Finding Home (bxbxbxb)

8.

AT THE HOSPITAL: (THIRD POV)

"Where are they? Hi Tina, who's this?" Sage asked Tina who shrugged.

"Sage, how are you dear? This is Marcel, my husband. And Sage, when those 3 devils come back here, be good to them. Don't ask them any questions. They might not admit so soon, but they are all falling so hard for you. I don't know how you managed to crack those cold hearts but I just want to say thank you. Just give them time and a chance to explain themselves. They didn't want to leave, but they had no choice, because all they wanted was you to be safe and worry free. I am not speaking on their behalf. I just.." Tina stopped her rambling, but Marcel knew his wife and so he pulled her in a hug and kissed her forehead before looking back at Sage.

"Sage, those 3 bastards are the coldest men on this planet you could say. But when I came here and saw them, they looked lost, and broken and as if life had no meaning in their eyes. You.. You are their light, their hope and goddamn their life. For all I know, I am sure they are busy taking care of whoever did this to you. And if not that, they are trying their best to find that person. But I promise you, they aren't bad as people would tell you or you might hear or read about them. Anyways, will call the doc and let him check you, whilw Tina here will call the boys for you, okay?" Marcel spoke and left before hearing the tiny 'okay' from Sage.

Sage lay in the bed not speaking to anyone, hiding himself in his sheets. He didn't even speak to Jasper whom he had come to like since he saw him first day. All three of them were getting worried. Sage hadn't spoken for hours, nor had eaten or drunk anything.

On the other hand, Tina was continuously calling her stupid friends. And finally when she was about to hung up, Lucien picked up. She took a deep breath and then yelled.

"The hell are you doing, motherfuckers? Sage has woken up and is asking for you three. He hasn't spoken to any of us, refuses to eat or drink or even have his meds until he sees you all. Are you even coming down here or not?" And then she stopped.

"Tina, I wish I could tell you what's happening here. But it's okay. Those two are sleeping. I will be there in 20. Thanks for calling." Lucien said and then hung up without giving a chance for her to ask what had happened.

"I called the brothers. Something's not right. But Lucien's coming down in 20." Tina told Jasper and Marcel who nodded.

"I wonder what happened. Lucien sounded.. sad and broken?" She found herself questioning her own words.

"He is special. Sage is special." Jasper said looking at the closed door.

"Right, I thought it was the last day on earth when I saw their faces this morning. I wonder what will happen from now on." Marcel sighed and this made the other two snap their heads to him.

"What do you mean?" Both asked at the same time.

"The mafia. Up until today, the brothers had nothing to lose. And now they have. That boy is their world and I'm sure you've realised it already. Just imagine the change and shift it will bring. They will become more ruthless now. Because the moment they crack, they'll be done forever. And our enemies will be ready to pounce like hungry wolves." Marcel explained and both Jasper and Tina sighed.

A little while later, Lucien appeared and all three had smiles on their faces.

"We will talk later, but please go in and convince him to eat something." Jasper told him.

"Don't worry, I cooked something for him. I will make sure he eats. Thank you guys. Thank you so much." Lucien said with a genuine smile on his face shocking the three friends.

Lucien's Pov:

The moment I heard from Tina that Sage was up and had refused to eat or drink anything, I got up and boiled some chicken soup along with some fruit salad and juice.
