sturniolo triplets one shot (no y/n)

"we said we wouldnt , ever" - chris

request from AboiHey2 !

(i did a slight change to the story line , hope that's okay! 😭 i'll write another one if you wanted the actually story!)

tw : mentions of alcohol , use of alcohol , angst

the triplets made a promise , that they will never get anywhere near alcohol. never. chris never thought it would get this bad. hell , he didn't even think it could get this bad. but here he is , in his room , not in the right state of mind.

it all started months ago , when the triplets decided to take a break from social media. they would occasionally post pre-recorded videos. the stress has gotten to all three triplets , so the break was well deserved. matt's anxiety was acting up , causing him to be guarded and tensed most of the time , not wanting to fall apart. nick , he was lacking sleep. he spent too much time overworking and editing videos , he wasn't able to focus on himself. chris on the other hand , was too caught up with his brand , future video idea's , and the shared clothing brand , he too didn't get much rest. all three of them had different ways to cope with stress. but no matter what , they all promised to never touch alcohol. oh chris ..

matt and nick were watching a movie together. they asked chris if he wanted to tag along but he said he was going out with some friends to release the stress in his body. so the brothers bid fare-well to chris as he left the house. chris met up with his friends at one of their houses. they spent time playing video games , watching movies and catching up with one another. that is , until one of them decided to bring alcohol. eventually , all of chris' friends were drunk except him. they kept on peer pressuring him to do so , and he eventually gave in. "just a little won't be so bad" if only chris knew how much this decision will affect him in the future.

one sip became two. two became three. and so on and on. his eyes were blood shot red. he made it back home safely around 3.15 am. matt and nick were fast asleep on the couch. honestly , chris was surprised that they didn't notice him banging the front door , or tripping over steps. he passed out the second he made contact with his bed. the next morning was a living hell for chris. he woke up with a bad hang over. he stayed in his room pretty much the entire morning. he sobered up around noon , in time before matt and nick could notice what was happening.

chris knew this was a bad idea , but he couldn't help himself. he was slowly becoming addicted and soon enough , he found himself infront of his friend's house. his friend had offered to buy him vodka and chris took this as a chance to get a hand on some alcohol himself. he took multiple cases with him back home. matt was in his room when chris returned. he assumed that nick was in his own room since the house was practically empty. he snuck into his room and started drinking , but being smart enough to not drink too much.

his addiction became worst , and he found himself going out late at night to get more alcohol. matt and nick noticed his behaviour changing and wanted to talk to chris about it. but recently , he's been snapping at the smallest things and seem to be insanely irritable. they noticed how chris is always in his room , how he doesn't seem so energetic like he used to be , how his eyes are always red , and how his body seemed to be different. so they decided to give it some time and let chris have his own space. what matt and nick didn't know , was that chris was sneaking in alcohol from a friends house.

matt and nick had enough of chris' behaviour. he had been snapping at them for the smallest things. the lights being too bright , accidentally nudging him when walking , how noisy it was , they were tired of it. their breaking point was when chris and nick got into a heated argument , because nick was "taking up too much space" on the couch. nick tried to talk to chris about his recent behaviour but chris wouldn't say anything. he would just push nick out of the way and storm into his room.

"matt , we need to go something about chris. he could get himself into serious trouble if he keeps on acting like that. especially in public." nick reasoned with matt. matt agreed with him. that night , chris was drinking , once again. he had run out of room for his bottles of vodka so he decided to throw it all out. nick and matt decided to wait until tomorrow to talk to chris. they barely got any sleep. concern is evident in matt's eyes when chris came up the stairs. red eyes , hair sticking out in every direction , messy and stained clothing , it's like chris never took a shower a day in his life. matt was in charge of taking the trash out every morning. so that's what he did. the sight infront of him , wanted to make him throw up. there it was , right infront of him , chris' vodka bottles. he took a picture of it before clearing it out. he barged into nick's room , not caring about the complains from his older triplets.

concern and anger filled nick's eyes. with the evidence on matt's phone , there's no way chris will be able to deny it. that very moment , the two older triplets made their way to the youngest's room. they opened the door to see chris zoning out. he didn't seem to register that nick and matt were right infront of him. until nick nudged him. "what the fuck nick! why are you even here!?"

"you want to explain why matt found fucking vodka bottles in the trash!? what the fuck chris!" nick shouted , causing both matt and chris to flinch. chris was denying that the bottles were his , but nick didn't believe a word he said.

"chris , both matt and i never touched alcohol before. if it's not ours , it's clearly yours! how else would it get in our trash? a raccoon came in and dumped it there? bullshit!" by then , nick was screaming at the top of his lungs , anger taking over him. matt tried to get nick to calm down , but it wasn't working. nick wanted answers , and he wanted it now.

"fucking fine! those are mine but what about it? it's not causing any harm to you so just mind your own business and leave me alone!"

"chris , we promised each other that none of us will get anywhere near alcohol. you're not even old enough to be drinking! we said we wouldn't , ever!"

matt kept quiet the entire time. he didn't dare to do anything. chris eventually collapsed on his bed. not wanting to deal with the his brothers anymore. "chris , come on. let us help you with it. we can help cut down your use of alcohol , maybe even quit drinking it." matt reasoned , but chris wasn't having it. he shouted at them to get out and shoved them out of his room. nick and matt tried to talk to chris the next few days but it was no use. he basically locked himself in his room.

behind closed doors , it was a mess. dirty clothing everywhere , used tissues and even food wrappers on the floor. chris was rotting in his room. he refused to get out of his room , and doesn't want to let nick or matt help. the words nick said was replaying in his head. he didn't even realise that tears were forming in his eyes. once one fell , the others did too. and it wouldn't stop. he cried himself to sleep that night , with nicks words replaying in his head over and over again. he was basically rotting in bed. having no energy to get up , room being a mess , not showering in days , everything. chris didn't think it could get this bad. but here he is , locked up in his room , dirty , and not in the right state of mind.

"we said we wouldn't , ever!"
