{In Collaboration w/ royals}
Connor hadn't got much farther when Sienna flagged him down from her town car. He smiled at the girl and made his way through the light crowd on the street to hop into the back seat with her. The smile was present even after he had sat down and glanced down at the response Sydney had sent him. She insinuated that Sienna was the one running the gossip blog and making the malicious posts about people. He obviously valued Sydney a lot, so he couldn't just brush the accusation off as being rubbish, but at the same time, Sienna?! She was one of the sweetest girls he knew. He was aware that she wasn't Charlotte-level sweet because like most girls in her crowd, her claws seemed to come out when provoked, but still. She didn't seem like the type of girl to make such posts about people who were supposed to be her friends.
"Hey! Nice to finally see you," he said as the car rolled off. Between her leaving Sydney's party early and his unexpected leave from New York, he really hadn't had much time to catch up with Sienna after the summer. He was glad to see her. Despite all of this drama and the new skepticism flooding his mind, he liked Sienna. She was fun, exuberant and seemed like a genuine girl. She was obviously enough of a catch to have Vincent sweating whenever in her presence too, so that had to say something. Sienna was beaming when Connor slid into the car and even more so when he first spoke to her. After getting Starbucks from Connor, their time had been limited and she had honestly thought she lost Connor as a friend after the post that will remain unnamed at present. It would have sucked and dam well would have stung, but his willingness to check on Adam with her and actually have a conversation placated Sienna for the moment. She didn't doubt that Connor would take Sydney's side, though. He was practically in love with her anyway, so there wouldn't be much of a surprise there. "Likewise," she replied, and re-crossed legs, taking only a moment to glance back at her phone before returning her attention to Connor.
"So, what's this weird message stuff about? I haven't spoken to Adam in a while, just with all of this craziness going on, so I'm glad we're going to see him. " When he turned the conversation to Adam, the corners of her mouth were pulled down by the weight of her worry. "Yeah, he text me last night, but I don't think he actually meant it to come to me," she admitted and rifled through her phone as they turned a corner she recognized as close to the one Adam lived on. Despite not having hung out in a while, Sienna remembered it very clearly and would do a light jog near the area just to see if she would spot him coming out to confront him. Not like that had ever happened and he seemed adamant about avoiding her, which made her frown deeper. Shaking the thoughts away, she handed the device to Connor, the last message from Adam on display. "Obviously, he thought he was talking to his parents, but...I don't know, I don't get what he meant when he said we'd hate him or that we already know." Sienna bit her lip.
Connor didn't bother to text Sydney back yet, mostly because he didn't know what to say. As he thought about it further, he considered the idea that maybe she was right. He had never heard of any rumors about Sienna on the blog, at least not ones that were this bad. Maybe she had posted the one about Sydney and Vincent in an impulsive, emotion-fueled move, and then later regretted it, deleted the post, and made up the one about Charlotte to try to shift the attention away from them. It made sense that Sienna would be behind the post about Vincent and Sydney since she was the one who had been wronged by that. But why would she create such a vicious and false post about Charlotte? She and Charlotte seemed like great friends, and anyone who even knew Charlotte vaguely would know that a rumor like that would really hurt her. It didn't make sense and Connor didn't know what to believe, but he wasn't going to question Sienna about it when he didn't know the facts. He would have to text Sydney back or maybe even call her later, after visiting Adam, but for now, he just sent a response to Charlotte and Piper.
To: Piper
Yeah, everything's good now lol. Excited for the party :)!
To: Charlotte
Well call me later ok? As long as you're better than last night I think we're good ;)
Two of her close friends were currently going through something, both issues something Sienna wanted to take care of. No, she needed to take care of. And yet, with her unaware if she could convince Tori to get rid of that post of Charlotte and Adam having begun to keep her at a distance, she was unsure of how she could help. If she even could and it made her heart clench. She hated feeling helpless. Taking a shuddering breath, Sienna gazed up at Connor, "With everything that's happening with Lottie and...well, everything else in my life, I...I just really want to make sure Adam's gonna be okay. So, thanks for coming with me, hon." She added the endearment with a small, appreciative smile, but it didn't last and Sienna turned her gaze out the window. They were close now.
Sooner than she anticipated, they were outside of Adam's door. She had gotten her driver to drop them off at the curb and the duo walked up to the door. Sienna sighed and glanced back at Connor, "Hopefully, he answers." Just as she reached for the door, Sienna heard a loud thud. She didn't even look back at Connor, she just jostled the doorknob, only to discover it was left unlocked and shoved the door open only to see Adam on the ground and being held down. Sienna gasped. "Oh my God, what are you doing to him!?"
