SAGE'S PROV
I could hear everything around me but I couldn't move and I couldn't open my eyes. I recognised the voice, it said it loved me? Norman? Oh god. I wish I could tell him that I loved him back.
This hurts so much and I now realise that I've made a mistake. I don't need my dad or anyone else in my life aslong as I had Norman. I heard footsteps and a voice
"hey why don't you go outside get some air an a coffee?" The voice it belonged to Rooker. I didn't want Norman to leave, he held my hand and I heard him sigh. He was going to get up how could I tell him not too. I didn't want him to leave me, I started to fight against my unconscious.
I managed to make my hand move a little and I squeezed his hand lightly "Sage?" I heard his voice. "Go get a doctor!" He shouted as my eyes started to flutter open and only be closed tightly from the blinding light.
The doctor rushed in with Rooker on his heels. "Sage can you hear me? Squeeze my hand" the man placed his hand under mine an I squeezed it slowly trying to open my eyes.
"Norman?" I finally managed to speak ignoring the doctor asking me questions "I'm here Sage, I'm here." I smiled at him answered the doctors questions quickly sitting up.
"I'm so sorry Norman. I didn't mean to hurt you. I was being selfish I'm sorry-" he cut me off
"no you weren't your father hurt you and this was the only way you knew how to deal with it. I understand an I forgive you." I nodded as the doctor walked back in to check on me, he took the IV needle out of my hand and I flinched "you should be realised in a couple days" I nodded and Norman thanked him.
I moved over in the bed and patted the spot beside and Norman got up an lay beside me hugging me tightly "I'm sorry Norman" I sighed
"it's okay Sage, I forgive you" he smiled "get some sleep." He laid his head back down.
"please don't leave me Norman. I love you" I said looking at him for his reaction.
"I promise you I'm not going anywhere. I love you." He smiled and I lay my head on his chest and he kissed my forehead and I winch as my head was pounding as I must have banged it "I'm sorry" he said worried
"it's okay just a sore head and I didn't say I didn't like it" I smiled and he smirked at me giving my waist a squeeze. My eyes got heavy and I drifted off to sleep.
I woke up to someone clearing their throat. I opened my eye a little peering to see who it was. "Get out Melissa I want to sleep."
She just huffed and sat down in the chair and I felt Norman chuckle at my annoyance and he goes to get out of the bed to leave us alone but I pull him back moaning "don't leave."
I said grabbing his hand "never" he replied laying back down.
"What's up mel?" I said not looking at her as I was looking at Norman as he closed his eyes again.
"Nothing just wanted to make sure you were okay" I nodded
"I'm fine. Just need Norman by my side to be honest. I was stupid and thought it's what I needed after what my so called dad said but what I really need is Norman." I felt my cheeks heat up as he looked at me.
"and I need you" he kissed me on the lips. My lips were dry but he didn't seem to care.
"Okay well I got home today" Mel interrupted and I looked at her
"what?" I said surprised and caught off guard.
"yeah, I go home today but I'm moving out once the catch Matt." I sighed and nodded and gave her a hug before she left to go to the airport
"love you S, don't do anything I wouldn't." She winked
"love you too Mel." And I flipped her off at her last comment and she giggled as Norman chuckled.
-----------------------------------
I woke up to a doctor entering the room. I sat up and Norman did the same. The doctor asked him to sit on the chair so he could change my bandages. I sighed having to let him go. We have done nothing but be in each others arms for the last couple days.
My eyes widened as I saw what I had done to my arm and I saw Norman look at it an I looked away as he looked at me. I felt horrible and disappointed as I hurt him, a tear fell down my cheek but Norman couldn't see my face.
The doctor looked and asked Norman to leave the room for a minute he nodded and the doctor sat on the bed fixing my arm up after checking the stitches "what's wrong?" He asked
"I've hurt him by doing this but it's the only way in know how to deal with pain. I don't want to hurt him again but I can't promise.." The doctor nodded understanding
"I've looked at your records and I see you lost an unborn child? How are you holding up?" He looked at me concerned.
"it's hard, I don't go a day without thinking about my baby." I sighed at thinking about could have been.
"Don't worrying Sage they will find your ex and justice will be done and then you can have more children with that man who is out in the hall, he loves you." I nodded and started crying a the doctor walked out and Norman walked in seeing me he ran to the bed.
"what's wrong?" He asked worry I'm his eyes.
"I just realised how much i love you" I smiled he smiled back and kissed me.
"now what's the real reason?" I sighed knowing he wouldn't let it go.
"the doctor brought up my baby." He hugged me tighter.
"don't worry, you'll have other children and hopefully with me." I looked at him and gave him a kiss.
A new doctor interrupted us "you can go home now miss" I nodded and got up and Norman grabbed my bag and took me to the waiting room while he signed a form and I was greeted by Lauren, Andy and Jeffery.
"Where's Rooker?" I asked looking around
"he's already back at the house." Norman said wrapping a arm around me and we walked out, there was a couple of people taking pictures of us but Norman put his sunglasses over my eyes so the lights didn't blind me so much and I just giggled getting into the car.
"You owe me a ride on the bike" I said as he got in the driver side
"oh yeah what do I get?" He asked and I looked at him.
"mhm nothing yet" I laughed and he laughed too.
"Get a room guys" Andy said in the back seat and Norman flipped him off and drove.
We approached the big gold gates and Norman punched the code and the gates swung open and he drove up the long drive way. I smiled at the sight and he ran out his side of the car and over to my side and opened the door.
"How about a piggy back just now and I'll take you on my bike in a couple days?"
I grinned and nodded "deal" he smiled turning around and I jumped into his back wrapping my legs around his torso as he held onto my legs.
Andy grabbed the bag and opened the door for us. I hopped of Normans back and walked up stairs and into the bathroom, Norman was on my heels and I sighed as I looked at the now clean bathroom
"Rooker cleaned up" he said behind me grabbing my hand
I nodded "wouldn't be the first time I sighed and walked out an into the room.
"Everyone is downstairs, why don't you put on your swimsuit and come out for a swim?" He asked "you cuts have pretty much healed over and now scarring so your aloud to go swimming" he added .
I nodded and got changed as he did too. I sighed as I grabbed a pair of shorts "no, you don't need them" he said taking them from my hand
"I do. Look at my old scars" I said looking down at my legs.
"everyone knows about everything Sage, you don't have to hide from us. We are here for you." I heard a voice coming from the door it was Melissa and Andy
"how does everyone know?" I asked
"mel" Norman sighed
"I'm going to kill her and okay but if I feel like anyone I staring I'm coming back up stairs." He smiled at me as the two disappeared from the door.
I turned to face Norman but he grabbed my waist and put my over her shoulder. "Norman" I yelled but I was glad things were kinda going back to normal.
I was greeted by my body hitting the freezing water and I held my hand up for Norman to grab. He looked puzzled at me "I want to sunbathe" he nodded and grabbed my hand to help me out and I pulled him in and everyone started laughing as I put my hands around his neck.
"I love you" he said smiling pulling me closer to him.
"I love you" I smiled and kissed him on the lips as I heard some people cheer which made me laugh and break the kiss to look and Norman pulled my chin back to face him and kissed me again.
