Aidan's P.O.V.

I thought that I would be able to cope with it. Really, I did. But the moment I went back to the hotel and saw Serena had taken some of her things and left, everything inside me just shut down. I could barely eat, talk, and get some sleep. The next day came sooner than I had anticipated, and I still felt numb. But it was the time of the week where I would make a live stream for my Patreon.

I didn't want to make them upset by not doing a stream for them, but at the same time, I felt like if I did, and I thought about Serena, I was going to cry, and I did not like crying in front of people, let alone thousands of Patreon followers. "Are you going to do a live stream today, Aidan?" Dad asked at breakfast. "Yeah, I'm going to," I sighed, pushing the small pieces of my breakfast around. I had the stream planned for 3:00 pm, and I had at least a couple of hours to do what I wanted.

I wanted to get out and do some biking to get my mind off of things, but every time I tried to do something, my muscles would come to a screeching halt and prevent me from doing anything. So, I laid down on my bed and scrolled through my Instagram tried talking to some of the other cast, hoping that Serena and the younger cast hadn't told them about what happened at the pool.

Unfortunately, word had gotten out about it to the other cast members, and almost everyone did not want to talk to me. There was only one person who I could talk to who didn't push me away, and that was Elliot.

Elliot

Aidan: Hey, can we talk? Please don't tell me that you're mad as well.

Elliot: I'm not mad. Why would you think that? Is something going on?

Sorry, I don't check my Instagram much.

Aidan: Yeah, something happened between Serena and me, and it wasn't good.

Elliot: Oh no, do you want to talk about it?

Aidan: Yes, I need to tell the truth to somebody that'll listen.

Elliot: I'm all ears.

Aidan: Me, Serena, and the younger cast went to the rec center yesterday, and when she left for the bathroom, Eden came up, and she started talking, and then she kissed me. Serena saw it, and you can guess what happened next.

Elliot: Oh my. I don't mean to sound rude, but did you kiss Eden?

Aidan: No, I did not. She kissed me. I didn't kiss her back. I tried explaining that to Serena, but she wouldn't listen. And now, I don't know how to get her back.

Elliot: I'm not the best with this kind of thing, but all I can advise for you to do is give her some space for a while, and when the dust settles, talk to her.

Aidan: Hopefully, that'll help. Thanks.

Elliot: Np.

Talking to Elliot and getting some advice made me feel a little better, but I still felt numb. After a while, I saw a post on Cameron's Instagram. I was surprised that I wasn't blocked from his account like I was from the other younger cast's accounts. And my eyes widened when I saw his newest post.

cameronbrodeur: Special thanks to SereneCinderella for recommending I try the chocolate froyo at Hank's Froyo! It's fun hanging out with you!

SereneCinderella: No problem Cam! Nice hanging out with you too!

User1: Hold up, I thought she was dating Aidan!

blaketalabis: That's giving me a case of the munchies!

User2: User1, I was thinking the same thing! Did they break up or something?

VanessaYoung.Aidan'sarmy: Serena, text me pls!

tjmcgibbon: User2, No, they did not. Nothing wrong with having friends who are boys. :)

I had a feeling that the post was going to cause some rumors to go around, even if T.J tried to play it off like they were hanging out when all of the cast knew the truth. I looked over to the clock resting on my bedside table, and I saw it was almost 3:00, and I had to get ready for the stream. Hopefully, people don't ask about the rumor.
