Chapter (2)

December 1st
Sage's POV

I'm currently wrapping the presents I plan on sending to my grandmas. I recently started working at a cafe so I can have some money. I have begun looking at Cedar in a different way a more than friends way. But I mean who wouldn't he's tall, hot, muscular, and above all kind. Damn I think I love him. Maybe I'll tell him at some point just because it's sitting in the back of my mind. Even if he says no it will still be nice to clear the air. I call my grandmas. "Yes sweetie?" Grandma Betty asks. "Oh I was calling to ask what Grandma Sadie would like." I say my voice excited. "You know her she loves herself a good knife." She says her voice sweet. "Thanks I'll talk to you later I love you!" I exclaim happily. "I love you to sweetie!" She says happily before hanging up. I grab the gifts and load them into my car. "Fuck it's cold!" I shout. I head home and make hot chocolate sitting there lonely and bored. "Fuckin hell. I hope Cedar is having fun at work." I say as I sigh.

December 24th
Sage's POV

"I'm finally ready for the day. I'm excited to confess to Cedar today at the meet up with our friends. Fuck I'm scared too." I say as I get my jacket on. I turn 21 today too. I'm so fucking excited because Grace is taking us all for drinks today. God she is such an amazing friend.
I can officially say I love Cedar. He's always here when I need him. He's perfect. Everyone's there just waiting for me. "Fuck it let's go Sage." I walk to my car starting it hoping it can make it through the snow. I drive for about 20 minutes. The snowstorm is getting worse and I narrowly miss getting hit by another car. "HOLY SHIT!" I shout slamming on the brakes. I continue driving after regaining my composure. I finally arrive at the spot where we are supposed to meet but I see no cars. "Damnit, a no show. Fuckin hell!" I yell to myself tears welling up. I should have just went to my grandmas atleast I wouldn't have been forgotten. "Everyone should be here considering everyone else had four wheel drive. I don't." I say looking around as I park my car. Damn who goes alone on their birthday. I'll probably go to a bar if noone shows. I then notice Grace's jeep and pull up next to it. She texts me "Go to the building at the end of the road with the purple and blue neon sign." I get out of my car and walk to the building stated and enter.

It's a male strip club. I walk in and get immediately flustered as I see the group consisting of Grace, Cedar, and our new friend Jacob. "Hey Sage c'mere!" Grace shouts. I walk over my blush very obvious. "W-Why did you take us h-here?" I say shakily. "Why else dipshit!? So you can finally see some dick!!!" Grace says mockingly.
"A-Alright." I go and order a whiskey on the rocks and take a few drinks loosening up almost immediately. After about an hour and countless lap dances I pull Cedar off to the side. "Cedar I need to tell you something." I say terrified. "What's up Sage?" He says curious.
"I-I l-love y-you!" I say scared of his reaction. "I-im sorry Sage b-but. You're not my type." He says the words absolutely crushing me. "I-I u-understand." I say as I hold back tears and I slowly walk out the club and get in my car locking it. I let the tears flow. "FUCK SAGE!" I shout at myself as I break down crying. "GODDAMNIT!!!!!" I shout again as I punch my dash. "Sage just drive" I say to myself. I drive to my grandmas house going 25 over the limit completely disregarding my safety.

I get there and get out running to knock on the door. Grandma Betty opens the door "Sweetheart are you ok!?!" She says her voice full of concern. "N-no. You know how I mentioned I liked someone?" I ask sadly. "Yes of course how could I forget." She says. "H-he rejected me." I say my voice cracking. She hugs me tight and leads me inside. "It's alright maybe he just doesn't wanna admit it to himself." She says knowingly. "Maybe but can I stay here for the day?" I ask still hugging her tight. "Oh of course I'm sure Sadie will be delighted to see you." She says smiling. "HONEY WE HAVE A VISITOR!" She calls out. "Who is it?" Grandma Sadie says as she comes down the stairs her eyes lighting up as she sees me. "Hey grandma!" I say and smile slightly. I spend the rest of my birthday with my grandmas. I go up to my old room and see a gift sitting on my bed. I open it and it's a knitted blanket that says happy birthday on it. I cover myself up with it and fall asleep but later wake up to a knock on the door at 3 am. I get up, head downstairs, and open the door. "Hey I-I'm sorry." Cedar says. "Come up." I say as I lead him to my room locking the front door. "Sage I didn't know how to respond. I panicked and I said you weren't my type. But in reality. You're all I want." He says tears welling up in his eyes.
"I understand if you're mad bu-" He starts saying before I interrupt him with my lips connecting with his pulling us into a passionate kiss. I pull away leaving a string of saliva connecting our lips.
