The Act

This time of the year

Sage's POV

It's been 2 weeks since the family dinner. 2 weeks since Xan asked me to be his and 2 weeks since we've spoken. I've never felt the way I'm feeling before but one thing I do know is that I'm beyond pissed.

You can't just ask someone to be your girlfriend then run off like a little bitch.

After we'd returned to his house Xan took me up to his room and kissed me again. We fell asleep shortly after and for the first time in a while I felt content. When I woke up the next morning Xan wasn't there though. He'd left a note saying he needed to get work done at that his leg was fine. I returned back to work myself, thinking we'd talk again later but nope. Nothing. Not a word. 

He hasn't showed up to work once since then. Inconsiderate piece of shit. 

Normally I'd calm myself and say I'm over reacting but I'm ten thousand precent sure that I have all the right in the world to feel how I feel. This is the second time he's pulled some shit like this. If I actually made him uncomfortable or he regretted the kiss, he could've told me. I would've been more than understanding but to go ghost? I have no respect for that at all.

More than anything I'm hurt. I thought that if anything our friendship meant enough to us to reach out to me but nope. Nothing.

On the other hand Leo's reached out about the situation saying that Xan hasn't been him self. Apparently slacking on his work more angry.  

I might've cussed him out.

Well technically I didn't cuss out Leo but he was yelled at seeing that it's not my fault Xan's out of character if he's the one ignoring me. Maybe if he wasn't such a childish bastard he wouldn't be in that predicament.

When I told Niko about it, he was actually ready to fight him telling me how "I should sleep with someone else just to get him upset."

Niko's not the best at giving ideas.

I was hesitant on telling Kassidy about it knowing she'd waste no time planning some shit with Niko , and because of how close her and Xan are. I practically had forced her not to go confront Xan. And it's not because I worry for him,  just simply the fact that he doesn't need to that his childish behavior is bothering me.

I'm not going to reach out , I wont be calling everyday and I definitely am not going to pull up to his house with my friends and act a fool. I've never begged for any mans attention and I will not be starting today.

He's going to learn that this bullshit won't work with me. I expect maturity, if he can't give me that he can't have me.

My phone vibrates showing a text from my older sister and I frown knowing that whatever it said would probably worsen my mood.

Me and my sister Paige we're never that close especially after my father died. There was always an envious relationship that she created with me when we we're younger. Maybe it was because I took away the opportunity of her being the only child, maybe it was because all the attention was no longer on her.

All I know is she hated me growing up.

She cut my hair once when I was 9 saying "I didn't deserve long hair." It took it months to regrow but that isn't even near as bad as some of the things she used to do. My mother of course punished her and protected me yet when she got diagnosed with cancer around when I turned 16, things worsened. I didn't have a father around to defend me neither.
