Hidden Fate

Missing Dreams

Sage's POV

I felt his hand move up my thigh and push up under my skirt. His breath pressed against my neck where my mark would be. I could feel our hearts pounding in synchrony. The smell of his scent overfilled my body leaving me weak. I quickly pushed him away so I could see his face.

My eyes darted open. Damn, I had that dream again, and I woke up before it got to the best part. I have dreams about a mysterious man who makes my heart pound more than anyone I've ever met. I've had them since my 16th birthday, and they've been more frequent lately. It's moments like this that I wish my mom was still around. She could tell me what was going on. I miss my dad too, but I don't think I could tell him about these dreams.

Now, I'm just an average, orphaned 18th year old who is determined to make them proud. Thankfully they left me a good house and plenty of money to survive off of until I graduate college. I don't remember us ever being rich, but I guess the millions in my trust was a secret. Because I am 18, I can live at home by myself. They originally thought I would need to live with my distant aunt on my dad's side. That was until they read my dad's will which specifically said I was to never live with my aunt. While I wish I had family, there has to be a good reason my dad doesn't want me to know her.

It was 3 in the morning, and I was wide awake now. Yesterday was the last day of winter break. Unfortunately, I have to go back to school tomorrow, but it is the last 5 months before I graduate. If you had asked me a year ago how I would feel about graduating, I would say I was sad and didn't want to leave. Then again, I had many friends, was a cheerleader, and was dating the quarterback. Then one party that I wasn't invited to expose me to be a major loser that everyone pitied. I wasn't popular. I was the lost puppy who did all the cheerleaders and football team's homework. Daniel wasn't the love of my life. He was using me while f*****g Janie's brains out. I was alone and a loser. I was determined to graduate with honors, go to college, and leave this f*****g place forever.

All I could do now is close my eyes and hope to fall back asleep. I will be fine tomorrow. I will make it through this year. I will.
