Chapter Five
I am in tears sitting in a chair as Jake is pacing back and forth, "This is all my fault."
I looked up at him as it made me feel guilty that he blamed himself, "Jake. It is not your fault."
Trevor stood up and patted his friend on his shoulder, "It is no one's fault."
He looked at me, "Even you Sage. We couldn't have known that he was going to turn like this."
I sobbed as I looked up at them, "I can't lose him." Jake flew in front of me as he kneeled and took my hands into his, "You will not lose him."
He searched my eyes when his phone started to go off, "Fuck, I will be right back."
He got up and walked out of the waiting area to answer his calls.
Tiffany turned her head looking out of the waiting area, "He likes you. A lot."
I shook my head, "Now, is not the time Tiffany."
She tilted her head, "Or is this the best time for it. You need someone beside me and Trevor. He can be that someone."
I rolled my eyes, "Please, Let's focus on getting Tristian better first."
She shook her head as Trevor looked out into the hallway when he threw his hands up, "How long is it going to take them what is wrong?" I shook my head as I placed my head into my hands.
"Hey, Right now is not a good time." I said to Nicole who was one of the girls that have been chasing me for the past six months.
She giggled, "Well, I was at the after party and you wasn't here, so I figured I see what you are up, too."
I placed my hands through my hair, "Listen, You and I was a one-time thing." I gave in after three month of the chase.
She sighed, "Come on Jakie, you know that I was a fun time." She was right she was, but I didn't want her anymore.
She was hot as hell.
God damn model.
Tall with long blonde hair and green eyes. Her body was amazing, but I wasn't interested anymore now that Sage is in my life.
If she called me two days ago then that would be a different story.
I sighed, "I am not into you like that. Plus, I just started seeing someone."
I lied but not lied.
I am not seeing Sage yet, but I wanted to. Damn I wanted to be part of her and Tristian's life.
I wanted to wake up next to her everyday and bring Tristian to the stadium to throw the ball around on the off season then see them in the stand cheering me on during games.
Fuck.
What am I saying?
How am I falling for her and it has been only couple days since I met her and a day since I met her son.
She snorted, "Right, Jake Michaels with one woman. I don't believe it. Just tell me the truth. You are fucking someone right now."
I shook my head as my hand clenched, "Nicole, Please I am not interested in you and that is that. So please don't call me again."
I rolled my eyes as she spit out, "Fine, you missing so fine pussy here."
I watch a man rush into the hospital as that perked my interested.
Why?
Who the fuck is he and why do I feel threaten by him?
Not physical because I could take him down without lifting a finger, but it has something to do with Sage.
I hung up on Nichole when I followed him.
I heard Sage yelled that made me run into the waiting room, "What the fuck are you doing here?"
The man stood there as he placed his hands through his hair, "Sage. I heard that Tristian is in the hospital."
She got up from her chair and threw her hands up, "So, now you care."
I looked at Tiffany and Trevor as they both shrugged their shoulders as I looked at Sage, "He been in and out of the hospital his entire life and this moment that you decided that you want something do with him."
After she said that I knew who exactly it was.
The Deadbeat.
I walked over to Sage as I placed my hands on her hips as she tried to lunged forward as I held her back.
She hit against my chest with her head as I leaned down, "He is not worth it."
She sighed, "Patrick, how did you find us?"
He sighed as he dropped his arm, "I saw something on social media about signups for a bone marrow transplant for Tristian."
She crossed her arms as my hands stayed glued to her not letting her go, "So, you going to find out if you are a match."
He shook his head, "I just wanted to see him."
Sage lifted her nose as she said, "Not happening."
He stepped closer to her as his fist clenched, "He is my son."
I pushed Sage behind me as she looked up confused to what I was going to do, "I don't think now this is the time or the place for this conversation."
He shook his fist to me, "And who the hell are you?"
I took another step closer to him as I looked down when he realized the size of me, "I am her boyfriend. Got problem with it."
Sage opened then closed her mouth then tilted her head when he looked at her, "You are dating this asshole."
She pointed her finger around me as I kept her from getting close to him, "He done more for Tristian than you have in his entire life."
Damn she is a fighter and I like it.
She smirked at him, "You are not even on his birth certificate. You can leave. Have your lawyers get in touch with me when you are ready to help us. His hospital bills are a hefty fees."
I smirked at her as what she was trying to do. She wasn't asking for child support or bug him for his money.
She is letting him realize that she is
mental,
emotional,
physical
and finically stretched out.
He threw his hands up, "If it is money you want, you are not getting it."
She shook her head, "You are missing my point. You can't just send a check and call yourself his father."
He looked up at me as he threw his hands up, "You was always a bitch."
She snickered as I am at my breaking point with this asshole.
He started to walk away when Sage said, "Say hello to Rachael for me."
He turned around to her as he started to towards her in anger, "Don't you dare talk about my wife."
I stepped in his way and pointed to the door, "Leave."
He looked up at me as he squared off, "And if I don't." I could see security running up and grabbed him up, "Security will see that you stay away from them."
I held my hand up to the guys as they stopped pulling him away when I leaned down to his ear as I whispered, "If I ever hear that you placed your hands on her again. I will coming to see you personally."
His eyes widened as he screamed at her, "You fucking bitch. If I could…"
One of the security guard pushed him towards the door, "Sir, I would be careful what you say."
