Welcome home Spider-man

Chapter 20:

~Sage's POV~

        There he stands, Kade's face is coated with bruises and dried blood. "What happened?!" "Ask Chance, he's the one who attacked me." I look down at my feet knowing that Chance did this to him because he is my friend. He didn't want the reminder of me around the pack. Maybe he thought I influenced Kade. I look back to him, lower my gun and let him in. "What happened between you two" he ask.

      "He umm lets just say we had a falling out." "You fell in love with someone else didn't you." His eyes weren't judgmental or cold, they were warm and happy.

     "I saw you come in with black eyes and the bruises around your neck. I'm happy he's out of your life now." This small smile creeps on my face. "He's here right now isn't he?" I nod my head and telepathically tell Peter to come inside. He bolts back through the window and practically leaps into bed wrapping the blanket around him.

I turn my attention back to Kade and examine his face. "Back to the matter at hand here, what happened between you and Chance?" His eyes are locked on to Peter like a fresh piece of meat, clearly he knows who he is. "Kade?" His eyes flicker back to meet mine. "Jesus Sage of all the guys you could have had you pick him?!" Confusion starts to make its way into my system. "No wonder Chance is pissed, you're dating Spider-Man!"

       My eyes grow wide at his words. "What are you talking about Kade?" "Oh come on Sage, I'm not some stupid little pup. Lucas told the whole pack that you were supposed to distract Spider-Man. We all know you were the one who saved him when Chance took him. That means he is the only guy who could possibly hide outside your window in his underwear." I feel the lump in my throat grow larger with each and every word he said.

      "A minute ago you were happy that I moved on, now you're upset about who I'm with?!" Kade just stairs at me blankly. "Look I'm sorry for what Chance did to you, I really am. But I will be damned if I apologize for moving on and loving someone else. Someone who treats me right and treats me with respect. After all of these years I think I deserve that. So no I won't apologize for loving Peter."I snap. Kade backs away from me showing that he cowering at my words.

      Guilt appears inside me. It feels like this black cloud over top of me. "You don't need to do that." I say, "I'm not going to hurt you." He just straightens up and looks at me. "Sage."Peter pipes in. I just turn and look at him. "We all know this is going to lead to a fight between us and ur pack. We could use all the help we can get. Sort of like an all hands on deck situation."

      I sigh knowing that Peter is right. "Kade I'm sorry." He nods in acceptance. "Why don't we just call it a night and figure all of this out tomorrow." They both nod and Kade leaves. I on the other hand stand and stair at the door, feeling the dark cloud growing inside me. "He really just couldn't let me go." Peter remains silent but I can still feel his presents behind me. "If it's a war Chance wants, then it is a war he will get."

     "I'm going to see if maybe some how Mr.Stark will help us."says Peter. I shake my head and grip the sheets tighter. "Are you ever going to get out of bed?" I flip him off and listen to him laugh. "Sage?" "Hmm." "Do you really love me?"he ask. Slowly I sit up and look him dead in the eye. "More than you will ever know."

      This smile appears on his face. "You know, through everything we have been through I'm still happy I bumped into you that day." With that he gives me a warm smile and leaves. I feel the warm fuzzy feeling appear on the inside as my mind repeats his words. I'm so caught up in this moment and feeling that I barely hear the door knob turning.

     "Did you forget something?" Silence. "Peter?" I turn around and greeted with a punch in the face. Ugh seriously. Sharon and Koda stand over me. As fast as I can I sweep their legs out from beneath them. They fall, I run. Unfortunately one of them grabs my leg, making me fall. "You bitch!"yells Koda. I lift my other leg and aim for his face. "Yeah and I'm going to send your ass back to prison." I go to run again but I hear the sound of a gun clicking. Damn. Suddenly I feel this heavy chain around my neck. "Looks like you're the one stuck in chains." This isn't good.
