Sometimes life gets weird. You lose hope, then you'll fall down, but then you'll get back up again. Sage did. So hang in there; it gets better, with time.
A short story.

"I'm telling y'all that's Solana man. Look at them." Mariah turned her phone, showing Sage and Solana in the camera on her Instagram live.
Solana had her leg thrown over his waist while he was trying to go to sleep in between the two of them, and she was playing with his mouth like a weirdo, in his words.
"You my man, Mazari?" She held his chin, and he didn't respond to either of them, keeping his eyes closed. They refused to let him sleep for some odd reason.
When Solana opened his mouth, he reached up to grab her face because he already knew what she was about to try to do, making her and Mariah laugh.
"Man, stay out my mouth ma. Damn. Move." He pulled his head out of her grip after letting her go, rolling his eyes at Mariah's camera that was in his face.
"Say hey." She flipped the view so that he could see himself, and he just blankly stared at his reflection, before looking over at her.
"Turn that off Riah." He mumbled, pulling his arm up to cover his eyes. All she did was chuckled, reading some of the comments being left on her live.
Today was Friday, just three days before Valentines Day and the girls were bored out of their minds. Of course that meant they had to bother Sage until they found something to do.
They had plans to go out with their friends tonight since they hadn't been out in a while, and plus, they were being paid for it. Sage was being dragged along against his will, and it would be his first time at a club.
At first he didn't want to go because he didn't want to be around a bunch of girls, but they informed him that there would be some men in the section too. Hopefully he could make a friend or two, though it was highly unlikely with as closed off as he was.
He only liked for Mariah and Solana to be in his presence. They were the only friends he needed.
"Damn, I ain't think you was gon' add me foreal. You fine as fuck India," She was called by her middle name-the name she used on social media-by a man she'd randomly added to the live after seeing herself as his profile picture.
She thought it was just one of her fan pages, but obviously it wasn't.
"Stop playing with me Mariah." Sage took the phone from her without giving her a chance to speak, and she smiled, watching him kick the man off of her live and block the page afterwards.
"You be so jealous for no reason. Shaking my muthafuckin' head." She did the action that she said while saying it, making Solana humorously snicker.
"Shut up. What is you laughing for?" He turned his head to look at Solana after talking to Mariah, and Solana pretended to zip her lips and throw away the key.
"Sike. You don't run nothin' but this mouth. Speaking of, let me see it." She grabbed his face again, and he rolled his eyes when she pulled his jaw down to open his mouth.
