Shattered

He thought of what happened in the past 10 hours, it seemed all a blur. One thing happened and before he really processed it another thing happened. What was happening!?! He was deep in thought until he felt his sister sit up from the bed.

"Hey sis." he smiled at her bed head,

"Oh hey Benj." she rubbed the tiredness from her eyes and hugged him. "How are you feeling?" she asked,

"Meh, can you wake up Mom?" Benji asked, Brit nodded and turned around in the bed to face their mom,

"Mom." she gently shook her awake, their mom stretched and yawned awake.

"Yeah sweety?" she asked sweetly, Brit nodded to Benji. She took the hint. She stood up and walked over to the side Benji was on. Before she could say anything he jumped in her arms and engulfed her in a hug. She felt a pool of tears on her shoulder, he was crying.

"I know it sucks, but hey, you will get through this." she was trying to reassure him but it wasn't doing much. After a few more tears were shed he wiped them off with his sleeve. He was slightly hiccuping. After his mom got him comfortable in bed again Brit sat at the end of the bed babbling about who knows what. Just then a knock on the door was heard.

"Come in." Mrs. WIthers said softly, just then Cal, Jack, Tyson, and the rest of the team flowed in.

"Hey." Benji mumbled, he was looking down at his hands which were shaking. Just then Benji was engulfed in a hug, the whole team was in a big group hug. He felt more tears creep down his cheek. He hugged them back, grateful they weren't mad. Everyone started talking at one,

"How do you feel?"

"When are you coming back?"

"You good bro?"

"Are you coming back to school soon?"

'So many questions!' Benji laughed to himself, "Ok, ok, one at a time. You're all talking at once." Benji laughed at their concerned faces.

Tyler was first to speak, "Are you feeling ok?" he looked the most worried, being team captain in all,

"Yeah, still a bit shocked or whatever." Benji gave a weak but genuine smile. They all sadly smiled back at him. Cal sat next to Benji and put his hand on Benji's back, rubbing it with his thumb. Benji's cheeks were brushed with pink but didn't stop him.

"Me and Brit are going to run home for a bit, love ya Benji!" she waved and walked out with Brit right behind her. Everyone took a seat, Tyler and Tyson at the end of the bed, Jake, Henry, Even, sitting in nearby chairs. Denny, Sam, Braden were sitting on the floor near the window. Carson was standing on the edge of Benji's bed near Cal and Rin was standing by the door awkwardly.

Cal put his hand gently, moved his hand from his back to Benji's hand and rubbed Benji's knuckles.

"So are you two dating or something?" Even asked smiling,

"I mean I guess." Benji mumbled, the two boys were blushing like crazy.

"AWWW!" everyone screamed in excitement, this made them blush even harder. They didn't know that was even possible. Tyson noticed and nugged Tyler, they smile at each other,

"Well, uhhh." Tyson started, "We're dating!" Tyson smiled ear to ear holding Tyler hand in his hand in the air. Everyone started laughing and smiling. They talked for hours and hours.

"Opps, sorry Benji we got to go." Henry said, checking the time.

"Oh, ok, see ya!" they all waved and walked out except for Cal. Benji laid down in his bed absolutely exhausted. Cal was standing off to the side amaring how cute Benji looked.

"Cuddles." Benji mumbled gripping the air towards Cal, Cal smirked and laid beside him. Benji hugged him tightly, and pushed his head into Cal's chest.

"I love you Benji." Cal whispered to himself, Benji head this and smiled.
