Colton stood and went and sat next to her, pulling her into a hug, “Shh, it’s okay…”
Colton stood and went and sat next to her, pulling her into a hug, “Shh, it’s okay…”
Paige whimpered softly into his shoulder. “They’re staring,” she whispered.
“Let them,” Colton replied, “They can all go to hell.”
“That’s easy for you to say,” she replied quietly, his shirt muffling her words.
“If you’re uncomfortable, I can let go,” He said, resting his chin atop her head despite his words.
“No,” she replied, scooting closer into his arms.
“Okay then,” Colton sighed through is nose, glaring at a few people who were looking their way and they instantly found something better to do.
“Are you okay?” she asked quietly. “With everything?”
Colton nodded, “Of course I am. If I wasn’t I’d tell you, promise.”
“Okay.”
Someone approached from behind. “Paige? What are you doing?”
Paige turned around quickly. “Bryson! I was just… uh…” (her brother)
Colton frowned a little, “We were just hugging, is there anything wrong with that?”
(May I stalk?)
“Well, who are you?” the overprotective brother asked.
“Bryson, not now…” Paige whispered.
(May I stalk?)
(Yeah, of course!)
“I’m Colton.” He replied simply.
Bryson arched his eyebrow. “Colton Roberts?” He’d heard of the guy. Didn’t exactly have the greatest reputation.
Colton sighed and nodded, “Unfortunately so, yes.”
“Why are you with my little sister?”
Paige bit her lip and curled into Colton’s chest.
Colton shrugged and wrapped Paige up protectively, “Maybe because we’re friends and she was sad so I’m comforting her.”
Bryson pressed his lips together. “Is this about Mom?”
Paige didn’t answer, only tensed.
“I know you’re her brother and all but can you please leave us alone now? Unless you want him here, Paige?” He said the last part softer then the rest.
Paige bit her lip.
Bryson frowned. “I’m responsible for her.”
“And I don’t care. You’re not the old one who wants to protect her.” He said coldly.
“Colton, it’s alright,” she whispered, trying to prevent any conflict.
“Paige, you don’t have to be such a peacekeeper,” Bryson said quietly.
“What’s that supposed to mean? You looking for a fight because by all means, I’d kick your ass.” Colton snapped, making a move to stand.
