Sienna POV

I slept through the whole day, because to be honest, I was too sad to do anything. I woke up to a message from the friend group asking to hang out today, and to reserve all our differences to the side.

I replied with a simple "ok", and turned off my phone. I was looking forward to hanging out with them again, assuming and hoping that nothing weird was going to happen.

I got up from my bed and got ready for school, and to be fair, I looked like an absolute mess. There were still paths of tears on my eyes from yesterday.

I woke up a couple of times throughout the night to see if Green ever responded, to which he didn't. That only made me cry more. I've never cried this much over someone.

The urge to want and fix things with him hasn't left me yet, and I don't think it ever will. I've grown so attached to him to the point where I feel so empty without him.

If you can somehow hear me Green, I still love you, and forever will. I really don't know what I'm gonna do without you.

I wanna fix things with you. Although I feel a little bit numb now, it doesn't mean I'm not absolutely devastated without you.

A few minutes passed, roughly 10 to be accurate, and I was headed to school.

The air was a bit frigid, and I walked over to my bus stop. The bus came around 5 minutes later and I sat down in my usual seat, staring outside the window.

The bus ride was quiet and melancholic, or at least I made it seem that way.

All I could think about during the whole ride was Green. He was the only thing on my mind. I checked my phone to see if he read the message, and to no surprise, he hasn't.

We made it to the school and I got off the bus. I walked toward Algebra class and just sat there, emotionless.

It didn't help that in most, if not all of my classes with Green I sat next to him. After a while, the bell rang for the first block of school.

Green didn't show up, and to be fair, I'm kind of grateful for that. It won't be as awkward anymore..

..although I really want to see him and just..to..well..talk to him. I don't know what he did, or what he thinks, but I genuinely can't stop thinking about him.

Lenia walked in a little late, but I was grateful for that, because I had a lot of stuff to tell her/get off my mind. She noticed me and came up to me.

"Hey Sienna!" She said to me, ecstatically.

I forgot to mention that I haven't told anyone about it yet, so it only took her about 3 seconds to realize.

"Are you okay?" Her demeanor changed, "was it Green? What happened?"

Her saying his name only broke me more inside. I tried my best to not just explode in tears, to which I didn't, but she was right.

"Y-yeah." I said to her in an upset tone.

"What's wrong? Tell me, what happened?!" Lenia said to me, worryingly.

"Green and I spoke yesterday.." I said to her, "over the phone, not even in person."

I continued, "and he was talking..and we were both right. Jake, Khalid, and Steven all did something to him. They hurt him. He got taken to the hospital.."

"He continued speaking and then ended with saying that we can't be seen together, and that maybe one day we can become friends again, and hung up afterward." I started to tear up a little bit, "and that was that."
