kate." I pointed that out to her. "I told you the other day, we had our fun and that's over. No need to drag this on and cause unnecessary drama."

"I will cause drama Sage. As long as I don't get what I want." She said and her voice changed into malicious. "There's something you should know about me Sage, I always get what I want."

"Good luck with that." I sarcastically said. I added an eye roll. "Now get out of my house."

I wasn't kidding and I made sure to show it in my face.

"I won't allow you. I'm Kate freaking Anderson. No one rejects me." She exclaimed and I'm done with this.

"Fine I'm going to sleep." I said in a monotone voice already walking away. If she wanted drama I won't give it to her.

"Get back here Sage." She demanded but only one girl can order me and that's my sister, even she doesn't do that.

"Lock the door on your way out." I called halfway up the stair.

I don't know what she did next and I couldn't care less.

The next morning I woke and my phone ringing. It honestly felt like this was becoming a habit. People couldn't just let me sleep in the morning.

I groaned and growled hoping that the person would give up and leave me alone but

it didn't stop. The person was persistent. Finally giving up on sleep, I sat up and grabbed my phone.

I was surprised and scared when I saw the caller Id. Wren. I didn't know what to think of it. My first thought was if Eve was alright. I couldn't help but think of the worst things possible

I hurriedly and picked up the call.

"Wren." I rushed out already at the brink of panicking. Calls from here are never good new especially this early in the morning.

"Morning Sage." And that tiny hope that I had that Eve was alright was crushed by the tone of her voice. She Was worried and I could tell.

"What happened to her?" I panicked already looking for clothes to wear.
