crazy lovers ~ new hype house story

three

it's now afternoon and I'm getting ready to go out with bryce.
i hear a knock on my door and i open it and see mia, jake, paige and tabitha. they walk in and all sit on my bed while i am curling my hair

"what's up?" i say
"what is going on?" mia says
"what do you mean?" i ask
"really sia?" jake says
"fine. if you really want to know, im catching feelings for both of them. and i do have stronger feelings for one of them but I don't want to hurt them. i feel like a complete and stupid a*shole. I shouldn't be allowed to fall in love if all I'm going to do is end up hurting someone in the end. i mean look at my past relationships. i dont even deserve to be loved. and I can't keep hurting jacob and bryce." i say with tears flooding my face.

i try to set the curling iron down but I set it down on my hand. i scream in pain and jump back and end up tripping on my dress taht was laying on the floor. i start sobbing. mia and jake make sure i'm okay and then help me up and hug me. that day i didn't end up going out with Bryce. jake told him what happened and that was that. i tried texting Jake but he wasn't even reading my text. i assumed he was mad at me. i felt so bad. after everything had happened, mia wrapped up my hand and her, jake and i stayed in my room and watched a couple of movies before we all went to sleep. mia and Jake left and I tried to call back asleep but it wasn't working so i watched another movie until I finally fell asleep.

•••

it's now three days later. after everything, me and bryce haven't talked. me and jacob didn't ethier. i knew I messed up. i jaut needed to figure out a way to fix it all. and today. i need to get my head straight. i need to chose one... of them.
i hear a knock on my door and yell "COME IN" it was bryce.
a smile came onto my face. he walked in and shut the door behind him.

"can we talk?" he ask
"yeah of course." i say patting the bed for him to sit down next to me

he sat down and started talking

"sienna, you know i do really have feelings for you. and I can't just keep pertending I don't. it's now or never. because i don't want to keep holding it in. the first day I met you i knew i was done for. you looked so pretty. every day you do. but that day. i saw a sparkle in your eye and your big pretty smile with your pearly white teeth. it was so special. and im sorry I'm just pouring this out to you at 10 in the morning while your still half asleep, but i needed to tell you. do you... maybe feel the same?"

my face turned red. seeing that big smile on his face broke me. i knew this moment was coming. but not this soon. i knew I had to do it. i knew I had to let go of one of them. but who? who would i chose? i cant.. i cant chose. but i have too.

"bryce.." i begin
"i.. i.." my head starts spinning and i passed out. i didn't know what happened after that but i remember waking up on the couch with all of the members around me. everyone was arguing and i just grabbed my head because it was throbbing

"can you guys stop arguing." i say as I sit up and grab my head and everyone runs over to me to ask if I'm okay
"SIA!" jake says as he hugs me
"are you okay?" Thomas ask
"my head really hurts." I say
"we were so worried." mia says
"wait so you remember everything?" kristian says

i look at bryce and shake my head yes

"okay well we will keep an eye on you." jacob says as everyone but bryce walks away. everyone went there own ways so the house was quiet, too quiet.

he sits down on the couch next to me.

"how you feeling?" he ask
"fine. still a little dizzy, and my head is throbbing." i say as i lay my head backwards hoping to escape all of this
"before... you passed out you were saying something to me.. do you want to tell me?" he says

my cheeks turn red and i sit up straight.

"bryce.." I begin with a worried look on my face
"you like him too don't you?" he ask while turning his head to look at me
"bryce.. im so sorry." I say
"it's fine. I already know how this goes." he says as he stands up.

i grab his arm before he can walk away. he walks closer to me and we lock eyes. we lock eyes and lean in slowly but before anything could happen I see Jacob standing just a couple of feet away from us with a Starbucks coffee in his hand and a cow squish mallow he handed me it all with no expressions on his face

"jacob.." i say
"that's for you." he says with a straight face as he hurry's up the stairs to his room, the door slams and bryce looks at me
"im sorry.. that was a mistake." he says
"nothing happened." I say
"we led eachother on." he says

i try to say something but he stops me

"he really likes you sienna. loves you if not and I ruined that." bryce says as a tear falls from his cheek
"bryce." I say as my voice breaks
"im sorry but if you chose me I can't be with you. i can't do that to him." he says as he walks away from me and outside. i look outside and see him drive away.

i stand there crying for a couple of minutes until jake and mia came and hugged me and was comforting me telling me that everything was going to be okay. i kept listening to "The 30th By Billie Eilish" all night. i couldnt fall asleep. jake and mia slept in my room tonight. paige stayed with me for a little while and told me that bryce and jacob were both gone and they have been for hours. Kristian, Ace, Jackson, Tabitha and Thomas went to go find them.
i cried all night.
