Sage POV
"Oh you're up?!" Shawn exclaimed. I looked around noticing I was at his house while sitting up.
Did this nigga kidnap me?
"I'm so beating your ass." I croaked out as I got the nastiest thunderclap headache. "In your condition? I don't think so." He said chuckling. "Where's Chris?" I asked trying to ignore the pain. "Friend's house, I kind of kidnapped her but it's okay because I'm basically her brother so." He tried justifying and I shook my head.
I laid back down and went to sleep again.
I spent my morning sleeping and then my afternoon eating, Denise came by so yk she gon throw down in the kitchen. Shawn ass cannot cook for shit so if she ain't come by I don't know what I was going to do. "Damn this is like your-" he paused to count. "6th plate."
"How about You try fighting a big ass monkey, being in a mini coma, then come check me." He opened his mouth to give me a response but closed it again. "You right my fault." I scraped my plate clean while walking back to the pot to find it empty. What big back ate the whole damn pot??? Mmm mm mm disappointed in whoever fr.
I placed my plate in the sink and went to go bother Denise. I assumed she was in her room so I went there. I sat on her bed waiting for her to come out of her bathroom.
"Oh-"
"Sage!"
My eyes traveled down her body.
"OHHHHH my fault- um- I- w-" I stuttered
"Stop looking at me!" She shouted turning red and I turned my head away from her also turning red. "What are you doing in here?" She asked so I turned my head back around towards her because naturally when I talk to people I look them in the eye. "I just-" "turn back around!" I turned redder. "Yeah I'm sorry... I- I just wanted to- to... shit I forgot." I stuttered out pitching a tent while trying to cover it with my hands.
It was too big so I just gave up trying and reached for the nearest pillow.
It was silent the only noise being her moving around trying to find clothes. After 10 minutes I felt a dip next to me. "You can look at me now." She said with a breathy laugh and I turned towards her. "Oh, I um..." I said trailing off nervously, that fucked with me so bad I need to get a grip. "You?" I shook my head dismissively. "How are you doing?" I finally asked after racking my brain for anything to say. "I'm good, what about you? How are you feeling?" She put her hand on mine causing my heart to beat faster.
"I- o- good? I don't know. My body hurts type shi." I said and she nodded. "Did the pills i give to you work?" I nodded. "All headaches are gone, only thing that's up there is thoughts." I answered and she nodded. "You ate?" I asked and she nodded. "Yeah, I'm leaving in like 2 hours so I can drop you and your sister off." I shook my head no. When I woke up, I seen bout 50 missed calls from my uncle and 3 from my 'auntie'.
Can't go back there yet they gon be on that bs and I do not have the time for that. "Let me check your hand."
Denise unwrapped gauze then took off the bandage examining it. "Eh, it looks better than it did 2 days ago." She stated tilting her head. "I have a question."
"Okay."
"Back in the ring I saw Shawn about to throw in my towel but he didn't. Do you know why?" I asked and she gave me a small light smile. "I stopped him, you had it I believed in you." She told me going to her bathroom to get something.
Did I really have it though?
"Can I have some of your gummy's?" I asked noticing the cool bag.
Space sweets.
Wonder what that means.
"Go ahead."
"They taste a lil funny."

5:00
I giggled at the tv as me and Dee cuddled. We were watching breadwinners and I don't remember it being this funny at all. I ate another gummy out of her purse. "Wait..." Denise said all do a sudden looking through her purse. "D- You've been eating my edibles this whole time!???? Sage." I laughed.
"That's why they tasted a little funny."
"I thought you were eating my other ones."
"I apologize." I said looking up at her. My head was laying on her stomach while she played in my hair just massaging my scalp. Lowkey felt good asf. "It's fine don't worry about it." Dee told me rubbing the side of my face so I laid my head back down. I got back into the show laughing every other minute. I didn't notice Shawn and Chris coming in so I got kind of spooked when I heard them.
"What's wrong with her?" Shawn asked and I mugged him. "What's nigga you with wrong?" I shot back and he laughed making me frown. I looked up at Denise frowning then back to Shawn. "He's laughing at me." I was about to cry because why is he laughing at me?
"Sage I know you not about to cry." Chris said as tears welled up in my eyes. "She'll be okay, she's just a little high." Dee put in while Shawn was still laughing. "T- this girl said what n-" he didn't even finish because he kept laughing at me.
Tears started dropping and I pushed myself farther into Denise's shirt. She rubbed on my back and told him to get out and shortly after Chris left to. "It's okay." She said rubbing my back and before I knew it I was sleeping.
