🪽 - a Sturniolo short story

🪽 pt 2 (Choice)

A/N: I fr did not expect anyone to find this on the first day and last time I checked I think it had 17 reads? Anyway here is the second part and I just finished writing part four which will come out in 2 days (I'm gonna try to do one a day but that might slow down) I hope you enjoy!!

Chris has to make a decision to leave the house with Matt or stay with Nick...what will he choose?

No TW yet I think only yelling and swearing

—————————————————————————

"Ok. I choose to stay. I'm sorry Matt I can't go I just-" Chris stops as he feels his body come into contact with another. He looks up to see Matt holding him.

"If that's what you want.." Matt whispers. "I don't know when I'll be back." His voice gets lower "I love you, take care of yourself, take care of Nick, and don't do anything stupid." Chris looks up at Matt. "Promise me you won't do anything stupid." Matt's eyes are now glossed over as Chris continues to hold back tears.

"I promise"

And with that Matt let's go, gets in the car, and leaves the house. Chris walks into his room knowing for the first time, no one knows when his brother is coming back.

As soon as Chris gets to his room he crawls right into his bed. Before his head even hits the pillow, his eyes, as if they were the ocean during a night storm, erupted. He, for once, didn't care if he was being too loud or if his brothers would hear because he knew no one was coming down to save him from drowning this time.

Chris opened his phone and checked Life360. Matt's location was off. Then he opened Instagram and logged onto the group account.

He made a post saying that after this week they would be going on a break due to a family emergency and said they didn't know when they would be back. As soon as it was posted fans started freaking out and Chris knew there was nothing he could do, but stare at the overflowing comments. Some upset, some respectful, some angry, and some just hoping everything is ok. He then put his phone down and continued to cry until it made his eyes too heavy to stay open and he fell asleep.

——

The next morning Chris woke up to a pounding on his door. It was Nick.

"CHRIS OPEN TNE FUCKING DOOR" Nick pounded on the door harder. Chris groaned, but got up to open the door before his brother broke it off the hinges. After opening the door the two brothers just stood there for a moment and stared at each other. Nick looked at Chris. he had dark red circles under his eyes and tear stains running down his face, eyes still red from crying. Chris then took a moment to look at Nick. The oldest triplet's face looked almost...normal? Chris could tell he had cried, but not that much..Chris decided to break the silence.

"Nick" he said quietly "what exactly happened before I walked in last night?" Nick looked around, refusing to make eye contact with his brother. Chris stepped out of the doorway, inviting Nick into his own room. Nick sat down on the bed and started to explain.

"Well..."
