-Sage-

Chapter 5

Aubrey's Pov

I feel the morning sunshine on my face, and hear the birds chirping outside. Though my eyes were not open yet I couldn't think of why; my heart is pounding, my mind is racing. All of the sudden I get this adrenaline rush. Then I feel this warmth against my soft skin. This was not a bad warmth, it was comforting and I felt safe. I wanted to know where this comforting warmth was coming from. Therefore I lazily open my eyes and shift my body to the right. I jump a bit at what I see. Sage has his hands wrapped around my waist and has our legs intertwined. I try to squirm out of his grasp but he's too strong and Sage ends up pulling me closer into his chest. I groan, "Sage let go."
Instead of letting go he just nuzzles his face into the crook of my neck. Finally giving up, I just lay there waiting for him to awake. He wakes up about thirty minutes later. I feel him move his hand to my face and place a strand of my black hair behind my ear. A faint red and pinkish color paints my cheeks. He places his hand under my chin and lifts my head up to look at him. "Beautiful", he mummers. He plants a kiss on my forehead, crawls out of bed, and walks out of the room. The warmth I was feeling leaves my body, making me cold. "What is happening to me?", I thought out loud. I sigh and scramble out of bed.                                                                                                                    I look over to the nightstand where my phone lays. I pick it up and examine it. It has cracks all over it, I try turning it on but it doesn't  budge. I suppose it didn't really matter, because my phone was outdated. This gave me an excuse to get another one and maybe Patrick wouldn't be able to contact me this way. Now thinking about it, Sage asked me last night what was going on but I just couldn't bring myself to tell him. If I was to tell him everything about Patrick then that would force me to come clean about my past. I just couldn't bare the thought of him thinking I was a whore and that I'm weak. It just brought up to many horrifying memory's. The pain of those memory's makes my body shiver and I get  nauseous. Trying to keep my mind off of this subject, I go take a warm hot shower.                                                                                                                           I get out of the shower and get ready to go to the iPhone store. Once I get there I end up getting the new iPhone 8 Plus. Soon after, I go to my classes and collect my homework. Once I get home I go straight to my room, I plop down on my bed with my homework. I put one of my earbuds in and listen to IDFC by Blackbear. A little while later I get hungry and get up from my bed. I put my phone in my back pocket and walk out of my room in attempt to retrieve my beloved cereal Fruity Pebbles.
