SAGE

Chapter 7: Consequences

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 © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

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.

I looked at the door like he'll walk in again. I looked at Sebastian then the door.

"You fucked up." I declared.

"You and Connor's mom." I stated.

"Yes." He sighed and I snorted

"You and Connor's mom." I said once again.

"Stop saying Connor's mom." He groaned. "It's Barbra."

I already knew that's Connor's mom's name but saying Connor's mom was more fun than saying her

name.

I've cleaned him up and stitched his jaw. I learnt that a while ago when u used to stitch Eve.

"Okay, okay." I said. "You and Barbra."

"Yes." He said once again. I could tell he was getting irritated.

"But you and Barbra."

"How long are you going to say it?" He growled. I could see the thread threatening to snap.

"Until I can believe it." I told him.

It's true. No matter how much I think about it. I can't believe that Sebastian fucked Connor's mom.

"You and Connor's mom." I said once again. Sebastian actually heaved an animalistic growl.

"Fuck off Sage. I'm so fucking stressed right now. I don't need your annoying ass pestering me too." He

snapped.

I actually laughed at his man child tantrums. I didn't send him nor did he talk to me first. And this is

funny as fuck.

I let him calm down from his tantrums before I asked again.

"So since when?" I asked referring to his affair with Barbra.

I cringed at the word affair. It makes it sound like we're old married man. Ew.

He sighed and his tense shoulders deflated.

"About a month ago." He said.

I hummed monitoring for him to continue.

"You know how he always invited us for dinner but we never went, right?" I agreed. "You were with

Alora and I didn't want to spend time alone at my apartment."

A felt a pang of guilt when he said that. Sebastian was just like me, he hated being alone in his

apartment. And I was selfishly with Alora and forgot about him.

"I went to Connor's and he wasn't there. Barbra told me to wait for him and convinced me to have

dinner with them. Before Connor came home, we started to talk about everything and nothing at all.

Turns out that he's not as boring as most parents. She's fun and cool. And when Connor came home,

he was surprised to see me there but he down played it. We had dinner and we went to Connor's room

and we slept.

He paused and seemed to be thinking if he should tell me more or not.

"I woke up in the middle of the night thirsty. I went to the kitchen and saw Barbra working. She was

startled but didn't say much and after I got my water I was going to walk away but she seemed.......

sad. I don't know what willed me to sit down and talked to her. It surprised both her and me.

Surprisingly the talk wasn't awkward or anything. It was refreshing. And everything that went down from

there was history."

He finished and I was astonished.

"Wow." I said to him. "Just wow."

"I know." He whispered.

"That's so fucked up on so many levels."

"I know so stop reminding me." He grumbled angrily.

After I drove Sebastian to pick up his car I went back to my house.

So much for a calm Sunday. I thought to myself as I walked to the kitchen to make myself food.

A man gotta eat sometimes. I couldn't stop thinking about Connor. He must be feeling like shit.

No matter how much I try to excuse Sebastian for his action, I can't. He messed up big time.

My thoughts are interrupted by my ringing phone. I snapped out of my thoughts and pulled it out of my

pocket.

When I saw the caller Id I frowned. I quickly pressed answer.

"Hello Sage." She hesitated.

"Ms Simpson. How are you?" I didn't know if it was the right question to ask but I didn't know what else

to say.

"I'm not good, have you seen Connor?" She asked hesitantly.

"He was here earlier but he left immediately after that." I told her politely.

"Ok thank you and if he comes by please tell him to call me."

"I sure will Ms Simpson."

She hanged up and I just stared down at my phone. This situation I'm caught in between is so fucked

up.

Why am I always in the middle of shit?

At least it's not my shit this time. I thought as I finished making my sandwich.
