Sadie Auburn //Book One// - Legacies - COMPLETED

I'll Tell You A Story

3rd Person POV

"Heads up!" A voice yells

Sadie looks over from her ab training spot at the boys training in the middle of the room

A ball flies across the gym, passing right in front of Raf and Jed catches it

Sadie stares in shock, sitting up and watching

"That almost took your head off." Jed tells him

"Yo, how long have I been here?" Raf asks, looking around

"For an hour." Jed says. "But you've been going through the motions like a zombie. You sure you're okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." Raf asks. "And, look, you don't need to pretend like you give a crap about me just 'cause I'm your alpha." Raf grabs the ball from him. "The game's back on. Come on."

Sadie walks out of the locker room, having just showered and changed into leggings and a hoodie

She moves her wet hair behind her ear as she walks down the hall

"Sadie!" Hope calls

Sadie turns around and sees Hope coming towards her

"Hey." Sadie says as the two start walking together. "I was heading to the kitchen for food cause I'm starving, do you wanna join?"

"Do you know where Landon is?" Hope asks

Sadie stops and looks at her

"He's not here?" Sadie asks

"No." Hope says. The two start walking again. "When's the last time you saw him? I mean I know you were spelled in your room for a long time yesterday but--"

"Actually, I saw him around midnight." Sadie says. "He danced with me and then said he needed to go and get some air. I thought he just needed some time outside before he went to bed."

"He left a voicemail." Hope says. "But it sounds...off...I don't know how to explain it. Dr Saltzman said not to worry about it but..."

"But that's all you can do?" Sadie pieces together

"Exactly." Hope says

"Well," Sadie starts as the two walk into the kitchen. "Woah." She says, looking around

Lizzie is standing in the middle of the kitchen...baking?

But there was a HUGE mess

"Was there a monster attack in here?" Hope asks, looking around

"There you are." Lizzie says. "I got tired of waiting, so I attempted a banana cream pie by myself."

"Where is it?" Hope asks

"In the garbage." Lizzie says. "I said attempted. So we're gonna go back to plan A, and you are gonna make it for me. Status update: Josie didn't come back last night. I think she slept in Penelope's old room, which is a really good way to get hepatitis B."

"Have you slept at all?" Hope asks. "You seem a little..."

"Focused? Motivated? On point?" Lizzie says

"Sure. Yeah." Hope says

"Not sleeping in the same bedroom means that Twin Forgiveness Cuddle is off the table. But she's been holed up in the library, so a snack offering should do the trick." Lizzie says

"At some point, you might actually have to apologize." Sadie says

"Woah." Lizzie gasps. "Blonde squad is supposed to be on the same side. Never apologize. Trust me, okay? This is what we do. I'm selfish, then she sulks, and then I offer baked goods."
