Double Lives and a Secret

Home Sweet Home

Sage's POV

We've officially arrived home! I'm so excited! I get to see Papa and Mami and their reactions to all of our siblings. We're not actually at our house at the moment, we've just passed the Alberquerque sign, so that means about an hour until we are home!

Except there's something nagging at me, it's always nagging at me. That feeling of hurt. My sister is in pain and we've gotta help her. She has got better in the many hours since we found Tori (AN: look back two chapters ago, Faith is now Tori). She's more alive I guess.

But she's still clutching on to Troy like her life depends on it and I guess at this point in time, she needs him more than ever. She's laughing and smiling, but there's times when you can tell something has entered her mind that she hates. She starts screaming and lashing out.

But in my opinion, I think she's getting better, improving.

Jase and Tori hit it off, which is really good. There's more 18 year olds for Corey, Jase and Sophie to hang with. We're just making sure they don't get into the liquor cabinet, who knows what could go wrong if they did.

Ever since we lowered Gabsy's work load, it's been a lot better for her and Troy. She still try's to do work around the house, but Troy finds something that they can do, like play a game or make-out.

Aaron and I still haven't got together yet and it bugs me. I mean, we are perfect for each other. He was my first kiss and I was kiss, we've been best friends since day one when he met me and Chase. He's been their for me the entire time and I just love him so much. But I want to be traditional and wait for him to ask me out. I like that idea better. A lot better.

"Sage! Can I have a hug?" Aaron asked me, yay he wants a hug from me.

"Of course, A. Come here," I answered for him and opened my arms for him. His arms wrapping around my waist as mine wrapped around his neck.

"Chase isn't being his normal self and neither are you. So I thought that if I could give you a hug, maybe you'll feel better and than he will too. But I don't think he's in pain because of you, I think it's because of Gabs, because of how stressed she is. Are you feeling better Sagey?" Aaron ranted to me, aww he was feeling bad because I wasn't well and neither was Chase. Chase needs him as his best friend and I need him to, in any way.

"Yeah I'm feeling a bit better, A. Don't worry about me. Worry about Chase, your best friend." I told him and he looked down on me after removing his head from my hair.

"I always worry about you Sage, I can't help not worry about you." He told me and I blushed, my cheeks were bright red and I felt all warmed up inside. God, I love this boy.

"Why do you always worry about me?" I asked him searching for an answer, I needed to know if he felt the same as me and from what Chase has told me, he does.

"Because. Because. Ugh why is this so hard to say?" He yelled at himself, I rubbed his bicep, trying to calm him down. A worked up Aaron isn't fun to be around.

"Take your time, Aaron." I told him. "We've got all day."

"I love you!" He shouted and I gasped, jumping into his arms and crying in his neck.

"I love you too!" I shouted back. I felt like screaming and crying with joy. But before the tears could start, Aaron had pressed his lips against mine, cutting off all air. I kissed back passionately, omg I'm kissing Aaron Tate. Eek!

"Coby! You owe me 30 bucks!" I heard Chase scream out to Coby who was sitting next to Beth playing go-fish.

"What! Did it actually happen? You couldn't of waited until you got home to do that?" Coby yelled and walked over to Chase, handing him $30 out of his wallet, before sitting back next to Beth finishing their game.

"You had a bet on us?!?" Aaron and I screamed at the same time.

"Well, yeah." Coby and Chase answered, not fazed by our anger.

"You guys are so annoying!" I yelled, huffing and sitting on the couch.

"Baby, they might be annoying, but they're your brothers! And besides now I can kiss you whenever I want and they can't do a thing about it." Aaron smirked at me, placing his lips on mine, which got a reaction, of course. Hehe. "Be my girlfriend?" He whispered.

"Yes," was all I had to respond with.

Gabriella's POV

Well would you look at that. Aaron and Sage together. Coby lost that bet, but would you look at that, my sister is smiling so hard and she's off in fairytale land. I don't think I'll get to speak to her.

I've been getting better after my panic attack. I've been feeling a lot better and I'm glad Troys there to help me and when I want to do something, he just distracts me by kissing him.

Omg! We're on our street. Like literally. I can see our house. I can see my parents and and and... A girl??? Wait hold up there's my grandfather, so that means that's Skyar. But why are they here now and why is my house looking different? Did Mami and Papa join our houses together and build a mansion in the 3 weeks we've been gone. Didn't know that was possible.

"Come on Ella!" Coby shouted to me and I realised there was only me and asleep Troy in the van. I woke Troy up and he gave me a look, a look meaning I'm here for you. I nodded and than we stepped out of our little home for 3 weeks and I guess, we have to see them... I guess..............
