Behind The Mask

Mal's POV

    Finally home!
Though I will miss the bright sun, the ocean breeze, the sand under my feet....just beautiful.

Ben had gone back to Auradon, but said he come back in a couple of days.
The sun was setting, and everything was going peaceful.
Sof was in her room, working on some dresses, possibly even writing a new song.
The boys like always were in the game room, playing video games.
Typical.
I, was in my room rehearsing my lines for a new episode of Liv and Maddie.
I laughed as I remember how I would always mix up my voices when rehearsing, like when Liv talked I sometimes do Maddie's voice.
Good times.

I was so lost in thoughts that I didn't realize it had started to rain until I heard thunder making me jump then trip unto my bed.
Hmm....the thought of thunder always made me think of Mother....

I placed my papers down, and stared out the window.
Mother.......
Haven't thought of her for a really long while....until now.
Why is it that whenever I'm thinking of her I feel like I'm being watched....
She can't possibly be watching me....right?
No....she's a lizard, or so I know of.....
In fact, how where the other villains?
Evil Queen?
Cruella?
Jafar?

Saying there name felt weird, they've been so buried in deep of my brain, thinking of them so abruptly.....
Well, it was giving me a headache.

"MAL!"

"Ahhh!" I yelled, falling once again onto my bed.

" Don't don't that E!" I exclaimed, sitting up.
She giggled a bit, " Sorry but it isn't my fault since you're always lost in thought."
Point taken.
"Anyways....what's up?" I asked, grabbing my pillow to embrace it.
" Well I was working on a new dress when I got this nice beat in my head. I couldn't resist and started making up lyrics and I need you to see if they're good!" She explained, clutching her notepad.

I nodded and she began,
Hola,
Nice to meet you,
Wanna get a little close to me now,
Boom, pick it up, see me ride the beat yeah,
Come pick it up, I need ya, need ya,
Fall down to the ground,
Never seen nobody like you round town 2x,
Boom didi boom, didi boom, didi pow!

She stopped and looked up.
" What do you think? Good? bad? Ehh?"
I smiled, " It's amazing so far E, I really like it, especially the beat!"
She sighed of relief.
" Hahaha, you thought I wouldn't like it?!" I laughed.
She shrugged.
" You can never be so sure." She pointed out.
" Point taken once again." I said.

" What do you think I should add on next?" She asked.
I shrugged.
" How bout I'm gonna love ya like no one else has loved alright/all night!" We both said at the same time, only Sofia saying all night.

" That's great!! I'll add both in, making it sound nicer!" She said, as she wrote it down.
I smiled and looked out the window again.....
Our parents.....
My phone started to ding, meaning someone had sent a message.
I grabbed it and opened up the message,
It was from Ben,
Is something wrong?
Hi Dove, I know that I told you that I was coming back in a few but, could we talk tomorrow? There's something I have to really have to tell you.

Sounds serious....
I wonder what it was about?
I decided to reply right away.
Sure! We can talk to tomorrow, my house?

B: How about the park, maybe around...5:00?

D: Sure! See you then! <3

B: <3

I turned off my phone and placed on my side table.
" Was that Ben?" Sof asked, looking up from her notepad.
I nodded a 'yes'.
" What's going on, you seem a bit worried?"
I played around with my bracelet, something I did a lot when I was stress, worried, uncomfortable, or bored.
" He said he had something he  really wanted to tell me, it sounded serious, and now I'm worried about what he's going to say." I admitted, looking up at her.
" It does sound serious, hopefully nothing bad." She agreed.
I nodded,

Hopefully nothing bad.......
