Aaron's POV

I decided to walk home. I was so fed up with Jack and all his bullshit. How could he hurt my sister like that? She's been through enough as it is, she doesn't need him destroying her life.

I ran up the front porch stairs and unlocked the door. Our parents weren't home yet they usually get home late, so it was just Sydney and I. I dropped my bag on the couch and ran up to her room. Her door was locked, so I quickly went to my room and grabbed a paper clip, to unlock her door. I slowly opened her door and her bathroom door was shut. I quickly ran to her door. I know exactly what she's doing in there and it's not good. I pushed open the door to find her sitting on the floor with a razor in her hand. She was still clean. I quickly grabbed the razor from her hand and placed it on the sink counter. Her mascara was smudged across her cheeks. I carefully picked her up and brought her to my room. I placed her on my bed and wiped her cheeks.

"I'm sorry, Sydney, I really am." I said, softly.

"He's a fucking asshole, Aaron! He ruined my life in the worse way possible. It's bad enough I've been bullied all my life, now I have to face rumors about me that aren't true. My own friends don't even believe that it's not true." I watched her, as tears started to pour down her face.

"I called Jack Johnson earlier. He wants to see you and make sure you're okay." I said, pulling her into a hug.

Yeah, my sister and I get into fights but that doesn't mean I don't love her. If someone hurts her, I'm going to protect her. She's the only little sister I have to protect. As a brother, I'm suppose to be here for her at all times. Sometimes she might not want to talk about things, but she opens up eventually. She doesn't deserve any of this. She's too sweet to have her heart broken like this.

"Thank you, Aaron." She said, hugging me tightly.

The doorbell rang and I slowly got up.

"Stay here." I told her.

She nodded and sat down on the bed.

Sydney's POV

I waited there quietly. JJ was one of my closest guy friends. I know he hates being called JJ but he lets me call him that because I've known him for so long. He always made sure I was okay. He was kinda like another Aaron, to be honest. My parents basically call him family. He's like another brother to me. He never was rude to me. Yes, we've had our little arguments but we can't be mad at each other for long periods of time, because it just doesn't work like that.

"Sydney! Oh my gosh come here!"Jj storms into my room and pulls me into a tight hug.

"I was so worried about you today, with all those nasty rumors created by that asshole. I can't believe he would even do that to you. I'm going to talk to him and Sam separately, don't worry, I'll make sure they treat you right." JJ says, still hugging me.

He was so sweet and caring. I honestly don't know what I would do without him.

"Thank you, JJ." I said, burying my face in his chest.

He picked me up but then put me down quickly.

"You're really light, have you been eating?" he looked into my eyes nervously.

I starred at the ground, trying not to make eye contact. I have been eating, just not as much as I use to. When in nervous or scared, I don't eat a lot.

"I do, it's just, when I'm nervous or scared, I don't eat as much as I normally would, I lose my appetite." I said, and he nodded.

He picked me up again and held me close to him. I cuddled up close to him and buried my head in his chest. He sat on the bed, with me on his lap.
