Life As A Spy

Chapter 26

<Garrick's Pov>

Wow, what did Brandon get himself into?
Why would he hurt Clara like that?
She's so sweet... He did the same thing to his last girlfriend.
He just doesn't trust people.
It's our last day here, so we want to relax and have fun.
Today, the guys and I are going bowling, while the girls are having another girls' day, since we ruined the last one.
When we get to the alley, there are a couple lanes open.
The first game Isaac won, then the next I did.
Usually Brandon wins at least one, but he's been very distracted lately.
Then, the lights are turned down and a disco ball lowers from the ceiling.
The DJ plays some music and everyone starts dancing.
We dance along and a girl comes up to Isaac.
"Hey baby, want to dance?" She says and pulls him close.
He tries to get out, but it's not working.
I quickly go over and help him.
Finally, we get away, but see Brandon making out with a girl in a short pink dress.
Isaac takes a picture and sends it to Sage.
She is going to flip.
What the heck is he doing?
He just broke up with Clara for what, this?
He doesn't even deserve her.
Hopefully, she'll find someone who actually loves her.
Isaac shows me the text he gets back from Sage.

S: he's a dead man Ill be there in 5

I don't doubt she will. Morgan, Isaac, and I won't try to stop her.
Before we can go stop Brandon, Sage comes in, grabs a pitcher, and hands it to Clara, who is behind her.
Clara looks mad and walks over to Brandon. She dumps it on his head and the girl he was with.
"I thought you actually liked me. I'm so stupid," she says tearing up.
"Who's she?" The girl asks clearly upset.
"His girlfriend. Now ex. Honey, I wouldn't waste your time with him. He's not worth it," she says harshly and runs out.
He tries to follow her, but Isaac and I hold him back.
"You have a girlfriend?" The girl screeches, "Well, this is for her!"
She dumps her drink on him and walks off.
"Clara, wait!" Brandon yells.
"Don't you think you've done enough?" Isaac asks him angry.
We take Brandon back to the hotel.
I stay in his room, so Clara can stay in Morgan's.
We leave tomorrow and Brandon's been able to mess it up.
The plane ride is going to be really awkward.

-Morgan's Pov-

After the bowling alley, we go to an ice cream shop.
Clara piles on the sprinkles while Sage gets mint with chocolate syrup and I get birthday cake.
Then, we go to the karaoke club that we went to the first night here.
We order some food and listen to some singers.
I feel bad for Clara. She really liked him and he just is an idiot. I hope she can get over him.
Sage drags us on stage after a while. She whispers the song to the DJ, but I can't hear.
When the music plays I smile.
️Sage starts us out.

S:
I stay out too late
Got nothing in my brain
That's what people say, mmm-mmm
That's what people say, mmm-mmm

M:
I go on too many dates [chuckle]
But I can't make them stay
At least that's what people say, mmm-mmm
That's what people say, mmm-mmm

C:
But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music
In my mind
Saying, "It's gonna be alright."

All:
Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off

S:
I never miss a beat
I'm lightning on my feet
And that's what they don't see, mmm-mmm
That's what they don't see, mmm-mmm

M:
I'm dancing on my own (dancing on my own)
I make the moves up as I go (moves up as I go)
And that's what they don't know, mmm-mmm
That's what they don't know, mmm-mmm

C:
But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop grooving
It's like I got this music
In my mind
Saying, "It's gonna be alright."

All:
Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off

M:
Shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off

S:
Hey, hey, hey
Just think while you've been getting down and out about the liars and the dirty, dirty cheats of the world,
You could've been getting down to this sick beat.

C:
My ex-man brought his new girlfriend
She's like "Oh, my god!" but I'm just gonna shake.
And to the fella over there with the hella good hair
Won't you come on over, baby? We can shake, shake, shake

S:
Yeah ohhh

All:
Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate (haters gonna hate)
I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break (mmmm)
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake (and fake, and fake, and fake)
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off

M & C:
Shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off

S & C:
Shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off

Shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off (you've got to),
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off,
I, I, I shake it off, I shake it off

Clara looks a lot happier after that.
I had fun and so did Sage.
I miss when we could do this anytime we wanted.
Now we have homework, responsibilities, and missions.
Especially Sage. She runs the team and keeps everything running smoothly at home.
I'm surprised she hasn't lost control yet.
Her powers are dangerous and she controls them with her emotions.
We leave the karaoke club at about midnight.
I check my phone and see a message from Garrick.
It says he's staying with Brandon so Clara can stay with me.
He's so sweet!
I remember when he wasn't, but people change.
When Clara and I get in my room we both flop on our bed exhausted.
Before I know it we are asleep...

{Isaac's Pov}

️Sage gets back around midnight.
She looks exhausted, so I let her have the bed.
For once, she doesn't complain.
She lies down and is fast asleep before I even ask her about girls's night.
Then, I fall asleep on the couch.

When I wake up Sage is still sleeping.
She had another nightmare last night. I wish she would tell me. It might help her.
I sit down next to her on the bed and whisper, "Sage sweetheart, wake up. It's time to go back home."
"Five more minutes, Morgan," she mumbles and turns over.
"Sage, we're going to be late," I say and she jumps up.
"I will not be late!" She says.
Wow, that was quick. I forgot she hates to be late or even on time.
She finishes getting ready and packing.
Then, we go downstairs and get a cab.
When we get to the plane Morgan and Clara are already there.
We put our suitcases away and sit down.
Now Clara and Morgan are sitting together and Garrick and Brandon will have to too.
This is going to be a strange plane ride.
At least it's not as long as the one from Paris.
I miss Paris.
Everyone laughed and had a good time.
I ruined it when we got back and Brandon ruined it here.
Soon, they get here and we leave. It's awkward from the start.
Brandon keeps looking at Clara, while she won't look at him.
Morgan and Garrick give each other worried looks.
Sage is still tired, so she falls asleep on my shoulder.
She looks so cute, but she would kill me if I said that out loud.
No one to talk to.
This is going to be a long flight.
