The Loverboy

He did what? *Rowan's POV*

I was sitting at the kitchen table doing homework. Since nobody was home, I was also singing, something I never did around other people. It was a secret gift. I shut my mouth as I heard somebody walk in the door. It was probably Tyler.

"Hi, Ty" I said, as I walked into the living room to greet him. "Hey" he mumbled. "Why are you mumbling?" I said as i went to go turn on a light. It was way too dark in here for my liking. I was horrified when I turned around.

I rushed over to Ty and looked at his face. His left eye was completely swollen. "Tyler what happened to you?!" I asked, terrified. "Nothing, Ro. It's nothing. Chill." He said. "If it's nothing then why is it such a big deal not to tell me? I'm your sister!"

"Yeah, exactly. I can't just come home crying to my older sister I'm sixteen." He argued. "Ty, you gotta tell me how you got this. Would you rather explain it to me, or mom and dad?" I negotiated.

He sighed loud and long. "fiiiiinnnneeeee" He groaned. "I was walking down the hall and a guy pushed me up against a locker and punched me and left" He explained. Why would anybody do something so rude?

"Who did this to you?" I asked, concerned. "I don't know" he said. I could tell he was lying. I knew him too well. "Are you embarrassed to tell me?" I asked "I guess" He said.

"Well then you don't have to tell me. I completely understand, bro" I said, giving him a hug. I walked into the kitchen to help my mum out and make dinner. As I put the shepherd's pie in the oven, Tyler walked in.

"Ty please let me get some ice for you" I insisted. I handed him an ice pack and he put it on his eye. "I think I trust you enough to tell you who hit me"he said. "You don't have to" I said, not looking up from what I was doing. "Please don't freak out" he begged. "I won't little bro, I'm not a weirdo." I reassured. He snorted.

"It was Ashton."
