(__)__(__) BACK AT THE HOUSE (__)__(__)

We all walked into the house after a long day at school. Ben was still in tears. It's 3:30 and Mya was set to die in half an hour. Ben walked into the house and ran upstairs. Zac and Allie looked at me. Me and Ben were pretty close. He's the one who trained me so I was closer to him. He told me everything. When I first came Zac and Allie didn't trust or like me. 

Zac and Allie kept staring at me. John was a football practice. I looked over and Allie and she was still looking at me. I glanced over at Zac and he was looking at me too. I opened my mouth to say something and just closed it again. After that I walked upstairs and into Ben, Zac, and John's room. Ben was laying on his bed crying. I sat on the ground next to his bed. He turned over and looked at me.

"What do you want?" He asked.

"I wanted to make sure you were alright. You just ran up here so fast." I said looked back at him.

"I'm fine. I just wanted to be alone." Ben sighed.

"Ben I know you love Mya but everyone goes at some point." I said trying to cheer him up.

"Don't give me that bull shit." Ben growled.

"What bull shit?" I asked him.

"The whole everyone dies thing! If everyone dies then why aren't we dead?!" Ben yelled at me.

 I looked at Ben. He never yelled at anyone! And him yelling at me isn't a good first choice. "I'm sorry for trying to be a good friend. I guess I'll leave you alone then." I growled as I stood up. Then I walked out of his room.

I could hear him yelling my name but I ignored him. I walked into  Allie and I's room and sat at my desk. 

(__)__(__) ABOUT AN HOUR LATER (__)__(__)

I heard Zac yelling for me. I had finished all my homework half an hour ago. I walked downstairs in my tank top and skinny jeans. Ben was sitting at the bar eating. He looked at me and smiled. I rolled my eyes and got some food. I sat at the other end of the bar. I quickly ate and then walked back upstairs. I heard footsteps behind me so I turned around to see Ben. I turned back around and walked into my room. Ben walked in behind me. 

"What the hell do you want?" I asked sitting on my bed.

"I'm sorry for yelling at you. Alice you know I didn't mean to upset you." Ben said looking at me with begging eyes.

"You know I can't stay mad at you." I said smiling.

Ben sat next to me. "Sorry about yelling at you. I was just upset about Mya." Ben said whispering her name.

I gave him a hug and then walked over to my desk and logged onto my laptop. I logged onto my e-mail account and pulleed up an e-mail from Mya. I motioned for Ben so come over and read it. So he got up and walked over. He started reading it.

Dear Alice,

     You probably already know this but I'm going to tell you this anyway. I love Ben to bits and pieces. The reason I sent you this is because he's your best friend so I know that you are probably worried about me dating him since I am a cheer leader. I'm not going to hurt him in anyway. 

I love him. Maybe one day we'll get married and live happily ever after. I know sounds like a fairy tale but mine and Ben's realtionship is like living in a fairy tale. Yea it sounds really dorky but it's true. But I love him that's the point of this e-mail. I hope you approve of me Alice! Thanks for taking the time to read this. And I love him with all my heart.

                                                                                                        Love, Mya

When Be finished reading it he had tears in his eyes. "She really loved me." He whispered.

I smiled and logged out of my e-mail and closed my laptop. "She wouldn't want you be sad. She would want you to move on." I said.

Ben smiled and gave me a small hug. He kissed my forehead and walked out of my room. I took a quick shower and changed into some basketball shorts and a t-shirt. I layed in my bed and started reading on my IPhone. Then Zac and Ben walked into the room. They had blankets and pillows. "Can we sleep here tonight?" Zac asked me.

"Why?" I asked locking my phone.

"John and his football friends took over the room." Ben answered.

Allie walked into the room and smiled at Zac. "Sure you guys can stay in here." Allie said getting comforatable in her bed.

They spread out their blankets and pillows on the floor and layed down. Before I knew it Allie, Ben, and Zac had all fallen asleep. I closed my eyes and heard someone whisper my name over and over again. Alice Carter, Alice Carter, Alice Carter, Alice Carter.

I opened my eyes and sat up instantly. I heard them whispering my name again. It took all my strength to not scream. I wanted to tell them to shut up and leave me alone but I couldn't. So I got out of bed and tripped over Ben and fell on the floor. Wood floor. I was just about the scream in pain but someone put their hand over my mouth. It was Ben. He stood up and helped me up aswell. He pulled me out into the hall. "Are you alright?" He asked me.

"Not really. I think I'm going insane." I answered as I rubbed my shin.

"What do you mean?" Ben asked. 

Then John and his friends came out of their room laughing. "Hearing voices Alice?" John asked laughing.

I swear my eyes got ten times darker. I walked over to him and slammed him into the wall. All his friends jaws dropped. "You really wanna mess with me you fucking ass hole!" I yelled not caring that some people were sleeping. 

Ben walked over and pulled me off of John. John looked terrified. Almost like he looked when he saw his body in the mall. White as a ghost. Ben had picked me up and thrown me over his shoulder. While I was cussing John out about messing with me. Ben walked downstairs and threw me on the sofa. He sat next to me on the sofa and looked at me. "Alice I love you I really do but this has got to stop." Ben said looking at me with kind eyes.

"He deserved it." I said pouting.

Ben leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. So many things were running through my mind. 

1. Ben protected me.

2. He says he loves me all the time.

3. He kisses me on the forehead or on the cheek a lot.

4. He holds my hand.

5. He trys to help when I don't feel good or I'm hurt.

6. He doesn't really treat me like I'm his little sister. (Not anymore at least)

7. He tells me everything.

8.He trusts me with all his secrets.

9. He told me how he died and why he died.

10. He actually cares about me.

Wait.... Does he like me? Or am I just going insane?!

I kinda hope I'm just going insane!!!!!
