CHASING SAPPHIRE🔞

Chapter thirty one: In or out?

~Sapphire~

"Sapph, just get up, you slept all day yesterday up until this morning. Vincent can't possibly have weared you out that much." I groan and shift away from her tapping hands.

"Let me sleep. It's not like there's school or sum" I hear her long deep sigh.

"I'm just tired of seeing you like this, all miserable and stuff and you have band practice you idiot! You've missed like five, your phone's been switched off for weeks. I'm sure it's taking Brian everything in him not to come here."

"Hmm. I'm not going. Just leave. Brian's not on the top of my problem's list at the moment"

"Okay, at least power your phone on"

"Do the honours" I turn around and sleep back. Life is shit when I'm not in bed. I hear the soft click of the door, signifying that she's gone. My phone pings immediately, pings so much, It starts hanging. I wait for all the frenzy to calm down and I go check my messages.

Okay;

72 messages from Brian

31 from Dylan

14 from Missy

10 from mum

3 from Beanie

2 from dad

1 from Vincent.

The shameless me runs to view Vincent's message.

Vince

Hey Sapph. I'm sorry, we'll talk about this when all this goes down. I'll tell you what the 'this' is, just please don't be mad.

I sigh. Oh, Vincent, I'm not mad, just miserable. I go to my dad's

Dad😶

Where the hell are you?!

Beanie🧢

Gurl, what the hell is wrong with you? You got us worried

Come for practice, we got a gig next month.

Your brother's hardly holding up.

I sigh. I don't know if it's just me that knows that something is going on between my brother and Beanie, but something is going on and I'm sure of it. But at least, they're not breaking any rule. I am.

I dread the day Brian's gonna find out about Vincent and I.

I don't even bother reading the rest of his chats after about five

Big bro

Sis

Sis?

Where the hell are you?

I'm not gonna storm into your house like I promised, buh you gotta give me something.

Did I do anything? Did anybody say anything to hurt you?

Dylan

Cowgirl!

It's me your bestfriend

I'm prolly gonna blow up your phone until you reply

Not as much as your brother though. His fingers keep moving on the screen, as fast as it can.
