SAGE

Chapter 26

Sage Miller

"She really said that?" I asked. My eyebrows shot up joining my hairline.

"Yeah she did. She said she wanted it big and extravagant. So I'm surprised when you say she doesn't like celebrating her birthday." Wren told me just as surprised.

"Wow." I exclaimed. "Do you know why she hates her birthday?"

I asked Wren.

I don't know what Eve was playing at because what she's doing is bizarre but at the same time its exactly like her, she'll do anything to avoiding her pain.

"No I don't but my guess had to do with Mike's birthday." She said.

Eve and dad share the same birthday month but that isn't the only reason.

We were currently sitting in the kitchen island in her house drinking juice. She asked if she could talk to me.

When she said that I didn't think she wanted is to talk about this. Eve hates her birthday. It's been like that for almost six years.

Wren said Eve is not home. She went out to meet her friend, Victoria. I don't really like her but she's her only friend right now except that fucking Mason.

"Yeah that but do you know on which day dad die?" She shook her head. "He died six day after his birthday, a day before Eve's birthday. A year later Aunt Lauren killed herself on her birthday."

I explained slowly and as the words sank in, Wren's eyes widen in shock.

"That must've been horrible." She said and I nodded and said nothing.

Eve grew up liking big birthday parties while I didn't think much of it. Dad would give her everything she wanted. If she wanted to go to Disney that's what she would get. She was his Princess and he spoiled her and after everything that followed after dad's death I understood why she hated her birthday.

So before Dad died, he had organized a very big party for her. The biggest she has ever had.

When the police came that afternoon and told Clara that dad was hit by a car that afternoon.

Our world came crushing down and it was downhill from there and she started hated birthdays from then.

Imagine starting your birthday with a heart ache of your dead hero and father. It was very hard on her, on me. We were kids, so innocent, we needed dad so much.

"I don't know what she's playing at. I don't think she's over his death. I mean she still doesn't want to visit his grace. She refuses to or even talk about dad yet she wants to do this." I told Wren my tone harsher than I intended. I wasn't aware how angry this got me.

She was pissing me off. She might fool everyone by making them think she's okay and happy but I know her.

I've known her all my life, I know her better than she knows herself. She's faking everything. She's not okay. In fact she's far from it.

At first I thought I'd let her be until she came to me like she always does but now I won't. She needs a wake up call.

And I'm that wake up call.

I said goodbye to Wren with a promise I'd have a talk with Eve.

I had Sebastian drop me off here because I knew I'd be driving back to the house in a Hennessey Venom.

As I walked out and saw it sitting there, waiting for me. Every thought vanish. Every worry evaporated.

I was feeling frantic, unrestrained. The emotion was uncontrollable. My inside were jello.

I slowly walked up to it, like I was trying not to scare it away.

Back in Toronto when Grandma gave it to me, I was excited but it didn't feel real. It was like I'll leave Toronto and leave it behind. It didn't sink in that it was really mine.

But seeing it here, in Miami. It made it feel real. It really sank in that this car, the Hennessey Venom is really mine.

I ran my hand on the paint brushing it. I looked around to see if anyone was watching me.

The best things about this neighborhood is that neighbors aren't as nosey. They mind their own shit, always inside and that the next house is close to quarter of a mile away.

Satisfied that no one was watching my crazed act, I walked around the car, admiring it.

I did a huge fist pump with a bit of a happy dance. I laughed at myself as I realized what I just did.

I couldn't wait to show it to everyone. I couldn't wait to show it off at school. I'll be the only one driving it. I'd be the only kid driving a car that cost more than half a million. Even the teacher don't own such cars.

I got inside then breathed in the fresh smell of new leather and started it. The engine purred seductively and I swear I almost got a boner.

Pure happiness, that's how I'd explain it.

I made sure to connect my phone to my car and search for the perfect song to be played first in my car.

At the moment I was obsessed with Ed Sheeran so I settled for beautiful people.

I swayed a little as I backed out of the driveway.

At the end of the street I saw a yellow Larbogini and immediately realized who it belonged to. With all those custom rims. It only belonged to one person, Smurf.

I'm reminded that she lives a couple of houses away from here.

Not too long another car followed and I knew exactly who it belonged to, her boyfriend.

He didn't recognize me or my car. Not that he had a reason to.

My mood almost turned sour. Almost.

I shook my head to get rid of the thoughts in my head.

I won't let anyone ruin my mood today. I have a new expensive car. I'm happy. That's final.

With that decision, I called Sebastian to tell him to meet me at my house.
