Aspyn, who has now returned to her home, walks to her brother's room. Much to her surprise, she heard the voice of a girl behind the closed door. Not just a random girl; it was Chloe, Aspyn's best friend. Or so she thought.

Why would Tyler be with Chloe? They practically hated each other. They never agree on anything, never talk to each other. Questions began to fill Aspyn's head.

She stands behind the door, listening to what was happening with her ear pressed into the vertical wooden surface.

"C'mon, she'll never find out," Chloe's voice speaks. Though Aspyn had no idea as of what was happening, she had an idea; Chloe was trying to use Tyler.

"You know I'm not sure about this," Tyler says. 

Aspyn didn't know what to do. She knew she had to protect her brother, he meant way more to her than Chloe. If chloe was attempting to use her best friend's brother, there was no way she would let it fly.

Aspyn opens the door to her brother room, to see a worried Tyler and a needy Chloe. She was on top of Tyler, straddling him. Tyler sat there, uncomfortably. Aspyn could tell he didn't want what was happening.

"What the hell do you think you're doing to my brother?" Aspyn projects at Chloe, pulling her off Tyler.

"Oh! We were just hanging out," Chloe tries covering up, not wanting Aspyn to know the truth.

"Get out of my house, and if you ever mess with my brother again I swear you'll never hear the end of it," Aspyn says sternly, looking Chloe in the eyes.

The girl who was once Aspyn's best friend timidly removes herself from the room, not saying a word.

"Ty, I'm so sorry," Aspyn says with a worried look on her face. "Are you okay? Did she do anything to you?"

"I'm o-okay," Tyler begins, shakily. "She just tried to kiss me is all," he finishes. He sounds shaken. He had no idea what had just happened was going to happen, he just thought Chloe wanted to hangout.

"Come here," Aspyn says, motioning Tyler towards her for a sisterly hug.

"I'm sorry that happened," Aspyn whispers, rubbing his back in attempt to comfort him.

Tyler lets out small cries on Aspyn's shoulder, terrified from the trauma of not wanting what was happening. He had been close to having a panic attack, his anxiety and other negative emotions were rising as Chloe had done what she was doing.

Aspyn and Tyler stand there, in the middle of his room, hugging for what seemed like an hour, though it was only three minutes.

Tyler wipes his tears from his cheeks, sniffling as he thanks Aspyn again for partially saving him from Chloe.

Aspyn decides it's best to let Tyler get some sleep, so she leaves him in his room with the lights off, and the door almost all the way shut. Just in case.

Aspyn's phone rings, sounding the notification in her earbuds she had plugged in while listening to music.
