SAGE

Chapter 9: The beginning of the end

Sage Miller

The drive to my house was spent thinking about what just happened. The guy I spent this afternoon gushing over was Styles. Styles, my sister's ex-boyfriend. He was- he is the Godfather.

-----

How is that even possible. He doesn't fit. And why the fuck was he even in a cartel? Wasn't he rich or some shit?

We barely got a chance to talk. He looked so different in that world than he did when he was with my sister. He looked and acted the part of a mafia boss.

One question is stuck in my head, what now? Can we co-exist when I know he put my sister in danger by dating her?

My heart was beginning to hurt because of all the thinking it's been doing today. It has reached it's limit for the day.

I saw a convenience store and pulled up. I needed something for this migraine. A bottle of vodka would do.

I walked inside and when to the alcohol section. I picked one and took out a few dollars to pay and just as I was about to exit I saw Connor coming in.

He looked so lost and somewhat crazy. I stopped dead in my tracks and looked at him for a moment. I haven't seen or heard from him in a very long.

His mom was worried sick and called almost everyday, sometimes she'd cry. He hasn't picked up her calls all this time.

"Connor." I called out. He was counting the few coins in his hand.

Slowly he lifted his head towards me and I finally saw his full face. I saw how hallow his eyes were. He looked almost crazy and lost weight.

I opened my mouth to say something but he beat me to it.

"Don't you dare pity me." He warned.

"I'm no_" I tried to say but honestly it was hard not to. He looked filthy.

"I can see it in your eyes." He hissed and started to walk away.

"Stop." I said and his shoulders tense further. "Can you talk to me?"

I asked softly, pleading in fact.

"Why?" He still had his back to me.

"Because... I want to know how you've been." I didn't think he could tense even more but he did.

"Why?" He asked again.

"Because you're my friend." I said defeated.

"So you can laugh at how miserable I am with your true friend." He snapped and whipped his head around. His eyes looked crazy.

He stepped forward and I subconsciously stepped back. He let out a humorless laugh.

"I don't want your fake concern or your pity."

"Your mom is worried about you." I said trying to at least make him see reason. I was genuinely worried about him.

His body went rigid and he froze.

"Are you fucking her too. She confides in you now?" He sneered and my eyes went wide.

"What? No." I raised my voice at the accusation. "She's been looking for you everywhere and we are all worried."

"Worried." He scoffed. "She isn't worried. You know I had no problem with her whoring around with her boss or whoever was on her list bit to choose to fuck around with my friend..... " He paused for a second. "Or what I thought was my friend, is unexpected."
