I decided Chelsie would be played by Sophia Mitchell, because how gorgeous is she??!

Sienna's P.O.V

Jessie and I walked to a local convenience store to pick up some treats to bring to Chelsie's. We picked up ice cream and nachos and hailed a cab to Chelsie's. Her building was right across the road from Jessie's so we ran into her apartment quickly to grab some DVD's.

"I think a good rom com could cheer her up!"  Jessie said, nervous energy in her voice.

She grabbed a couple of DVD's from her shelf and we headed across the street to Chelsie's apartment.

We rang the buzzer and a voice answered.

"Hello?" A voice sniffled over the intercom.

"Hey Chelsie, it's Jessie and Sienna. We just stopped by to see if you wanted some ice cream and maybe a rom com?"  Jessie said hopefully.

"Oh okay." She said quietly and then the door buzzed, because she had opened the door to let us in.

We get in the elevator and Jessie pressed the button to Chelsie's floor. We rode the whole way up in silence, both us quite nervous to be cleaning up Ryan's mess.

We reach Chelsie's floor and Jessie takes a big deep breath.

The door creaked open and a small figure appeared. Chelsie stood before us, blotchy eyed and holding a tissue in her hand.

"Thanks for coming by." She said quietly and gave us a sad smile.

We came in and Jessie popped the ice cream into the freezer and I stood awkwardly, watching Chelsie stood there, sniffling and furiously trying to wipe away tears from her eyes.

"Hey Chels, are you okay?" Jessie asked, with a soothing voice.

"I don't know what to say, I just can't believe he would break up with me! I was the perfect girlfriend, but apparently it just wasn't enough." She sobbed.

"He's an asshole." Jessie consoled her. "Right Sienna?" She looked at me.

"Right. A total asshole." I said, even though I don't know him. But I'm guessing it was true, considering we were here pretty much on his behalf, trying to console his ex girlfriend.

Jessie put on a movie and sat Chelsie down on the couch. She grabbed three bowls and scooped us all out some ice cream. I sat down beside Chelsie and she turned around to me.

"Thanks so much for coming, it means a lot. I hope Ryan's been nice to you at least." She said, rolling her eyes at herself for mentioning Ryan.

"It's no problem, honestly. And we haven't even talked that much, so it's been okay so far."

"That's how he wants you to think. He wants you to think you're nothing to him, and then he'll make you feel really important, and then he'll drop you. Just like that." She said harshly.

I just nodded. I don't know how to reply to that. I came here to clean up, not make a mess, well more of a mess, and if I made a mess here it'd be my fault. I was fine cleaning up Ryan's mess.

We watched the movie and made occasional small talk. We ate the snacks and Chelsie even cracked a smile.

"We should all go out this weekend!" She piped up out of nowhere. "You guys and maybe your roommate, Jessie?" She looked either side, at the two of us.

"Sure, I'll come and I'll ask Quincey tonight. Sienna?" Jessie looked at me.

"Yeah, I don't mind." I said, it'd be nice to have plans, and hopefully make some friends without the help of my mother.

Jessie and I left shortly after, because Chelsie fell asleep on the couch from all her crying.

Jessie ran across the road to her apartment and I hailed a cab home. I check my phone in the cab and see I have five new messages.

Hey Sienna! Chelsie here, if you want to come to my house before we head out on Saturday so we can all head in together? Can't wait to see you <3

From : Ryan Hale
Hey Sienna, it's Ryan. I left my keys in the house so could you leave the door unlocked for me please? I won't be late home ;)

I replied to Chelsie and Ryan and told Chelsie I'd meet at her house on Saturday, and I told Ryan I would leave the door open for him. I told my mother I was thankful for the money and that I would take Jessie out to lunch.

When I got home I got into some PJ's and stuck on the TV, Criminal Minds was on so I let it play in the background as I made some pasta for dinner. My phone buzzed, it was another text.

From : Jessie Hale
Hey Sienna, it's Jessie! Just wondering if my brother is home, I've been trying to ring him but he won't pick up?

To : Jessie Hale
Hey Jessie, nope sorry. He's gone out.

All of these messages were overwhelming, usually I only got messages from my mom, Peyton and the bank. I sat down on the couch and ate my pasta. Life was picking up speed pretty fast. Like an aeroplane on a runway. I didn't know how I felt about that.

To : Peyton Valencia
That's so great P! Can't wait to be neighbours <3

After I cleaned up my dinner and did the dishes, I decided to hop in for a quick shower to freshen up. After I was done that I dried my hair and went to get into bed. There was a rattling at the door and some muttering. Ryan was home, and by the sound of things, he was pretty wasted.
