Sienna POV

"So, you guys broke up?"

I am currently at Harpers house, with Ellie and obviously Harper, going over the whole "what is new" talk. When Harry left my house this morning, I knew staying home and sulking would make me more miserable, so quality girl time I thought would cheer me up.

"We were never dating," I say to Harper who has her eyes scrunched at me. I just got done explaining my not so eventful morning. "But we aren't seeing each other anymore, or right now, I don't know." I say while sighing and throwing myself back on her mattress. I close my eyes in frustration and huff silently. 

"So if Michelle never opened up her trapper, do you think he would've thought to be single the rest of summer?" Ellie asks.

Good point.

"Probably not," I say with a sigh. "There were obvious red flags that I ignored," I admit. The phone use, the not doing "labels". 

"And you never talked to him about it?" Harper chimes in, in a much more brass tone. Ellie is obviously the friend who is softer spoken and more understanding. Harper is that friend that would kill for you. I think the three of us compliment each other well.

I sit up and prop my body on my elbows. "I didn't think too, because we weren't in a relationship. And I knew I should've set ground rules, or whatever, but I was scared." 

"Scared?" Harper asks, furrowing her eyebrows.

"Scared like you didn't want to step on toes?" Ellie offers. She is sitting at the corner of the bed while Harper and I are sitting near the headrest.

"Scared like we fucked up once and I wanted to try and make it work out," I briefly explain, not wanting to go into specifics with my feelings right now. Maybe I am part of the issue to why we are where we are right now.

Obviously, my brain automatically inserts. 

Our conversation goes quiet when I hear my phone buzz a few times. I groan and reach to the night stand where I put my phone on charge. 

Mom: where are u? I thought u would be home?

Mom: your father and I wanted to talk to you

Mom: please be home soon Sienna

Now my parents are calling me Sienna

"I gotta go guys, my Mom wants me home," I say to my friends while sliding off Harpers mattress. "I'll keep you all posted if anything comes up."

"You better." Harper teases making me smile. 

I hug my friends goodbye and exit the house. My Mom has never been persistent on having me home at a certain time, or wanting me home at all. I know she mentioned talking about my future, but I am not even interested, as stupid as that sounds.

I am just going to go to Oregon, and call it that. Part of my reason for staying "close" was for a boy, which is silly. Or maybe it isn't silly and I don't want to to admit I was falling.

~~~

I open the front door to my house being awfully silent. With Ezra home, and awake, this is rare. 

"Hello?" I call from the foyer, peering around the entrance then to the hallway.

"In the kitchen!" I hear my Father respond with. 

I drop my shoulders and walk to where they are. I see them sitting at the island, like they were waiting for me. My heart begins to quicken and my hands feel sweaty like I have been caught or something.
