Chapter 11: Terrified

Kouvr POV

Everyone is messing around, eating pizza, which just got here, when there is a loud knock on the door. I walk toward the door, going to open it when I hear a loud voice.

"I know she's in there, Sophia needs to be out here in the next 10 seconds!" It's Mason. Everyone goes silent, looking towards Sophia, who Jack instantly pushes away from the door. Her face is pale and even from here I can tell that she is shaking violently.

Charli stands and hugs her as Chase, Thomas, Tony, and Ondreaz walk towards the door opening it.

"Where is she!" Ive moves back towards Alex who immediately wrapped his arm around me and pushed me back. We all see him try to push into the house, but he's stopped by Thomas and Ondre, who push him outside. Chase goes to close the door, but looks at Sophia once more before swinging it shut.

Once it's closed I run and lock it, keeping Mason outside. Then, everyone's attention turns to Soph, who is sobbing and has taken Charli down to the floor. She sitting it Charli's arms, crying into her shoulder. Jack is crouched behind her, rubbing her back.

I have this in the characters part, but just so you know i'm this story, Jack and James graduated and are 18. They live with the Hype House. I wrote this, started I mean, before they moved so that will be brought up later. But just for reference, here, Jack and James are older than her. This is basically based a year in the future but in the old Hype House for now.

Thanks!

Kouvr POV

I wave basically all of the boys except Tony, Alex, Larray, and Jack our of the room. She doesn't know them very well and I don't think that's gonna help.

"You're okay Soph, he cant hurt you okay? You're okay." Charli is whispering in her ear, trying to comfort her. Avani is standing playing with her hands nervously, while Larray is standing by the window watching them outside. Mia is on her other side, trying to help Charli and Jack calm her down. Addison is sitting on a couch, just staring into space in shock.

Tony walks over slowly before crouching in front of them. "Sophia, can you look at me. Look me in the eye for a second." Sophia turns her head, eyes already swollen to look at Tony, "I need you to answer this question okay, truthfully, Why were you so scared when he walked in yelling like that?" Her eyes widen, speaking in a quiet voice,

"He just scared me. That's all." She puts her head down as she finishes, and Alex and I lock eyes. Fu*k.

That's her tell. She puts her head down. We played a big game of poker one time, as a joke, and Chase told us all her tell because she's a good lier and has a good poker face, but when she lies she lowers her head after speaking, even if it's only slight.

"Sophia, tell him the truth," Jack pleads, his voice cracking towards the end, all of knowing exactly what Tony is getting at.

"It was just a couple of times." She says, so quietly that none of us can hardly hear her, with her head down. But Jack and Tony clearly hear her because they both stand up, only stopped from storming outside by Avani, Larray, and I standing in their way.

"Don't, they can handle him, we need to be here. For her." Avani says, signaling them to turn around. They both sigh, visibly trying to calm down before getting back down to her level on the ground. Addison moved to sit near her as well and, brushing hair out of her face says,

"Soph, hunny, can you try to tell us what happened?"

"He just got mad at something I did. I messed up. Just like the video with Jack. I know you're right, he can be rude and I know he's taking advantage of my fame to an extent but I'm the one that causes this. I'm sorry he came here, I'm so sorry," She starts sobbing again as she finishes speaking and leans back into Charli's shoulder.

"Sweetie, we need you to tell us what you're talking about," Larray says, sitting on the couch, with his head in his hands, "like, for real. Please?" She sighs, looking around at all of us, presumably trying to decide if she should, before speaking,

"You guys know that day I did a bunch of tiktoks with Chase and Jack? When we did, the "Tennis Bracelet" audio on Jack's account, "GOOBA" audio the twin sistas part on mine, and on Chase's we did "Imma Westside Baby, all my lady's, I'm tryna- OH", that one? Well, apparently he was at a party getting drunk when he saw them. I was at it as well, with him but in a different room.

One of his friends ran into the room Nessa and I were in, because it was her friend's party again, Mason's sister, but he ran in and told me Mason was yelling and had broken a beer bottle and he had put him in a room upstairs. We thought he would calm down if I went in there. So Ethan sent me in."

"Sophia what happened." Jack says, staring holes into her head unintentionally.

"It wasn't his fault Jack, it's fine, it was mine. I'm his-"

"No Soph, it's not your fault! Nothing ever was. And don't say it was, stop. You're not his anything, you just broke up with him. For a reason. He hurt you, he is a bad person! What did he do to you that night?" She looks down, tears dripping down her face as Charli hugs her tightly.

"He... he just yelled for a while. He backed me up to the bed, and then turned and ran. I stayed there till morning. I was just scared. He called me some names, and said I was his and not you guys'," Jack and Tony stand up, but are stopped by her saying, "Please don't, he apologized. It was only that and one other small time, and he was so sorry. I know he's not the best guy but..."

"Sophia, we are going out there. Look at you! You're terrified of him!" Tony says, clearly trying to stay calm for her benefit.

She just looks down, shaking her head and mumbling as they walk out.
