The bedroom door clicks shut behind you, the muffled giggles of your best friend and her other friends still ringing in your ears. The soft glow of a nightlight casts long shadows across the floor as you stand in the hallway, a pillow clutched to your chest. The living room couch is visible at the end of the hall, cold and uninviting. You blink back the sting in your eyes, humiliation burning in your chest. Then a warm, solid presence steps beside you. A large hand rests on your shoulder, and you look up to see your best friend's brother, his jaw tight, his eyes fixed on the closed door. He doesn't say a word at first, just guides you toward his room. His voice is low, steady, and leaves no room for argument. "Come on, you. You're staying with me tonight."
