I watched as Charlie ran up the stairs.

I was not completely surprised by his question, he was just trying to protect his little sister.

I slid my chair out and followed her up the stairs.

I heard her parents and brother start arguing back and forth as I rushed up the stairs and into her room.

"Charlie?" I whispered into the silent room.

I heard no response.

I pushed open the door the rest of the way.

She was sitting on the bed rubbing her eyes.

"You okay?" I whispered sitting down on the bed and placing my hand on her shoulder.

She nodded and turned to face me.

"I'm sorry." She softly muttered.

I noticed her voice was cracked.

"Why are you sorry?" I asked pulling her into a tight hug against my chest.

"For running off like that, I was just upset." She said placing her head on my shoulder.

I released her from my grip and she said up on the bed.

"You shouldn't be mad at your brother. Look at it from his position; you're his little sister who just brought home this guy who doesn't seem like a nice guy and he's just trying to protect you." I said.

"You seem like a nice guy." She said as serious as she can.

I laughed.

"Well you know that because you know me." I said

"He doesn't know me yet." I told her.

"I was just upset that he would accuse you of doing that." She said

I shrugged.

"I'm fine with it." I said.

I actually meant it he was protected her and I would have probably done the same exact thing.

"I thought you wouldn't want to talk to me again after that." She said.

"Why?" I asked most likely coming out too loud.

"Because you come to my house and you get accused of taking my virginity." She sighed.

"Can you make me a promise?" I asked sitting cross legged on the bed.

She nodded and sat in front of me.

"Promise me that you will always be my best friend?" I asked.

She smiled.

"As long as you do the same." She said.

"Done." I said and I twisted my pinky around hers.

"Pinky promise?"

"Pinky promise." She said.

"Do you want to go back down?" I asked her.

"No." She replied and placed her head on my chest.

I wrapped my arms around her and for the next half hour, I laid down with my best friend in my arms and there was nothing I would change about it.

-I really want a guy best friend tbh-
