Chapter 22 - Chapter 22

Sienna looked in the mirror after her shower. Condensation filled the glass leaving her to run her hand across it just to get a glimpse of her face. Her striking grey eyes stared back at her, her lips didn't have to curve into the shape of a smile, her eyes said it all. She was happy to have Paige around.

As Sienna walked around her bedroom she towel dried her hair while looking for an outfit to wear. Her family and Paige were all downstairs. Slipping into her most comfortable grey joggers, a white t-shirt, and a blush colored cardigan she looked into the full length mirror that leaned against her bedroom wall. Sienna studied her body in the mirror. She had put on a few pounds since she had been back home which didn't surprise her since her mom made enough food to feed small civilizations. She liked her body though, she welcomed the few pounds since they helped accentuate her hips which always made her feel sexier.

As she made her way toward the bed she grabbed her cellphone. She hadn't heard from Andrew since yesterday before she dropped by his house. Laying down in the bed she dialed Andrew's number and waited for an answer.

"Heeeeey, babyyyy" A hiccup interrupted Andrew midway through his greeting. Sienna immediately recognized the slurry tone that came from his very brief two word greeting. Being that it was only nine in the morning she figured Andrew had been out all night.

"Hey, you." Sienna responded, she couldn't help but smile at how silly he sounded. She had only seen Andrew drunk one time and it was at his eighteenth birthday party.

"What's up? When am I going to see your fine ass again? Last night was wild!" He replied, barely audible.

"Wild, huh? Yeah, it sounds like you had a great time." Sienna responded. A wave of anxiety came over her, she couldn't explain it but she had a bad feeling about what was about to come out of his mouth next.

"Yeah, shit you know I always have a good time with you, babe." He replied, his slurred words sounding slightly high pitched as they hit on the word babe.

"Andrew, do you know who this is?" Sienna asked, sitting up on her bed. She felt like someone had just thrown a bucket of cold water on her face.

A pause which felt eternal came through on the line.

"Heather" He responded, a confident chuckle could be heard escaping him.

Sienna was stunned at the response. She immediately thought of all the different scenarios that may have occurred between Andrew and this Heather girl.

"Are you FUCKING kidding me, Andrew? It's Sienna. Your FIANCE." Sienna responded angrily.

"Oh shit," Andrew responded. "Babe, babe, babe, whatever you're thinking you're wrong. Let me explain." He replied, suddenly sounding more sober and in a panic.

"It's not what I think huh? Sober the fuck up, Andrew. I'm done. I'm freaking done with you." Sienna responded, angrily hitting the red button on her phone and hanging up the call.

Sienna knew she had no right to be as pissed off as she was. She had essentially been doing the same thing the last week but she still couldn't help but feel lied to and manipulated. Guilt struck Sienna when she realized that Paige had been right all along. She knew the signs had all been there with Andrew but she had chosen to ignore them.

Sienna stormed out of her bedroom and bypassed everyone who was in the living room, including Paige. As much as she enjoyed her company right now just wasn't the time. It also wasn't the time to hear "I told you so". She took a seat on the front porch and her phone began ringing. With every hit of the ignore button she felt more angry and disrespected. He couldn't even respect her wishes, he had to get in the last word. There was no explanation for what he was doing.

"What, Andrew? Geez! I told you I'm done. What part of that don't you understand?" She yelled angrily into the phone.

"Listen to me, Sienna. Listen!" Andrew yelled back into the phone. The sound of the engine in the background let Sienna know he was driving.

"Don't show up at my house. My whole family is here, Andrew. Don't you dare!" Sienna replied, walking toward the sidewalk to avoid having anyone hear her.

"I just need five minutes to explain. PLEASE." He exclaimed.

Before Sienna knew it Andrew had pulled into the driveway.

"Get. Out." Sienna said, pointing toward the street.

"No! You can't just do this, Sienna. It was an accident, it happened one time." He replied, running out of the car toward her.

"An accident?" Sienna let out a loud sarcastic chuckle. "You're so full of shit, Andrew." She responded, turning her back to him.

Andrew made a grab for her arm. Sienna quickly pulled her arm away and took a step back.

"I'm asking you nicely, please do not make a whole thing out of this in front of my family. If you don't do this for me please do it out of respect for them." Sienna pleaded.

"No, I want to talk to your parents. They'll talk sense into you. They love me, they'll understand this is just an overreaction on your part." He replied, walking toward the front door.

When Andrew got to the porch steps he was met by Sienna's mom who had just opened the door.

"Is everything alright here?" She asked, she was like a protective mama bear ready to pounce.

"Yeah, Sienna and I are trying to work something out but she refuses to listen. Please Mrs. Phoenix, can you please tell her to listen to me." Andrew replied, suddenly putting on his most charming tone. He looked at Sienna's mom with the biggest puppy dog eyes ever.

Just as Sienna's mother was about to respond, the rest of the family decided to step out to see what the commotion was about.

"Hey, didn't she ask you to leave?" Paige asked, calmly.

Andrew laughed and walked up to Paige's face.

"This...this doesn't concern you. So, why don't you pack your bags and get your lesbian ass out of here. You're freaking gross and there's a special place in hell for people like you." Andrew replied, waving Paige off.

Everyone's eyes were now on Paige who stood there in shock. Andrew had just outed her in front of Sienna's parents. Anger and rage overtook Paige. She wanted to slap him but instead she knew she had to refrain. She had to be the bigger person and let this go.

"You're a scumbag, dude. I'm not even wasting my time with you. You're pathetic and a shitty ass wannabe player who peaked in high school. It's all downhill from here, hun. I feel sorry for you." Paige responded, smiling and folding her arms in front of her chest.

"Yeah, whatever, dike." Andrew replied, taking one last dig at Paige.

This was the straw that broke the camel's back. Paige took a step toward Andrew when she felt herself being held back by hands wrapped around her waist from behind. She realized Sienna was behind her keeping her from attacking Andrew. Instead, Sienna's dad stepped in between her and Andrew.

"Andrew, boy...I think it's best if you just walk away." He said firmly.

"Sir, if you just give me a second to explain. Ever since this girl came into Sienna's life all she has done is feed her ridiculous ideas. It's absolutely insane, I think she's in love with your daughter and she's doing everything she can to get us to split up. Sir, we are a family. You've known me since I was a boy, you've got to listen to me." Andrew begged.

"Boy, you ain't shit. I don't know what you've done to Sienna to get her all worked up but let me tell ya, you better pray I don't find out because if I do I will take care of it. I've got a shotgun collection and shovels I've been dying to use." Sienna's dad replied. Standing menacingly close to Andrew. "Now, step away from my property."

"Mrs. Phoenix, this is absolutely ridiculous." Andrew responded, taking steps back.

"No, son. You're ridiculous and your treatment of not just my daughter but also of Paige shows a lot about your character. I wouldn't be caught dead calling your family after the vile things that have just come out of your mouth." She replied, staring at Andrew angrily.

"Fine. Forget all of you, then. I don't need this shit!" Andrew responded, taking a seat in his car and slamming the door.

The family watched as he sped off leaving tire marks on the street.
