Emily: Y/n I know Kevin was your crush since you went to the same pre-kindergarten school, but you know he doesn't feel the same way. So why force him into a marriage where neither the two of you will be happy? Yes, both your parents saw the pros and cons of what either family would bring, but time changes one's mind. Tell me, does your family like Kevin? Do they still think that their friendship with his family is still strong? 

Or are they bored of them now that time has passed by? *Emily pauses for a moment, tilting her head to the side looking at you confusingly then changing her voice into a sarcastic and shocking tone* Is it maybe... because Kevin's family is slowly going bankrupt and could possibly make them look weak if they were to continue on with this marriage? Hmm, the L/n's tied with the Richards could ruin potential friendships and connections if Kevin's family can't get back up on their feet soon. No wonder Kevin's parent's noticed that your family stopped visiting a year ago on every occasion or event they were invited to. 

It was around that time when they realized that his family asked to borrow or loan money from other acquaintances, no wonder they stopped communicating with them. My parents approve of us dating, not just because the family benefits from this marriage but the idea that we could potentially overthrow your family from their thrones in the social circle. You know, in case Kevin's family comes back strong with profits, you know that Kevin's father is a businessman competing with 30 other top million companies in the product industries. I don't plan on attacking you or your family but my family might since we are good at wearing masks around everyone too. It's not like your parent's started this war, to begin with, we were just kids before their reign grew more after their successes. 

Just because Kevin's mother adores you, doesn't stop the fact that you lie every single time about who you are. Remember that time you purposefully made your cousin Anabel cry by scraping her toe by the door? She was bleeding quite a lot, losing a nail too and you didn't even apologize afterwards. Anabel told me she couldn't walk for a while, I think it took 2 weeks before she could walk well again. There's also you making those girls cry on that Washington field trip on the 3rd day of the trip, no one wanted to sit or sleep next to you.

Something about how the lights mysteriously turned off while you were looking at yourself in the bathroom mirror of a restaurant.  

*As Emily begins to bring up previous things you did, she sees Kevin walking past the crosswalk to the sidewalk that leads to the two of you. Smirking Emily holds your hand while pinching it quickly*

Emily: I would love to keep listing away the things you did but I better get going now, Kevin is taking me out to a fancy restaurant for our date. I'll see you at the gala then Y/n I hope you don't wear the same dress or accessories as me, copycat's only bring their own downfall. If I were you...I wouldn't even show up to embarrass myself with no backup boyfriend to keep my head high. The moment me and Kevin announce our engagement is the moment everyone stares at you, whispering in front of you, laughing at you, as the rival steals what was once supposed to be yours. 

*No less than a minute did Emily run towards Kevin, seeing the two of them smiling at each other with loving eyes. Left you with a wave of indescribable anger inside your chest, clinching both your hands into a fist as you bit your bottom lip to keep your frustration from showing. Your mind was telling you to be quiet, don't cry, but your body didn't. As tears began falling down on the concrete sidewalk, a finger seemed to be wiping them away. It wasn't your finger since both your hands were still in a fist, turning your head to see the owner of the kind gesture was none other than Ben.*

*Ben was holding the cold sweet treat in his left hand while the right hand was currently busy wiping away your tears. After you stopped crying did he hand you a napkin from his pocket to help you recompose yourself, then he handed you your ice cream as he spoke.*

Ben: You know I wouldn't mind getting rid of them if makes you happy, it technically wouldn't bother me since it is kinda my job to end the lives of those who hurt others. Including those who harmed my princess. *Pats your head gently while kissing your cheek* I'm sorry I didn't ask for consent but it looked like you needed it.

Y/n: As much as I would love for them to disappear, I can't allow you to do that. I know that Karma will someday get them plus I don't want you to waste your time on them their not worth it. I don't mind these small gestures, because you are doing it out of kindness and care. Anyway... should we get going, Ben? *You held out your hand to him*

Ben: Duh let's go, I'm getting ticked off the more I think of what just happened here, I had to stop myself from wanting to kill that guy. 

*Once Ben took hold of your hand the two of you walked toward your house, good thing it was only 15 minutes away from your high school. Getting closer to the lonesome house in such a lively neighborhood, you almost didn't want to stop holding Ben's hand. Before the two of you could pass the front door to enter the house, Ben brought up a conversation that he needed to confirm with you.*

Ben: Y/n that guy named Kevin said that you were his bride-to-be or something back at the ice cream store, he's lucky it was just his phone that died. My voice was about to go crazy...like a higher and deep-pitched version for every word. The moment my voice or disguise starts to glitch away any electronic object near me will start acting up to my energy. That's a sign that everyone should run or avoid me because I won't be able to compose myself at all, let alone control my powers. Not even I could hear anyone anymore, it was as if all my senses disappear or never existed at all.

Y/n: Yeah about that... it's no lie, I was supposed to marry him after we graduate high school.

*Ben couldn't help but stop in his tracks, a silent yet disturbing atmosphere seemed to be forming on top of Ben. He turned slowly to face you, it seemed like he was really mad, and the disguise he had on slowly started to glitch away. Though you quickly explained to him the current situation and told him that you don't have any more feelings for Kevin, Ben still couldn't process the words that left your mouth. It was as if Ben was in a trance where his anger consumed his entire body, a few sparks were showing themselves over his hands. Waves of electricity formed around his green tunic as he started biting down his lip.*

*Ben wanted to talk to you but even he couldn't fight back the powers that were overtaking him. So what he did best was raise his hand and summoned your phone that was inside your pocket, without looking back at you he gently lowered the electronic onto the floor and glitched inside the screen. As soon as you saw Ben leave you ran to your phone and saw a window pop up, there were words written by Ben.*  

 "I'm SoRRy YoU hAd tO SeE ME ThIS wAy, BuT FoR YoUR SaFETy, i NeEd To COol oFf HeRe In tHe MaNSion.

-LoVE Ben.

*As you stood there for a while you reluctantly decided to sit there in a daze at what just happened, all you could do was break down mentally. Blaming yourself for causing this mess, but at the same time, you comfort yourself by telling yourself that Ben would come back.*
