Its been exactly 5 weeks since my father tried to murder me, I've been getting many letters from him

In total 6 letters, I feel like I lost myself, Ashley has been the one here for me when I break down crying in the middle of the night

I'm forced to go to therapy because of my 'trauma' I don't trust them. His name is Daniel and I will be honest he seems pretty kind and wants me to feel comfortable but I just don't trust anyone anymore

I became more distant from everyone, especially Dacre. Everyone has visited and messaged me of course but I barely drink I barely smoke or want to even leave my room

"Sage?" Ashley softly knocked on my door peeking inside as I crawled onto my bed holding onto a pillow dad bought me

I didn't answer I just stayed quiet as tears rolled down my face, "Dacre and Arabell are here to see you" Ashley walked up to me messaging my head soothingly

"Tell them I'm sick" I mumbled, "Sage I hate seeing you like this, Your my baby sister and you need someone to talk to" Ashley sniffled as she turned on my lamp

It's been a while since I'd seen light in my room, "I'm letting them in okay" She sobbed making my heart shatter even more than it was.

She smiles and I overhear her talk but couldn't quite figure out what she said, I then heard some soft slow footsteps walk-in

And I knew once they saw me I felt the concern through the room, By the side of my bed there were all the unopen letters from my dad, I didn't want to keep them but I wanted to at the same time

I knew what they were saying, I'm sorry, Forgive me please, My only butterfly, I love you, All that bullshit I don't even believe anymore.

"Sage" Dacre walked in holding a teddy bear while Arabell held roses in her hands, "You haven't come to school in a week we got worried" Arabella spoke softly walking up to my bed

Once again I stayed quiet, I tilted my head and saw Dacre had hair?! Thats new? Ashley was in tears leaning on my door as she watched me sit up

Once I got up they all smiled, I had under bags because I haven't slept at all my eyes were puffy and I was stiff

I couldn't bare touch or affection I just felt completely lost. "You have hair" I softly chuckled smiling at Dacre as he smiled back

"You made her giggle" Ashley smiled softly chuckling "Yea, Um " Dacre stuttered staring down at the ground, "We'll give you a minute" Arabella smiled placing the roses down on my bed

Arabella and Ashley closed the door behind them as they walked out my room shutting it slowly, "I heard what happened, I'm sorry I haven't been around" Dacre sat beside me as I sat up

He wiped the tears off my cheek making me lay my head on his shoulder, He wrapped his arm around me as I sobbed in his arms

I hate how he makes me feel, He makes me feel cared for he fought for me. He got my father's blood on his hands for me

He nearly went to jail for me. "I missed you" I utter wrapping my arms around his waist, "You did? So did I" I sensed his smile

Just that smile made me beam, "Let's go for a ride" He tilted my chin up as I see the excitement in his grin

"Sure I'll just get change" I smiled walking up to my closet, "I don't mind?" Dacre smirked walking up to me "Cover your eyes" I rolled my eyes as he turned around

Sage's Outfit

"You can look now" I rolled my eyes crossing my arms as he turned around, "Hm feels weird seeing you in other colors besides black, Suits you"

"I know it does lets go before I jump back into bed" I rolled my eyes aggressively as we walked out of my room

Ashley's mouth dropped to the ground as she saw me leave my room the first day in basically weeks, "Um we'll be back" I utter as she nods her head having a huge grin on her face

I knew she felt proud made me feel even better but then there was one thing I had to tell him that I knew would shatter him into pieces,

Dacre got on his bike turning it on as I hop behind him wrapping my arms around his waist. We rode to the highway and it felt different

My long black hair was flown away from my face. Everything was quiet as if it was me and him only, I layer my head on his back shutting my eyes as he made tight turns

"Let me take you somewhere" I heard him shout as the wind busted threw our eardrums "Okay!" I shouted back giggling. It took him a while to get to the spot he wanted to go

But once we made it, It felt like a perfect moment. "Follow me" He had a suspicious smirk, It seemed like a garden house at first but the more we dug in the more beautiful it evolved

"Welcome to my safe place" Dacre smiled. My jaw dropped at how beautiful this path was

It was empty just me and him. It felt safe calm and quiet something I've always wished for, "How did you discover this" I curiously asked as we walked side by side 

"My grandma showed me when she was young, And now I come here to get away" His eyes sliced to mine

I glimpsed him straight in the eye, His gaze was different than usual, He took a step closer and I could feel my heart beat going insane

"Sage I L-" "I'm moving"
