Talon's P.O.V.

I angrily stormed inside after getting completely insulted by Aspen, ignoring everyone I ran upstairs and slammed my door shut.  Everyone knew not to bother me... I was pissed off actually livid. Who the fuck does she think she is? Slapping me?!

Pacing around my room I clench my fists, I had never in my life in the past ten years have felt so fucking disrespected ever! "Noah...can I come in?"Mom asked through the door,

"Mom I am not in a good mood right now, please just leave me alone."

I heard her sigh, "It's okay, I've dealt with worse, you know your dad's anger."

Closing my eyes I shook my head, Dad barely got mad but when he did get mad everyone hid in their rooms. That was how bad his anger was. "Mom-"

"I'm coming in." Opening the door she saw the mess I made in the room, "Just like your dad." Making her way through the mess she came to sit right beside me, "You deserved that slap."

Shocked I look over at her, "What?"

"You shouldn't have told them to sneak out of school like that Noah. You're not a parent yet, that fear of not seeing her daughter where she is supposed to be... it's terrifying and along with her was her brother. Talon...you and Penny have even talked out the differences you had before. You can't take her child out of school without her permission."

"But Nova..."

"Nova and I are different and you know that. Penny trusts us...you on the other hand Noah not so much."

Laying down on my bed I close my eyes trying to calm myself down, "Mom...I don't know what she wants from me. I didn't know what she wanted from me ten years ago either... I know that what I did I shouldn't have done but we promised each other we would always be best friends no matter what. I never thought in a million years that we would end up like this."

Mom laid down next to me, "Life has a lot of ups and downs Noah. But I trust you...You made the right decision for yourself ten years ago and I know you will make the right decision for yourself now too. But the thing is Noah, you haven't found the balance of finding the right thing for you and the right thing for her. You never did. One wrong decision...it can mess up everything."

She was right. I was so excited for myself that I had totally forgotten about her. 

"Yeah...I understand Mom."

Turning around she kissed my forehead before getting up off of my bed, "I'm going to start making dinner. Come down whenever you're ready."

Letting out a shaky breath I decided to look through some of my emails on my laptop and phone for a couple of minutes when suddenly the other phone that I use for social media began to blow up. Confused I look over at it,

"Oh my god, I can't believe she slapped him?!"

"Who is that girl?"

"How dare she hit him?"

"What happened?!"

"Probably some psychotic fan...we are with you Talon #Findthatgirl"

My eyes widened as I finally saw the video millions of people have commented on. It was a clear-cut video of Aspen slapping me on a loop. Underneath it, the tags were trending 

#Findthatgirl  #wearewithyouTQ.

This is not good. This is not good at all. Running out of my room I rush over to Jaxon grabbing his arm I shove my phone in his face, "What the fuck?" He snapped, "Where did this video come from?"

"I don't know!" I exclaimed this was a complete mess. 

"This place is surrounded by security none of your fans could have-" Jaxon stopped his eyes widening, "Do you think they climbed over on the other house's roof?"

Groaning I pace around in front of him, "Maybe?" I said shrugging, "I don't know. Like I said I was busy getting my ass whopped by Aspen how am I supposed to know how this video got out. My fans are crazy...they can do anything...if they find out who Aspen is, then who knows what they will do."

Nova entered the room hearing our voices, "What happened? Why are you two yelling at each other?"

Jaxon sighed showing her the phone as well, "Fuck...Aspen is going to kill you. This video even caught Nyzie's face a little."

Confused I looked at the video again, Nova was right...You could see her face peeping out of the door watching Aspen slapping me. "Great, Aspen was already pissed at me and now she will literally kill me."

Jaxon slumped down on the couch contacting Instagram's owner trying to get the video off the platform as soon as possible but we both knew it was too late. People have probably already saved it on their phones, it's probably already in the hands of media anchors, all over Twitter, Facebook, and youtube. Fuck... This was not supposed to happen. I came back to Atlanta for a break, not extra drama. 

Mom, Dad, and Nina walked in noticing the look on our faces Mom asked, "What happened Noah?"

Nova showed them the video, "We guess that one of his fans took the video from outside the premises. This video is everywhere, it's gone viral."

"I thought we had tight security?" Dad said, "How could someone get through?"

Jax shrugged, "We think someone claimed upon our neighbor's roof Uncle Clay, our premise is tightly guarded."

Dad sighed sitting down next to me, "Let's send some people over to their house just in case find out where she lives."

I shook my head, "Not yet, it's too early if we send people over to her house they will find her faster. The more discrete we keep this the faster it will go away."

"But she needs to know-"

"She'll find out tomorrow morning."

"But Talon-" Jax began

"End of conversation." I said firmly "Mom is dinner ready?"

"Yeah."

"Let's go eat then," I said before walking out of the room.

I was worried don't get me wrong, but if we put security around their house people would notice, media would notice the best way was to ignore the allegations so far. If I keep quiet it would go away and besides how big could a short five-second video get? It's been ten years since I have been in this business...Everything will be fine.

. . .

Aspen's P.O.V.

"Penny!" Mylah yelled through the door, "Penny wake up!" Graoning I roll over in my bed to check the time, it was 4:30 in the morning.

"Go away Mylie!" I yelled, "You are going to wake up Nyzaia and everyone else. It's 4 in the morning."

Barging into my room she had a panicked look on her face rubbing my eyes I looked at her concerned, "What's up?"

"Promise you won't be mad?"

"Mylie...just tell me what happened?"

She swallowed harshly before showing me her phone...it was a video of me slapping Talon on a loop. I gasped quietly covering my mouth with my hand, "How...? How did this get out?"

"I don't know, I have been trying to contact Nova for the past hour but she's probably sleeping. Penny...read the comments."

"Who does she think she is? #FindThatGirl"

"Some Talonators need to calm down. Talon probably rejected her."

"#FindThatGirl"

"Did anyone see that little girl too?"

My eyes began to fill with tears, there were so many vile and disgusting comments that I just couldn't bring myself to read on. The tags were endless, and some of his fans even noticed the small glimpse of Nyzie.

Mylie pulled me into a tight hug, "Don't worry...Don't worry, tomorrow we'll get to the bottom of this. We won't send Nyzie and Bear to school either. First thing in the morning we will go see Talon and get to the bottom of this."

Taking a deep breath in I nodded, "No, we can't be scared Mylie. We'll send them to school and go to work. Just ask Nova about it over the phone I do not want to talk to him again."

"Penny..."

"Everything will be fine Mylie. No one knows who I am, who Bear and Nyzie are." She looked at me skeptically but nevertheless backed down. "Will you stay with me here?"

Mylie nodded laying down beside me and closing her eyes as I stared up at the ceiling. Everything will be fine right?
