SAGE
Chapter 25
Sage Miller
Now that I know it seem so obvious. Its freaky actually how many similarities I can now see. Heck, even their behavior seems similar now. From the dirty blonde brownish hair and their freakishly green eyes. I feel so stupid for not seeing before.
I barely slept all night, twisting and turning. I kept thinking about the possibilities of them being step brothers.
I searched Styles but Wikipedia had nothing on him so I searched his sister. I remembered that her name is Jane.
I got that her mother's name is Cassandra and has a sister too her name is Amari. Most important I got that her father's name is Jonathan Styles.
That's means Harry's father is Jonathan Styles, Connor's mom said that was Connor's dad name too. That couldn't be just a coincidence.
Should I tell Styles? I mean if I were him I would want to know if I had siblings out there but Styles is not me and he isn't normal.
Any normal human being would want to know. With him you never-
"Quit staring you're being more creepy today." Connor said frowning a little.
Even his little frown mimics someone I know.
All I see in him is Styles now. The blonde hair. The green eyes. Except he doesn't have a dimple.
With that frown he looks like a young version of Styles, if I'd known him.
"Um yeah sorry, I was just thinking." I mumbled looking down on my plate.
I heard him sigh.
"Look. I know you heard what mom said yesterday but I really don't wanna talk about it so don't bug me. I hate this tension between us. And this awkward air isn't exciting either. You apologized for what you said back when you where in Toronto so we're cool."
"Yeah we're cool." I cleared my throat and finished my breakfast.
After breakfast I left. I went to the hideout for a meeting that would be held at 3.
I was a little early but I had nothing and I haven't been at the hideout in a while, I kinda missed being there.
Later today I have to get my car at Wren's. So that's something I'm excited about.
I spent the drive to the warehouse thinking about Connor and Styles. I still haven't decided if I should tell him about my findings or not.
I knew he was at the warehouse, he always is but the parked SUV confirmed it.
I got more nervous walking inside the building, I don't know if I can look him in the eye and not say what I know. Somehow I knew looking at him would confirm what I already knew. Styles and Connor are half brothers.
"You're early." He declared without lifting his head.
"Good morning to you too." I sarcastically said. I'm still pissed at him about last Saturday when we were at The Ring.
"I really missed your sassy ass." He said but I picked up on his sarcasm. I rolled my eyes and sat down on the sofa in his office.
I didn't realized I was staring at him until he said it.
"I know I'm irresistible but I don't play for the other team, your sister is more of my type."
I blinked a few times and saw the smirk that lingered on his lips.
"First, ew. I didn't need need to know that and don't flatter yourself. You're not that handsome." I countered. "Even if I decided to switch teams, you wouldn't be my type."
"FYI, I am everyone's type. I turn straight men gay." He said then we both busted out laughing for a second before we fell back into an uncomfortable silence.
"If you don't stop staring I'll assume you're in love with me." I blinked a couple of times.
I hadn't realize I was staring at him again.
"Whatever it is that's bugging you I suggest to you spit it out because it's creepy and getting on my nerves." He came around his desk and leaned against it folding his arms.
I sat back on the sofa and looked up at the ceiling.
"I'm was just thinking about how many secrets do you have."
I confessed. Of course this time around I meant something completely different. I was talking about Connor and if he knew that he exists.
It wouldn't be farfetched considering he barely acknowledges his other sister Amara if not at all. The dude even denied his mother, I get it family can be complicated and all but I don't see what Connor could've done to him, because it's Styles maybe being born is what set him off.
"Don't, you'll give yourself a migraine. I have too many secrets." And I didn't argue that. He does have many secrets.
"Why didn't you tell me you were Shadow?" This has been bugging me for a while now. A whole week to be exact. I decided to leave the half brothers issue alone.
"I thought you would have figure it out really. I gave you so many clues and hints. It's not my issue you're dumb as fuck." He shrugged.
"Hey." I grumbled. How dare he call me dumb.
"That doesn't matter right now." His voice suddenly turned serious. "When you were away I discovered a leak."
What?
"What? Who is It? Why didn't you tell me?" I shot him questions already on my feet.
