Reality

Chapter 3. Finally!

We sleep half the day, not realizing what time it is, or how late it is. I huff, as I turn on my side. The sun is too bright, shinning through my window. "Ugh.." I say, as I get up to close the curtains. "Thanks mom." I mumble as I stagger back to my bed.

Sage moves on her side of the bed. "Sage..." I say as I shake her shoulder. "Leave me alone." She says as she put her head into the pillow. "Calum Thomas Hood, is waiting outside for you, and he said if you don't get up right now, you wont see him again." I tell her as I turn on my other side.

"Shut up, he doesn't even know I exists. It worked once, it's not gonna work again." She says, as she stretches out on my bed. I chuckle as I continue to lay on my side, not bothering to get up.

I hear my bed creak as Sage gets off my bed. She huffs as she stands up, and stretches some more. "Get up, Marie." She demands. I just pull the covers over my head and say "I do what I want, i'm punk rock." She hits me with a pillow and says "You, Marie are not Michael Gordon Clifford. That line does not count for you." She throws another pillow at me, and pulls the covers off of me.

"Whatever." I get up and walk to my bathroom. "There ya go, lazy bones." She says as she grabs a pair of clothes from her bag. Since I already took a shower last night, I just brush my teeth.

"Did you take a shower, Sage?" I ask as I clean off my toothbrush and put it back. "Yeah, before you picked me up." She walks into my bathroom, and turns on the sink. I pat her head, and walk out of the restroom.

I sit down on my bed, with my closet doors open. "I don't know what to wear." I tell Sage as she walks into my room. She walks towards my closet and picks out an outfit for me. "There you go." She says, and grabs her bag of clothes. I walk to my mirror, and look at myself with the clothes in front of me.

This is actually really cute. I think to myself, I admire myself in the mirror. I start to pull down my pajama pants, as Sage says "Whoa you shoudl've warn me. She chuckles, as I shrug my shoulders, and tell her "We're girls, not like we haven't seen anything that we don't have." I pull up my black skinny jeans up, as I smooth out the little creases. I take my Iron Maiden off the hanger, and pull it over my head. I grab my combat boots out of my closet, and put them on.

"Can you give me my beanie, Sage?" I point to my mirror where it's hanging. She grabs it and tosses it to me. I place the beanie on my head, and huff. "What's wrong?"

"I forgot to do my hair."I chuckle as take off my beanie, and sit on my rolling chair. "Don't take to long." Sage tells me. "Shush, I also have to do my make-up." I turn on my curling iron and wait for it to get hot.

By the time i'm done curling my hair, and doing my make-up, Sage is finishing another blow of cereal. "Are you finally done." She tells me, as she begins to drink her milk. I fake laugh at her, and say "Yes, you bitch." I give her a smile and grab my bag, phone, and keys.

I noticed that my mother, and Robert aren't here, so I leave them a note saying 'Sage, and I went to the mall. Be back later. Love, Marie"

"Hurry up, Sage!" I yell, as I grab an apple out of the fruit bowl. "Hurry up, Sage." She mocks me, as she walks the down the stairs. I take a bite of my apple, and walk towards the door.

As she walks out of the house, and closes the door, I give her the keys to lock the door. She hands me the keys back and walks towards the car. "Throwing rocks, at your window." I sing, as I open the car door. "You met me, in your backyard, that night!" Sage sings along with me.

"Michael has such a beautiful voice." I huff as I turn the jeep on. Sage nods her head, as she rolls down her window. She hums along in sync with the music. I love seeing her happy, it kills me to see her sad, she's my best friend, and I will do whatever it takes to make her happy.
