tainted.

I'm fine.

~ 2 Years Ago ~

Sage's POV

"Sage, what did he do this time?," Rosie is behind me and I don't respond back to her, it was too vivid and I don't want to remember what had just happened last night.

"Please Rosie, I don't want to talk about it," I bury my face in between my knees as I sit on Rosie's hard cold floor.

"You can't keep it in, just tell me, let it out. It will feel better once you let out your feelings."

"No it's not gonna make anything better! It will just make me remember! I want to forget! It was horrifying Rosie!," I cry and my tears fall down to the ground. I sob remembering every moment, everything that he did, the terrible sounds still stuck in my head, me trying to fight back, but I was too weak to escape.

"Sage, please tell me. Are you ok?," she rests her hand on my shoulder trying to comfort me, but I quickly get up from the floor and her hand falls off my shoulder.

"No Rosie! I'm not ok! You don't care anyways! People ask if I'm 'fine' or 'ok' when they know I'm not just so they seem like they care when really they just want to you to respond 'ya, I'm fine' and go back to their fucking lives and forget about me! You don't care! No one does! Stop pretending like you care about me! You got me in this mess anyway, if I never fell off that fucking playground because of you, my dad would've never  died from that car crash, my mom wouldn't have married that son of a bitch, and my step-dad wouldn't have ever drugged me last night!," I scream in her face letting out all my emotions not even realizing what I was saying, I didn't realize I hurt her till she started to tear up.

"You know what, I'm done Sage. I did care about you! I'm sorry about your dad, we talked about this before! I helped you so many times because of your step-dad and this is what I get. Fuck you, I'm going," Rosie took her phone and stomped her way out the door.

"Rosie, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it! Rose, please," I chase after her but she keeps running, farther and farther away. I run out of breath and stop running after her, she's gone.

Rosie's POV

"Let me go!," I try and struggle out of the strangers arms as I kick and scream as loud as I can, hoping someone can hear me.

"Shut your mouth! You're coming with me," he pulls me out of the ally he captured me in and drags me to his truck.

"What are you gonna do to me! Let me go please!," I cry still trying to escape his arms. But I was too weak. He shoves me at the back of his truck and closes the back door shut. I hear his footsteps outside walk to the front of the car. He starts the engine and steps on the gas pedal.

Sage's POV

"Rosie! Rosie! Rose!," I cry out her name as I walk on the sidewalk in the busy side of town.

I turn to the street with the ice cream shop at the corner. We use to always go there after school.

I enter the shop to find the place completely empty with only employees inside.

"Great," I sigh and walk up to the counter. Might as well buy something while I'm here.

"Can I get chocolate ice cream with fudge on top," the lady nods as she types in my order.

Buzz, buzz.

My phone vibrates in my pocket, I look to see who the caller was and realize its Rosie. I quickly answer her call and I hear a familiar voice.

"Your friend is with me, go to my place, or she stays in the back if my truck."

"No, no, no, no, no. This can't be happening. Shit, son of a- UGH," I stomp out of the ice cream shop and run.

Rosie's POV

"She'll be here any minute now, don't worry," he chuckles.

"How do you know she'll come here," I question raising my eyebrow.

"Cause- we got together in this place."

"What the fuck do you mean got together, who the hell are you?," I ask as I try and look through the mask he's wearing.

He rips of his black mask off of his face and looks at me, I still didn't know who it was.

"I'm Aiden," he smirks.

((ooohhh new character, what do you think this Aiden did? and i don't know when i started saying "have a gr8 day, bYe" but it's kind of my thing now so that's all i have for this chapter, have a gr8 day bYe))
