And that's really my life. Nightmares every night and playing baseball in the day while struggling to keep my feelings hidden from everyone.

I guess thats as good as it gets.

Right?




Present time

Sage's POV

I took Jordan's advice and started to get ready. I knew Benny was coming over any minute now.

Benny always comes over at 7 a.m. every morning to wake me up. I usually get ready in 15-20 minutes so the rest of the time we just hangout. We head to school around 7:55 since it's starts at 8:15. It's a five minute walk from my house to school.

As I walked towards my bathroom I made the decision to take a shower. So I grabbed a towel and turned on the water. Once I turned to look at myself I the mirror I realized how terrible I actually looked. Jordan was not kidding when he said I look like I just got hit by a hurricane. My hair was in a huge knot and my cheeks had tear stains on them from all the crying.

I brushed my hair out and started to take my clothes off. Once I got in the shower I felt so much better. Like when you walk into a freezing air conditioned house after a long day of playing baseball in 150 degree weather.

After a good 10 minutes I finally got out of the shower. I usually take a lot longer but I only had to wash my body since I washed my hair yesterday. My bathroom was connected to my room so I didn't usually bring my clothes with me. I would just walk out in a towel and put on my clothes in there. I opened the door and walked out.

Once I looked at my bed I screamed. Not because there was a spider or anything like that. I screamed because Benjamin Rodriguez was laying on my bed playing on his phone. Once he heard me scream he jumped and fell right off my bed.

"Jesus Christ what the fuck is wrong with you? Why didn't you knock? I could've been naked for all you know!" I yelled at him not realizing I might aswell be with only the towel around my chest that went down to my middle thigh.

"What is wrong with me? You gave me a literal heart attack!" He yelled back matching my tone. He had a hand on his chest (where his heart would be)  trying to catch his breath. "And I did knock but you didn't answer so I assumed you were still asleep." He said finishing his sentence.

"Why didn't you wait downstairs when you didn't see me in here?" I asked the question still trying to catch my breath.

"Well- I heard the water running and thought I'd just wait in here" he said shrugging his shoulders still catching his breath from his panicked state.
