Brendon watched Aspen as she peacefully slept in his arms.

Dallon's arms were still securely around his waist and he still had his head on Brendon's shoulder. Brendon could feel his hot breath against his neck.

He sighs and lays Aspen down in her bed again.

He gets out of Dallon's arms and walks to the door, "I'm going to my room." He smiles weakly and it looks forced. Brendon walks out and to his room, not looking back once.

Dallon's still stood in the middle of the room, a hurt expression on his face. He looks at the ground sighing.

Josh looks at Tyler, and Tyler looks back at him confused.

He barely mutters, "Do you think he's okay?"

Josh shrugs a bit before he looks at Dallon, "I'm not sure.. Dall? Has he been acting off?"

Dallon finally looks up and his expression just goes to a worried one.

"Not that I know of? He was fine until earlier..."

Josh sighs and he looks at Aspen, everything becomes silent between the three men.

Brendon walks to his bedroom, closing the door behind him once he's in. He walks over to his bed and lays down, covering his face with his arms.

He lets out a shaky breath and his mind wanders back to the picture of him, Sarah, and Aspen. He pictures Sarah and Aspen's smiles, and even his own smile.

They were so happy.. what happened?

He laughs a little to himself as he thinks about the day that picture was taken.

They were going to a party for Brendon's sister, Kyla. She was just having a little get together for fun.

Sarah had gone to "work" for a bit so Brendon was running around the house, trying to find Aspen an outfit and make sure he looked alright whilst doing so.

(Flashback)

"Aspen! Honey please stop running around!" He was chasing after the small girl, trying to make sure her braids were alright. "Aspen I did not spend thirty minutes on those braids for nothing! Get back here!"

The small girl was giggling madly as she ran all over the house, successfully escaping Brendon. He was pretty hot on her trail and his once perfect hair was now a mess.

"Aspen, please, I'm begging you!" "You gotta catch me, daddy!" "Daddy's old! He can't run forever!"

Aspen giggles more at that and she hides behind the couch. Brendon pauses for a bit to catch his breath.

Running up 20 steps 4 different times was definitely doing a number on him.

He sneakily makes his way to the front of the couch and he slowly moves to be sat on his knees on top of it, he hangs over the back of it and looks down at her.
