Episode 1: First Text
Hi Author here I will be narrating bits and pieces of the story. So nothing are texts.
( ) means thoughts
{ } means conversations
[ ] means actions
This story may be cringe, dramatic or angst. But I will try to keep it down as much as possible. Swearing present.
POV: The bully Austin is a handsome white haired boy and his victim is the nerdy typical boy named Sean. Sean had enough and decided to create a fake social media to try and break Austin's heart after making him fall in love with his virtual alter ego.
Austin Stan
Hello, Who may you be?
Seina Denberg
Call me a witch for now.
Seina Denberg
No don't leave. I am Siena.
Austin Stan
Ok Siena, what do you want?
Seina Denberg
I just wanted to be your friend. I am very lonely. You seemed nice.
Austin Stan
You sound like a w***e
Seina Denberg
No I didn't mean it like that. I just wanna be friends
Austin Stan
I don't want to be friends
Austin Stan
You are very suspicious.
POV: In his bedroom of his large mansion, Austin throws the phone on the bed and sits in the corner as shouting is heard in the corner.
POV: Sean is in his bedroom too. Frustrated he decided to ignore and walk away. His mother called him for dinner.
POV: Austin is curled in room as he hears more shouts and screams. He never opened up to his friends in fear they may pity him or tease him. He needed someone. Someone who didn't know him much.
POV: He picks up his phone to text the mysterious stranger
Austin Stan
Hi, Uh.. Sorry for earlier
Austin Stan
I wasn't in a good mood
POV: Sean heard a ping and jumped at its sound. He looked at the phone. The great Austin saying sorry, something was definitely wrong.
Seina Denberg
Oh, Hi again
Seina Denberg
Why were you in a bad mood? Did someone tease you? 😜
Austin Stan
(Bitter) No, nobody teased me. Rather, my parents are fighting.
Seina Denberg
(Oh God, that is terrible.) I am very sorry. Why are they fighting?
Austin Stan
I would rather not say.
Seina Denberg
It's okay, I won't force you
Austin Stan
So tell me about yourself
Seina Denberg
Well I study at St.Josephs. I have a sister and a brother. My sister is younger than me. My twin is an introvert.
Austin Stan
Oh, I study at Jean Davis School. I am a single child.
Seina Denberg
That's great
Some more time passes, they talk about general things like their favorite colour, hobbies, etc.
Seina Denberg
Haha, you're funny 😆
Seina Denberg
Are you feeling better now?
Austin Stan
Yes, much better. Thank you
Seina Denberg
Well I gotta go sleep. Good night. 😴 🥱
POV: Austin keeps his phone down. He had never felt this real with anyone before.
Austin Stan
{So this is a true friend}
Episode 2: Austin
Okay instead of writing POV each and every time. I will just write it once and then it's 3rd person POV unless mentioned.
Austin POV
For now all of these are conversations not texts
Austin Stan
[Wakes up and checks phone]
Nothing at all. Did she forget about me.
A ping pops up and he smiled at it. It was Siena. She messaged him Good Morning. He texted her back and went to take a bath. After bathing he comes out to dress up in his uniform.
Austin's Father (Sebastián Stan)
Good Morning son
Austin Stan
Good morning Sir
Austin's Stepmother(Sora Stan/Furey)
Good morning Austin dear.
Austin Stan
Good morning Mother.
Austin's Father (Sebastián Stan)
(What a brat)
Austin's Father (Sebastián Stan)
(How does she become his mother when they aren't related by blood)
Father's Girlfriend(Jessica Franklin)
Darling...Good morning
Austin's Father (Sebastián Stan)
Good morning sweetie
Austin's Stepmother(Sora Stan/Furey)
[Unbothered]
Father's Girlfriend(Jessica Franklin)
Hello Amy, nice morning isn't it?
Austin's Stepmother(Sora Stan/Furey)
It is a wonderful morning Julia.
Father's Girlfriend(Jessica Franklin)
Oh dear, could you try to be cold to your husband's future wife?
Austin's Stepmother(Sora Stan/Furey)
It is not my place to be cold to you. My husband is the one at fault. A playboy and a w***e, quite the devilish pair isn't it?
Austin Stan
[Silent and disappointed]
Father's Girlfriend(Jessica Franklin)
Oh shut up b***h
Austin's Father (Sebastián Stan)
Calm down sweetie, she will disappear after I divorce her.
Austin's Stepmother(Sora Stan/Furey)
(I don't mind a divorce. I am more worried for Austin.)
Austin Stan
[Silenty eats breakfast and leaves for School]
Reaching school Austin meets his friends, Fritz and Verion. Two sly people who do not care about Austin, rather they care about his money.
Fritz Jerome
Hey there is my boy
Verion Furtado
Heyo Brother
Austin Stan
[Fake smile] How are you two?
Verion Furtado
I got a girlfriend
Fritz Jerome
Whoa seriously dude? Before me? Why??
Austin Stan
(God why am I hanging out with them?)
Verion Furtado
Dude there is Sean
Austin Stan
(Sean, this black haired nerd has been on my nerves since middle school. Those ridiculously large glasses scream 'nerd'. I wouldn't have hated him if he just didn't win that competition.)
Fritz Jerome
Let's go bully him shall we?
Austin Stan
Sure let's go.
The three of them move towards Sean. They weren't extremists, they teased, maybe hit his back but never more. Austin was angry. He wanted to vent it out as soon as possible.
Sean Denberg
(They are coming here. Shit what do I do?)
Austin Stan
Hey Sean, nice to see you
Sean Denberg
(Please don't hurt me)
Fritz Jerome
No you dumbass, meet us after school.
Verion Furtado
[Hits Sean's back]
Sean Denberg
[Pushes glasses upwards]
Sean Denberg
[Tries to sneak out]
Verion Furtado
[Catches him]
Sean Denberg
I was just coming after saying hi to my friend.[Akward Smile]
Fritz Jerome
You don't even have friends
Verion Furtado
Now come with us
Fritz Jerome
[Drags Sean to where Austin is]
Austin Stan
Loser have you got something for me?
Sean Denberg
Yes..yes[Grumbles]
Sean Denberg
[Takes out three bags of chips, fizzy drinks and boxes of snacks]
Fritz Jerome
[Hits Sean] That's it where are the cigarettes hah!??!
Verion Furtado
We don't need this. We need cigarettes.
Sean Denberg
There wasn't any left
Fritz Jerome
Liar, you never bought it
Verion Furtado
Lazy Dumbass
Austin Stan
[Silently watching]
Austin Stan
[Shook because they were never violent on Sean or anyone in front of him]
Verion Furtado
[Kicks Sean]
Austin Stan
Let's go. It's getting late. (Will he be okay?)
Verion Furtado
Don't leave me hanging Fritz
Sean is brutally injured. Bruised and cuts made from his attackers. His glasses were broken yet stayed hanging to his face. He would have walked home as soon as they left, but was too tired and passed out.
Austin Stan
Don't you think you were too violent?
Fritz Jerome
Nah bro, I do this when you are usually not around.
Verion Furtado
I think Austin is right, I have never been this violent before.
Fritz Jerome
Sucks to be a loser like him.
Verion Furtado
Still we took it too far
Fritz Jerome
No we did nothing wrong. You know what you have gone soft because of your girlfriend.
Verion Furtado
Why are you bringing my girlfriend into this?
The continuous bickering irritated Austin and he left. He felt guilty hence walked towards the place where they had beaten up Sean.
Austin Stan
[Looks for Sean]
Austin Stan
[Finds him passed out]
Austin Stan
[Walks towards him and pitied him]
Austin Stan
His glasses must be in the way
Austin Stan
[Takes it off]
Austin Stan
(Woah..He looks good without glasses 😳)
Austin Stan
Let's take you to the hospital
Austin picks Sean on his back and walks away.
Episode 3: Sean
So this is again another conversation type so no use of { }
Austin takes Sean to a small hospital. He pays for the treatment. Then he gets a call from Sean's mother.
Sean's Mother (Judy Denberg)
Sean?? Where are you?
Austin Stan
Good evening ma'am, I am Sean's classmate, he is staying over at my house for a project. He is currently asleep.
Sean's Mother (Judy Denberg)
Oh okay. Please tell him to call back later.
Austin Stan
You're in a hospital
Sean Denberg
[Shivers] What are you doing here?
Austin Stan
I brought you here
Sean Denberg
Why? To see how miserable I am.
Austin Stan
No, it is just out of pity. Don't expect anything more. You could also sue me for harassment, I don't want that.
Austin Stan
So uh, why do you wear glasses? You can wear contacts. You look good without them.
Sean Denberg
(What is he trying to do??)
Sean Denberg
Yeah, I don't like attention. If being good looking grabs attention, no thanks.
Austin Stan
[Smiles slightly] Your mother called. I didn't tell her about your situation. I just told her you are staying over at my place for a project.
Sean Denberg
Oh how thoughtful [Sarcastic]
Austin Stan
Call her later she wanted to talk to you.
Sean Denberg
Oh okay. Thanks.
Austin Stan
I will go home then.
Sean Denberg
Yeah thanks, even though you did this for yourself.
Austin goes home and Sean stays at the hospital. Sean decides to leave at around midnight to make his story more believable. Bored he starts to text Austin as Siena.
Austin Stan
(Ah Someone I can openly up to)
Seina Denberg
How was your day today?
Austin Stan
Not that great.
Seina Denberg
Same here. What happened?
Austin Stan
There is this boy, Sean. I don't like him very much. He irritates me.
Austin Stan
He won a competition.
Seina Denberg
Competition?!
Austin Stan
Yes, a creative writing competition we had when we were little.
Seina Denberg
So you hold a grudge against him since then because he won?
Seina Denberg
That's childish don't you think?
Austin Stan
(If only you knew the price I had to pay for the loss.)
Austin Stan
Yes so I don't hit him.
Seina Denberg
(Liar you do)
Seina Denberg
Wait you hit him?
Seina Denberg
You bully him. You bully people?!!
Seina Denberg
I am highly disgusted by this act of yours
Austin Stan
Sometimes I feel ashamed of myself too but I have gone so far, I cannot return.
Seina Denberg
(Liar you enjoy it, don't you?)
Seina Denberg
How do I trust you?
Austin Stan
Please trust me, I wouldn't lie to you. You're my only true friend.
Seina Denberg
(How ironic)
Seina Denberg
Fine, Prove it.
Seina Denberg
Send you messages, pictures, etc.
Austin Stan
Fine I will try.
Seina Denberg
(Let's see how this plays out)
Both Sean and Austin are thinking about their conversation. Sean is wondering if Austin was going to be genuine or not. While Austin is questioning why he was doing this for a stranger.
Austin Stan
{ Why am I doing this for her? }
Austin Stan
{ I don't even know her. }
Austin Stan
{ I do feel guilty after today's incident. }
Austin Stan
(Maybe I should use this as an excuse to get things better with Sean.)
Sean had thought about it on his way back home. Slowly entering his room, he sat down on the bed.
Sean Denberg
(Why did he promise that?)
Sean Denberg
(To someone random moreover?)
Sean Denberg
[Looks at photo on his desk]
Sean Denberg
{ Ah Seina, I wish you were here. }
Sean looks at the picture of his young 30 year old mother holding her newborn daughter and her older twins surrounding her. They were around 7 years old in the picture. He has a flashback to the past.
Seina Denberg
Sean, let's go see the baby please.
Sean Denberg
Wait Seina, they will call us.
Doctor
Go on kids see your mother.
Seina Denberg
[Runs into the room]
Nurse 1
Poor lady. She has three mouths to feed all alone.
Nurse 2
What a a**hole of a husband. Men always take what they want and leave.
Doctor
Ladies do your job. Go on. Shoo.
Doctor
[Looks at Sean with pitiful eyes]
Doctor
Let's go see your sister.
Sean's Mother (Judy Denberg)
Come here Sean, hold her.
Sean's Mother (Judy Denberg)
[Transfers the newborn from Seina to Sean]
Sean Denberg
[Smiles delicately] Hey there little one. I am your brother.
Seina and their mother smiled sadly. Her husband, if you would call him her husband had run away as he could not handle kids.
The children's father was a man their mother had studied with. When she got pregnant for the first time, he never knew as he had moved away to Indonesia for his job.
When he returned, he fell in love with her again. He got her pregnant again without checking her background.
That's when she told him about his twins and that she was pregnant again.
He couldn't handle it and carry the weight and ran off like a coward.
Seina Denberg
What should we name her?
Sean's Mother (Judy Denberg)
I was thinking of Shiloh
Seina Denberg
That's a wonderful name.
Sean's Mother (Judy Denberg)
Shiloh Denberg it is then.
The family smiled as the baby giggled.
A trail of tears slid down Sean's cheek reminiscent of his twins smile.
