The Friend Zone

Chapter Five

I sat inside my car for what seemed like hours with the coffe shop incident still fresh in my mind untill I finally climbed out of my car and made my way inside.

"Sage, dinner will be ready in 10 minutes,  please come set the table." my stepmother barked as I started my way upstairs.

"Not hungry. Tired. Going to bed. Night." I answered still climbing the stairs.

"Sage Madeline Watertower you come down here and set the table this instant!"

I ignored my stepmother as I drug myself to the bathroom, locked the door, put my phone on shuffle, and ran a hot bath. After 20 minutes of staring at the wall in front of me and replaying today's events in my mind for the hundredth time I finally got out of the tub, dried my hair, threw on a baggy tshirt, black sweatpants and headed to the one place I felt safe. The roof.

I climbed out my window, onto the slanted part of the roof, climbed all the way to the top, and carefully layed on my back gazing up at the stars above.

"I knew you would be up here." a raspy voice spoke from behind me.

"Drew?" I asked searching for any clue of who this person standing in front of me was and sure enough after looking hard enough I could see his beautiful chocolate colored eyes staring into mine.

"Who else knows about this place?" he asked inching closer and only stopping a few inches beside me.

"Just you." I answered breaking our gaze.

"Sage, look I-"

I held up my hand motioning for him to stop. "Don't."

"I got hung up in the moment, it was a fucked up thing for me to do and im sorry!" he said desperately searching my face for any sign of emotion.

"Yeah, I get it." I said returning my gaze back to the stars.

"Sag-"

"Just drop it okay! I don't care that you blew me off just to fuck some girl, and then told her the only reason you were sitting by me was because you felt sorry for me!" I yelled sitting upright in and Indian style position and facing him.

"Sage, look I said I was sorry what more do you want from me?"

"How about some answers! Did you finally catch her? Did you finally get in the pants of the famous Claire Kent? Did you break another girls heart tonight by saying you don't think a relationship could work between the two of you?" I yelled my voice cracking at the end showing my true feelings. Betrayal.

"Actually no I didn't sleep with Claire. In fact I came over here tonight to tell you that I think she's the one. The one who can fix the broken pieces of my fucked up life. I think she's the one who can fix the school's screw up." he yelled as his chocolate eyes burned into mine.

I was just about to enter through my window to leave before I turned to face Drew.

"Just so you know, your not a screw up. Your a great guy Drew. All it takes is the right girl to notice it." I then turned around, climbed through my window and hopped into bed.
