Suspicious.

~ Continuation From Part Twenty ~

Third Person POV

"Thanks for walking me home," Rosie says as she climbs up the small stairs to her front door.

"No problem, it's really late, don't want you getting kidnapped again."

"Yeah. Well goodnight," Rosie opens her front door and Connor gets left alone in the dark.

Sage's POV

Knock, knock, knock.

"Rosie! You in there!," it takes awhile for Rose to open the door as she was still in pajama's.

"What?...," Rose rubs her eyes.

"Um hello, school! Get dressed!," I pushed Rose back into her room and shut the door behind me.

***

"Wanna go to that pizza place?," Rose asks quite suspiciously.

"Why? We had pizza yesterday for lunch?," I raise my eyebrow giving her a look, but she asks again anyway.

"We can't have pizza twice in a row?," Rose shrugs her shoulders and smiles.

"Fine, your ordering."

We enter the pizza parlor and sit in our usual spot by the window, except someone else was there. Rose walks up to the counter to order and I tap on the guys shoulder.

"Sage? Um, hey, Where's Rosie?," Connor turns and looks at me suspiciously as well.

"Okay, what is going on here. First Rosie, now you-,"

"What do you mean?," Connor cuts me off.

"Uh, you both are acting dumb and weird. Rose!," I call out her name and turn around and see she is already behind me.

"We have to tell you something," Rose slowly sits next to Connor and I decide to sit opposite of them.

"Okay... What is it?," I hear them both hesitate.

"Connor and I- we um. We're together, now."

"Since when did this happen Rose! When were you gonna tell me!," I couldn't fucking believe my best friend decided to hook up with my ex.

"It just happened yesterday okay! Why are you so upset about it anyway!? I know you guys were a small thing before but I really like him Sage, I really do. Can't you just support me for once, I've helped you through everything and you can't even be happy for me," Rose's voice cracks at the end.

"I'm upset about because I like-!," I almost said it. I almost did.

"You like who!? Connor? You're not over him!"

"No I- ugh, you know what. Forget it, I'm going," I grab my things and leave her house.

***

"Things just never work out for me. My dad died, my mom is gone, I have to live with my shitty step-dad, I've done things I regret. I just don't get it. Why does this fucking happen to me. All because of that one day years ago because of that fucking playground! Why does everyone have their own perfect little lives and I always screw everything up. I'm tired of living in that so called home with my step-dad anymore. I'm tired of always getting wound up in something stupid. I'm tired of losing people. I tried to cut my veins, I tried hanging myself, I overdosed, why haven't I died yet !," I take a deep breath and look at myself in the mirror.

"I'm talking to myself, again," I sigh and put the razor away from my arm and shove it back in the drawer. There's no point anymore.

"I'm going crazy."
