A/N-Time jumps ahead

~EDEN'S POV~
I wake up in the morning to dried tears and arms wrapped around me. The only problem being the arms aren't Sage's. I slowly get up careful not to wake my mom. The girls are already up and they must've let me sleep a bit more. We have school today after all. But what I hear is not them getting ready, but hushed talking.
I creep out of my room and peek around the corner. Kian and Shawn stand there arguing with Marie and Val. I run my eyes and make sure that I'm actually seeing this.
"What the hell is going on?" I ask. They all look at me and go silent.
"We came to explain what was happening. Sage already tried but you didn't believe him." Kian says. The girls try and stop him and get them out but I stop them.
"Fine. Sit down. Let's talk." I say. I sit down on the couch across from the guys. The girls leave. "Go ahead." I say sitting back. Kian starts.
"So the first thing you need to know is that Dominique's brother is in the gang." He says. I feel my mouth open and I quickly shut it. He continues, "He brought Dominique to his house which Sage was not happy about. He avoided her all day even though she kept trying to find him. Sage even got to the point where he was about to kick her out. But before he could kick her out she barged into his office and wouldn't leave." I nod my head. It does sound like something she'd do.
"Then right as you walked in, she pushed herself onto him." Shawn says.
"Wait, how do you two know this?" I ask.
"I was literally in the room, Eden." Shawn says. I must've been to occupied with seeing that to see who was in the room.
"Oh." Is all I can get out. I need to call Sage. I feel like a bitch. Why didn't I trust him? After everything we've been through, I almost let Dominique of all people break us up.
"So, are you not mad at him anymore?" Kian asks.
"No, I'm not. I'm mad, but not at him. I'm mad at that bitch and I'm mad at myself." I say. Kian smiles and claps.
"Well, we should get going." Shawn says dragging Kian out the door. I wave at them and the girls come and hug me.
"Yay! You two are the cutest couple and so perfect for each other! If you two broke up, there's no hope for the rest of us!" Marie says and Val nods.
"So true." Val adds. I laugh at them. "When are you going to talk to him?"
"At school. All I have to do is apologize and kiss him. And also say that I was being a bitch." I say. We all go into my room and get ready. Mom wakes up and goes into the kitchen to make us breakfast. We all get dressed and the girls dress me. I know it's a bad idea but I let it happen anyway. They dress me in a lace bra under a mesh shirt and some jeans. I don't have time to change so I deal with this outfit. We go and quickly eat breakfast before we all throw on our shoes and sling our bags over our shoulders. I grab my keys, huh my mom and we run out to my car.
We all pile in and I start the car and pull out. It's a 10 minute drive and we have 20 minutes. I still have to talk to Sage and we just don't have time. We drive through the streets and when we get to school I park next to Sage's car and get out. I find him at our usual spot and when he sees me he looks sad. I run up to him and kiss him. It catches him off guard and for a moment he doesn't do anything but then he wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me closer to him. He deepens the kiss before pulling away quickly.
