Sorry there are a lot of pov changes in this🤘🏼

Sage.

"Sage! Sage I know you are out here!" Blaise shouted through the woods as i perked up.

"Sage!" Draco shouted "He's gone! Can you please say something!" I heard them grow closer to the tree I was behind.

"Fucks sakes-"

I stood up "Sorry." I mumbled as blaise, Theo and Draco stood In front of me. Blaise let out a huff of air as he grabbed me.

"Come on, can we talk about this once we get to the house?" Draco asked as I nodded before we started walking again. It wasn't long before we turned up at a modern type of house. It had flowers blowing against the wind.

"Unlock it please." I mumbled to Draco who quickly did as I ran in. The fire place stood at the end of the hall which also had a couch. Glass surrounded the house. I needed to get somewhere where someone couldn't fucking see me through the windows.

"Sage!" Draco shouted as I ran through the house trying to find a closet. I found one in the bedroom as bars hung from the ceiling with acrylic shelves as I sat down.

Tears poured and poured. I didn't know what I would do with myself now. See some people would call me dramatic but when the person you loved most in the world and died but came back to life you would be doing the same.

I rocked back and fourth trying to calm myself down. The room was dark, the only light that I could see was the door cracks on the side and under. I wanted to board those up. I wanted to just cry and cry and cry until I was just left in the dark.

He lied to me.

We never lie.

"Sage.." someone said from outside who I recognized it was blaise. "Sage please open the door. Let me be there for you." His voice cracked as my sobs echoed through the dark closet.

"Blaise I can't." I whispered as my lips quivered.

"I hate seeing you in pain. I cant do it. I cant sit here and hear you sob sage I won't do it." I heard sadness in his voice. Like he was crying.

"Blaise. Just give me some time.. please." I wrapped my arms around my legs curling up of the floor.

"Okay." I heard something on the door and the below light was cut off. He's on the other side.

Draco.

It's officially been 6 hours and sage is still in that fucking closet. And I have officially lost my mind. Blaise was at the door for a while but we let theo change places with him so blaise could actually walk around.  

"Come on, she's probably asleep. Let's just open the door and carry her to bed." I whispered as we all stood outside of the door.

"Well what if she's awake and then she screams at us?!" Blaise groaned as he held his head landing on the door.

The handle rustled as we all stepped back. She opened the door. She didn't look sad or anything but she looked, okay? The only thing is that her face is a bit puffy.

"I am going to bed. See you guys in the morning. Also happy Christmas." She beamed as her figure strolled out of the room leaving us three standing in shock.

"What the hell." Theo said chuckling.

Wasn't she just crying her eyes out and not wanting to see us? How is she just perfectly fine now?

Blaise.

I ran out of the room and down to ours. She wasn't okay 5 hours ago? What the hell happened?

"Sage." I said walking in as she changed into her night clothes.

"Blaise." She smiled. Fuck this is weird.

"Please don't build up all of your feelings," I started "you can't do this." I stepped closer as she turned around.

"Blaise, I have had time to think about it and I love you and I can't think about Cedric. I can't cause he now has a new life without me and my life is with you. I told you back in the forest that I wanted you and not him. Yes It did hurt but I can't get hung up on that." She said as my fingers brushed up against her arm comforting her.

"I want my life to be with you too but are you sure that you are okay?" I asked as she smiled.

"Still a little sad but I am better, I promise." She held my cheek as her hand pulled me in for a kiss. I held her back as I pulled away. "I love you." She whispered.

"I love you too." I never noticed how much I could ever love someone as much as sage. Shes perfect and the love of my life. I never thought I would be in Washington with the 3 most important people of my life avoiding an arranged marriage. Funny isn't it?

Now I wanted this ending not with a wedding because all of my other books have that and I am kinda over it lol😫

So anyways I hope you all enjoyed this book, thank you all for the support. I love you all so much.

Go check out my Draco Malfoy professor fanfic that I just started it's called 'a dangerous game'. Love you all.
