-SAGE-
" Sage."" No."" Please."" No."" Sage , please." Elliot whines rolling on the floor." No." I whisper hugging my pillow." I need to buy a gift for her." he sobs." Its your girlfriend then go buy it yourself." I huff looking out of the window." But I want you to accompany me." he whines." No." I mumble." Leave me alone." I whisper as he groans." Okay, I'll buy you some candy if you come with me." he says as my ears perk up." Really ?" I ask raising an eyebrow at him." Yeah." he grins." Okay. I'll go." I mumble as he shrieks happily." Ten minutes, I'll wait for you in the car." he yells running out of my room.I sigh changing into a wine-red sweater and black jeans. I wear black heels and put on some makeup . . . just like Sabrina wears hers. I tie my hair neatly into a half updo and puff some perfume on myself.I wasn't happy with what I saw in the mirror eve-SAGE-" Leave me alone." I yell kicking his abdomen.He winces but the exact moment the doors open as I scramble out of the elevator immediately running whichever way my legs took me.I looked back expecting him to be chasing me with his gun but instead, he was standing there smiling at me. He gives me a flying kiss before he turns around walking away." Sage." Elliot runs to me engulfing me in a hug as soon as the mystery man disappears in the crowd." What took you so long ?" he asks." Nothing." I shake my head." Okay. I got a bracelet for Annalise." he says showing me a diamond bracelet." Its good," I whisper rubbing my throat." Can we go now ?" I whisper." Yeah sure." he smiles.The rest of the ride back home was only Elliot speaking and me being silent like always but this time, my mind couldn't focus on his words.Whenever I closed my eyes, he appeared there with his intimidating gaze. His tongu
-SAGE-Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.I gasp in anguish covering my ears with the pillow. The sound was troubling me, the silence was eating me up and I was scared that they might come back." SAGE."I wince hiding under the covers as the door of my room bursts open. Dad walks in with anger written across his face, I sob trying to move away when he grips my hair in a tight grip pulling me out of bed." Daddy." I sob pushing him away when he plants a harsh slap on my cheek." Shut the fuck up, you little garbage. Don't piss me more or else I'll bury you in the backyard right now." he growls dragging me out of the room by my hair." Daddy please leave," I scream, crying so loudly that my throat began to hurt.I just wish he could see the little Sage in me, his little daughter who he gives piggyback rides and played with. I wish he could be the dad he was before so I could place my head on his lap and tell him about the monsters who sca
*Trigger warning - read at your own risk. Parts In Italics Are Her Flashbacks*-SAGE-" Sage."" Leave me alone," I mumble cuddling to my teddy." Sage." Sabrina mumbles." Go and select jewelry for your engagement Sabrina. Stop pestering me." I mumble shifting away from her.Enrique looks up at us with a frown before he goes back to selecting the rings. Everyone was sitting in the living room deciding the rings for their engagement, tomorrow except Shawn who is too upset to participate in any of this right now." Please listen to me Sage." she whispers." Leave me alone Sabrina. Go and select a ring for your fiance. Leave me alone." I snap at her." Sage." she whispers." Leave me alone means leave me alone Sabrina." I grumbled." Enough Sage." Sabrina yells as she stands up glaring at me." I'm trying so hard to talk to you but you're just doing a great job being a stubborn b*tch." she bellows." The
-SAGE-I wince as a burning smell takes over my senses. Rubbing my eyes with the back of my hand, I open them slowly to find myself in a hospital room.Oh shit. I'm alive." Sage."I whimper at his loud voice, he was sitting near the bed with my hand in his. Shawn's eyes were puffy and his face was extremely pale.Guilt hit me like a tsunami. I am the reason he is suffering. If I just wasn't here then probably things would have been better." Shawn." I whisper.He jumps up from his seat and engulfs me into a tight hug. I rub his back slowly as he cries loudly like a baby." I thought you'll leave me . . . just like mumma did." he sobs loudly with hiccups." I . . . sorry." I whisper not knowing what else to say." I would have died if something had happened to you." he sobs." I'm fine now." I mumble as he cups my face, peppering it with small kisses." I nearly died for a moment, Sage." he whispers resting his face on my shoulder
-SAGE-'' Sabrina ?" I gasp when she turns towards me." Oh my God, Sage you're back ?" she smiles." I was so worried for you." she says sadly.I nod at her but the bunch of hickeys on her neck made me lose my sanity . . . again." Not so worried enough to visit me ? But it's alright, I see you're too busy." I let out a little chuckle though my heart was screaming in pain." Why are you being so bitter ?" she snaps angrily." I'm being bitter ? Your little sister was admitted in the hospital and you couldn't take time out to visit her. Instead you were busy fucking Enrique who. . ." I trail off sobbing as she glares at me." First of all, you were in the hospital because of your own deeds. Who told you to slit your fucking wrists, huh ? I did ? No! Secondly, who is Enrique to you that you're crying so much about it ? I just told you yesterday to let him go and move on but your retarded mind doesn't even get that right." she y
-ENRIQUE-" I can't believe how great you two look together." My mother shrieks happily.I sigh, rolling my eyes as Sabrina giggles." Who knew I would get to marry a prince one day." Sabrina smiles." You wouldn't because I was never yours, remember," I whisper to her as her glare hardens on me." But you are now," she mumbles." Whatever, Sabrina." I sigh." I'll go attend some guests." Mom smiles as she walks away from us." Don't ever pull that stunt again, Sabrina," I growl." Which stunt ?" she frowns." What you did last night." I sigh." We'll talk later Enrique," she whispers turning back to the crowd.The hall was dressed heavily, guests were all over the place. Sabrina was sitting beside me in a gown, waiting for me to put a ring up her finger. But my eyes kept waiting for the one I wanted to see.Will she come? No ? Maybe, yes?The atmosphere of the room suddenly changed, I felt too cold all of a sudde
-SAGE-" I can't do this." He mutters as gasps fill in the room immediately." Asshole." Elliot curses under his breathe.I wipe my cheeks looking at Sabrina who had tears in her eyes. It pained me to see my sister being embarrassed in front of so many people." Sabby is crying," I whisper pulling Shawn's shirt." She deserves it. No one forced her to agree to this marriage." Elliot snaps.I ignore him giving Shawn a little pout." She's crying. Go to her." I whisper." No. I'll stay with you," Shawn mumbles wrapping his other arm around me too." She needs you. She's crying. Go." I mumble pushing him again." I'll be back." Shawn sighs walking up to the stage.Elliot wraps an arm around me, leaning my body onto his as I look at Sabrina cry in Shawn's arms.Enrique runs his gaze through the crowd before they fix on me. He fixes me with a hostile expression before he turns towards the crowd." Hey every
-ENRIQUE- My hand itched to slap the motherfucker's brain out as he smirked down at my girl." My candy girl." he winked.What !? Candy girl? I clenched my fists tightly as he leaned down, cupping her face, planting a kiss on her lips. Anger was all I felt at that moment." Dude," Shawn growled pushing him away." Shawn. There's media and guests here." Mr. Martinez growled pulling Shawn away from Hades." Go down. I want all of the kids sitting at a table. Wait for this to wrap up and then we'll talk." he growled smiling at Hades.Shawn glared at Hades holding Sage's hand as he led her down the stage. Sabrina smiled at me, hooking her hand with mine as we followed them.Sage sat beside Shawn hiding her face in his chest when Hades sat on her other side. Sabrina, Elliot and Elena also joined the table smiling at Hades.Elliot had a pained expression on his face as he looked at Hades but Hades was busy smiling at MY girl." I'm S
-ELLIOT- " You are so fucking hot, I can marry you right now." " No, seriously! You look absolutely ravishing." I tell myself in the mirror. God really was in a good mood when he created me. But he was in a fabulous, creative mode when he created Sage. My beautiful baby!I suck in a deep breath, picking up the fresh the bouquet of one-hundred red roses I got for her and the insanely expensive ring. This is it, Elli! Say it to her today or regret it for the rest of your life. Fixing my hair, I walk out of my room with the bouquet and ring. Atlas and Shawn were sitting on the table, eating pretzels while watching a crime documentary. " Hey! Those for me?" Atlas teases immediately as he sees me. " In your dreams," I roll my eyes at him. " Where is my baby?" I look at Shawn as he chuckles. " Your baby is gardening for three hours straight now, she denies to come inside." he shakes his head before going back to watching his pr
-SHAWN- " How are you feeling?" The doctor asks, adjusting the nasal cannula on Sage. " My head feels heavy," she mumbles lowly. Her face pale and tired as she snuggles in the blanket. " Okay, what do you remember about yourself?" he asks, pulling out a notepad. She bites her lips, looking at me and Elliot before she looks away. Tears pool into her eyes as she wipes them away with the back of her hand. " Everything." Wait. . . what? Everything? She gained her memories! Oh my god! She has gained her consciousness. I have to stop myself from crying. " Mmhmm, okay. What is your name?" " Sage Mar. . . Hades Romano. Sage Hades Romano." She whispers, looking around the room again. Is she looking for Hades? " How old are you Sage?" She looks at the doctor confused for a minute before she looks down at her fingers, counting something silently. " Twenty-three I guess." She mumbles. " What is your brother's name, Sage?"
| TRIGGER WARNING | " Please! Please . . . e-enough." Sean stutters, as his head lols to the side." Already? It has just been thirty minutes, I'm sure you can do longer than that." Elliot smirks at him. " Plus Hades hasn't came yet. Aren't you pleasuring him enough?" Shawn adds, as the man in the room break out laughing. " Hades . . . my butthole is ripping apart." Sean cries, as Hades thrusts into him. " I'm trying to be gentle." Hades whispers under his breathe. " You know if he isn't pleasuring enough then you can choose between Sofia and your mother." Elliot rolls his eyes. " No! He is. He is good." Hades blurts out quickly, glancing at his bloodied mother and sister. " Come on! Lets see how much stamina this horny bastard has?" Elliot says, looking at Hades with pure hatred. " He is bleeding!" Hades cries. " She bled too." Shawn says, with a blank expression, not caring about their screams. Hades
" Don't move." Elliot says. Sage giggles shaking her legs. Elliot glares at her playfully, causing her to giggle more. " I quit if you're going to be a naughty customer." Elliot huffs. " S-sorry." Sage stutters, as she stops shaking her legs. Elliot smiles at her as he continues to paint her toes with white polish. She looks at him work, eating the candy he got for her. " Done! Don't smudge them." He says, placing her feet on the pillow before he sits on the bed beside her. " Elli." Sage whispers after a few minutes. " Yes, honey." He hums, typing an email to someone on his phone. " C-can I ask ff-or some-mmthing?" She mumbles as he hums. " Anything, my love. Except for a new boyfriend, I don't think my heart will be able to afford that." He mutters under his breathe. " Can. . . Can we g-go the beach t-tomorrow? I-I. . ." Sage trails off, looking at him with sad eyes. Elliot places his phone away once he notices the s
A harsh sound bounced off the walls of the gym, accompanied with Elliot's harsh breathes. Rage sat in his dark eyes as he kept punching the bag, imagining Atlas' face on it. Shawn walked in with a glass of juice, sipping on it calmly as he watched Elliot. Elliot glanced at Shawn before he went back to bullying the punching bag. Sweat dripped from his face, rolling down his neck and disappearing into the white shirt he had on. His black blazer and tie were thrown on the floor, insulting the money they cost. His hair stuck to his face, drenched in sweat as he lets out an annoyed grunt. " Good day, eh." Shawn says, giving Elliot a bright smile. " Go play with mud, will ya?" Elliot snaps.His ring tone blares out at the moment, saving Shawn from a long lecture. Elliot glares at Shawn, picking up his phone which was also lying on the ground like trash. " What!?" He screams loudly, probably scaring the person on the other side. " Then k
| TRIGGER WARNING | " Great news! The reports came in well. Sage is recovering on a good pace." Atlas announces it to Shawn and Elliot proudly as he rummaged through the papers. They sat in Shawn's study room, discussing about Sage and her situation in private. Shawn didn't like bringing out her condition to his family members or Hades, he didn't want Sage to feel vulnerable in any way which Atlas respected. " But why hasn't she started talking yet?" Elliot asks as he sips on his hot coffee. Sage's condition broke his heart the most. He knew Sage has lost herself, but his heart denied to accept it. He knew the cheerful, bubbly Sage is alive in her and his hopes weren't dying anytime soon for her. " Healing isn't as easy as giving the wound is, it will take time." Atlas says, with a little sigh. " Let me put this into common words. When I was a kid, I had a habit of sucking on my thumb. To make me drop my habit, my mom would
Shawn chewed on his lips, walking back and forth the hall. His arms wrapped around each other, as he kept looking at the door. Elliot strode in the hall, with a little smile on his face. He wore a hoodie with black cargo pants, covering his tattoos. " Hello, Mr. Unicorn." Shawn says, looking at his hoodie which had a unicorn on it." Hey!" Elliot shoots him a bright smile. Shawn eyes the pink paper bag in his hand when Elliot notices it. " Go away evil eye." Elliot mumbles, hugging the bag. " What is in it?" Shawn asks, curiously. " My grandma's ashes." Elliot retorts, slumping down on the chair. Shawn shakes his head, leaning against the wall. " How was today?" Elliot mumbles, looking up at him. " Pretty good, all the examinations are done and blood samples are also taken. Sage was pretty exhausted by the end, but then her therapist came so she's in the session right now." Shawn says, glancing at his watch. " Sorry .
Sometimes the biggest and best things fail to bring happiness to the heart. For Elliot, this moment was his happiness. Sage lying on top of him, examining his tattoos with all her attention. He held her with his strong arms, making sure she didn't hurt herself by falling over. He ran his fingers through her hair, tucking a few strands behind her ear, without even catching her attention. " Remember when I told you that, I'd sell you to any random dude on the street for a sip of water?" He whispers. " I lied." " Remember when I said, I don't love you?" Sage didn't understand him, she didn't even look at him. " I lied." " Aren't you a little too adorable?" he says, gently rubbing his nose against the tip of hers. The door slams open as an angry, bloodied Hades marches in with anger written across his face. His rage immediately doubles when he sees Sage tangled up with Elliot on the bed. Were they fucking each other?
" I can't believe, Martinez mansion hasn't changed even after all these years." Enrique says, sitting on the kitchen counter. " But the people did. This house lost its light the day it lost its children." Josephine sighs. " For Sage." She says, handing Shawn a plate of cinnamon rolls and a piece of cheesecake. " I wonder what I'd do without you," Shawn teases her as he walks out of the kitchen. Enrique grabs a cinnamon roll from the tray, rushing after Shawn. " Shawn, is there anything that can convince you to let me be Sage's therapist?" Enrique says, matching his pace. " Enrique, I'm done talking about that." Shawn snaps, raising an eyebrow at him. Enrique didn't dare to push his luck on the matter, he knew Shawn doesn't joke when it comes to Sage. Unknown to them, Sabrina was already inside the room with Sage. She fed Sage the meatballs she had just made for her, which Sage gladly ate. Sabrina smiled at Sage, caressing her hair as S
