SAGE novel Chapter 7

Billie Eilish - Bad guy

This song isn't related to the chapter. It's just that I can't write a chapter without adding music. It's a habit, I won't feel the chapter complete unless I add a song.

Sage Miller

"You kissed his mom." I exclaimed loudly. My mind completely blown.

"Stop repeating everything I say." He growled then winced.

I've been friends with Sebastian since kindergarten. We bonded over our love for mischief but he's the scary one. He intimidate the shit out of many people.

People often think I'm scary but I'm not scary as shit compared to Sebastian.

"You can't blame me." I mumbled. "So is there a part where you tell me you're joking?"

I asked just as a loud knock rang throughout the house. My head snapped to Sebastian who seemed to know who's at the door.

Seconds later a voice shouted.

"I know you're here." Connor yelled. "Sage open this fucking door or I'm knocking it down."

He banged the door some more. I looked over to Sebastian for some reason. He shrugged.

"I warned you." He said and I quickly went to the door and opened it.

Connor's face could tell a whole story. To say he was pissed would be a fucken understatement.

"Where is he?" He busted inside pushing me aside. He marched towards the living room and i followed him.

For all the years I've known Connor, since 6th grade. I've never seen him this angry. Even when his mom brought a new guy home. He's never this angry.

This guy is the most laid back out of our trio. People often said he doesn't belong with the two of us because of how humble and modest he is. Sebastian and I are cocky barstard. Their words.

They say Connor is our little pet. Their not completely wrong. There's some truth to their saying.

"You're a fucking asshole." I reached the living room just as Connor punched Sebastian.

"Connor stop." I yelled at him but he didn't. He bashed him again but Sebastian wasn't fighting him, he was blocking.

I know for a fact the Sebastian could take Connor any day. He trained with me at the warehouse. The gang trained us.

"You shameless barstard." I pushed Connor of Sebastian but he spun around and pushed me. Hard.

"Get the fuck of me." He yelled. For a moment I'm frozen. I get that he's pissed and angry at Sebastian. What Sebastian did was unexpected but that doesn't mean he get to push me.

I snapped out of the trance I was in and roughly pulled him off Sebastian.

"You wanna fucking fight him. Do it out of my house." I snapped at him.

"You're siding with him?" He asked angrily. "You know what he fucken did."

He cringed and flinched as I saw his eyes wonder for a second.

"I don't care. You don't get to throw your tantrums in my house, push me and get away with it." I told him.

"I knew you'd side with him." He sneered furiously. "He's sleeping with my mom. My fucking mom."eve

My jaw dropped and my eyes subconsciously drifted to Sebastian. He said he kissed her not he was sleeping with her.

I don't wanna believe Sebastian is capable of such but I do know him. I know he's capable of almost anything. But that doesn't stop me from defending him.

"He wouldn't sleep with her. He only kissed her." I looked straight in Sebastian's eyes and the shame in them told me he did.

"You did, didn't you?" I whispered afraid of his answer. Maybe if I whispered the words he wouldn't hear it and he wouldn't have to confirm it.

Sebastian looked away and that confirmed indeed he did.

Connor's mom is young, very young. She got pregnant at a young age and her family disowned her immediately and Connor's dad left after she told him she was pregnant.

She's a single mom. With Connor, she put herself through school and got a degree in business law. I think. She managed all that without anyone's help.

"He doesn't know when to keep it in his pants." Connor spat and pointed at Sebastian.

He tried to lung for Sebastian but I pulled him before can strangle him.

He snapped towards me.

"You know what he did but you're still protecting him." He asked, disbelief flooding his face.

I hate being stuck between their drama.

"I'm not protecting him but you will not fight in My house." I said in a matter of fact.

"You're fucking protecting him. He's a disrespectful son of a bitch. He betrayed me and disrespected my mom. What kind of friend is He? Her been sleeping with my mother and a thousand of other girls out there. What kind of asshole are you. I can let you get away with your assholy way with me but my mom. That's a another fucking different story."

When he finished his speech he was out of breath and furious.

"You two are assholes." He spat including me.

"What did I do?"

"You're siding with him like I knew you would. Even after I told you what he did. You choose him"

"I didn't choose anyone." I defended myself. I didn't choose.

"Sure you did." He deadpanned. "You're siding with him. You always will. You always have."

I sensed that there was another issue bothering him more than this. Like we're no longer talking about the same thing.

"What are you talking about?" I frowned.

"You know what I'm talking about." He said in a monotone voice. "I'm not as naive as I look. I do realise stuff, you two are always hanging out without me. You have secrets. So many secrets. Secret phone calls. I doesn't matter though. I'm your little pet right?"

He spat and stormed out living both mine and Sebastian's jaw touching the floor.

I heard his car drive off.
