SiennaI didn’t even feel my legs. One moment I was in my room at Mum’s house, the next I was bursting through the front door, the cold air slapping my face. My heart was hammering so loudly it drowned out everything else.I barely made it to the gate before I heard Mum behind me.“Sienna!” she called sharply. “Where are you going? What happened?!”I stopped, but only because my body couldn’t keep moving. My chest rose and fell too fast, and when I turned around, the words refused to come out. My throat closed up completely. Tears streamed down my cheeks before I even noticed I was crying.Mum hurried toward me, panic already rising in her eyes.“Sienna, talk to me,” she said, grabbing my arms gently. “What is it? What happened?”I opened my mouth, but all that came out was, “J-Jaxon… Jaxon… Jaxon—”I couldn’t say anything else. His name was breaking apart inside me.Mum’s face changed instantly. She didn’t ask more questions. She just cupped my face with both hands, wiping my tears w

SiennaThe moment the doctor said the words —“Jaxon is Liana’s biological son.”— the entire waiting area turned into a battlefield.Lena screamed again, louder this time, a sound so heart-breaking it cut straight through bone. She lunged toward Liana, not to attack her but in pure confusion and agony.“You’re lying!” she sobbed. “Tell them you’re lying, Liana! Tell them Jaxon is MY baby! TELL THEM!”Liana stepped back, hands shaking. Tears streamed down her cheeks too, but she wasn’t screaming — she was terrified.“Lena, I swear… I don’t know what happened,” she cried. “I don’t know why the test says that. I don’t remember anything! I don’t—”“STOP!” Lena shouted, voice cracking so painfully it made everyone flinch. “Stop saying you don’t know! Stop saying you don’t remember! He was in my stomach! My body! I carried him!”Lena collapsed to the floor again, sobbing into her palms.People were staring now. Nurses rushed forward.A male doctor signaled for security discreetly.The tens

SiennaI barely slept.Jaxon didn’t want to talk anymore that night. He didn’t even want to be touched at first. When I followed him upstairs, he whispered, “I need space. Just tonight.”So I gave him space.I sat in the corner of his room while he lay on his bed staring at the ceiling with dead, empty eyes. I didn’t speak until he whispered, sometime around 3 a.m., barely loud enough for me to hear:“Please don’t leave.”So I crawled onto his bed quietly, lying beside him without touching him, just close enough for him to feel I was there. Eventually, he drifted off, exhausted from crying.And I stayed awake, watching him breathe.Because how could I sleep when the person I loved was breaking?The next morning.The house felt too bright, too loud, too normal for what had happened.I was downstairs helping set the table when I heard footsteps on the stairs. Jaxon appeared at the bottom, hair messy, eyes swollen, walking slowly like the world was too heavy.He tried to smile.It didn’t

SiennaBy the time the sun dipped and the sky turned that deep, purple-blue color, the birthday party had started to slow down. People were dancing, laughing, drinking, but the energy had softened into something warm and easy.Then slowly, one by one, the adults started gathering their things.Lena kissed my forehead again, telling me to get some rest later and not do “too much nonsense,” which made Jaxon laugh behind me. Liana hugged me so tightly I felt her heart beat against mine. My dad squeezed my shoulder gently, smiling at me with that soft look he had been wearing all week.“Happy birthday, baby,” he said. “Enjoy the rest of your night. Just… be wise.”I nodded, even though my heart was already racing.The moment their cars pulled out of the long driveway and disappeared down the quiet road, the entire atmosphere shifted instantly.Ezra clapped loudly.“Okay! Adults gone—REAL PARTY TIME!”Everyone screamed in agreement.Suddenly the music got louder, the lights from the lake h
