Sadie Auburn //Book Four// - Legacies (COMPLETED)

Just Don't Be A Stranger, Okay?

"Where are you going?" Dr Saltzman asks

"I'm going to comfort my best friend." Hope says

***

"I've brought you both here to talk some sense into you." MG tells Lizzie and Dr Saltzman

"Milton." Lizzie says

"Don't Milton me." MG says. "Milton is a name wielded by bullies or my loved ones, and right now, y'all are stuck dangerously in the middle.

"This seems like a private conversation." Dr Saltzman says, standing

"Sit." MG tells him and Dr Saltzman sits back down. "You can't close the school, Dr. Saltzman, because each one of these files is a person. With a life, who needs a home."

"Face facts, MG." Lizzie says. "This school is dangerous for every person in that pile. Every time we solve a problem, another one just pops up."

"Their problems are why they ended up here in the first place." MG says

"To be safe." Dr Saltzman says

"The world is not safe for supernaturals." MG reminds him. "What we have here is a home. A family. You are breaking up the Squad."

"Do you really think that I want to do this?" Dr Saltzman asks. "Caroline and I built this school, for our daughters."

"We've all been through too much. We need a fresh start." Lizzie says

"That is a load of crap." MG syas. "You are running from grief because you don't want to hurt anymore. And in making this decision for all of us, you're doing exactly the thing that you promised Landon you wouldn't. When Josie left, you made some bad decisions. So you'd rather cling onto her than stay here and face a life that's different? So yeah, like I said, load of crap." He says before turning to leave. And then, he stops. He turns back to the two. "Have either of you even seen Sadie since that announcement was made?" He asks and the two are silent. "Proving my point further." He says before leaving the room

"You really want me here?" Sadie whispers as her and Hope stand on the dock with Hope holding onto the urn

"Why wouldn't I?" Hope asks

"Well, it just seems like this is a private moment." Sadie says

Hope gives her a look. "Come on, Sades, you and I have been through way too much together." She reminds her

"Yeah....I know..." Sadie whispers

Hope closes her eyes, takes a deep breath, and then opens her eyes, looking to the lake in front of her. "This place is special to me. It's where I come to think. Cry when I need to. Make out with my boyfriend, who's dead, so don't worry. So are you. I just don't know if you'd think this place is special, too. I'm just trying to make the right decision, Dad. But if I scatter you here and the school shuts down, then we're just gonna be ripped apart again, so I don't know. You could give me a sign or something."

"Sorry to interrupt." Landon's voice says from behind

"Sorry for sending you on a fool's errand." Hope whispers. "No luck?"

"I think you should come and see for yourself." Landon tells her, putting his hand out

Hope looks to Sadie. "I'll catch up with you later." Sadie whispers and Hope nods before grabbing Landon's hand and leaving

Sadie sits down on the dock, staring out at the lake in front of her

"I'm sorry." Sadie hears a voice say behind her
