SAGE

Sage Miller

When Eve called me last night or this morning, damn I wasn't prepared for what she had in store.

When she said she fucked up my mind went straight to maybe she totaled her car.

Hell, I even thought she ran someone over while drunk. That would've been easy to clean.

I would've called Styles and he would've sorted it out in no time.

But damn I wasn't so prepared for what came out of her mouth.

She admitted to have gotten herself a tattoo while drunk.

She didn't what to show nor tell me what it was. All I new is that she was in pain and it was a bad idea.

I didn't know since when was she a fan of tattoos. Beats me really.

I'm not against tattoos, in fact I have a share of my own. I just don't understand when she started liking tattoo.

All I new was that the tattoo was on her back. And she repeatedly told me how much she fucked up by getting one.

"Knock knock." I heard a loud voice on my door.

I already knew who it was, she had told me she'd be here in a little while. That was a while ago.

"No need to yell." I told her opening the door for her to come inside.

Fuck! that was dirty as hell.

"I'm hyped up. I'm excited." She beamed clapping her hands. "You ready for the best day of your life."

My mood was lifted significantly at that moment.

"Yes I am." I smiled widely at her.

"Let's do this." She exclaimed grabbing my car keys but I springed and took them from her so fast before she didn't even realise what was happening.

She gave me a look that said it all. It was full of confusion, concern, it basically said 'should I be worried'.

I gave her a bright smile.

"Let's go." I urged her.

"Yeah let's." She mumbled.

"So my other friend I said I'll invite is at word." Connor never had to work during the day, his actions lately were becoming suspicious.

He fed me some bullshit about having to drive people to the airport since the summer is over and school reopens soon.

It was a long ass explaination that gave me more reason to not believe him.

I know he has a new girlfriend he's afraid to show me. I bet he's spending the day with her.

Or maybe that girl is too ugly he's afraid I'll laugh at him.

Or maybe he's gay.

That's all I could come up with. Those are the logic explaination I could come up with.

"Yeah so it's me, you, Tina and Sebastian. It will be so much fun." She said.

I opened the passenger side for her and she got it. I gently closed the door after she was in.

Before you all of you get your panties in a twist. I didn't do that do be chiverlary or be the perfect gentleman.

I opened the door so she couldn't bang my door when she closes it and ruin my mood and the whole day before it even began because I assure you, if she did that, I'd forget she's a girl.

This is my car. My baby. I love this car. I would never let anyone hurt my baby.

"Yeeeees, let's have fun." I beamed content with things right now.

I chuckled as I pictured Sebastian having fun. In a fair. That seems impossible.

I don't know how I even got him to come with me.

Fuck, what's with the dirty mind today? I haven't had sex in a long time.

Surprisingly and shockingly Sebastian was great. He didn't make too many remarks about the cotton candy or the children.

He did threaten a few people though. It's part of who he is. We played a few game and won some prices.

I did win a teddy for Christina. I only gave it to her because I didn't wanna keep it and since Sebastian won Tina something, I felt obligated to to it too.

That reminded of when we were here with Eva and Styles not so long ago. We stole a teddy bear.

I made it a point to avoid that area.

That day was one of the best days of my summer. Eva was a darling.

Now I realise why Styles holds so much affection for her. She's an Angel.

"Let's go get a reading. Let's go, let's go." Christina said excitedly as she pulled me with her to a blue tent.

I never believed in fortune tellers. Or tarot readers.

I shrugged and let her pull me in.

The tent was dark and empty. The tarot reader wasn't inside.

The whole scene suddenly gave me the hibby jibbies. A cold shiver ran down my spine.

The chair she was suppose to sit in was empty. On the table was a crystal ball, a bowl and a deck of cards.

I wanted to tell Christina that we should get the hell out of here.

I didn't like the feeling but somehow I couldn't voice my thoughts. My mouth and mind wasn't as sync as they usually are.

I felt like I was under a trance. A spell of some sorts. I couldn't move like I wanted to. I couldn't talk. I was just frozen.

Suddenly there was smoke and the tarot reader appeared seated.

I heard a piercing scream as I jumped and Christina launched herself on me.

My heart was pounding so hard in my chest. The allusion or whatever the fuck that was scared the shit out of me.

"Come children. Have a sit." She coaxed us and I found myself finding some warmth and comfort in that voice.

I followed Christina and sat in front of the tarot reader.

"Call me Theresa." She said.

Her voice was oddly and weirdly calming. Her tone eased my racing heart.

I frown at her and looked at Christina. She was calm next to me.
