SAGE DIAZ
Ace had to stay there for longer since he missed the last one and i didn't.
I arrive home with sadness in my heart and worry. I see Jean sitting on the couch "Finally your here, I'm bored."
I couldn't control myself any longer or my feelings "Why didn't you tell me?"
Jeans smile disappeared "What?"
"Ace, He has cancer again." Tears started flowing down my face.
Jean stood up "I know." He looked down at the ground.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I shout at him.
He comes closer towards me and holds me in his arms as i break down "I'm sorry." I apologies.
"I'm sorry too Sage." He says as he holds me in the floor.
"I don't want to lose him." I cry in his chest.
His hand brushes through my hair "I don't want to lose him too, But we won't."
I nod my head "He didn't even tell me.." I sniffle "I pulled out a chunk of his hair on accident.
Jean laughs "Me too."
I look at him and furrow my eyebrows "Why were you pulling his hair?"
"Because he stole my blue hat and i gripped onto the middle which i accidentally gripped onto his hair too." Jean tells me, He looks at me "How did you pull his hair?"
"Well.. We were in the office and.. Doing things." I explain to him.
"Yuck gross." Jean shakes his head as he laughs with me.
I wipe my tears away as i hear Aces car pull up in the drive way "Does it look like i've been crying?" I ask Jean.
"Not anymore." He assured me.
Ace walks inside and i give him a hug "Your back, Finally."
"Yeah. I'm really tired." He yawned.
Every time he says he's tired it makes me happy, Because i knew how hard it was to get him tired before.
I tuck him into the bed and lay beside him, He falls asleep and i grab my phone putting in my ear phones scrolling on social media.
I scroll across a video of Aces father talking to paparazzi. fuck. I click the video "Are you proud of your son?" The paparazzi man asked him.
"No, You know why? Because when he was a kid he was weak. I know how weak he is you guys don't." He shrugged as he walked off.
He paparazzi chased him "Can you tell us why?"
"Okay, I'll tell you why. Because when he was a kid he wouldn't even stick up for himself, Well hardly. He would just curl up in a ball while he got his beatings." His father said crossing his arms proud of what he's done.
"Beatings?" The paparazzi man whispered.
"Yeah, He was a bad kid, Deserved it. And i'm not proud of him now for his what ever you call it.. Success because he didn't share with me or ever give his father a cent."
I put my phone down and sigh, I just watch Ace sleep hoping he won't see any videos of his father that's been posted.
I notice Aces arm is shaking and i hope he's just cold and not having a nightmare. His other hand holds onto that arm that's shaking and now his entire body is shaking, I can see the sweat marks on his forehead.
"Ace?" I mumble.
He starts talking in his sleep "Please stop, It hurts."
I nudge Ace "Wake up your having a nightmare."
"Stop. I'm bleeding everywhere, I'm scared." He mumbled as he started shaking his head.
"Ace wake up." I say to him as i nudge his shoulders.
He flickers his eyes open and sits up holding himself, Holding his arm still "It hurts Sage." He whispers to me and himself.
"Where? Where does it hurt?" I ask grabbing his arm, He looks out of it.
"My arm it hurts." He was shaking and scared, I remember this. Hurt filled my heart. He was getting the nightmares again.
I kiss his arm "It was a nightmare." I look in his eyes, He's zoned out and confused.
This happened every time before, Be told me it happened his whole life until shortly after he started sleeping in bed with me, And now it's happening again. He told me he can really feel the pain and fear when he wakes up, That it feels real.
He looked sick and puked all beside the bed "Are you okay?" I pat his back.
"It's just nerves." He shook his head.
I didn't know if he threw up because of the scared or because he was so scared in his dream he threw up, It's happened before.
"I'll run a shower."
"Can you shower with me?" He asked grabbing my hand.
"Of course." I clean up his vomit and when it's done i hold his hand and he follows me to the shower.
"I'm sorry Sage. Fuck." He said under his breathe.
I hold his hand tighter "Don't be sorry. I just want to be here for you." I start taking off his clothes and mine and we walk into the shower.
He coughs "I'm just exhausted." He sits down in the shower and i do too as the warm water splashes onto us.
I kiss the back of his neck "Do you know why the nightmares are back?"
"I don't know, I think it's just stress bringing them back."
"Is it because you don't feel safe?" He shrugs telling me he doesn't know.
"I feel better now." He tells me as i turn off the shower water.
"I think you should try getting more sleep now you feel better, I'll be here if you get another nightmare." I rub his back.
I put on pants and leave him shirtless so he won't get too hot. I look over and see Jean standing at the door curiously and sad like he's a little kid. Ace looks at him and Jean rushes in "Are you okay?"
Ace nods "Yeah it's nothing."
Jean looked at me knowing exactly what was going on, He heard it all.
I tuck Ace into bed. "Can i.. Lay in bed with you?" Jean asks as he stands over Ace.
Ace chuckles "That's weird."
Jean smiles and shakes his head "Please?"
"Fine but only if Sage is in here too."
I get into the bed with Jean and Ace, Jean sleeping right next to Ace and me sleeping right next to Jean.
Ace had already fallen asleep and Jean is still awake, I see a tear fall down from Jeans face as he stares at the roof and holds Aces hand.
