I let out a sh and help her up to her feet I still can’t believe she is here and standing inis so surreal

We both stand here for ato find Onyx pacing around the living roo as the tears pour out

As much as I want to hold her and tell her that it’s okay, it really isn’t She justto take a while foris She hurtthat she was, and in the worst way possible

"I’m sorry I’m so sorry That’s all I can say You don’t think I wanted to tell you? I did Trust me, I did" Onyx walks over to us and looks between the both of us "I love you both so much," she cries "I never meant to hurt anyone, but you have to understand that Heo I couldn’t put you through what I had to go through That’s all I can say I was going to tell you as soon as I knew things were different for real this time" She sucks in a breath and walks past us "I’ say," I seethe "I trusted you"

She ss hard and fights back , just please don’t hate , I watch as Onyx walks down the hall and disappears into ht now that if I open ret forever

SoI just watch as she walks awayagain

Chapter Fifteen

Hemy

It’s been three weeks since I found out Ash was really Sage and I watched as Onyx walked out of ht of her and missed the shit out of her I have wanted to call her so ive her and I understand why she did it, but the pain is still too fresh As far as I know, she has known about Sage for over a year, over a fucking year How aet about that?

A part of ht away because she was scared of getting hurt again and didn’t know if she’d be able to handle being aroundcontrol, but it hurts like hell I could have had Sage back in et over that as ed in the last feeeks and besides not having Onyx inwith me and I spend most of my time at Mitch’s shop instead of at the club I’ve told the boys I will stay on for two days a week until they can find someone else to take over After that, I will stay and bartend I guess I’et coain and we have actually been spending a lot of tiood stuff though, I’ her of the all the fucked up shit our parents did to us She doesn’t deserve that and I won’t put her through it

I’ve been pacing aroundroo to drown out the da "Shit!"

I’ out another beer when I hear the front door open, so I pull out three beers instead Sage and Stone have been spending a lot of tiether and I need to keep my eye on that slick motherfucker I won’t hesitate to hand hi into the kitchen, instantly spotting the three bottles of beer with a grin "This is why I love you so da out when a brother is thirsty"

I slap him upside the back of the head as he reaches for a beer and pops the top "Where’s Sage?"

He lets out a sigh and quickly takes a drink of his beer He’s hesitant for aa lot She’sme here in twenty" He takes another drink of beer before setting it down and focusing his attention on irl loves you, man I knohat she did hurt you, but you have to look at it froulp of " Maybe I need this

"Alright then The truth hurts, butfro issues You were never really here" He points to his head and looksso them into your sick fucked up world I know you’re not like that anymore, but for someone that experienced it every day for ten years, it’s a little harder to convince You ripped that girl’s heart out and stoht your sister back in hopes that you would be able to meet her one day She just wanted to ht for all of you; not just her, or you, but all three of you You can’t be ood ass wohsomeone say it out loud really opensti tell me She’s the best woh "I’ll never forget that shit"

She’s always done what she felt was best This isn’t any different If I would have gotten Sage back while I was high out of my mind and always fucked up, then I would have probably lost her for good, just like everyone else; her and Onyx Maybe I can’t bla as cautious as she was Maybe, I should be bla Onyx I alas the one to fuck shit up Still as I did one bit I had a lot of shit I was dealing with and I couldn’t handle it without getting out ofthat I’o find her Fuck, I can’t live without her I’ve loved her since the day she attacked irl and it took ht be too late now Fuck"Better late than never, asshole," he says jokingly "Never too late, not when you have the kind of love you two have I have heard it all, , but it’s real, bro Even I can see that"
