💛 Chapter 6 💛

Any spelling errors please ignore

Journee's POV:

I watch the fireflies glow in the night as I sit on the porch with Rosalie. I had just sat down after taking care of the "charming" Sage Rodgers. He can go fuck himself, I'm not interested.

Rosa's been off all day, and every time I ask, she just tells me to drop it.

I wrap an arm around her. "I know you don't wanna tell me what wrong, but I'm always here if you wanna talk." I say. She ignores me, but puts her head on my shoulder and cuddles into me.

I smile contently and let out a small sigh. The sun's sets lower, and the fireflies are more visible now.

"Get up." I say.

"Huh?"

"Just get up!" I laugha and she stands, I do too.

"Come on, let's catch som fireflies." I walk off the porch and se follows me, smiling.

"We haven't done that since we were little and visiting aunt Kayla in the country..." she says and attempts to catch one but fails.

"I know, but it'll be just like then!" I take her hand and we run into one of the hay fields.

She catches a firefly and holds her hand in front of her. "He looks like a Phil." She states and look up at me.

"He does." I look closer at Phil and he flies away, up into the sky.

She takes my arm and pulls me to the ground with her and we lay back in the grass, looking up at the starry night sky.

"This is nice... I wish everyday could be like this." She sighs and cuddles against me, and I cuddle her.

I nod. I really don't want moments like this to end, but it has to end sometime.

....

I was eating at the breakfast bar in the main house when I hear Sage start to stir.

He can't walk yet so last night me and Esme made him a bed on the couch and he slept there. I need to find him something to use as a crutch.

"Hey Doc! Can you get me some breakfa— shit!" He yells and I look past the corner, seeing him try to sit up.

I run over and put my arms under his and pull him up. "Next time, ask me for help getting up. You'll break yourself even more." I run a hand through my still messy hair and realize I'm still in my pj's, shorts and a tank top, no bra, which is when I notice he's staring, but not trying to make it obvious.

I walk him on the head. "My eyes are up here!" I point to my head, then offer him a hand. He's blushing now. "Are you gonna get up or not?" I say.

He takes my hand and grows getting up further, and he leans his weight on me when he stands. I help him over to the kitchen and help him into a chair.

"I just got myself cereal, but what do you want." I lean on the counter and look at him.

"Well, I'd say bacon eggs and toast, but I dont wanna make you even more tired than you need to be with me than you already are, so cereal." He says and smiles annoyingly.

His smile punches me right where I don't want it to punch.

I hate him so much.

"Cereal it is..." I get a bowl from the cupboard and set it in front of him and then get out the only box of Cheerios and place it in front of him.

"You look nice this morning, despite how disheveled you look." He states and I'm not sure if I want to take it as a compliment or an insult.

"I bet you talk to Rosa like that too. I mean, we look the exact same." I get the milk out of the fridge and see him frown a bit.

"I don't talk to her like that..." He says, "and, I can see a lot of differences between you two."

I watch him get his food and I feel confused. "How can you see differences? Sometimes my mom can't even tell us apart." I chuckle a little, trying to keep our conversation light hearted, but he's serious.

"You have more freckles... and lighter eyes. Your hair looks thicker and you look... more insecure, if you don't mind me saying." He says and look up at me as he takes a bite of his cereal.

Wow. And he can get that from me just from a first glance?!

"But, you talk to me like you do Rosalie, right?" I'm starting to wonder if that's why she's been a bit closed off. "All flirty and charming." I smile, but he's still serious.

"She's not the one I broke my leg for..." He smiles that same smile as earlier, and my vagina hurts again.

Okay. This one's a bit shorter, but I still like it. I think I'm not gonna make this a shut book, but there will be hints. Please don't come at me😭😭

Anyways, I hope you liked this chapter!
