IT'S BEEN A WEEK SINCE THE NIGHT OF THE PART AND ME AND THEO HAVEN'T TALKED SINCE. I dread to get out of my bed but I have to get ready for work. I get in the shower and freeze. It's been like this since the night of the party I would get in the shower and cry. Sometimes I wouldn't know. I've been a wreck ever since theo started to ignore me. I clean myself up and step out of the shower. I go into my closet and pick up my outfit instantly thinking of how I have to see theo.
I hurry and throw on my clothes knowing theo won't come out of his room with me here and I don't want him to be late. I walk out of my room grabbing an apple out of the kitchen and exiting the house. On my way out I hear his door open making my heart sink. I run to my car not wanting to see him come out of the house. I turn on the radio to hear Hopelessly devoted to you. I look over to the passenger side imagining him horribly singing the song. I finally drive off with tears in my eyes. I park in the parking lot of my job and get out. As I walk in I see donuts. Why not? I grab a donut and go to my office. I sit down and log onto my computer and schedule all the things I need to do today. I take a deep breath and look up to see the big ass picture of me and theo.
꧁Flashback꧂ "Okay you ready?" theo says sitting between my legs as I sit on the kitchen counter. "The question is are you ready?" we both laugh and open our emails. My eyes widen and I look at theo "Did you get in?!" "Yea did you?!" "Yes!!!" we both get up and hug each other tightly. "Omg, we have to take a picture of this!" we took a picture and got the idea to make two big ass pictures.
꧁Time skip꧂ "Come on lift it!" theo yelled at me as we try to put the picture on my office wall. "You lift! I did most of the work with the picture in your office!" I yell back as we finally get the picture on the nails. We both fall and laugh.
꧁End of Flashback꧂ I get snapped out of my thoughts by my manager Tom "Sagelynn go home." I look at him confused and say "What do you mean?" "Somethings going on with you and theo and you're not taking it well you've been a wreck." I laugh to hide my emotion and say "I'm fine seriously." he gives me that sympathetic look and I finally agreed to go home. I sit in my car and place my head on the steering wheel and take a deep breath making me break down. I get a notification on my phone from Hermione saying
"Call me as soon as you can." I call Hermione since I'm out of work. "Hello?" "Hey, Lynn I was going to ask if I could stay with you for a little?" "Yea of course what's going on?" "Ron had to go visit Molly and I can't go because I have stuff to do." "Yea I'll come to pick you up." "Ok bye." "Bye." I drive off to Hermione house. I see Hermione in the front waiting. I get out of the car to go give her a hug but she stops and looks at me "Omg Sagelynn you look awful." I feel slightly offended and say "Thanks Hermione I so needed that." she grips my face and wipes under my eyes trying to get rid of my bags. "I'm sorry. Is he still ignoring you?" "Yea..." she grabs my hand and puts me on the passenger side.
She puts her bags in the car and pulls out the parking lot. "Well, that's about to change." I take a deep breath and say "Hermione what are you about to do?" she doesn't make eye contact and keeps her eyes on the road. "We are going out tonight. And tomorrow we can do whatever you want. But tonight he's going to regret ignoring you." I groan loudly sinking into my seat. "Oh shut up. You'll be fine." "You're so demanding." she smiles and says "Thank you!"

"UHHH MIONE WE JUST GOT BACK FROM THE MALL CAN WE WAIT A LITTLE BIT?" I laugh at her pain and say "No your date said we could meet him at 10. Now go put on your dress!" She wobbles to her room and starts to get dressed. I then see theo walk into the kitchen. "Moine what are you doing here?" I look him dead in the eyes and say "Sagelynn." As I point to her room. "Oh. How's Ron?" I take a drink of my mini bottle of wine and say "He's fine. You? Still an asshole?" He takes a deep breath and rubs his temple. "Hermoine." "What it's just a question." I hear my phone ding and I quickly pick it up. "Shit." He looks at my phone and says "What?" "Lynn's date is almost there." He chokes on his drink and says "Date?!" I look at him and smirk. "Yea...her date." He snatches my phone and clenches his jaw. He hands me back my phone and says "I'm better." "Ummm I don't think you can compete with that." He puts down his drink and walks to his room. "I'll be back." I follow him to his room and say "What are you doing?!"
He puts on a different shirt and says "I'm going too." I look at him sideways and say "No you're not!" He comes out of the bathroom with jeans on and pulls up his sleeves. "Yes I am if something goes wrong I need to be there." I scoff at his response and say "Look theo you're like a brother to me but that's your problem you ignore her for a week then when she goes out with another dude you have a problem! This is my first successful try at getting her out of the house! She spent a WEEK in her room moping over YOU because she felt bad! I called her everyday making sure she was okay but all she could tell me was how bad she felt and how it was HER fault, how stupid SHE felt! All she could talk about was YOU! Yes, it was fucking annoying because I wanted to yell at her and say wake the fuck up! Move the hell on! He's ignoring you so the fuck what! But I couldn't because I get it! She went to you for everything! You were the only person who was there when she woke up in the morning! Fuck! You were the first person she talked to in the morning she wouldn't talk, text, or call anyone until she spoke to YOU! You don't understand how much she appreciates you! You're just stuck in this ball of anger because she did ONE thing! And yea I'll admit what she did was fucked up. But you have done WAY worse! You left her when she needed you most! I bet you didn't even know the day you left she planned this big thing to ask you to the yule ball even tho it was a month away! She did it because she knew how much you wanted to ask her first but she couldn't wait she was planning it all fucking year that's all she talked about! When you went missing she went out to find you because she thought something bad happened to you and I know this sounds fucked up but none of us thought about going to find you yea we were worried but we didn't think about finding you! She got detention for a month! Dumbledore stopped professor snape from expelling her! She thought she did something wrong you told her she did! Do you know how much that hurt her?!" "She should've thought about that before she started to suck off Malfoy!" I scoff and say "OMG!" "Hermoine I wasn't thinking." "No! You weren't!" I walk out of the room for him to follow behind me.
He grabs me by the arm and whispers "Hermoine I'm mad because I...I think I love her..." My eyes widen but I start to scold him again. "You have a funny way of showing it." Tears well in his eyes and say "Hermoine I'm serious and I'm scared please I just don't know what to do..." I sigh and say "Don't leave her again." I get out of his grasp and we walk into the kitchen to see Sage sitting on the counter eating pasta. Her face falls when she sees theo. "I-I'm sorry I was hungry..." she places the bowl down and starts to walk off. Theo grabs her arm and yanks her towards him. Their faces are inches apart and they stare into each other's eyes making theo blush like crazy and Sage's eyes start to well with tears. He wipes her tears and points to the food. "Go eat...it was for you anyway..." him saying the last part only loud enough for me and him to hear. I look at him and let out a breathy laugh. As I walk towards my phone he asked "Nothing. Come on we need to get to your date."
As I say date I see theo clench his jaw and look away. Once Sage is done with her food we make our way to the car. Sage and theo were fighting our who should get in the front so they both got in the back. It was so awkward I could feel it from the back seat and it hurt. Theo's ego was way too fucking big and Sage was too scared.

the club
WHEN WE WALK INTO THE CLUB LITERALLY EVERY GUY IS STARING AT SAGELYNN. I swear I can never let her dress herself, she's going to get hurt one day. After a few mins, I can't take it anymore. I take off my jacket and throw it at Sage. "Ow what was that for?" she says in a soft voice. "Put it on." I say not looking at her and taking a swig of my drink. She sighs and puts the jacket on.
I hear Hermione get excited so I look at them to see Hermione telling Sage that her date is waiting for her. She takes a deep breath and starts to walk towards him. I turn around and lean on the counter making sure nothing happened. Hermione sits by me and tries to start up a conversation. "Stop mean-mugging him you're going to scare him away." I sigh out of frustration and say "That's the point he's not good enough for her." She turns to look at me and props her arm on the bar. "How do you know that?" I sighed and looked at her. "He's obviously is a jerk who wants her for her body. When she walked up to him he didn't even look at her face. The first thing he looked at was her boobs then went down. He didn't smile when he saw her he smirked. As he looked at her body he licked his lips acting as if she's a piece of cake. I bet if you look at him right now he's licking his lips and he's not looking at her face. She's fidgeting with her thumbs because she's uncomfortable. She's bending her head down not wanting to face him because of all the sexual compliments he's giving her. He's now lifting her face and she is looking away from him. That's what jerks do. Now I'm going to go get her before she starts crying because of how pushy he's being." She looks at me with a surprised look on her face and I smirk in response. I stop at a distance just to see what he was going to do. He says something then helps her take off her jacket. He grabs her by the waist I expected her to melt into it but she didn't. He tried to kiss her but that's when I lost it. I walked over to them and I take Sage's hand. "Hey what the hell are you doing with my girl." I slowly turn around and scoff at him. "Your girl?" He cracks his knuckles and says "Yea my girl now walk away before you get hurt." I chuckle at his response and say "Funny that you say that because I'm pretty sure she enjoys me way more." I say as everyone starts to gather around. "Ha no she doesn't idoit you can't compete with me." "Really? Okay let's test this theory."
I grab her by her waist and pull into me. I cup the side of her face with four of my fingers in her hair and my thumb rubbing her face. I look into her eyes to see if she wants me to stop but there's no type of rejection. "You prefer me don't you?" Her breath hitched and she looks down. I don't see her fidgeting with her thumbs so I know that I'm not making her uncomfortable. "I'm out of here. I only wanted your body anyway." Tears spilled from her eyes and I let her go. I follow him out the door but I hear a small voice behind me. "Theo don't." I look in her eyes and take a deep breath. Something triggers in my head when I hear the guy exiting the bar say "Fucking slut." I just start moving not knowing what I'm doing and I feel my fist come in contact with his face. The next thing I see is him laying on the ground knocked out cold.
꧁Flashback꧂ "So you're sucking off Malfoy now?" I walk away into my room before she could respond. I hear banging on the door but I ignore it. "Theo please listen." "Just go away Sagelynn please!" I say as I start to put my clothes in a bag. It gets quiet and I hear her say "You're leaving again aren't you...this is what you do. Every time there's a problem you run away you don't even try to fix it." I open the door and look at her with disbelief. "Fix what Sagelynn? You're obviously happy with Malfoy! Yea I do leave. That's what I do. I leave because you're always there to fuck something up!" An angry look forms on her face and she starts to hit me in the chest. "Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you theo! Tell me what did I do to make you leave! It's you it's always you! All I do is for you! I stand up for you at my family dinners shit I even yelled at my dead grandma for you! She was the only person there for me when you left because that's what you always do yet I still chose you what more do you want from me! WHAT?! TELL ME?!" I look away not wanting to meet her gaze. "Just please go away." she scoffs and walks to the door and turns to look at me. "Fuck you, Mattheo Riddle. Father like son. You push away everyone who loves you."
꧁End of Flashback꧂ "I am the problem..." I say as I mumble under my breath. "Theo." Sage says as she stands beside me. "We need to talk..." "Oh okay..."
