Just Friends?

Chapter XXVI

I'm sorry I haven't been writing lately, I've been so busy with field hockey and friends and all the stuff summer brings..I'll try my hardest to keep updating. xx
(This chapter is mostly a flashback from Sammie's POV)
Sammie's POV:
Wren shushed me as I carefully opened my window just enough so I could fit through, I slid my denim covered legs one at a time through the small opening.
Wren slid his hands up them and I giggled.

"Stop," I said between little bursts of laughter, "we're trying to sneak out, not wake up the whole neighborhood with my laugh."

"Oh shush baby girl," he whispered to me, "your laugh could rid the whole world of all bad."

I smiled and continued to slip out of my first story bedroom window. When I was all the way out I reached back in and grabbed my dress that was covered in its plastic protective casing.
We ran to the car laughing. I slid into the passengers side of his Dodge Charger and looked to the man I loved.

"Where are you taking me?" I giggled.

"Somewhere you've always told me you have wanted to go," Wren looked at me for a moment as he said this, his eyes covered in a sexy serious look he knew drove me crazy, "babe, we're going to make some memories you'll never forget."

He paused for a moment to pull my hand up and kiss it, he then returned our hands to the shift.

"Now, go put your dress on, okay?"

"Okay."
I climbed into the backseat and started changing into my pink-champagne, chiffon dress.

"Baby girl, are you almost ready?" Wren called into the backseat where I was.

I called back saying almost and he had a stupid smile on his face because he loved how long it took me to get ready. Wren pulled into a gravel driveway of a large red barn.
He opened the backdoor for me.
I climbed out, my chiffon dress fell to my knees, there were straps that sat on my collarbones to hold the dress up and then separate sleeves fell right below my shoulder. The dress hugged me in all the right places.

"Oh my god." Wren stood there staring at me.

"What?" I frantically searched myself, "is there something wrong?"

"No," he spoke, " you look...beautiful."

I blushed and smiled.
Wren held out his hand and I placed mine into his. He walked me to the entrance to the barn. Soft and slow music drifted from the barn.

"You're taking me dancing?" I asked, stunned.

"Yes baby girl, I am." He smiled.

"But I thought you didn't know how!"

"I've been taking lessons ever since you told me you wanted to go."

Wren blushed, then proceeded to open the barn doors to reveal many dresses spinning to the rhythm of the music.

That night he spun me around the dance floor until my body ached from dancing.

Sage's POV:
Charlie shook me awake, I was sleeping bedside next to Sam in an uncomfortable armchair.

"Sage! She's moving. She's moving," Charlie's voice was shaking and his eyes were welling with tears, a signal brought the doctors in, they all rushed by her side checking vitals and all the necessities.

Her eyes fluttered open, eyelashes like wings of a butterfly that were unveiling themselves for the first time. She looked around the room, confused.

Charlie looked at her, tears streaming down his face, "I missed you baby girl," he smiled and went to reach for her hand.

She ripped it away from him.

"Don't touch me," she warned.
Charlie looked broken. A puzzled look was painted on her face, she looked around at each of the faces and then at the equipment. Her lips parted to let out a single question that had been floating through her mind.

"Who are you?"
