The Devil Wears Pink (Ben Hargreeves) [discontinued]

CHAPTER EIGHT - GUARDIAN ANGEL

THIS IS A SLIGHTLY ORIGINAL CHAPTER BEFORE I CAN GET BACK TO WRITING AGAIN. MOSTLY COZ I WAS IN THE MOOD FOR FLUFF AND ANGST

A TRIGGER WARNING BECAUSE THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS THE MENTION OF ABUSE, SUICIDE AND YEAH SUICIDE

OH AND UHHH THIS ISN'T IN LILITH'S POINT OF VIEW

sometimes ben disappears, he knew klaus wouldn't mind, he wouldn't mind at all, and when he came back to scold klaus about drug abuse, klaus wouldn't question where he had gone

today was one of those days, where he'd disappear, he'd usually check on his siblings but it was different this time, because she was back

"lilith?!"
"siblings"

ben turned around almost instantly at the mention of her name. he had never turned on the television (because he's dead) and klaus only used magazines for...reasons, so he had never been able to see lilith ever since he died

she looked gorgeous

klaus noticed that ben wasn't talking as much, (even with five's surprise return which shook all of them) he didn't really blame ben though, seeing his childhood sweetheart all grown up but not being able to see him, that would make anyone silent for a while

even during their father's funeral, ben didn't stay next to klaus, instead he decided to shelter himself under lilith's pink umbrella, trying to hold her hand but instead it passes her's so easily. ben was getting frustrated and only klaus could see his pain

ben could only scoff and shake his head at the low maturity level of his two brothers as they both go head to head, battling each other. lilith and klaus begin to chant and laugh at the stupidity before them

"wait, are they actually going to..." ben meets lilith's eyes, but she wasn't looking at him but through him. diego and luther were getting dangerously close to his statue

ben never really liked the statue, he had always thought it never looked like him. so he doesn't bat an eye as the statue's head gets decapitated from the body

"no!" lilith ran towards the statue, throwing her pink umbrella to the side, letting the rain soak her blonde hair. ben watches her and walks up to her, his hands in the pockets of his hoodie

"rose, that's not even me" he mutters, to no one although klaus heard it

"it's alright ben, i got you" he hears lilith's voice shakes, but she didn't cry. he hasn't seen her cry eversince he died. she holds the metal body and head close to her

"rose, i'm here" ben takes a step closer, kneeling in front of her. he brings his hand close to her face, but as he tries to touch her face his ghosts right through her

he sighs and pulls his hand back. what were you expecting? he asks himself, standing up but still
not leaving her side

"klaus, do you think ben ever thinks about me?" lilith's question caught ben off guard, but as soon as the question starts to sink in ben immediately kneels back down next to her "i-i do, rose. rose please!"

he looks over at klaus who watches the both of then sadly "klaus please please tell her that i do, tell her that i think about her every single day, please"
