Sienna

"Sienna, I'm actually really, really glad you called." Andy sounded stressed out of his mind, making Sienna sigh loudly. "Yeah, I saw what the magazine said. To be honest, people will make up the stupidest shit in the world just to get a story. There's not even a story here."
Alex Gaskarth was picking at his nails while Sienna was on the phone with Andy. They were on the move again. They were in Amsterdam now, slowly driving through traffic. The guys were looking forward to visiting the brewery. Sienna was a little less than excited, but she told Austin that she would go with them if it would make them feel better.
"Yeah, I know..." Sienna mumbled. "I need this to be addressed really soon. Everything's going to shit."
"I understand that." Andy sighed loudly. Sienna could picture him running his fingers through his hair, pulling at his hair in a frustrated manner. "Fuck. I mean, we could talk 'bout it in a video or something...you know, get the story straight..."
"Yeah." Sienna felt her stomach twist. "Has it been bad for you?"
Andy snorted. "A little bit, but not extremely bad. How about you?"
Sienna swallowed hard, her mind instantly going to Noah. "It's been pretty horrible." she admitted, her voice cracking a little. "So can we please address this sooner than later?"
"Yeah, sure." Andy's tone instantly went soft, the guys and I are still in Germany. Maybe we could swing by and we could sort this thing out?"
Sienna nodded, clearing her throat. "That would be great. Thanks."
Andy said something else, but Sienna basically tuned it out, only hanging up when he said goodbye. Alex glanced over at Sienna, looking a little worried. "You okay, there?" he asked, concerned. Sienna shrugged, feeling her stomach twist.
"I'm as okay as I'll ever be." She mumbled, her mouth dry. Alex pouted and held out his arms, offering her a hug. Sienna leaned into his arms without a second thought. He held her tightly, rubbing her back
He smelled like cinnamon gum and axe hairspray. Sienna had come to recognize as 'his' smell. Sienna couldn't get the teats to come to her eyes, but she felt safer and more whole with Alex's arms around her. She closed her eyes and leaned into him, relaxing her body. Alex patted her arm gently.
"It's okay. Everything is okay. This is just a bump in the road. It's fine."
Sienna felt her stomach twist and she shook her head. "No, it's not fine." She bit her lip, whimpering. "Noah hates be because of this stupid rumor. And I just want to feel okay again, because Noah doesn't believe me that this is just a rumor. He thinks I cheated on him or something, but I would never cheat on him! He means so much to me, and I wouldn't ever risk letting that go for some stupid fling. I love him so much, and he thinks I cheated on him with Andy."
"Did he say that he actually thought you guys hooked up?" Alex asked, his tone sounding concerned. Sienna shook her head, her eyes opening a bit.
"No, he didn't."
"Well then, you don't actually know that, do you?" Alex smiled weakly. "Now, lets forget about this and watch a movie, huh? How about that? We can watch a movie and we can brush Max. He needs it. His fur's getting all tangly."
Sienna nodded in agreement and settled in next to Alex as he turned on the movie to watch to help distract her from this situation she was unfairly forced into. And for a little bit of time, she forgot all about it.

Austin
----
While Sienna was watching a movie with Alex, Austin was busy talking with Noah on the phone. Max had somehow weaseled his way into Austin's lap and Austin had tried to push the little puppy off of his lap, but Max stayed put, so Austin ended up letting the German Shepherd stay on his lap.
Noah and Austin spoke for a while, and Austin actually listened to what the boy had to say. He had some points that Austin agreed with, and ultimately, they both agreed that it was for the best that they were broken up for now.
After their conversation, Austin ran his fingers through Max's fur, scratching behind the little puppy's ears. Max licked at Austin's hand before settling in and sleeping.
"Knock, knock." said Tino, entering the room. Austin glanced up, his eyes tired.
"Hey, Tino." Austin greeted, nodding to his friend. Tino grinned and plopped down beside him, putting his feet up on the small coffee table that had a laptop set up.
"Wanna watch some TV?" Tino offered, clicking some buttons on the laptop, bringing it to life and signing into his HBO account. "Game Of Thrones?"
Austin smirked. "You and your Game Of Thrones," he snorted. "I swear, you're gonna be so obsessed with it someday, you're gonna quit your job as a drummer and become a full time cosplayer."
"Hush, young one." Tino said, holding up a hand. "You do not know where your words may lead you to."
Austin snorted. "You're full of shit, Young Fuego." Tino smirked.
"Are you watching it with me or nah?" Tino asked, clicking on an episode and it began to play where he last left off.
"Of course I'll watch it with you." Austin cooed, rolling his eyes. Tino smirked.
"Thanks, bruh." Tino laughed and they settled, watching the show.
While Austin annoyed the shit out of Tino by asking him a lot of questions, Alan appeared at the entry way, his arms crossed over his chest. "Hey, you guys are watching Game Of Thrones without me?" Alan whined. Austin was about to respond, but the bus suddenly came to a halt. Austin's body was thrown forward his head smashing into the wall. Tino's body did the same, his shoulder slamming into the wall as well. Alan shouted loudly, his voice being drowned out by the sound of shattering glass.
There were shouts from everywhere around Austin, and Austin's head was spinning.
"What the hell happened?" Austin shouted, before he instantly regretted it. He had a pounding headache from the impact of the crash and the side of his head was warm and wet with blood. Tino was nursing his nose which looked broken and Alan was holding his ankle, whimpering. Max was whining too, his little body cuddled up with Alan, licking at Alan's face.
"Is everyone okay?" asked a voice, Austin recognized it as Zack Merrick's.
"What happened?" Austin asked again, this time quieter. He heard Zack's footsteps in the hall, walking towards the other lounge, the lounge where Austin, Tino, and Alan all laid.
"The fuckin' bus crashed." Zack muttered, helping the guys to their feet. "Is everyone okay?"
"Yeah." Tino sputtered, spitting a bit of blood from his mouth.
"Wait, where's Sienna?" Austin asked, pushing his way past Zack a little bit.
"What do you mean-" Zack started, but Austin was long gone, stumbling his way down the now messy halls.
"Sienna?" shouted Austin, ignoring the throbbing pain his his head. "Sienna? Where are you?"
She didn't respond at first, making Austin go into slight panic mode, but then he heard her voice.
"D-dad?" she asked softly. Austin turned on his heel, shoving into the back lounge.
Sienna was curled up on the ground, Alex holding her in a tight grip...well, his grip was slack.
"Sienna," Austin breathed, leaning down to help Sienna up. She looked unharmed, but her eyes were blown wide and she stared down at Alex. Austin did the same, waiting for Alex to stand up, but he didn't. Austin worriedly coughed.
"Are you okay?" he asked Alex, but Alex didn't respond. He only gave a low pained groan. "Alex?" he said, a little bit more panicked.
"Alex?" Sienna breathed, kneeling down and shaking him slightly.
"Fuck!" Austin snapped, spinning around. "We need some help here! Alex is hurt!"
"How badly?" Phil and Rian walked down the halls at a moderately fast pace, trying to get to the two.
"I don't know..." Austin said, pulling at his hair, frustratedly.
"Alex, can you hear me?" Rian called, kneeling down near Alex's head. "Fuck, Alex, can you hear me? Say something!"
Sienna covered her mouth and all Austin could do was stare.
Fuck. What were they going to do now?
