-SAGE-
DarkandDeep"Dark and deep. Just like the richest and the purest soil."Mumma used to say this whenever she combed my hair." My daughter has the eyes of the greenest forest and the hair of the richest soil."She would say.Gone are the days. She isn't here anymore nor is her daughter pure anymore.A soft sight escapes my lips as I place the hairbrush on the dresser. I run my fingers through my hair but disappointment seeps into me when it ended just near my shoulders.Mumma would be so disappointed in you, Sage.All I could do was sigh before opening the door of my room walking out. My anxiety probably began kicking in as I walked down the stairs.Sabrina, Elena and Enrique were sitting in the living room. Elena and Sabrina were giggling about something while Enrique was tying on his phone furiously.Elena and Sabrina both were wearing black tube dresses, pencil heels, perfectly styled hair a-SAGE-" Sage."" No."" Please."" No."" Sage , please." Elliot whines rolling on the floor." No." I whisper hugging my pillow." I need to buy a gift for her." he sobs." Its your girlfriend then go buy it yourself." I huff looking out of the window." But I want you to accompany me." he whines." No." I mumble." Leave me alone." I whisper as he groans." Okay, I'll buy you some candy if you come with me." he says as my ears perk up." Really ?" I ask raising an eyebrow at him." Yeah." he grins." Okay. I'll go." I mumble as he shrieks happily." Ten minutes, I'll wait for you in the car." he yells running out of my room.I sigh changing into a wine-red sweater and black jeans. I wear black heels and put on some makeup . . . just like Sabrina wears hers. I tie my hair neatly into a half updo and puff some perfume on myself.I wasn't happy with what I saw in the mirror eve
-SAGE-" Leave me alone." I yell kicking his abdomen.He winces but the exact moment the doors open as I scramble out of the elevator immediately running whichever way my legs took me.I looked back expecting him to be chasing me with his gun but instead, he was standing there smiling at me. He gives me a flying kiss before he turns around walking away." Sage." Elliot runs to me engulfing me in a hug as soon as the mystery man disappears in the crowd." What took you so long ?" he asks." Nothing." I shake my head." Okay. I got a bracelet for Annalise." he says showing me a diamond bracelet." Its good," I whisper rubbing my throat." Can we go now ?" I whisper." Yeah sure." he smiles.The rest of the ride back home was only Elliot speaking and me being silent like always but this time, my mind couldn't focus on his words.Whenever I closed my eyes, he appeared there with his intimidating gaze. His tongu
-SAGE-Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.I gasp in anguish covering my ears with the pillow. The sound was troubling me, the silence was eating me up and I was scared that they might come back." SAGE."I wince hiding under the covers as the door of my room bursts open. Dad walks in with anger written across his face, I sob trying to move away when he grips my hair in a tight grip pulling me out of bed." Daddy." I sob pushing him away when he plants a harsh slap on my cheek." Shut the fuck up, you little garbage. Don't piss me more or else I'll bury you in the backyard right now." he growls dragging me out of the room by my hair." Daddy please leave," I scream, crying so loudly that my throat began to hurt.I just wish he could see the little Sage in me, his little daughter who he gives piggyback rides and played with. I wish he could be the dad he was before so I could place my head on his lap and tell him about the monsters who sca
*Trigger warning - read at your own risk. Parts In Italics Are Her Flashbacks*-SAGE-" Sage."" Leave me alone," I mumble cuddling to my teddy." Sage." Sabrina mumbles." Go and select jewelry for your engagement Sabrina. Stop pestering me." I mumble shifting away from her.Enrique looks up at us with a frown before he goes back to selecting the rings. Everyone was sitting in the living room deciding the rings for their engagement, tomorrow except Shawn who is too upset to participate in any of this right now." Please listen to me Sage." she whispers." Leave me alone Sabrina. Go and select a ring for your fiance. Leave me alone." I snap at her." Sage." she whispers." Leave me alone means leave me alone Sabrina." I grumbled." Enough Sage." Sabrina yells as she stands up glaring at me." I'm trying so hard to talk to you but you're just doing a great job being a stubborn b*tch." she bellows." The
-SAGE-I wince as a burning smell takes over my senses. Rubbing my eyes with the back of my hand, I open them slowly to find myself in a hospital room.Oh shit. I'm alive." Sage."I whimper at his loud voice, he was sitting near the bed with my hand in his. Shawn's eyes were puffy and his face was extremely pale.Guilt hit me like a tsunami. I am the reason he is suffering. If I just wasn't here then probably things would have been better." Shawn." I whisper.He jumps up from his seat and engulfs me into a tight hug. I rub his back slowly as he cries loudly like a baby." I thought you'll leave me . . . just like mumma did." he sobs loudly with hiccups." I . . . sorry." I whisper not knowing what else to say." I would have died if something had happened to you." he sobs." I'm fine now." I mumble as he cups my face, peppering it with small kisses." I nearly died for a moment, Sage." he whispers resting his face on my shoulder
-SAGE-'' Sabrina ?" I gasp when she turns towards me." Oh my God, Sage you're back ?" she smiles." I was so worried for you." she says sadly.I nod at her but the bunch of hickeys on her neck made me lose my sanity . . . again." Not so worried enough to visit me ? But it's alright, I see you're too busy." I let out a little chuckle though my heart was screaming in pain." Why are you being so bitter ?" she snaps angrily." I'm being bitter ? Your little sister was admitted in the hospital and you couldn't take time out to visit her. Instead you were busy fucking Enrique who. . ." I trail off sobbing as she glares at me." First of all, you were in the hospital because of your own deeds. Who told you to slit your fucking wrists, huh ? I did ? No! Secondly, who is Enrique to you that you're crying so much about it ? I just told you yesterday to let him go and move on but your retarded mind doesn't even get that right." she y
-ENRIQUE-" I can't believe how great you two look together." My mother shrieks happily.I sigh, rolling my eyes as Sabrina giggles." Who knew I would get to marry a prince one day." Sabrina smiles." You wouldn't because I was never yours, remember," I whisper to her as her glare hardens on me." But you are now," she mumbles." Whatever, Sabrina." I sigh." I'll go attend some guests." Mom smiles as she walks away from us." Don't ever pull that stunt again, Sabrina," I growl." Which stunt ?" she frowns." What you did last night." I sigh." We'll talk later Enrique," she whispers turning back to the crowd.The hall was dressed heavily, guests were all over the place. Sabrina was sitting beside me in a gown, waiting for me to put a ring up her finger. But my eyes kept waiting for the one I wanted to see.Will she come? No ? Maybe, yes?The atmosphere of the room suddenly changed, I felt too cold all of a sudde
-SAGE-" I can't do this." He mutters as gasps fill in the room immediately." Asshole." Elliot curses under his breathe.I wipe my cheeks looking at Sabrina who had tears in her eyes. It pained me to see my sister being embarrassed in front of so many people." Sabby is crying," I whisper pulling Shawn's shirt." She deserves it. No one forced her to agree to this marriage." Elliot snaps.I ignore him giving Shawn a little pout." She's crying. Go to her." I whisper." No. I'll stay with you," Shawn mumbles wrapping his other arm around me too." She needs you. She's crying. Go." I mumble pushing him again." I'll be back." Shawn sighs walking up to the stage.Elliot wraps an arm around me, leaning my body onto his as I look at Sabrina cry in Shawn's arms.Enrique runs his gaze through the crowd before they fix on me. He fixes me with a hostile expression before he turns towards the crowd." Hey every
