Kio POV
"Baby you have to stand up to them, please." I beg my girlfriend, Ally.
"No. I don't even know why I'm in that house in the first place Ki, who's to say I have any chance of staying if I say something!" I can see the anxiousness in her eyes.
"What does it matter if you get kicked out! You're so unhappy all the time, every time you come here. I miss my happy, positive girlfriend, who usually never thinks. Now you're overthinking. Everyone in that house loves you, so much. Almost as much as I do." I see a tear drip down her cheek.
"I've been staying there less than a month. Nothing like him. Compared to his word, I would be... n-nothing to them." I pull her to my chest, just shaking my head above hers. I know I can't do anything. She's not going to change her mind.
We stay that way for a few minutes, before Ally mumbles, "I have to go. We have a house meeting in fifteen minutes and I cannot be late."

Ally POV
I walk into the Hype House, going up to the living room. I see almost everyone, except one specific person, sitting on the couches and chairs, or if they're Thomas who is standing up by his classic white board.
"Ey Ally's back!" Nick yells, making everyone laugh. Nick and I have gotten closer, he's just helped me get comfortable and things. Obviously I'm dating Kio, so it's more of a brother/sister type of a deal.
"Yeah, I had to run to Sway, Kio wanted to see me," I smile as I sit down next to Kouvr, the last remaining seat in the room now to my right.
"You two are actually the cutest, I swear, its sickening sometimes," Chase laughs from across from me. I just smile looking down. Kio and I have been dating for four months, I was in social media, but I've definitely gained followers since. I'm at 23 million now. I was at 12 million beforehand.
"Oh look who it is, waltzing in last," Tayler laughs, looking at the last member we were waiting in.
"Oh come on, I'm not that late!" Ryland yells. I wince at the sound if his voice. Kouvr looks at me curiously, but doesn't say anything.
"Just sit down Ryland. This won't take long." Thomas says. He starts talking, but I don't pay much attention, as Ryland takes a seat next to me and leans back into the couch, sticking his legs out. Thomas continues, as Ryland leans forward into my ear,
"You're a fucking bitch you know that?" I barely move my head, but I know my face falls.
"What have I done to you Ryland, I'm trying to be so nice-" He grabs my arm jerking me lightly. We're at the edge of the room, and everyone is paying attention to Thomas about something with all the fans outside, so no one notices.
"You don't talk to me like that. I've been here longer than me, and yet you're so ridiculously ahead of me with your followers for being so ugly. I just don't get it." I inhale sharply. I know he's right, but it stings. It's in my comments everyday, but it's hard to hear. "When he's done talking come with me to my room. We're going to have a little chat." I just nod, as he pulls back, before hearing a loud voice call my name,
"Ally! What is with you lately?!" Thomas asks, clearly having been trying to get my attention for a while.
"S-Sorry, I-I just spaced out. What'd you say?" He shakes his head.
"I asked if you care if we do the Walmart brand deal. You just would upload the video on your account or you wearing the clothes. Avani, Jack, Tony, and Kouvr all are doing it, you game?" I nod, looking down again. Thomas is quiet for a minute before saying, "Okay, that's all, go do whatever."
I wait for most people to wander off before standing up. Nick walks in my way, grabbing my arm.
"Hey, what's up with you? You seem so... off." I look up at him as see the concern in his eyes. I actually consider saying something, following Kio's advice, for just a second before I hear,
"Ally! Come on!" from Ryland down the hallway. I look at Nick, who lets go and nods, saying,
"We can talk later, but I'm serious, okay?" I just nod quickly before running after Ryland, following him into his room.
"Sit down." he says, eyeing me. I sit in the chair next to his bed while he stands. "Okay Ally, I need you to do something for me. And you're going to." I look at him curiously. Why would I be able to do something for him let alone why would I?
"What do you mean?"
"You're going to announce publicly on Tiktok and on all socials that you're taking a long break from Tiktok." My eyes widen, my heart sinking.
"No, Ryland, I love Tiktok, please." I beg, him smirking down at me.
"If you don't, I tell everyone that you've been bullying me, because you have more followers than me, you've been here for less time, etc. I've been thee ur friend for a long time. They'll believe me." I just stare at him. This is all I have, what am I going to do? "Thomas will be okay with it, maybe not happy with it though, and we both know for now you'll be able to pay your rent." I shake my head staring at the floor.
"Why Ryland? Why make me take a break?" He puts his hands on either arm of the chairs, leaning down to my face,
"You do not deserve the platform you have. You do not deserve to be verified. And you do not deserve to be ahead of me. I'm not going let someone like you have that." A tear falls down my cheek as he basically hisses in my face.
"Okay... I'll do it."

(pretty proud of this edit haha (not actually- i know it's bad but i just needed it to look kinda right ish, i'm sorry)

I sigh, sitting in my room, the door locked. My phone is blowing up with most of the Sway boys, the entire Hype House, my older sister and both my older brothers.
I look at Nick's for a while, then he sends the third message and I know I have to respond. He's Ryland's best friend, so I can't tell him. But I don't want to lie to him. It's almost harder than lying to Kio, which I'm not doing.
I know doing it this sudden is probably weird and alarming, but it's not like I have a choice.
I reply to Thomas saying I'll be there in a second, same with Kouvr, I tell my siblings I'm fine, it's just the pressure of all the hate I get, and I text Kio that we can talk later.
I tell Nick I'm fine, I just saw a comment when I got back to my room that hit way to close. Everyone has that sometimes, so it's not super unreasonable.
I lay on my bed for another twenty minutes, not knowing how I'm going to handle all of this. I don't even know if I can. Maybe I do really need a break.

As I walk through the house I avoid everyone, not wanting to answer questions. I open Kouvr's door and everyone inside stands up. Nick, Kio, Kouvr, Thomas, Mia, Alex, and Patty.
My eyes widen as I scan the room, stopping in my boyfriend, tilting my head.
"I'm sorry, Ally, I had to tell them, you don't deserve this..." Kio says, walking towards me. I scan the rest of the room, trying to read their faces. Thomas steps forward finally, speaking,
"Ryland is our friend Ally," my heart sinks, but too soon, "but this isn't okay. How he's been treating you, him clearly bullying you and forcing you into taking a break from your job? Out of what, jealously? Well all know that isn't okay, alright, and we're going to figure it out." He smiles at me reassuringly. I smile as Kio wraps his arm around my waist.
"Really? You're not kicking me out!"
"Really Al. You're our family too, we've got you, even if you do need to take a break." Nick grins at me, and I smile back. I look up at Kio and he's smiling down on me. I know exactly what he's going to say, so as he opens his mouth and speaks, I mouth what he says,
"I told youuu sooo," making everyone laugh.

Hey, I wrote this and I don't know how good it is but it's was requested and sounded good so...
Also I love Ryland, so I'm sorry this seemed so mean. He's definitely more genuine than how he's portrayed here.
Anyway, as usual request anything you want through comments or DM's, and comment and vote to show me what you thought!
Thank y'all for reading!
