SAGE novel Chapter 34

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.

"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.
