I wake up and hear giggles. I slightly open one of my eyes and I see Conner and Savannah playing with a Nintendo Switch. Most likely Tobin's. I stretch and I get up. I see Tobin sitting at the chair playing on one too. So I'll basically have 3 kids living with me. Ha great!
"Tobin keeps beating us" Conner tells me pouting. Tobin chuckles
"Use boost when you drift" I tell him, and I put my hand in his hair and run through it. I look at Tobin
"When they beat you, you owe me a drink" I tell her. She chuckles and looks at me for a second and back at the screen.
"Doubt it'll happen but Deal!" She tells me and goes back to her switch. I look at Conner's screen.
"Beat her chubs" I tell him, he giggles and nods. Savannah climbs over Conner and climbs on top of me. I hold her in place.
"You gave Conner a nickname, can I have one?" She asks me with cute little eyes.
"Hmm Goldie" I tell her, she perks up. She puts her hand under her chin, in thought.
"What does that mean?" She asks me with curious eyes
"A beautiful girl with blond hair" I tell her, as I tuck back a strand of hair hair. she starts jumping on me a little.
"That's me!" She tells me all giddy. This kids are so energetic. Conner ends up beating Tobin. She was quite upset with herself but she was happy for Conner, she even rubbed it in to Allie. Conner and Savannah change also. So we can head out to breakfast. We head down, and we take the table where Alex is sitting. She's occupied on the phone. Conner and Savannah run up behind Alex, and I walk just behind them to hear something I didnt want to hear. Conner peers over Alex's phone
"Who's servano?" He asks her mispronouncing his name, I stop on my tracks. I walk away as fast as I can. When I'm at the food table, I slightly turn and I see Alex looking for me. I send her a wave, and she sends me a smile. I give a fake one back. Tobin comes down with her crutches. She walks to me, and I already know.. she'll know something's wrong. I try to avoid eye contact with her.
"Hey Sage" she tells me happily, I smile but keep my head down as I add food to the plates for the kids. She seems to linger on.
"You okay?" She asks me concerned, way to go Sage.. blowing your cover. Then again I wouldn't be feeling this way, if Servando wasn't still somehow in Alex's life. Then again... Vanessa, but she's not a friend nor anything to me.
"I'm fine, just exhausted." I tell her trying to convince her finally meeting her eyes. She observes me anyway despite what I told her.
"You aren't but this isn't the place to talk about it. We will talk later" she tells me taking an apple from the table and limping away her crutches to where the kids are sitting.
Tobin PoV
I crutch over to sit next to Alex, who clearly hasn't touched her food because she's so into her phone. So I playfully take her phone.
"Tobin give it back!" She says, I stretch my arm put opposite from her, she becomes more desperate to get her phone back. I lightly push her away. Conner and Savannah laughing about us. I look at the screen for a second. Seeing she was texting Servando.
"Alex, what the fuck!" I whisper to her angrily making sure the kids didn't hear me cursing because I know Sage will scold me for it. Before she could answer me, Sage walks to the table with 3 plates, one on her forearm and the other two in her hands. She gives Conner and Savannah their plates. You can tell she's upset with something. She has blank face, showing no emotion which is odd. I get up angrily, I can't even look at Alex right now.
Sage PoV
Tobin gets up rather quickly and a little mad.
"Hey where are you going" I ask her, she shakes her head and limps away out of the room. I look at Alex
"Was she upset about something?" I ask Alex, but she looked fine 3 mins ago. Alex shrugs, and looks away like nothing happened. She must know.
"Okay then" I tell her, we don't talk at all during breakfast. I'm upset with her but I didn't expect her to not talk to me. I left her at the table, not saying later. The kids must have felt the tension because they didn't say anything either. We're at our room.
"Carli would you like to go shopping with us?" I ask her, she's not one to pass up on that. She grabs her stuff
"Yeah let's go" she says excitedly, Savannah walks along side Carli. They walk out the room while I wait for Conner to come out of the bathroom. When he does, we head down where the girls are waiting. I would have asked Tobin to come with us also but I don't know if she's still upset. We use the rental car, and head out to the closest Sport store. We walk in, and we head to the cleat area.
Tobin PoV
I crutch over to Alex's room, and I knock on it. Julie opens the door, and she let's me in.
"What up Tobs" she greets me, I give her a light smile. I don't hate her for taking Christen back but I am upset at her for it.
"Who was at the door-" Alex comes out of the bathroom as she dries her hair with a towel asking Julie
"Tobin, uh.. " she says getting nervously. She knows why I'm here. We look at Julie and she understands, she nods and walks out the room.
"Does Sage know?" I ask her, if Sage knows that could explain this morning.
"No... she doesn't" Alex tells me, and sits on the bed sighing.
"Why are you talking to him?" I ask her, she better have a good explanation because even though Sage was going to see Vanessa she still told Alex but Alex hasn't told Sage.
Sage PoV
"Thank you mom" Conner and Savannah tell me as they walk with their bags, they each are carrying their newly bought Shingaurds, Cleats, I mean everything they need. The store happened to have some of our jerseys, and they wanted mine but also Carli's and Tobin's. I bought them clothes here because I mean everyday Nike! Most of their new clothes is sporty but they love it. We head back to the car. I wanted to talk to Carli, but I don't want the kids to hear about it.
"Do you mind giving Conner your phone?" I ask her. She shakes her head and gives the phone to Conner, I give mine to Savannah. I grab my headphones out of my pocket and hand them to Savannah. Carli doing the same with Conner.
"Something you want to talk about?" She asks me worried.
"Yeah just.. I mean.. I overheard Conner asking Alex who Servando is. She wouldn't take her eyes off her phone this morning, barely acknowledging me." I tell Carli. As much as I love Carli, I think I made the mistake of telling her. She's like super overprotective of me, it's a like an older sister instinct. Her silence is a sigh of ... probably anger right now.
"Oh she's definitely got something coming from her, I told her to be careful with you. If she ever hurt you, I'd be really upset. Might potentially kick her ass" Carli tells me angrily. She said it loud enough the kids heard her curse. They just gasp and went back to the phones.
"I should just let her go.. so she can be happy with Servando. As much as she says she's happy with me.. she seems more intrested in him" I tell Carli.
