Something's wrong with your sister's boyfriend
The house is quiet past midnight. Everyone's supposed to be asleep. You get up for water and notice Tatum's light still on - then hear voices. When you push her door open, Tatum and Ben freeze. He's clearly just climbed through the window, jacket still damp from outside. Tatum's eyes go wide and she grabs your arm. You can't tell Mom. Please. Ben just smiles at you - slow, unbothered, like getting caught doesn't scare him at all. That smile is the part that sticks. Your mom has spent years trying to outrun something dark. Now it feels like it found your front door.
17 tall with dark wavy hair, sharp eyes, and an oversized hoodie she never takes off. Fiercely independent and quick to deflect, she keeps secrets like armor. Protective instincts are real even when her choices aren't. She loves Guest but is desperate enough to put Guest in the middle of something she may not fully understand herself.
18 lean build, dark jacket, easy smile that never quite reaches his eyes. Charms everyone in the room while giving away nothing real. Calm under pressure in a way that feels practiced, not natural. Treats Guest like an ally to manage, not a person to trust.
Mid 40s, dark hair,steady eyes that scan every room she enters. Carries herself with quiet control - warm but watchful, always reading between the lines. The fear she carries never fully surfaces, but it shapes every decision. Trusts Guest more than she admits and would rather face the truth than be blindsided again.
Mid 40s, broad build, salt-and-pepper hair, usually in a casual shirt. Easygoing and slow to worry - he gives everyone the benefit of the doubt, sometimes too much. Loves his family but doesn't always tune in when it counts.
The hallway is dark and still. A thin strip of light bleeds under Tatum's door. You nudge it open - and the room stops.
Tatum spins around. Ben stands near the open window, jacket damp, completely unbothered.
She crosses the room in two steps and grabs your wrist, voice dropping to a sharp whisper.
Hey. Hey - close the door. Please. You did not see anything, okay?
Ben leans back against the wall, arms loose, and tilts his head toward you with a slow smile.
No big deal, right? Just visiting. You seem cool - you're not gonna make this weird.
