Tyler didn't know what to wear to the Halloween party that was happening that night. He was with his friends in his room arguing about what to wear. He had bought costumes with his friends, but the costume now looked ridiculous.

It was an orange jumpsuit, color that hurt the eyes, accompanied by fake handcuffs.

"Dude, the chicks are going to love seeing you in that suit!" Diego tried to convince him.

"I know I'll look good in this kind of suit, Diego, no need to kiss ass. It's just that it looks a little absurd," Tyler said.

After Diego convinced (= nagged) him to wear his costume, they finally left to join the rest of their friends at the party. Not without saying goodbye to his family. His brothers jumped on him at three, and his mother just rolled her eyes while his father prepared the meal.

"So the little brother is going to a party, huh! It seems like just yesterday you were a poor little virgin begging me to take you to a lot of parties!" shamelessly teased the older Mickael.

"I get you ! Young people grow up so fast. I still remember when you wanted to kiss that girl and you sneezed on her, I never laughed so much! You should have seen the poor girl's face, man," laughed Jardon, the second of the siblings.

"Guys, leave him alone! You know he could jinx us!" replied Brandon much too amused.

"It only happened once, and I was sick!" snapped Tyler annoyed, by their teasing.

"Poor Tyler, still in denial!" Micheal joked.

"Boys, be nicer to your little brother! We all get stressed out in these situations," their father scolded from the kitchen in an amused tone.

"It's true, Tyler is just a stressed-out little virgin," Brandon teased, causing everyone to giggle. Tyler even thought he heard laughter coming from the kitchen.

Tyler huffed in obvious exasperation at their teasing. It wasn't like they didn't get along with his brothers, it was just that they were constantly arguing and fighting. You could never understand siblings who argued and fought. Even though they fought and teased each other mercilessly all the time, they knew that if one was in trouble or needed a kidney, they would be the first to come to their aid. His older brothers had always said that it was their duty to piss off the younger brother. It was a so-called universal law. And they were constantly pushing him to get things for them or food because he were too chicken to get up.

His family was a family of mockers first and foremost. As much as he enjoyed teasing his teammates, it was impossible for him to win when he was with his brothers, they had too many secrets and embarrassing moments that they held against him. And unfortunately, Tyler didn't hold many secrets against them. And since he was the youngest in the family, his brothers tended to take advantage of that.

One time Brandon called him and took him out him off from practice, saying it was urgent. Tyler really thought something bad had happened, and he became panicked and anxious about the millions of scenarios that were already unfolding before his eyes.

He could already see his parents dead, his brothers devastated and in foster care. So when he found out that Brandon's emergency was that he had to hand him the remote control within 5 meters because he was too lazy, he vowed never to answer their call again. And also started a nasty fight with Brandon, although he still lost in the end. His brother was much stronger than him.

"Dad I'm off to the party!"

"Okay be careful son!"

Tyler went to join Diego, who was waiting for him in his room.

"What took you so long? Was it your brothers again?"

"It's always my brothers, they don't want to stop teasing me, they think I'm 12 years old," said Tyler, rolling his eyes.

"You know, I always wanted to know what it would be like to have siblings," Diego said dreamily.

"Believe me, you don't want to know" announced Tyler confidently.

"I can't wait for the party! Can't imagine how many beautiful girls there will be at the party! And maybe they'll even be handcuffed, that would be even hotter!"

"Well, we can go now, my dad is OK," Tyler said, ignoring his comment about girls.

They left the room, got into the car, and Tyler drove. Tyler wasn't the only one with a license, but he was always the designated driver because of his musical tastes, which made everyone agree to designate him as their go-to driver.

Once, there was an argument between Ashley and Tessa about the choice of music, which almost ended in an accident. Since then, it was said that only one person would drive from now on, and which was Tyler.

Tyler listened to different kinds of music, he liked RnB, Rap, Pop, Soul, Jazz, Blues, Reggae, Hip-Hop, Indie Pop, Afropop, Afro-American music... Which made it possible to put everyone in agreement since the kind of music was varied, which satisfied everyone.

Tyler and Diego finally arrived at the party, after a 20-minute drive. They were greeted by a large house, a large garden and a large pool that could easily accommodate about 50 people. However, what impressed them was the Halloweens decorations. The house and garden were perfectly decorated, pumpkins with scary mice were placed in front of and around the house and garden, there were even fake skeletons and skulls. Fake mice and big black spiders were also hung with a banner. You could even see fake skulls floating on the surface of the pool.

"Wow, they sent this year on the decos!" exclaimed Diego wide-eyed impressed

" Bro she has went all out on the decorations!" Tyler acknowledged.

As they entered the house, they also saw plenty of decorations inside. Tyler and Diego saw their friends in the distance and headed straight for them. There were a lot of people, which made it difficult to get there.

"You guys are finally here, we've been waiting for you!"

"You should have, the party started more than 30 minutes ago," Ashley said annoyed.

"Sorry, my brothers were assholes as usual."

"Look at the number of beautiful women around us! It's like heaven!" Diego swooned.

"Diego, you can't stop thinking about women for like 2 minutes." Said Grey

"Yeah, sorry, you're right... No, but wait, you really thought that's what I was going to say. I love women and I will never stop thinking about these creatures of beauty created by the hand of God himself" said Diego very seriously.

"Reassure me Diego, you know that man was also created by God?" asked Tessa, perplexed.

"Hush! Don't spoil my pleasure, I'm going to conquer the heart of these women!" exclaimed Diego, all joyful.

While Diego had gone to pick up ladies, Grey and Emma had gone their separate ways, and Tessa had gone to meet a friend of hers that evening. Tyler was now alone with Ashley. He liked Ashley a lot because they were both very similar, they were both seducers, party animals and slightly self-absorbed, but they both knew that underneath this false appearance of self-absorption there were insecurities.

Ashley was dressed as Harley Quin. She had colored her hair for the occasion and made two pigtails. She was dressed just like her. Ashley was admired and ogled from everywhere. No wonder, Tyler knew very well that Ashley was a very beautiful woman, and often impressed easily by her charm. And she knew she was beautiful, that's why she played with it. She was a seductress. She often got what she wanted with her charm. It wasn't as if she was the most beautiful girl in the school, but she was the most provocative and fearless, and that's what made her so charming.

Ashley was a black girl, although not as tan as Tyler's skin color. She was often mistaken for a mixed race girl because of her skin color. She had a beautiful oval face, with nice skin, however Tyler knew that she was hiding one of the acne pimples on her cheeks with makeup. Acne was one of her flaws. She had beautiful brown eyes and luscious pink lips. She had very white teeth, and wore false eyelashes, which highlighted her beautiful brown eyes. And she often wore a dark brown wig.

Her attitude was her charm. She was not in control of her emotions and sometimes had disproportionate reactions to the situation. She was not afraid of confrontation, and when she got angry she was like a demon. She had a temperament that could become explosive very quickly (she once broke her ex-best friend's new car after learning that she was spitting on him and making up rumors).

She is sometimes said to be cruel, but in reality she is sensitive and protects herself by an apparent indifference to the smallest attack that she considers personal.

However, many people find her annoying or cruel, mean-spirited, but she never cares about the opinions of others. And doesn't hesitate to put people in their place, no matter who they are.

As the evening wore on, the drinks began to flow and Tyler began to feel the alcohol taking effect. Before he knew it, he was in a room with an unknown girl who was straddling him and kissing his neck.

Normally Tyler would have pushed the girl away, but in this state, Tyler just wanted the emptiness in his chest to go away. It had been a long time since he had touched a girl, and he had missed it so much that he gave in completely. The girl on top of him didn't seem to care if he was conscious or not. It seemed like she just wanted someone to satisfy her. As Tyler closed his eyes to give in to a pleasure he hadn't felt in too long, a memory of her came back to him. It was then that he awoke from his stupor, and realizing what he was about to do and his position, he abruptly pushed the girl away, and she fell to the ground.

"Asshole! My dress! To think that I liked you!" exclaimed the girl, red with anger

"You don't like me, you just like the fake image I show, silly. How could you like me when you don't even know me a little bit?" replied Tyler followed by a derisive laugh.

"What are you talking about? You must be really drunk to say all this crap," replied the confused girl before leaving the room.

As Tyler tried to stand up, he failed miserably. Just as he was thinking of giving up, Grey appeared in front of him to help him up by putting an arm around him to support some of his weight.

"Where have you been all this time? We've been looking for you since earlier, damn it! This place is way too fucking big" announced Grey, visibly worried, his eyebrows furrowed.

"Grey, lower your voice, my head is killing me!" moaned Tyler holding his head.

"You are such an idiot, Tyler! Next time don't drink so much and I'll watch you closely. Your brothers will literally kill me if anything happens to you" Grey sighed.

"Yeah yeah, right mom," Tyler teased.

As they got into the car, Tyler couldn't help but think back to what had happened earlier. Or rather, what he had felt. The emptiness in his chest that seemed to be omnipresent since his departure, and the loneliness that accompanied it seemed to suffocate him at times. He could not believe that he would have gone further with this girl just to feel a little warmth, love. He honestly thought he was pathetic.

Girls liked him for what he was not, and the only girl he liked was gone because of who he was.
