9. A Familiar Face

There were a few knocks on the door. Ashton looked weirdly at Tyler who got up to open it. Tyler knew exactly who it was because he had been expecting him. When the door was opened, the same dark-haired tanned boy stood there. The guy from the party, off course Tyler didn't knew anything about this. To him Calum was just another good mate he had met on campus.

Ashton had graduated a year ago so Tyler was forced to find new friends at his college. He had met Calum at soccer try-outs, Tyler didn't want to play soccer but he wanted the brotherhood of a team. Calum was on his second year making him twenty-one and Tyler was finishing up with only one year left.

Ashton saw the boy appear in the room. He knew who he was they had after all drank a beer once or maybe even twice.

"It's really hot in this house do you not own air-condition?" Calum said feeling his clothes sticking to his body. He pulled the grey sweater he was wearing over his head and accidentally managed to get his white t-shirt pulled with it. His bare back was exposed for a good eight seconds.

"What have you been up to lately?" Ashton said pointing to Calum's back. He turned around in the mirror and saw a long scratch mark. The memory of the hook-up came to mind and he was being flooded with feelings.         

"Okay Calum you into rough sex or something?" Tyler said placing three beers on the coffee table. Calum laughed.

"Oh that's just ... She was amazing though. I want to call her up so we can relieve it once again." A smile spread across his face as he pictured Lia in his bed.

"You sound like a fucking dork but that's great dude." Tyler said padding his shoulder.

"Tyler you've got to stop leaving your stuff in my room." Speaking of the devil the young girl walked into the living room. She scanned the two familiar faces and stopped as she spotted a third person. Well shit. It was Calum from the other night.

"Hello I'm Lia you must be one of Tyler's friends, nice to meet you." She stretched out her hand. The dark-haired boy grabbed it and shook it confused. Had she really forgotten about him? Was he that bad? It honestly hurt him. The fact that she didn't seem to recall a thing when he wasn't able to get her out of his mind.
"I'm Calum." He had an awkward crooked smile on his face. Was it sadness she spotted in his eyes?

"Hey Calum I haven't even told you about this one yet." Calum's mind went blank as Tyler spoke up. No way he had fucked his mates girlfriend and on top of that gotten feelings for her. "This is kiddo also known as my little sister." Calum's heart started beating again. He had just survived a heart attack.

"Lovely it's nice to meet you Lia." He smiled at her exposing his pearly white teeth. That was Calum in a nutshell always trying to charm his way in.

"Lay off my sister she is only sixteen." Tyler said in a playful tone but being serious about the 'laying off' part.

Calum's mouth opened up slightly as he took in Tyler's words. Sixteen as in a minor? As in, he had sex with a minor. That's illegal that is very much illegal. Fuck, shit, dick was just some of the bad words that was going through Calum's mind. No he didn't. he didn't fuck a sixteen year old that's messed up. He didn't do that. Calum was in denial and too busy processing everything that had happened.

"Anyway nice to meet you Calum." Lia rushed up the stairs to her room. She knew from Calum's facial expression that he had fucked up. It wasn't his fault, well it wasn't entirely his fault. She never informed about her age but he never asked. Was it even that bad? Surely it couldn't be. It wasn't rape and she enjoyed it. He didn't push her to do anything she didn't want to. This was going to stay between the two of them forever. She couldn't tell anybody not even Zoe.

"Your sister is only sixteen?" Calum exclaimed confused. Tyler nodded. A rush of worry flooded Calum as the memory of their hook-up came to mind. He knew it wasn't right but sixteen was horrible. He had thought she was older. She appeared to be older especially when they got in bed. Maybe she was just very mature for her age but that still didn't justify what had happened. He prayed that she wasn't a virgin, prayed that he hadn't taken her virginity. The thought of her losing her v-card at a frat party broke Calum's heart. He was a stressed man at the moment. This new information wasn't good at all.

Calum wasn't alone because Ashton was battling with some thoughts concerning the same girl. He thought about the incident yesterday and how he found himself attracted to the young girl. Maybe she wasn't the little innocent girl anymore, perhaps she was a young woman now. The thought of that scared Ashton, no it terrified him. Seeing her walking around in her skimpy outfits made him crazy. He wanted to tie her to the bed and fuck her brains out. However when these thoughts popped into his head he was disgusted by himself. She was 16 years old for heaven's sake. Even if the opportunity presented itself, he wouldn't be able to do it to Tyler.

Tyler sat in the middle on the couch not knowing anything about the two very pressured boys next to him. He was honestly clueless. He hadn't noticed anything changing and hadn't caught the stares Ashton was giving his little sister. He didn't know that his perception of her had changed because Tyler's hadn't. He still saw her as his kid sister. He picked her up and dropped her off at Zoe's place just like he did when she was thirteen.
They still had movie nights where they made popcorn and shared a blanket. He would nudge her head whenever she said something silly thereby messing up her hair. She hadn't changed and their relationship sure hadn't either. They were still close as ever.
She talked to boys now but that wasn't anything huge. She was a very social person and liked to interact with new people.

But when he really thought about it one thing had as a matter of fact changed. When she was younger, Tyler felt the need to protect her and always make sure that she was okay. It wasn't like he didn't care now he just knew that she was able to handle it by herself and if she needed help he would be by her side in a heartbeat. He gave her space to grow and now she had become strong. She was independent and he was proud of that. Tyler felt a little smile creep up on his lips.
