house is on fire, u can only save one: iker, astrid, filo, anaïs

     “  i’d save iker. ” mia answers easily, undeterred by common sentimentality or whatever threat of consequence might come from it. because it’s a game, and she knows it. and she knows this game has no true right answers anyway, but if there were one, iker’s as good a guarantee as any. @euiker @astrideu @eufilo @euanais

ustrids‌:

the  party  was  a  good  distraction  for  her  .  but  recently,  astrid’s  come  to  realize  that  distractions,  as  fun  as  they  are,  are  just  temporary  fixes  .  and  that  once  the  music  stops,  it’s  just  10  steps  backwards  for  everyone  involved  .  but  she  won’t  say  that          ⏤          not  when  sirena  seems  so  pleased,  so  optimistic  that  their  summer  is  back  on  track  .  she  doesn’t  want  to  crush  it  .  it’s  certainly  a  nice  thought,  and  she’s  flattered  that  sirena  thinks  she  has  the  capacity  to  be  that  strong,  but  it  simply  isn’t  true  .  certainly  not  after  the  hard  grab  of  reality  she  experienced  early  this  morning  .          “          oh,  did  i  forget  to  mention  that  part  ?          ”          since  returning  to  their  shared  room,  astrid’s  been  playing  her  conversation  with  harry  over  and  over  in  her  head          ⏤          totally  spaced  out  from  the  present  .  and  sometimes  she  forgets  that  sirena  can’t  actually  read  her  mind,  even  though  it  often  seems  like  she  can  .          “          i  did  .  well,  i  more  accidentally  screamed  it  at  him  .  and  then  he  said  all  the  right  things,  of  course  .  so  .          ”          she  shrugs,  picking  at  her  split  ends  .  god,  she  needs  a  haircut  .          “          there’s  that  .          ”         

sirena had to act surprised, obviously, but she made sure not to over do it. “uh, yeah! you kind of forgot the mention that very important detail, babe.” she shakes her head with a quick laugh, wondering just exactly what was going on inside that head of hers. “screamed at him, sounds like a reasonable thing to do,” she approves with a small nod. sirena tried to play out the meeting in her head, trying to picture harry laying near the beach and astrid letting all the pain she’s been feeling explode from within her. as positive as she was trying to stay in hopes to move on from this whole fucking mess, seeing astrid still so broken didn’t make her guilt any easier to live with. “mm, i bet he did,” she hums when astrid speaks of the boy saying all the right things. “he may be an jerk, but that doesn’t mean he’s going to leave you to deal with this by yourself. if he’s willing to help, and wants to be there for you, maybe this could be a good opportunity for you both to talk things out and find a common ground. maybe this could all be a blessing in disguise.” sirena can’t help but laugh at herself for a moment, “or maybe i’m just being way too optimistic for my own fucking good, but hey, that’s what i’m here for, right?”

⧾ ⊹ * ♦︎╰ closed starter for @ustrids​​ ​ ╯// to be honest, sirena wasn’t surprised that astrid ended up going to check on harry when he never returned to the house the following night. it’s hard to throw away caring for someone when you’ve done so for five years. sadly this meant sirena couldn’t get mad at the boy for not giving the girl her space, seeing as she came to him and not the other way around. for now, sirena just wanted to do her best to help astrid feel a bit more safe and secure. her arms were wrapped lovingly around the other, letting astrid rest her head on her shoulder as the two cuddled in closely. delicate fingers trace through astrid’s messy locks, helping them become smooth once again. they sat in silence for a little while, mainly so astrid had time to collect her thoughts and speak about whatever might have happened upon the beach. “well, i guess the bad news is this means harry didn’t get eaten by a shark like i wanted him to,” she teased in hopes it might crack a smile on the other’s face.

⧾ ⊹ * ♦︎╰  closed starter for @ustrids​​ ╯// today was the day that sirena’s life would change forever. barely getting any sleep the night before, her stomach is now churning with all the nerves that’s been building up inside her, feeling like she could puke any second now. she knew she didn’t have to do this, that she could simply keep this secret to herself forever and learn to live with the guilt she has to hide for the rest of her life. a part of her was trying to convince herself to do just that, to listen to harry and just keep quiet. sadly, the right thing was never the easiest thing to do. so here she was, standing in front of her own bedroom door, feeling like a criminal that was about to pled guilty in front of the entire court. taking a deep breath, she opens the door and gives astrid a small smile as she walks in. “hey beautiful. you got a minute?”

it was rare for sirena to ever pull herself completely away from her group of friends. having alone time was dangerous for a girl with a mind like her, but there was someone she needed to call and talk to for a little while. grabbing her phone, she heads out to sit upon the sandy beach, her toes curling into the cool sand as the sea breeze makes her hair dance around her. putting in her airpods, she dials the number she knows by heart, and waits for the other to pick up. “my sweet rose,” her mother greets with a small yawn afterwards. “hey mom,” sirena greets back with a small smile. “did i wake you up?”

“yeah, but you’re fine. i need to get my lazy ass up anyways,” she teases. though it was later in the evening here in myrtle beach, it was morning time in japan where her mother was staying for the time being. the woman has almost been to every country in the world, sirena thinks, but she knows her mom loves japan. it’s bright, colorful, loud, busy, and there’s always something to do. she says it’s like a whole different world over there, and rena hopes one day she can visit it with her mom. “how’s your summer going so far? everything good with the s club?” she can’t help but chuckle slightly at her moms words, because while there were good things going on, there were also problems that she had no idea how to handle as well. “i may or may not have a boyfriend this summer,” she admits with a bashful smile. “oh my gosh, sirena rose, that’s amazing! i never thought i’d live to see the day,” she teases with an excited laugh. “baby, that’s awesome. what’s his name? is he cute? does he actually know how to get a woman off in bed?” 

sirena can’t help but burst out in laughter at her mother’s questions. the woman was never shy to ask any and all questions, and it’s what she cherished so much about their relationship. she could talk to her mom about anything and everything with no judgement, unlike her father. “you remember luca? blonde, shaggy hair, super tall, beautiful blue eyes, writes music?” “is that the one you had a summer fling with once?” “that’s the one.” “well i suppose that answers all my questions, huh? surely you wouldn’t go back to him if he wasn’t good,” she snickers which causes a playful eye roll from sirena. “so does this mean you’ve finally moved on from harry?” 

rena grows silent to this question, unsure of how to answer it without sounding like a complete idiot. “yes and no,” she finally answers with a small sigh. “i mean, i truly care about luca, and i’m honestly super excited to be with him. like, when we’re together, he’s all i can focus on and think about. the minute i’m left by myself though, all i can think about is how i know our relationship won’t last. once he finds out what i did to astrid, i know he’ll cut things off, even if i didn’t cheat on him. he’ll side with astrid in a heartbeat, and i’ll be left alone again.” silence falls between the two again, and she knows her mother is simply waiting for the girl to continue. she knows there’s more to her worries, but she’s patient and gives her daughter some time to collect her thoughts. 

“maybe that’s why a part of me still wants harry,” she admits with a shrug. “because i feel he’s the only person i deserve now.” there’s a small scoff that leaves her lips, “why do i still sort of want him, mom? he was never mine to begin with, yet i’m acting like i’m the one going through a break up and not astrid. how fucking selfish is that?” “sweetie, it’s not selfish,” her mother begins. “you fell pretty hard for harry, i remember you talking about him a lot. i don’t think you ever gave yourself time to heal from him choosing astrid. you tried to hard to maintain the old friendship you had with him, but you have to realize that things aren’t going to be the same between you two, and you have to do what’s best for not only you, but for everyone involved as well.” 

“you’re saying i should cut harry out?” sirena asked, terrified of the answer her mother was going to give. “not forever,” she answers, which was a one rena could possibly work with. “but trying to act like everything is going to be okay between you two is only going to make things worse, rena. i know you can’t be vocal about your heartbreak, but maybe ali can be there for you like you’ve been there for astrid.” her mother made it sound so easy, like it was actually possible. maybe it was. maybe now that she had luca, she could finally, and truly, give her heart to someone who would reciprocate it now. “astrid’s pregnant, mom,” sirena blurts out with a cracked voice. “then maybe it’s for the best to keep this secret under lock and key for just a little while longer, hm? right now, she needs her best friend, even if it might be hard for you to endure.” 

“yeah,” was all she could manage to say before a few tears began to trickle down her face. “i miss you, mom.” “i miss you too, my sweet rose. i’ll come visit you before the summer’s up. be sure to keep me updated on astrid as well, okay?” “i will, i promise.” “i love you, sirena. you’re so strong and have such a big heart. i promise this pain won’t last forever.” “i love you too, mom. thank you.” they exchanged a few more words, mainly her mother telling sirena to give her love to the boys, and also to keep her updated on her first ever relationship with someone. once the two finally parted ways, all sirena could do was pull her knees up to her chest and let the few tears silently roll down her cheeks, her eyes watching the sun set below the horizon, before heading back to the villa with her practiced smile.

⧾ ⊹ * ♦︎╰ closed starter for @ustrids​ ╯// sirena knew this summer was going to be the hardest one to endure due to the secret she was keeping from her best friend. having to hide what she knew and how she felt from the one person she told everything too was nearly impossible. so, she tried her best to focus on making sure astrid had an amazing summer, despite everything she was feeling in this moment. “you are not going to just lay in this bed the whole summer, astrid, i mean it.” rena was looking through her suitcase for the cutest little bikini for astrid to wear, “we’re gonna get you in something that will make all the boys drool and you’re gonna enjoy yourself. ooh, maybe you can wear one of my bikini’s that basically shows off your whole ass! you’d look so delicious,” she teased with a light laugh.

⧾ ⊹ * ♦︎╰ closed starter for @ustrids​​ ╯// sirena was finally starting to feel like herself again. while there was still the problem with miguel and not knowing where the band stood, she still felt like her life was moving forward. opening up to stassi honestly helped her in a lot of ways, and she was confident that this time would be the official end to her and harry. all she wanted to do was explore this connection she had with luca, and that’s exactly what she was going to do. for once she actually felt like getting ready for the day and getting herself all dolled up. searching through the drawers for her favorite matching bar and panties matching set, she began to rummage around and happened upon something that told her today was officially take a hard left from what she had in mind. she didn’t really have much time to think before astrid came into the room, and rena simply acted on impulse. she grabbed the box from the dresser and quickly grabbed astrid as well, pulling the two into the bathroom and shutting the door behind them, “not to be that friend that gets all up in your business, but would you like to explain this to me?” she holds up the pregnancy test with curious eyes. “cause i know it’s not mine.”
