Socially Awkward (Camila/You) Au

Your POV

I was quietly watching One Day At A Time on my laptop in my room until I heard banging at the front door making me freeze. I placed my laptop besides me and crept out of my room to see Wendall exiting his room as well.

"What was that?" He tiredly whispered.

"How the fuck am I supposed to know?" I asked with furrowed eyebrows.

"I don't know, just fucking check!" He quietly exclaimed.

I rolled my eyes and walked downstairs at a slow pace and turned on the porch light and peeked through the curtains to see a drunk Ben leaning his back against my front door while sipping on his beer.

All my fear vanished and now I was just annoyed.

I thought about leaving him there, but my kindness didn't agree with me, I sighed and opened my door as Ben fell back onto the ground making me stifle a laugh.

"Oh hey Y/N," he lazily smiled up at me.

"Benjamin."

He then started laughing drunkly, "my mum calls me that, she also calls me a disappointment, what does your mum call you?"

Well then...

"That's pretty sad," I commented with a frown.

I immediately stopped thinking about his sad life as I saw him falling asleep on the ground.

"Hey, sit up, you're not falling asleep on my property," I helped him up.

"Your stealing everything," he slurred out.

I raised my eyebrows up at him expressing my confusion. "You stole my ex-girlfriend," he frowned, "Camila was my everything, she eased the pain in this cruel world," he sadly sighed.

I gulped down a guilty feeling and I don't even know why I'm feeling guilty.

"I know I didn't treat her like the women she is, but fuck did I love her, I loved her so much Y/N," he forced out a laugh.

"I still fucking love her, I feel terrible knowing that I let her slip away."

I stared down at Ben feeling so much guilt going on inside me, I felt like I was robbing him of something and it made me furious with myself for being so generous.

"I want her back Y/N, but I know I lost her, I lost her to you," a tear escaped his eye.

I felt my stomach churn as I felt bad for 'stealing' Camila away from him.

"She looks at you the way I looked at her," he sighed.

"Ben, why are you telling me this?" I asked feeling pity for him.

"I don't know Y/N. I just want to make sure you treat her better than I ever could," he looked up at me with pleading eyes.

"Are you sure you didn't come here to guilt me out of Camila's and I's soon to be relationship?" I asked with my arms crossed.

"The last thing I want is to see her heartbroken Y/N, please don't back out."

I plopped down on the floor next to him feeling dejected and slightly uncomfortable about him drunkly spilling his feelings out to me and how he still has very strong feelings for Camila.
