|Grace Cameron POV|

" hey so you have the science homework right?" I questioned.

Ben nodded and got into his backpack.

He pulled out the science homework and handed it to me.

"Thanks." I said with a smile and he just staired at me with this look that actually made me uncomfortable kinda.

"So what are you doing this weekend?" Ben asked me.

"I might actually go to the cinema with some friends from rugby but that's about it... why?" I said.

He shook his head and said " no reason really just wondering." He said taking his hands out of this pockets.

" oh.... I better get going, my brothers are waiting for me." I told Ben.

He nodded and held eye contact with me.

I gathered my things then went to say goodbye when suddenly I felt myself being pushed back into the corner of the small room.

I was shocked. " b-ben...." He stared kissing me, I pushed him off of me.

" I don't like you like that...... a-and I thought you were with Imogen?" I questioned.

He looked at me and stepped closer to me.

"Well I guess I realized I could have something way better than her.... She's so boring anyway." Ben said.

I shook my head and told him this wasn't right and I really had to leave and he said....

" I don't care." I was confused but then more aggressively he started kissing me I wasn't kissing back though.

I tried to push him away and this time he held me back.

" BEN!" I yelled. He threw his hand over my mouth and started kissing my neck.

"I could give you everything you've ever wanted." He whispered in my ear.

At this point my heart was pounding and I thought I would start hyperventilating soon.

"BEN STOP!..... I'm not o-kay seriously!" I cried.

"You're fine." He muttered and continued kissing me.

He put his hand up my skirt and I kept trying to kick him away from me.

Eventually I brought my knee up high enough to kick him right in the kneecap so he feel to the ground.

"YOU BITCH!" Ben yelled.

I grabbed my bag and ran as fast as I could down the halls.

I was hyperventilating so bad I honestly started to go numb.

I pushed the doors open and started running to the rugby locker rooms where I'd hope someone would be.

I rounded a corner and ran into someone and fell to the ground sobbing.

" whats wrong?" The voice said.

I couldn't even pay attention long enough to see who it was.

This is all my fault.....

I put myself in a room with a stranger.

"I-I c-can't b-b-breathe!" I sobbed.

"Hey heyyy it's okay... can you look at me?" The voice asked.

I turned my head upwards to see Nick Nelson kneeling by my side looking heavily concerned.

"Focus on your breathing.." Nick said.

"In"

"Out"

"In"

"Out"

I took my eyes off him for a moment and in the gentlest voice he said,

"Keep looking at me, you're okay." He said.

I kept focusing on him for about 4 minutes and realized I wasn't crying or hyperventilating anymore.

" what happened??" Nick asked genuinely concerned I think.

" um...." I thought for a moment.

"I just... started having a panic attack..." I told him.

That wasn't a complete lie but it wasn't the truth either.

" okay but what caused the panic attack?" He pushed further.

" I-" we were suddenly interrupted by my brothers.

" where were you! We've been waiting to leav-" Josh stopped talking.

" why are you crying?" He asked me then looked over at Nick.

" um we were.... Just talking and I was crying...because I fell." I said quickly.

I felt nicks eyes burning into me like no other.

" yeah I don't believe you." Grant said.

I started walked down to where my mom's car should be waiting for me and my brothers ignoring the three boys behind me conversating and yelling for me to stop and to talk to them.

I don't plan on telling anyone about what happened between me and Ben.

For one what if nobody believed me?

He seems like a pretty known guy and I'm sure a lot of people like him.

I don't know how I'm going to be able to speak to Imogen though.

I opened the passenger door of my mom's car and sat down quickly.

"What's wrong?" My mom asked me.

I shook my head and told her everything was fine and just looked out car window.

Actually.... I don't think I'm fine.
