GAGE

18| f l i g h t

A/N: Sometimes I have a vision of a character and then an author puts a picture and it totally ruins everything so I hope this image of Gage doesn't do that for anyone. This picture makes me cry inside and I'm done now so bye!

Update: I took the picture down lol actually bye now

When I wake up, I can't tell the time of day due to the lack of light in my bedroom which I somehow ended up in.

I feel light stroking on my hair and my head rests on a hard tattooed chest.

I can hear the heartbeat beneath my head and I mentally count it while tracing the ink.

My eyes flutter closed because of the calming sensation that Gage's chest brings me when it heaves.

Moments later, I turn my head to the other side and open my eyes, seeing Gage staring at the ceiling with a cigarette hanging from his mouth.

I notice bruises on this side of his chest from whatever happened to him yesterday. Or was that two days ago?

I don't really remember much right now, okay.

My eyes widen when I realize I have class, "Fuck!" I role off of Gage and scramble to find clothes.

Gage's eyes stay on my naked body and he pushes the hair back that has fallen on his forehead.

"Do you know what time if is?" I ask breathlessly.

"Twelve." He simply states.

"Seriously?" I gape.

"No, I'm kidding." He says sarcastically, earning an eye roll from me.

"Great, I missed it. My science teacher is gonna kill me." I drop to the floor and groan.

"I hate my life." I continue complaining.

"So you missed one class. Who gives a shit?" Gage looks at the ceiling again.

I give him an angered expression and walk up to the bed before taking the cigarette from his fingers and pressing the burning bud against the wall.

I listen to it sizzle before saying, "I care. I do. I'm the one that's gonna get fucked in the ass for this. Not you. Me! I miss class all the time and if I miss one more Anatomy & Physiology class this semester, I have to get a tutor to catch up. A fucking tutor." I rant.

"Then don't miss any other classes after today." He shrugs.

I give him an annoyed look and roll my eyes.

"Hey, come here." He looks at me and holds out his arm. I slowly get up and approach him.

As soon as I'm in arms reach of him he slams me into his chest and I close my eyes while his cold hands run circles on my back.

"You care too much." He says into my hair.

"You don't care enough." I huff.

My arms lay on either side of him.

"Maybe I don't, but I think you need a break." He says roughly.

"From what?"

"This." He says bluntly.

"What's this?" I ask, furrowing my eyebrows.

"Nothing. Just trust me."

"So I can trust you now?" I mock.

"Only you, babygirl." He says lowly.

I slide off his chest and curl into side.

"I'm gonna take you somewhere." Gage says quietly.
