Do I Frighten You?
Chapter 69
*FlashBack** Amelia's mom pov
"Mom,"I yelled closing the trunk of the car. "I'm ready."
Moving to Middledich, I was sort of excited. I guess, I was going to miss my friends, Gabbie, Vanessa and Becca. All three of them stood there hand in hand, Waiting to get there good bye hugs, I am going to miss them and the memories that I leave in there hands. I looked back at them with a warm smile and they ran to me and hugged me.
"I am going to miss you!" Becca cooed, hugging me tightly.
"Get some cute guys numbers for me." Vanessa said, She hugged me and whispered in my ear making me giggle.
"I will miss you so much!" Vanessa said and hugged me right after Becca had let me go.
"I will contact you guys when I get some cute guys and some good drama to share." They all smiled and laughed.
"Em, Honey? Are you ready?" My mom said coming from the house.
"That looks like everything." I said and hugged my best friends one more time before I had gotten in the car.
"Be safe and please don't do anything stupid." I said and felt the tears come in my eyes. I looked away so they wouldn't see me they all were crying to, i would say that Gabbie was being the bravest, She was always brave.
I began to walk back to the car and opened the back door, I began to step in, They looked at me as I entered the car. I closed the door behind me and my parents began to start the ignition and pulled off slowly.
I rolled down my window and stuck my head out, and waved at them, They all waved at me. I looked back and let the tears run down my cheeks. I looked at them until I couldn't see them anymore. I then turned back around in my seat and then put my seat belt on.
"I heard the school we enrolled you in would be good for you." My dad said with his hands on the wheel looking at me through the mirror. I sat in my seat with puffy eyes.
"I hope." I said in a small voice.
We arrived at the house hours later, You wouldn't believe it it was the biggest house I had ever seen, My eyes were widen and my mouth was dropped open. I thought I seen all the good once we arrived in London where everyone was walking on the side walk and the cars and traffic that we had to go through, But this! Wow. I stepped out the car and began to just stand there as if I seen a alien spaceship hovering above me about to abduct me.
"This is the house we are staying in? Our house." I pointed at the huge house that had the pond in the front in the beautiful house structure.
"Well, Grab some bags Em My dad said grunting taking out the suitcases, I grabbed my suitcase and ran to the door and waited, I sure as hell going to get a room with the perfect view!
My dad trailed behind me with the keys dangling from his mouth, I grabbed the keys and opened the door, I looked at the amazing house in awe, my hands. There were in upstairs? We didn't have that at the flat! I ran up the stairs and looked around, I entered a room that was very huge, and the window was perfect, I took a look outside of the window and saw the back yard, It was just beautiful, I seen that the neighbors hard horses and I seen the horses running around. We had a built in pool in the back that made me just want to jump inside of it. This was going to be way better than my home town.
I ran back down stairs and grabbed my bag that I had dropped at the front door, This room was mine!
I am going to have to go to school the next week? But, We just moved here and I really don't feel like going. I mean, I do just so I can make some new friends and see what the people are like down here. I was sitting in my room drawing and texting some of my friends back home about how my day is going here right after we settled down I had heard the front door open and I heard my mom greeting someone and I sat up and began to ease drop. Yup I ease drop on my parents conversations just to hear if they are talking about me.
"I am glad that I could also be here. That is a nice home you have there." My dad had said and I could hear that there was a smile on his face.
I walked out in the hall and looked down stairs, My hands where on the railings like I was a princess waiting for my prince to come and pick me up from my tower that my dad had stormed me in, I am a nerd. I sighed because I knew that it was never going to happen I walked down stairs and looked at the lady that was at the door way with her husband it looked like, They had brought over pies and cookies.
"This is my daughter Emily My dad said put his hand on my back and then he pushed me softly towards them to introduce myself.
"That's me, But call me Emily." I said and had my hand out for them to shake, But there hands where surprisingly full. I put my hand down at the awkwardness.
"It is nice to meet you to, You are a beautiful girl." The mom said with a warm smile.
She was a beautiful lady her hair was a dark brown but her eyes where sky blue. I blushed
"Thanks."
The husband that she had had on a gray cardigan and some brown slacks, His hair was slick back and he wore some nerd glasses he looked like a sweet guy, and extremely rich.
I found myself getting dressed for school this morning, I wonder what the students are like and I wonder if they would like me, I mean, It is going to get hard around here for me being the new kid, But it is a new start, I had grabbed my back pack from off of my bed and threw it over my shoulder. I quickly made myself downstairs and found my mom and dad who had made me breakfast in the kitchen.
"Cheers to your first day at a new school" My dad said handing me orange juice and clicked his glass with mine.
I smiled. "Cheers."
I sat down in a chair and drunk my orange juice, My mom laid a plate of eggs and bacon down in front of me, I grabbed a bacon stripe of course and began to eat. It was so good. I looked at my phone for the time and I only had five minutes so go out there and catch the bus, I grabbed another bacon stripe and said bye to my mom and dad and made my way down to the bus stop. I saw a group of kids down the street that I was walking towards. Once I had made my way to the group of loud kids they all looked at me while I was still eating my bacon. They just stared at me. I guess I was being a little weird.
I looked at them all with blank faces and I seen a girl that really needed to put on more clothing because, she really did look like a whore. I smiled though. She looked at me disgusted.
"She is a total fat ass," I heard her whisper into this guys whose hands she was holding and He chuckled.
Welp, Now I know my first day was going to be a horrible day. I began to see the bus come down the street. It had stopped and everyone began to gather on the bus and I was the last one on because they all gave me stares that read back up fatty. Even one guy made a pig face at me and snorted and laughed. Once I began to step on the bus it was full, No empty seats, Where was I going to sit?
"Hey, You can sit here." This guy said with the nerdy look, His hair was slick back and he had on some glasses that made him look like he was really smart, He moved his back pack and patted for me to sit next to him, I took the risk. I sat down.
"My name is Bennett, but you may call me Ben.” He said and had out his hand for me to shake.
"Emily." I responded and shook his hand, I was going to regret this maybe, But, I guess I can be a nerds friend, They aren't that bad.
Once the bus started moving again, The bus became loud.
We all arrived at school and everyone flew off the bus, and me and Bennett where the last ti get off, I began to walk and noticed he was walking beside me.
"So you're new here?" He began as he took his ear phones out of his ear and walk walking beside me.
He had on this sweater vest and jeans, He wouldn't look like a nerd if he didn't have the glasses and weird hair.
I nodded, "Yeah, I just moved her a week ago, We just had finished setting in. I said.
"I bet it was a rough week," He smiled, "Do you need assistance to show you around? If so, I would love to be that person."
I smiled at his offer I couldn't say no and nodded.
"Well, Welcome Emily to Woodside High school, Totally of 751 kids, Now 752." He introduced and smiled proudly and pointed over at the doors. "Well, here inside you will see this hall way, and to the right is the gym, and through the big gym doors you will see that there is another door to your right and that is the health room."
I looked over and saw the big doors to the gym, The colors where gray black and white, people where entering the room.
"Now, Down these halls is the main office where you would get your schedule and It will have all your rooms on it and where you need to go, They should provide you with a map if not, I am here." He smiled as he tugged me along through the people in the hall to get to the main office.
He opened the doors and allowed me to step in first and all I could see was this lady who sat behind a counter and looked up at me.
"How may I help you two?" She said and stopped typing on her computer.
"She is new here and she needs her schedule because she is new." Bennett said with a cheeky smile.
She began to type on her computer, She asked my name and I gave it to her and she handed me my paper with all my classes. Court looked over my shoulder onto my paper.
"Looks like we have PreCal together" He laughed and I scanned through my classes and seen that I had a few classes that I kind of enjoyed, Like art for example. But Gym? Really?
I sighed, I began to walk out the door with Bennett and onto my first class. Physics.
When school was over, I jumped out of my seat and headed to my locker and grabbed all my things and went to the bus, I sat next to Ben, He had let me sit next to the window, He was babbling away about his school day today, He wouldn't be quiet, I was looking at the window acting like I was listening to him by laughing at everything, and smiling. Once he had gotten off the bus he looked over at me. “It was nice meeting you. See you tomorrow.” He waved before getting off the bus. I waved back of course he was a nice person.
Once the bus had got to my stop sign I had gotten off the bus with all those mean people from this morning, But I was the first one off, I heard them behind me walking. I started to quicken my pace.
“Hey, New girl.” One of them said, It was a males voice.
I didn't want to turn around, But I didn't want to start any drama, I turned and looked at them, But still walking.
“Was school okay for you?” He said and jogged up to me, Looking down at me. He looked around 6'7. His black hair fell into his eyes. He was wearing a blue shirt and his hands where in his gray skinny jean pockets with some vans on, He had on a bracelet, But I had no idea what it said.
“Yeah, It was alright.” I said looking up at the tall guy walking next to me.
He nodded, “That's good, I am Jordan by the way.”
His large hand was held out for me to shake it, I hesitated and then shook it, “I'm Emily.”
“Awesome.” He said with a big smile. “Sorry about my friends, they can be a hard group to get along with.”
“Yeah, they were kind of mean to me this morning.” I said with a sigh.
“Jordan and new girl sitting in a tree.” All the others said behind us, Giggling. “K-I-S-S-I-N-G.”
“Shut up!” Jordan said, I could see him blushing a little when he looked at them. He laughed a little. “Please, Ignore them.”
I reached my house, Jordan, Looked back and didn't see any of them behind me. “They must have went to Katie’s house.”
I nodded in agreement because I honestly didn't know who a Katie was.
“Well, It was nice meeting you today, We should talk again, You seem cool.” He said blushing again.
I smiled, I knew I was blushing too. “Alright, That's cool.”
“Awesome, Well, Can I get your number, We can text.” He said.
I nodded and he handed me his phone and I put my number in the contact area. I texted my name.
“There you go, Just text me whenever you can or want to, I will most likely have my phone.” I said and gave him his phone back.
“Well, I will text you once I finish my homework for this psychics class.” He said.
“Alright, Well, See you.” I said and began to walk up through my drive way.
“See you later.” He said and began to walk again.
This guy was nice, I mean his look may have made him look mean, But he was a sweet guy to be hanging with those rude friends that he have. He walked away.
“So what's up with you and Jordan Flynn?”Ben asked in a whisper.
My eyes widened, and I looked behind me at him. “Nothing, Just friends.”
“Well, he is trouble.” Ben said, I began to get off the bus when the last person was off.
My phone buzzed, I grabbed it out of my pocket and looked at it.
Jordan: What's up with you and Bennett? Lol
I smiled.
Me: Nothing! We are just friends.
Jordan: So, Why not hang with me at Breakfast? It we don't have to hang with Katie and Matt.
Me: I will see.
Jordan: Alright.
“Hey, Ben would you be upset if I sat with Jordan today?” I asked.
He looked at me for a long moment. He had kind of a shocked look on his face. “Uh, Sure.”
I smiled and hugged him in excitement. “Thanks!”
“Yeah?” He said kind of confused.
Me: Where are you guys sitting?
Jordan: When you walk into the Cafeteria you will see the window, and we are by the snack machine.
I reached the cafeteria and noticed them all waving at me, It was Jordan, Dustin, and this girl that I haven't seen at all in my life, I entered the cafeteria and then sat down in a seat.
*Ben's Pov**
School was hell today, Linda and I partnered up in our science project, It was alright but, not what I wanted, she was pretty, But not one of the people I would hang out with, Her boyfriend was captain of the basketball team, She was calling me all these names and I just ignored them like I always do, even the name I get called in the halls, Simple names they hurt, I mean why did they have to pick on me?
I was walking to the bus and someone knocked against me causing all of my books to fall out of my hands, and also my glasses off my face.
“Move it next time dork.” He spat and stomped on my glasses. Everyone gathered around us in a circle with their phones out taking pictures and recording hoping for a fight.
I was shocked when I heard the crunching noise of my glasses break and the guy walked off, I picked up my glasses and they wear shattered the lens were out and the frame looked like it was ran over, I picked up my things and began to walk to the bus again with my blurry vision, I made my way out of the people looking at me laughing. I can't wait to tell Emily about my day, I don't think she knew I was bullied, but I think today would be a great time. Hey Emily, I have been bullied for a long time now, I decided now to tell you, and also, you are very pretty. Ugh, No that would sound stupid. I will tell her soon.
I seen her get on the bus right behind Jordan she seemed to be all happy today. Wow, I guess this guy was better looking and better than I was, I actually liked Emily. She was actually a nice person. But now I guess her new days were over. She have moved on from the person that was her first friend here, That is okay. I will be okay. I sat back in my seat until it was time for me to get off the bus. I got off the bus with a few kids, I didn't talk to them because they all thought I was weird.
I opened my house door, and walked inside, my dog came plowing at me. My dog was the only one that loved and cared about me, My mom and dad would to but they both died a year ago, I lived with my aunt. She probably wasn't even here, She probably went to go and pick up my little sister from school. I dragged myself upstairs and into my room. I went into my room and sat on my bed and looked opened my laptop, went onto my FaceBook seen a few notifications.
“You got told today ya geek!”
“You are ugly af! The fuck is wrong with your face! Your mother must have slammed a door against your face!”
“Lmao!”
I was so done, I was so done with all of this. I couldn't stop crying, Tears ran down my face and you know what I liked all the comments they posted on my page with the humiliating picture. I just wanted friends, One friend? No one would want to be my friend, No one helped me when I was getting bullied, No one cared. Now, Look at me. Sitting here on my bed and now thinking about doing something stupid.
I closed my laptop and sighed, I got out a pen and a notebook and began to write.
Hi, My names Bennett Elijah Burris, I've been bullied, I've lost my parents and now I have no one that loves me around here. I have been bullied for a long time, with no friends, Well, I thought I had one but she abandoned me for someone else, Someone better more popular, and cool. Some one had stepped on my glasses and broke them and I have you know, They were my fathers glasses the only thing I could keep. I am tired of it so this letter is a good bye letter, Sorry I have stepped into this life. Sorry for everything I apparently did wrong. But Now, It is time for me to join my mom and dad in a better place.
Sincerely Bennett Elijah Burris
I sat the note down stairs so my aunt could see it when she first walk in. I walked into the mirror and looked at myself and searched the medicine Cabinet for some pills. There wasn't any, I went downstairs into the kitchen and pulled out a knife out of the kitchen and began to cut my wrist, I sobbed. Blood fell and this wasn't going to work I went outside with my bloody arm and checked in the garage for a rope and stool, This will be quick and painless. I went back inside and back upstairs into my room and closed the door behind me.
I tied the rope inside of my closet door and sighed and pulled the stool under the dangling rope and then the rope around my neck. I stood on the stool and looked down.
Emily's pov
I hadn't talked to Ben for a while I wonder what he was doing, I sighed and sat on my bed when I finished my homework. I knew were he lived because it always dropped him off before I did because he was picked up before me. So he was also dropped off before me. I walked down the street and to the house that he always walked up and then into.
I knocked on his door and then door slightly opened, I peeked in. “Ben?” I said softly waiting for him to answer back. I had slowly walked in, nervously I had made my way up stairs, curiously just because my room was upstairs too. So I just thought his was.
I had moving around. “Ben?” I said again slightly louder and then made my way fully up the stairs and then looked around and then I seen a room, it clearly said Bennett's name on it. I knocked on the room door and then the movement stopped.
The door slightly opened and then it revealed Ben tears in his eyes. He had been crying.
“Hey, what's wrong?” I asked bringing him in with a hug.
“I don't know Em, I just feel like I don't deserve to live anymore, everyone hates me.”He said softly wiping his eyes. He sobbed onto his shoulder.
I looked inside of his room as his head was on y shoulder, I seen a chair and a rope. I pulled back a him.
“Were you trying to kill yourself?” I said softly.
Fresh tears went down his face and he looked down not making eye contact with me.
“I am tired of being bullied, just because of the way I look.” He said and then sighed.
“Shut up!” I said rolling my eyes and then he looked up at me. “Nothing is wrong with you!”
He looked away from me again. I had rolled my eyes and then brought my hands to the sides of his face and then kissed him.
"Mom,"I yelled closing the trunk of the car. "I'm ready."
Moving to Middledich, I was sort of excited. I guess, I was going to miss my friends, Gabbie, Vanessa and Becca. All three of them stood there hand in hand, Waiting to get there good bye hugs, I am going to miss them and the memories that I leave in there hands. I looked back at them with a warm smile and they ran to me and hugged me.
"I am going to miss you!" Becca cooed, hugging me tightly.
"Get some cute guys numbers for me." Vanessa said, She hugged me and whispered in my ear making me giggle.
"I will miss you so much!" Vanessa said and hugged me right after Becca had let me go.
"I will contact you guys when I get some cute guys and some good drama to share." They all smiled and laughed.
"Em, Honey? Are you ready?" My mom said coming from the house.
"That looks like everything." I said and hugged my best friends one more time before I had gotten in the car.
"Be safe and please don't do anything stupid." I said and felt the tears come in my eyes. I looked away so they wouldn't see me they all were crying to, i would say that Gabbie was being the bravest, She was always brave.
I began to walk back to the car and opened the back door, I began to step in, They looked at me as I entered the car. I closed the door behind me and my parents began to start the ignition and pulled off slowly.
I rolled down my window and stuck my head out, and waved at them, They all waved at me. I looked back and let the tears run down my cheeks. I looked at them until I couldn't see them anymore. I then turned back around in my seat and then put my seat belt on.

"This is the house we are staying in? Our house." I pointed at the huge house that had the pond in the front in the beautiful house structure.
"Well, Grab some bags Em My dad said grunting taking out the suitcases, I grabbed my suitcase and ran to the door and waited, I sure as hell going to get a room with the perfect view!

I am going to have to go to school the next week? But, We just moved here and I really don't feel like going.

She was a beautiful lady her hair was a dark brown but her eyes where sky blue. I blushed
"Thanks."
The husband that she had had on a gray cardigan and some brown slacks, His hair was slick back and he wore some nerd glasses he looked like a sweet guy, and extremely rich.
I found myself getting dressed for school this morning, I wonder what the students are like and I wonder if they would like me, I mean, It is going to get hard around here for me being the new kid, But it is a new start, I had grabbed my back pack from off of my bed and threw it over my shoulder. I quickly made myself downstairs and found my mom and dad who had made me breakfast in the kitchen.
"Cheers to your first day at a new school" My dad said handing me orange juice and clicked his glass with mine.

She began to type on her computer, She asked my name and I gave it to her and she handed me my paper with all my classes. Court looked over my shoulder onto my paper.
"Looks like we have PreCal together" He laughed and I scanned through my classes and seen that I had a few classes that I kind of enjoyed, Like art for example. But Gym? Really?
I sighed, I began to walk out the door with Bennett and onto my first class. Physics.

I didn't want to turn around, But I didn't want to start any drama, I turned and looked at them, But still walking.
“Was school okay for you?” He said and jogged up to me, Looking down at me. He looked around 6'7. His black hair fell into his eyes. He was wearing a blue shirt and his hands where in his gray skinny jean pockets with some vans on, He had on a bracelet, But I had no idea what it said.
“Yeah, It was alright.” I said looking up at the tall guy walking next to me.
He nodded, “That's good, I am Jordan by the way.”
His large hand was held out for me to shake it, I hesitated and then shook it, “I'm Emily.”
“Awesome.” He said with a big smile. “Sorry about my friends, they can be a hard group to get along with.”
“Yeah, they were kind of mean to me this morning.” I said with a sigh.
“Jordan and new girl sitting in a tree.” All the others said behind us, Giggling. “K-I-S-S-I-N-G.”
“Shut up!” Jordan said, I could see him blushing a little when he looked at them. He laughed a little. “Please, Ignore them.”
I reached my house, Jordan, Looked back and didn't see any of them behind me. “They must have went to Katie’s house.”
I nodded in agreement because I honestly didn't know who a Katie was.
“Well, It was nice meeting you today, We should talk again, You seem cool.” He said blushing again.
I smiled, I knew I was blushing too. “Alright, That's cool.”
“Awesome, Well, Can I get your number, We can text.” He said.
I nodded and he handed me his phone and I put my number in the contact area. I texted my name.
“There you go, Just text me whenever you can or want to, I will most likely have my phone.” I said and gave him his phone back.
“Well, I will text you once I finish my homework for this psychics class.” He said.
“Alright, Well, See you.” I said and began to walk up through my drive way.
“See you later.” He said and began to walk again.
This guy was nice, I mean his look may have made him look mean, But he was a sweet guy to be hanging with those rude friends that he have. He walked away.
“So what's up with you and Jordan Flynn?”Ben asked in a whisper.
My eyes widened, and I looked behind me at him. “Nothing, Just friends.”
“Well, he is trouble.” Ben said, I began to get off the bus when the last person was off.
My phone buzzed, I grabbed it out of my pocket and looked at it.
Jordan: What's up with you and Bennett? Lol
I smiled.
Me: Nothing! We are just friends.
Jordan: So, Why not hang with me at Breakfast? It we don't have to hang with Katie and Matt.
Me: I will see.
Jordan: Alright.
“Hey, Ben would you be upset if I sat with Jordan today?” I asked.
He looked at me for a long moment. He had kind of a shocked look on his face. “Uh, Sure.”
I smiled and hugged him in excitement. “Thanks!”
“Yeah?” He said kind of confused.
Me: Where are you guys sitting?
Jordan: When you walk into the Cafeteria you will see the window, and we are by the snack machine.
I reached the cafeteria and noticed them all waving at me, It was Jordan, Dustin, and this girl that I haven't seen at all in my life, I entered the cafeteria and then sat down in a seat.
*Ben's Pov**
School was hell today, Linda and I partnered up in our science project, It was alright but, not what I wanted, she was pretty, But not one of the people I would hang out with, Her boyfriend was captain of the basketball team, She was calling me all these names and I just ignored them like I always do, even the name I get called in the halls, Simple names they hurt, I mean why did they have to pick on me?
I was walking to the bus and someone knocked against me causing all of my books to fall out of my hands, and also my glasses off my face.
“Move it next time dork.” He spat and stomped on my glasses. Everyone gathered around us in a circle with their phones out taking pictures and recording hoping for a fight.
I was shocked when I heard the crunching noise of my glasses break and the guy walked off, I picked up my glasses and they wear shattered the lens were out and the frame looked like it was ran over, I picked up my things and began to walk to the bus again with my blurry vision, I made my way out of the people looking at me laughing. I can't wait to tell Emily about my day, I don't think she knew I was bullied, but I think today would be a great time. Hey Emily, I have been bullied for a long time now, I decided now to tell you, and also, you are very pretty. Ugh, No that would sound stupid. I will tell her soon.
I seen her get on the bus right behind Jordan she seemed to be all happy today. Wow, I guess this guy was better looking and better than I was, I actually liked Emily. She was actually a nice person. But now I guess her new days were over. She have moved on from the person that was her first friend here, That is okay. I will be okay. I sat back in my seat until it was time for me to get off the bus. I got off the bus with a few kids, I didn't talk to them because they all thought I was weird.
I opened my house door, and walked inside, my dog came plowing at me. My dog was the only one that loved and cared about me, My mom and dad would to but they both died a year ago, I lived with my aunt. She probably wasn't even here, She probably went to go and pick up my little sister from school. I dragged myself upstairs and into my room. I went into my room and sat on my bed and looked opened my laptop, went onto my FaceBook seen a few notifications.
“You got told today ya geek!”
“You are ugly af! The fuck is wrong with your face! Your mother must have slammed a door against your face!”
“Lmao!”
I was so done, I was so done with all of this. I couldn't stop crying, Tears ran down my face and you know what I liked all the comments they posted on my page with the humiliating picture. I just wanted friends, One friend? No one would want to be my friend, No one helped me when I was getting bullied, No one cared. Now, Look at me. Sitting here on my bed and now thinking about doing something stupid.
I closed my laptop and sighed, I got out a pen and a notebook and began to write.
Hi, My names Bennett Elijah Burris, I've been bullied, I've lost my parents and now I have no one that loves me around here. I have been bullied for a long time, with no friends, Well, I thought I had one but she abandoned me for someone else, Someone better more popular, and cool. Some one had stepped on my glasses and broke them and I have you know, They were my fathers glasses the only thing I could keep. I am tired of it so this letter is a good bye letter, Sorry I have stepped into this life. Sorry for everything I apparently did wrong. But Now, It is time for me to join my mom and dad in a better place.
Sincerely Bennett Elijah Burris
I sat the note down stairs so my aunt could see it when she first walk in. I walked into the mirror and looked at myself and searched the medicine Cabinet for some pills. There wasn't any, I went downstairs into the kitchen and pulled out a knife out of the kitchen and began to cut my wrist, I sobbed. Blood fell and this wasn't going to work I went outside with my bloody arm and checked in the garage for a rope and stool, This will be quick and painless. I went back inside and back upstairs into my room and closed the door behind me.
I tied the rope inside of my closet door and sighed and pulled the stool under the dangling rope and then the rope around my neck. I stood on the stool and looked down.
Emily's pov
I hadn't talked to Ben for a while I wonder what he was doing, I sighed and sat on my bed when I finished my homework. I knew were he lived because it always dropped him off before I did because he was picked up before me. So he was also dropped off before me. I walked down the street and to the house that he always walked up and then into.
I knocked on his door and then door slightly opened, I peeked in. “Ben?” I said softly waiting for him to answer back. I had slowly walked in, nervously I had made my way up stairs, curiously just because my room was upstairs too. So I just thought his was.
I had moving around. “Ben?” I said again slightly louder and then made my way fully up the stairs and then looked around and then I seen a room, it clearly said Bennett's name on it. I knocked on the room door and then the movement stopped.
The door slightly opened and then it revealed Ben tears in his eyes. He had been crying.
“Hey, what's wrong?” I asked bringing him in with a hug.
“I don't know Em, I just feel like I don't deserve to live anymore, everyone hates me.”He said softly wiping his eyes. He sobbed onto his shoulder.
I looked inside of his room as his head was on y shoulder, I seen a chair and a rope. I pulled back a him.
“Were you trying to kill yourself?” I said softly.
Fresh tears went down his face and he looked down not making eye contact with me.
“I am tired of being bullied, just because of the way I look.” He said and then sighed.
“Shut up!” I said rolling my eyes and then he looked up at me. “Nothing is wrong with you!”
He looked away from me again. I had rolled my eyes and then brought my hands to the sides of his face and then kissed him.
Notes
Long chapter, I might not be able to update tomorrow. I have band competition. Erm. I will hopefully update tomorrow. Hopefully. I will try.
If you guys are confused about the chapter it is a flash back. You know Ethan's dad and Amelia's mom.... Ethan's dad was bullied, and decided against suicide, but she chose to be with him. They started to date and then Bennett had been so busy with University and Emily cheated on him with her crush Jordan. (You guys know Jordan right.) but yeah they had sex and she thought he was the dad but He later told her that he couldn't have kids. and so Bennett was the dad. When Bennett came back she had already had Ethan and then she was pregnant with Amelia, and then when Bennett found out she cheated, he left with Ethan..
So, if you are confused, I am sorry, comment your questions and please comment subscribe and vote. Thank you guys. I am going to bed. I have 6 hours to sleep. xD xx love you all. be safe.
