Ending Silence

Chapter 21

Morgan's POV

"Okay, you can all go!" Elijah shouts, causing nearly everyone to let out a sigh of relief now that morning hell was over.

I walk side by side with Luna towards the exit, like everyone else. Marlow and Diego join us, and we're just about to leave when we hear...

"Morgan, I wanna talk" Elijah shouts, and I freeze. "What the fuck did you do?" Marlow whisper yells, nudging my side.

I try to think back on anything I've done that might get me into trouble. Okay, so I opened my window- twice. I went outside through a door I shouldn't have. I'm dating my coach- my god I've done a lot of shit.

What happened to little Morgan who wouldn't dare break the rules?

Jokes of course. She never existed.

"I don't know. Just go on ahead" I mumble. Since we've been standing still for the last ten seconds, we're now some of the last people here.

"Don't die. I can't deal with these two alone" Luna mumbles quietly to me, but the guys obviously heard since they scoff, and shoot her offended looks as they walk away.

I turn around, seeing Elijah walking over to me. "Morgan" He smiles, and I shift on my feet awkwardly. "Can I help you?" I ask, preparing to be told I'm getting killed.

"Follow me," He says instead, grabbing hold of my wrist and dragging me out the door.

I turn my head, my eyes immediately finding Sages. He's standing across the gym, standing with his phone in hand, yet his eyes are on me. He looks just as confused as me, but not even slightly worried. He could get fired if this turns out badly!

I turn my head back, facing forward so I don't accidentally walk into something or someone.

Eventually, the way becomes familiar and I realise we're going to Sage's office.

Damn. Firing him in his own office. Thats cold.

Elijah opens the door, and I see all of Sage's brothers in there, standing or sitting on the couch. They all stop talking when I come in, and when Elijah lets go of my wrist, leaving me standing alone with them all staring, I feel awkward.

Luckily, the door opens, and Sage walks in. He looks around his office but doesn't look surprised. Just confused. That makes two of us.

He closes the door and moves to stand beside me. Silence fills the room. Us waiting for them to speak, but for whatever reason, they expect us to.

"Am I being assassinated or something?" I finally ask after a minute of painfully long silence.

"No" Sage answers simply, and I smile at that. That's always good news to hear on a Friday.

"What's going on then?" I ask, but Sage can't answer that question for me, since he doesn't know either.

"Who is she?" The guy sitting on the right side of the couch, Alex, asks, looking at Sage waiting for an answer. "Morgan" I answer, and he turns his gaze to me.

"What's your relationship to him?" He asks next, realising there's a better bet of his questions getting answered if he asks me.

"Classified," I tell them confidentially.

"Why?" The guy sitting beside him asks, who I know for a fact is called Leo. I know because his whole arm is covered in tattoos. He's the tattoo guy.

"He could potentially get fired," I say, before realising that basically gave it away.

"Fired," The guy standing next to Leo repeats. He's Jay, Sage's oldest brother. Meaning the younger guy beside him is Clayton.

Elijah is sitting on top of Sage's desk, while Ezra isn't here for whatever reason.
