A SEALS LOVE (Intersex ) ✅

17-Avery

Alan's passing had taken a toll on Sage and it hurts to see him so broken. I never thought that I'd ever see him this way again after his grandfathers passing but I was wrong. Alan had been like an older brother to him and had taken him under his wing when he first began working at SkyRocket before he was diagnosed with cancer and left the gym to Sage. It's been 3 weeks already since Alan's passing and Sage has been dealing with this by burying himself in paper work and school work.

We barely have any time together and it hurts. Every time I want to spend some time with him he's always busy. We haven't ven began our wedding planning because he's so caught up on the gym and school, and I know I shouldn't be angry at him for it but we don't even talk. It's like he completely forgot about me and it hurts. I don't even know how to get him to talk to me. We didn't even have a New Year's Day party due to him wanting to just be home alone.

"What are you thinking about so much?" A familiar voice asked and I sighed pulling g my coat closer to my body to keep warm as I looked down at the cup in my hands, Morgan sat across from me with a raised brow waiting for me to answer and I sighed.

"Nothing and everything if that makes sense" I murmured and he furrowed his brows

"Sage still not spending time with you?" He asked and I nodded, willing the tears that burns my eyes to stay back but no matter how hard I tried, a single one rolled down and I cursed myself for being so weak

"Every time I try to make conversation with him he just turns away or puts his headphones on blocking me. I know that Alan's passing hurts but enough to ignore me? It's been three weeks and all he cares about is the gym and school and I'm happy he loves his new job and that he loves school but he changed. He's no longer interested in Pershing his career as a doctor but as a business man" I said sniffling and wiping the tears away

"Have you thought about giving him space?" He questioned and I gave him a 'what do you think look' which he nodded to "then force him to talk to you Avery. He needs to see what he's doing"

"I've tried everything, the only left to do is tell him that I'm moving back in with my parents" I murmured and he gave me a small smile before standing up and walking to my side and giving me a hug

"Everything will work out, just have patience" he whispered and I nodded

"Come on, let's get to class before the professor thinks we're cutting"

~*~*~*~*~

"When do you think you'll be able to come in and fix the leak?" I heard Sage ask when I walked through the door once I finished classes and I frowned "great I appreciate it"

"Hey" I said and he held a finger up and I sighed  shaking my head I walked down the hall zoning out Sage's phone call and walked into our room. We haven't had a disagreement or fight ever since we've been together but this was just getting ridiculous. He's putting everything before our relationship and he doesn't even see it.

I grabbed my phone and sent my mom a text asking her if I could stay with them for a few and promised to tell her why when I got there. I sat on the door and waited for Sage to get here, which didn't happen for a few minutes, and when he reached our room his phone began ringing again but I was tired. I grabbed it out of his hand before he could answer and rejected the call making him look at me as if had grown a second head

"What the hell?" He asked with a glare that I returned

"I want to talk" I said and he raised a brow

"And that couldn't wait until I was done?" He questions and I clenched my jaw shaking my head

"No because every time I want to talk to you you're always on your phone. I get that your upset and mourning Alan's death but you neglecting our relationship won't bring him back Sage. I know how you feel because I'm hurting too. You don't pay any attention to me and that fucking hurts. You're always taking calls at all hours of the night. I'm happy that you love your job and clases but is it more important than me? Our relationship is hanging on a thin thread Sage," I said and he just stood there staring at me not even saying a word and I felt my chest constrict with pain as my heart cracked,"What happened, Sage? We used to be so close and now we act like complete strangers living under the same roof and that is the worst feeling in the world."
