Victors pov
(Yes, I am well aware Benji doesn't have any siblings but for the sake of this story he has an older brother who is named after me- Aeden)
I sat at my desk doing homework on my laptop when Pilar walked into my room "can I borrow $10" she asked I shook my head "no" she frowned
"please"
"no"
"Please"
"No"
"Victor, I just wanna get-"
My phone rang and she groaned
I looked at the name and it read "Aeden" which was Benji's brother
"Hello?" I said "hey, um, Benji is sitting in his room crying, breathing heavily, shaking and he won't talk. I don't know what to do and I have to go to work" he said "what? What was he doing? I'm coming right now, tell him I'm coming" I said "benji, Victor's coming" I heard him say, and also a small muffled sob
I hung up the phone and stood up to put my shoes on "what happened" Pilar asked "I need to go see Benji, here, take the $10 dollars and go" I said handing it to her and probably giving her more than she asked "is he alright" she asked taking the money from my hand "I don't know" I grabbed my jacket and walked by her to get to the front door "I'll update you later" I opened the front door and ran to Benji's house
-
"Victor, finally you're here. He's upstairs" I went up the stairs and slowly entered his room
The sight I saw broke my heart
Benji sat in the corner of his bed, hyperventilating with his knees to his chest and his comfort blanket balled up in his arms
"Baby, what's wrong?" I asked sitting down on his bed. Aeden said he had to leave meaning it was just me and him in the house. I looked around and noticed he had his laptop open and his homework paper spread out on his bed..that's probably what happened. I knew he had a lot of homework to do just like I did and whenever he gets too overwhelmed with something he has panic attacks
I closed the laptop, collected all the papers, and placed them on his desk
"Look at me, Benji" I said placing my hand on his back. He looked up at me. His eyes were red and puffy and he had tear stains down his cheeks. I grabbed a tissue from his nightstand and started to wipe the tears from his face. When I threw the tissue out, Benji burst into tears again, shaking as he pulled his blanket close to him once again
I pulled him to my chest and let him cry for as long as he needed, I ran my hands through his hair and rubbed his back gently in an attempt to calm the poor boy down
