Mine (Unedited) (Discontinued?)

Chapter 9

When they reentered the house, Jeff avoided her for the rest of the day. Every time she tried to talk to him, he either ignored her or gave her a look that very clearly told her to go away. Kendra didn't know what his problem was, but she gave him his space.

However, after another week of getting the cold shoulder, Kendra was pissed. He had no reason to treat her so coldly. If anything, she should be ignoring him, after all he was the one who tried to seduce her after she asked an innocent question.

Fuming, Kendra pounded on Jeff's bedroom door incessantly. She refused to be ignored for no reason any longer. When the door finally opened, she glared furiously at him.

"Jeff, what the fuck is your-" she cut herself off when a brunette she didn't recognize appeared behind him with only a sheet wrapped around her.

"What?" Jeff asked casually, as if he wasn't standing half naked in front of her.

"Who's she?" the brunette asked, a hint of jealousy in her voice.

"No one, Tasha. Get back in the bed, I'll be there in a minute."

Kendra watched the brunette, Tasha, eye her suspiciously before doing what she was told.

"What do you want, Kendra?" Jeff asked, drawing the attention of the shorter girl.

Kendra forgot why she had been so mad, and she had no idea why she felt so hurt now. She shook her head, trying to clear her confusing thoughts.

"Who's that?" Kendra asked, unsure why she cared.

"It's none of your business, Kendra. What was so important that you felt you needed to beat up my door?"

"I was just...I just wanted to know why you've been ignoring me."

She stared at him, feeling betrayed for reasons that were beyond her. She shouldn't care who Jeff was sleeping with. They only knew each other for a month, and half that time they were fighting for Christ's sake! Still, the sadness she felt was overwhelming. She was amazed tears weren't pouring down her face already.

"I got bored of you. If BEN hadn't let you go, you would be dead."

She felt her jaw drop slightly at his answer. She had completely forgotten that he only saw her as a toy, something to entertain him until he got bored and threw it away. Kendra looked away, trying to hide the tears she so desperately wanted to stop.

"I thought we were friends, Jeff."

A snort of laughter made her look at him again, only to be blinded by rage when she saw he was struggling to hold back hysterical laughter. The next thing she knew, her hand was stinging and Jeff was rubbing his cheek and glaring down at her.

"Go to hell, you heartless bastard," she growled. To make sure he knew just hurt and upset she was, she flipped him off. Without giving Jeff a chance to respond to her actions, Kendra walked to her room at the opposite end of the hall.

Kendra slammed the door behind her before sinking to the floor. Bringing her knees to her chest and covering her face with her hands, she began to cry. When there was a knock on her door, she stood slowly. She wiped away her tears, then opened the door. She stared dejectedly at BEN, who was giving her a concerned look.

Instead of asking what was wrong like she expected, he stepped forward and surrounded her in a hug. At the kind gesture, she broke down in tears again. While she sobbed into his shirt, BEN closed the door and brought her to her bed. When they were both comfortable, he began to run his fingers through her hair.

The action soothed her enough that her sobs began to grow quiet. The entire time Kendra cried, BEN comforted her. At one point he actually began to hum video game music. He never once asked her what happened, nor did he complain at her loud blubbering. Eventually, she ended up falling asleep in his arms from sheer exhaustion.

BEN carefully moved her off of his lap, covering her with the blanket before leaving the room. He had heard the entire conversation from this room right next to Jeff's. He knew by now the skank he had been fucking when Kendra interrupted would be dead and gone by now, so he didn't bother knocking when he reached Jeff's room.

"What the hell, BEN? Get out!" Jeff shouted.

BEN ignored him, continuing his stride until he was right in front of Jeff. Before the dick could comprehend what was going on, BEN pulled his arm back and sent it flying. BEN glared as Jeff recovered from his punch, just barely refraining from ripping the bastards head off and hanging it in his room as a trophy.

"Fuck was that for?!" Jeff yelled at him, holding his hand to his cheek.

"For making Kendra cry, you ass! For still thinking of her as a toy after a month of getting to know her. For laughing in her face when she called you a friend. The list goes on and on."

"Fucking hell, BEN, you didn't have to punch me!"

"Yes, I did bastard. You needed to know the pain she felt. Fuck, I should punch you again, or better yet beat your ass into the ground and then some just so you can feel half of what she's feeling right now."

"Why the hell does it matter so much to you?! It's not like she likes you anymore than I like her."

"You're kidding me, right? This a joke? From day one, when all she would do was glare at you, I was nice to her! When she hated you with a vengeance, she told me all about her life before you came in and ruined it."

Silence followed, making BEN scoff in disgust. "You know what? I'm done with your pathetic ass. Be warned, the next time you make her cry, I will not show mercy." With that said, BEN stormed out of Jeff's room.
