-Sienna's P.O.V-

I pulled away from Ben, staring anywhere but at him. I felt bad that I had just used him to make Marko feel a certain type of way. I didn't even know if it had worked. I began to fidget on the stop, I was never good at coping with awkwardness. I knew I needed to say something but I didn't know what. Thankfully he broke the silence for me.

"Umm who is that angry looking lady coming towards us?" I shot my head up and saw my mom approaching us. Shit!

"That's my m-"

"Mother!" Her tone was harsh. She grabbed a hold of my upper arm. " I am her mother and she is coming with me"

"I'll see you around Sienna" Ben gave a small wave as my mom dragged me away from him.

"Don't hold your breath pal!" My mom screamed back.

As we got closer to the boys, I could see the vein in my dads head ready to pop. I really should've thought my whole plan through. What an idiot. My mom shoved me in front of my dad, I looked down at the ground in shame, not daring to look directly at him.

"Get behind Dwayne" Was all he said. I walk around his bike and over to Dwayne, before I could reach him, a glove hand gripped my wrist and began pulling me. Marko wordlessly helped me climb on behind him. I frowned, highly confused at his actions. I sighed and wrapped my arms around his waist. This should be interesting.

Once we arrived home, I hurried inside the entrance, not wanting to face my dad, but it was no use. He was hot on my trail.

"Sit down young lady" his voice bounced off of the cave walls. I scoffed and slumped down on the couch, they all stood in a line facing me with looks of judgment.

"Dad please I-"

"Let's start with this" he paused. "What the fuck are you wearing?"

"Clothes?" I mumbled, pulling a face.

"You call that clothes? Are you trying to be funny?"

"It's not that bad!"

"Not that bad? Sienna, if someone was to pull on them laces you'd be butt ass naked!" His voice raising after every word that came out of his mouth.

"Technically no, to be butt ass naked EVERYTHING would need to come of" I smirked. "Besides, what I'm wearing isn't as questionable as what you guys are dressed in constantly"

"Watch it lady!" My mom warned pointing a finger in my direction.

"You might as well be butt ass naked cause I can see your...your...that!" My dad shrieked. He was motioning to my chest area.

"I'm wearing a bra?"

"Not the point!" I groaned and lazily let my head fall back.

"Who was that boy Sienna?" I heard my mom.

"Just some guy that I met when hanging out with Ashley" I admitted.

"Just some guy? So don't really know him and your dancing with him like that?" My dad's yelling wouldn't stop.

"We were dancing, what's the issue?"

"Looks to me like you were ready to fuck him on the dance floor" I heard David snicker, which caused me to let out a little giggle, which soon stopped when my dad glared at me.

"No we wasn't" I watched my dad start to pace back and forth.

"You know, I don't know what's gotten into you lately. You're acting out, you have a terrible attitude problem. You wasn't even this bad when you hit puberty. Now I'm all for a bit of fun and letting your hair down but you...I don't know what you are playing at?"

"Need I remind you I am Seventeen years old. I am old enough to make my own decisions. You don't need to tell me what to do anymore. I'm responsible"

"Responsible? HA!" He started to laugh maniacally. I grew concerned. "Okay little miss responsible. You think you're so grown, you can make your own decisions. Well how about this?"

"Paul no don't. Not yet, not like this!" My mom pleaded. The others snapped their heads towards my dad, an anxious expression.

"No no Lauren you heard the girl! She's old enough"

"Paul think about this for a second" David warned.

"Shut up" Dad spat. "You wanna make decisions, here goes. We all had a little meeting with Max not too long ago. He said you either turn and be one of us or you have to go! So go on big girl, decide on that!" And with that, my dad stormed off to their sleeping area.

I suddenly had nothing to say. Did I hear him right? I looked over at my mom who avoided eye contact with me, a single tear dropped onto her left cheek. My eyes scanned over to the other three, wanting confirmation on what had just been said. But their silence told me all I needed to know. I scoffed and pushed past Dwayne and David heading outside to be alone.

-

I let my legs hang over the cliff, watching the waves collide with the rocks. I never thought Max would give such an ultimatum. He knew when my parents 'adopted" me that I was human so why did he have a problem now? I knew there was a reason I never liked the guy. Asshole. But what did he mean by 'I have to go?' Does that mean he'll kill me. My family wouldn't allow that…surely.

"You'll get cold out here" I rolled my eyes. I didn't need to deal with him right now.

"I'm fine" I replied bluntly.

"Mind if I sit?"

"Do whatever you want, I don't care" I heard shuffling behind me and soon another pair of legs hung off of the cliff next to mine.

"Did Max really say that or is my dad just extremely angry with me?"

"No he said that"

"Why did none of you tell me before?"

"Your mom and dad wanted to tell you when they thought the time was right"

"Oh"

What Max had said no long seemed to bother me. My issue now was once again back with the guy sitting next to me. I sat in deep thought, trying to answer all of the questions I had. I knew he could read my thoughts but I didn't care.

"Cici, talk to me"

"Why?"

"Because I'm your best friend and we talk about everything" he playfully nudged me and I shot him daggers.

"Oh now we're best friends again" I laughed in disbelief, Marko's face dropping.

"Look I know that I've done some shit that may have hurt your feelings but it doesn't mean you need to act like this"

"May have?" I gasped. The audacity. "Why did you do it?"

"Sienna, I don't want to ruin our friendship, I like how we are..well were"

"So why did you ruin it? You came onto me remember"

"Sienna" he sighed and took ahold of my hand. "I don't know what I was thinking that night and I'm sorry. I never…I don't know how to say this without hurting your feelings"

"Just say it!" I didn't mean to yell but it just came out.

"I just don't see us in that way" he admitted. I had never wanted the ground to swallow me up more than right now.

"Cool whatever" I tried to make it seem like I didn't give a fuck, but he saw right through it.

"Who was the kid?"

"Why do you need to know? You don't like me in that way so why would that be any of your business?" I questioned sarcastically.

"I need to know because I care about you" i snatched my hand out of his.

"Like I said it's none of your business" I watched him slowly nod his head. I frowned when he pulled me into him, his arms wrapped tightly around me. I held back my tears as he placed two long kisses on the top of my head.

"Oh Cici" he whispered.
