Watching her be humiliated at the party completely sent me over the edge. First I catch her walking the streets alone and now the first party she goes to with me she has been completely humiliated. 

“Saige truth or dare” Collin asks her with a smirk on his face, “dare” she replied so innocently not knowing what’s to come next. “I dare you to take off your bra”. Before she can even defend herself everything turns red after hearing those words. I’m now grabbing her wrist dragging her out of the party and to the car. Collins lucky that I know normally he’s a good person and that he’s just completely plastered after being dared to take five shots of straight vodka while being a light weight. 

I had warned Lucas that Saige and Kam would be coming with us to the party, Kams pretty good at holding her own, which is why I wasn’t to worried about her, but Saige, she’s just so.. naive sometimes. I had told Lucas to keep a close eye on her since I knew Ember would be there in the way of me doing it myself. 

I’ve managed to get Saige in the passenger side of my car but one problem is still following me, Ember. “Kaden, Kaden where are you going, you’re just gonna leave?” She yells in her annoying high pitched tone. “After the stunt you and your friends pulled tonight on Saige, yes I’m leaving” i scoff at her. “Are you serious your mad about what happened in there, this is really about her” she snarls while gesturing to the house the party is being held at. I’m so close to losing it on her she just has no idea. “Yes, Ember! Surprise everything isn’t about you, y’all just completely humiliated her in there. The way you acted towards her was so uncalled for and I warned you the second you threatened her!” I shouted at her causing her to completely throw a tantrum like she’s a toddler. “I’m not doing this with you tonight Ember” I cut her tantrum short, walking to the driver side of my car. 

I put the car in drive and speed down the street, I can somewhat notice Saige is watching the speedometer probably fearing for her life so I slow down just a bit. We approach a stoplight and I can’t help but check on her. “Are you okay I whisper” she doesn’t reply but instead shakes her head, fuck she’s never gonna go out again. I know she says she’s okay but I know how fragile she is, she always has been. 

Flashback 5 years (highschool)

When I was 16, a sophomore in highschool and Saige was 14 as a freshman a rumor had spread that she had never had a boyfriend. This was partially my fault, being that I made sure every guy who liked her stayed far away from her. 

I remember her staying at our house for a few days when the rumor began and I overhead her crying in Kams room. It was that day when I made sure I’d protect her at all cost but from a distance. I went to school the following dah after hearing her cry and made sure the rumor stopped immediately. Everyone in high school feared me for some reason. Maybe it was the tattoos or maybe it was because I truly had no care in the world about anyone there and was fighting every other day. 

The rumors finally stopped completely and Saige most kept to herself, she went her whole high school experience without dating a single guy. 

Flashback Ends

I grew up loving Saige but always showed it through hate which is why I’m not surprised that she hates me now. Saiges older brother Sawyer was a close friend of mine for years but we went our separate ways after he graduated high school a few years before me. When I graduated I moved here to Florida and started studying at Florida State not expecting Saige to do the same. When I found out it wasn’t just Kam moving down here into the beach house but Saige too, I promised myself to continue on my vow to protect her. 

Ember and I have been a off and on fling for a year now, she’s not my girlfriend but she just always seem to be.. around I guess. I don’t do relationships. The way spoke to and about Saige had me contemplating cutting her off completely. 

We arrive at the beach house and she gets out, I follow shortly behind as I tell Lucas to help Kam out and to her room, which he does. She walks to the kitchen grabbing a bottle of water and a snack. I have to apologize for how they acted.. but I hate apologizing. “I’m sorry about what happened at the party” I say trying to remain calm. She just looks at me confused and replies “it’s fine” like nothing even happened. It’s not fine. She needs to know it’s not okay. She starts walking out but before she can I raise my voice a little “Saige! You don’t have to worry about them, it won’t happen again I swear” assuring her that this won’t ever be a issue again. She nods her head acknowledging me before going upstairs. 

She didn’t even care that I was trying to be there for her. Her answers were vague, short and blank. The Saige I knew years ago would be sulking in her room.  

My phone lights up with a text from Drew, a guy who I’ve gone to a few parties with. I unlock my phone and open the message, “your girl isn’t taking you leaving the party early with that other girl very well”with a video of Ember making out with Zack. Are you fucking serious? I don’t do relationships but the terms Ember and I had agreed on is we’d only be seeing each other. I type a message back “he can have her” and press send, locking my phone and shoving it back in my pocket. 

I walk upstairs and have to pass by Saiges room to get to mine. Should I check on her? What if she’s upset? No I just need to give her space and leave her alone. Everyone’s already sleeping, Lucas in the spare room which is basically his, Kam is in her room, Saige just went up to hers and now I open my door, to my room. The walls are a dark shade of grey almost black, I have my bed pushed sideways against the black wall. A desk sits in the left corner with a tv above it. My bathroom is to the right and a shelf against the wall right to my bed. 

I flick the lights on grabbing a change of clothes and heading to the shower. I turn the water to hot and begin washing my hair. Thoughts of Saige are haunting my mind. I get out of the shower putting on a white T-shirt and some grey sweatpants, I dry my hair and then find myself in my bed falling asleep.
