One Of A Kind
Chapter Twenty-Five
Not Edited
~ Sage Preston's POV ~
Summer and I stood outside the nursery, watching Marilyn as she bottle fed Eric Jr.
"I still cannot believe my best friend and my brother are married" Summer laughed.
"I can't believe anyone even married Eric" I joked.
Eric Jr. really did look like me. Mom brought out old photos of me when I was a baby and honestly, if you showed me a picture of May as a baby and a picture of Eric Jr. I would think Eric Jr. was my twin.
"I'm really surprised nobody has had twins yet" Summer laughed.
"Twins aren't very common"
"Sage. Mom had 2 sets of twins and triplets. Our family is already uncommon"
"I guess that's true" I shrugged.
A few minutes later, Summer changed the topic.
"So... I heard something happened between you and Dad"
"Summer..." I warned her.
"Sage. Come on" Summer rolled her eyes at my tone.
"He tried to disown May-"
"No. Not that problem" Summer sighed.
"You don't think that's a problem?" I shot my eyebrows up.
"Of course it's a problem!" Summer said exasperatedly. "It's just not your problem. You always direct your anger or sadness into a problem that isn't about you. But you need to focus on yourself some of the time"
When I didn't speak, she started up again.
"I can see that something is wrong, Sage. I've always tried to be a person that you could come to about things you're not comfortable talking to May or Mom about. When I was in high school... there were things that I couldn't talk to Eric about. Things that I couldn't talk to Mom about. I needed someone. I had Marilyn. And I just don't think that you have someone like that in your life right now" Summer smiled at me.
"What kind of things?" I tried to steer the conversation away from me.
"Sage. Let's make a deal"
Not another god damn deal...
"I'll tell you a big secret and then you have to tell me what's really wrong" Summer grinned widely and I shrugged. "Pinky promise?"
"Pinky promise" We locked fingers and she giggled.
"You can't tell anyone, okay?" Once I nodded, she continued. "Anthony and I weren't dating"
"What?" I frowned.
"Do you remember when Anthony and I started dating?" She asked and I nodded.
"You guys dated secretly for like a summer"
"No we didn't" Summer bit her lip. "We didn't start dating till the summer after"
"Huh?"
"We pretended to date to get my ex jealous" Summer covered her mouth.
"What ex?" I furrowed my eyebrows.
"I secretly dated Tanner" Summer waved her hand. "But that doesn't matter"
"But... huh?" I frowned. What the hell?
"You can not tell anyone! Only Marilyn and Anthony know" Summer giggled.
