Crybaby x Ben

Crybaby x Ben part 38

Ben was in Crybaby's hospital room sleeping, after telling his best friend he'd rather stay by her side than go home and have a restless night. Wiping the sleep from his eyes, he lifts his head up and locks eyes with his girlfriend, who was staring right at him

"Crybaby?" Ben jolted awake

"Where am I? What happened?" Crybaby asked

"You're in the hospital. You got stabbed but you're going to be okay." Ben sat on her bed

"Do I know you?" Crybaby's eyebrows furrowed

"It's me, Ben. The boy who's been madly in love with you since 7th grade." Ben held her hand

"I want to go home, take me home." Crybaby teared up

"The doctors have to make sure you're alright before they discharge you. Besides, you've been on bed rest for a week, you need time to recover." Ben explained

"I want to go home, call my mom." Crybaby repeated

The doctor walked in with writing on a clipboard before placing it in the slot in the front of Crybaby's bed

"Well, it looks like she's all ready to go. The tests came back, nothing out of the ordinary. She's okay, just make sure the stitches don't open up." The doctor told Ben

"Are you sure the medication that filled her veins didn't give her amnesia?" Ben asks the doctor, who frantically shook his head

"Not that I know of, but if she does have some type of amnesia, then it'll take about 3 days for her memories to come back." The doctor calmly states before leaving the room

Ben looked over at Crybaby, who looked like she was on the verge of crying

"Come on, get dressed. I'm taking you back to my house." Ben sighed

"I'm not going anywhere with you! Why can't you just take me home?" Crybaby shoved him

"You want me to take you back to that shithole you call a home? Crybaby, you left for a reason. Your mother is an alcoholic and her soon to be husband violated you. I'm not taking you back there." Ben says

"Wait, what? Barry?" Crybaby questioned, scratching her head in confusion

"Yes. When I found you, he was sitting on top of you, tracing his fingers over your skin. You were begging him to stop, but he wouldn't listen. I snuck in, grabbed a bat, and knocked him out. I asked if you wanted to stay with me and you said yes." Ben explained, watching tears well up in her brown eyes

"Well, you're obviously someone important in my life. Why can't I remember you?" Crybaby grunts, hitting her head

"Hey, cut it out. You're going to get brain damage." Ben tells her, grabbing her hand

"I'm fine. Can you please leave? I have to get dressed." Crybaby replied

"Yeah, no problem. I'll wait outside." Ben kissed her hand before closing the door behind him

"He seems nice." Crybaby blushed

Meanwhile, Ben was in the waiting area grabbing a snack from the vending machine when he felt a hand on his shoulder, scaring him into turning around and making a fist

"Boy, calm down! It's me." Doris held pepper spray out in front of her

"Why do you have pepper spray?!" Ben shrieked

"Sweetheart, I'm a single mother in a jacked up neighborhood. You do the math." Doris answered

"That's actually a good point." Ben smiled
