Sage's POV

"I'm sorry that I didn't fight for us. It was my fault, I should've thought about what you were going through. I'm sure you didn't mean to hurt anyone and that was why you ended things," my voice was laced with pain.

He pulled me into his arms, his embrace strong and comforting, and I felt a sense of coming home. "No, Sage," he said, his voice thick with emotion. "I’m the one who should be apologizing. For what I said to you… for making you cry. It was heartless of me."

I stayed in his arms, feeling the steady beat of his heart against my cheek. My own heart was a tangled mess of gratitude and fear. I was so thankful to have him back, to know he hadn't been lying, but the weight of our situation was a heavy one.

He finally pulled away, but his hands stayed on my shoulders, his thumbs rubbing small circles into my skin. He looked at me, a deep sadness in his eyes. "How am I going to tell Pauline? How do I tell her we're... doing this again? It's going to hurt her further.

  • The Coach's Forbidden Play   Chapter 131

    Sage's POV I left Ms. Hawthorne's office with a sense of gratitude and relief washing over me. I had done it. I had used my victory to secure Andrew's future. It was a small step toward making things right, a small way to show him that I cared, that I was fighting for him even when he had shut me out. I felt a sense of purpose, a quiet resolve settling over me. I had faced my demons, I had fought my battles and now, it was time to do the right thing. All of it.I pulled out my phone, my hands trembling slightly as I dialed my parents' number. I hadn't spoken to them since they had cut me off, since they had refused to believe me. A part of me was scared but a larger part of me knew that I couldn't move on with my life until I confronted them and until I told them how I truly felt.The phone rang once, twice and then a man's voice, my father's voice, answered. "Hello?"A wave of emotions washed over me, a mix of anger and relief. "Hi, Dad," I said, my voice thick with emotion. "It's m

    Sage's POV The deafening roar of the crowd faded into the muffled sounds of the locker room. My teammates surrounded me, a chorus of joyous voices chanting my name and their faces a sea of smiles. It was a stark contrast to the hostility I had faced just a few days ago. The victory was a sweet balm to my wounded heart and for a moment, I forgot the pain in my leg, the ache of Andrew's absence, and the sting of Pauline's words."You're amazing, Sage!" someone yelled, her voice filled with a raw, genuine admiration."I knew you could do it! You're the best player on this team!" another teammate chimed in."Rina got what she deserved," a girl named Chloe spat, her voice laced with venom. "She tried to poison our minds about you. She made us believe all those horrible things."A bitter, humorless laugh escaped my lips. I looked at them, my gaze sweeping over their faces, and a wave of sadness washed over me. "No," I said, my voice quiet but firm. "It's not all on her. I don't care about

    Sage's POVMy mind was numb, my body was heavy and I felt a profound sense of emptiness. I wanted to scream, to cry, to lash out but I couldn't. I had no fight left in me. I was completely broken. I just stood there for a long time, staring at the closed door until the reality of the situation finally sank in. He was gone. He had shut the door on me, and there was nothing I could do to get him back.I turned and walked away, each step of grief. I got in my car and drove home and it was the silent, solitary journey, a mirror of my own emotional state. I unlocked my door and walked inside, the silence of my apartment deafening. I didn't even have the tears or the strength to cry. I just sat there on the couch, the stillness of the room a suffocating blanket. I was so exhausted, so emotionally drained that I couldn't even process my own pain.The next day, I woke up with a quiet resolve. I had lost Andrew. I had lost Pauline. I had lost my way. But I couldn't let it be for nothing. I had

    Sage's POVI sat there, stunned into silence. I had no idea. All this time, I had thought Anastasia was the wronged woman, the victim. But she was the one who had cheated. She was the one who had lied. I felt a wave of sympathy for Pauline, a deep sadness for her pain. I now understood why she was so hurt when I told her that Anastasia was the one who had attacked me. She had been clinging to this perfect image of her mother, and I had shattered it."Pauline just needs some time," Amelia said, her voice soft and sympathetic. "She'll come around. She needs to grieve, to process this. Just give her some space. You two will be okay."I nodded, my heart heavy with a newfound sense of hope and a profound sadness for my friend's pain. "Thank you, Amelia," I said, my voice thick with emotion. "For everything. For telling me. For being so kind."She smiled, a genuine, warm smile that reached her eyes. "Of course. And for the record, I was just trying to look out for my brother. I'm not going

    Sage's POV I sat there, the tears streaming down my face, the ache in my heart a sharp, physical pain. I had lost her. My best friend. My sister. My family. Her words, so cold and full of hatred, echoed in my mind. “You’re the one who keeps ruining my life, just because your life was ruined. Because you don’t have a real family who could give you the attention you crave.”She was wrong, but at that moment, it didn't matter. I had no fight left in me. I was broken, and there was nothing I could do to fix it. I sat in the silent living room, a prisoner of my own grief, until the sun began to set, casting long, distorted shadows on the walls. I had to see him. I had to see Andrew. I needed to know he was okay, to know he was safe. And I needed to apologize. For keeping a secret from him, for putting him in danger, for everything.I drove to his place, the silent, solitary journey a mirror of my own emotional state. My crutches were a constant reminder of the physical and emotional pai

    Sage's POV My heart pounded in my chest, a frantic drumbeat of dread. It was him. Andrew had done it."Is that... is that something he would do?" I asked, my voice a strained whisper, my eyes still fixed on the screen. I knew the answer. I had seen the rage in his eyes.Pauline just stared at the television, her face pale, a haunted look in her eyes. She didn't say anything, but her silence was an answer in itself. A tear slipped down her cheek, and she finally looked at me, her eyes filled with a new kind of pain."Yes," she said, her voice barely audible. "He would."A long, weary sigh escaped my lips. I turned to go back to the kitchen, the weight of the world on my shoulders, but my leg, still weak and aching, gave out. I stumbled, my limp more pronounced than ever, and a sharp gasp of pain escaped my lips.Pauline's head snapped up. She had been so consumed by her own thoughts that she hadn't noticed my limp, but now it was impossible to ignore. Her eyes, filled with a new kind
