I Wani Spend My Life With That Gator.

Chapter: 17 I Wani Be There For You

March 17th 201M B.C 2028 (midnight)

Ben's world froze completely, the woman that he spent four years with and then threw it down the drain was here once again, she had a child as well. Ben's stomach flipped and curled at seeing her again, she looked tired, exhausted, mentally drained and remorseful. She looked fifteen years older than she would right now, she was only a year older than Ben and she looked like she had hit rock bottom.

Lunara felt a growl rising from her throat, she had no clue why this was happening, it was either the way Mia used and hurt Ben before during their relationship together or the fact that this poor child was up this late and most likely tired. Lunara crossed her arms and watched as the two kept eye contact, after ten more seconds of silence the red Parasaurolophus broke her gaze with Ben and finally noticed Lunara.

"Lunara? What are you two doing here?" Her voice was fragile, something that Lunara had never heard before when they were 'friends' back in high school. She looked terrible to say the least, and sounded terrible as well.

Lunara kept her arms crossed on her chest as she glared at the marooned menace. "Having a date with my boyfriend, the one you abandoned and put the blame on back at prom!" Mia winced at her outburst, rose just looked at her mother sadly, it was clear that she didn't like having her mommy yelled at.

"D-Don't talk to mommy like that! She is amazing and she would never do t-that!" Mia winced even harder, this was noticed by the young girl who clutched her mother's finger. "M-Mommy?"

Mia turned her gaze away from the now judging stare that her daughter was giving her. Mia closed her eyes and timidly looked away, completely ashamed and regretful for what she had done all those years ago. Ben looked at the woman, the woman he tried to forget, the woman who had made his life a living hell sometimes and other times made it heaven.

His fists were balled at the moment, tension building up within him right now. After a moment he released his hands and sighed, his eyes were not judging nor angry like his girlfriends. He put his hand on his girlfriends shoulder and gave her a simple look, her own face melting at the sight of the man she trusted. The look was a simple one, the one where if you saw it would mean 'don't, she's had enough.'

Lunara couldn't help but look at the young girl who was next to her mother and still clutching her mother's hand, Lunara felt worry building up in the pit of her stomach.

'She couldn't.'

'Could she?'

Lunara couldn't help but stare at the young Parasaurolophus, her bright beautiful blonde hair was a stark contrast to her mother's, hers was unkept and looked like it hadn't been washed in a few months. The little girl's skirt and blouse looked tidy and washed neatly while her mother had some grime and oil stains; she at least thinks it's oil from the smell it gave off.

The glasses the little Parasaurolophus wore were neatly cleaned and the prescription lenses looked like they were brand new, no scratches or anything on them, besides the actual frames since it had a few smudge marks on them. The older Parasaurolophus, her eyes, her eyes looked dull and tired. Lunara couldn't help but pity the red Parasaurolophus, it looks like she hasn't had a good night sleep in years.

Lunara looked back between Rose and Ben, that pit in her stomach was opening up more and more she looked at the young girl and Ben. She needed to know, she needed to fit the time frame so her worries could relax... Or...

Lunara sighed, her arms were crossed but she kept her gaze down at the stone path that lead from the entryway to the outside area parking lot. "Mia... How old is she?"

Mia's eyes widened, she winced and stared down at her daughter. Her daughter's ruby eyes staring into her dull icy blue ones. She muttered stomach out, Lunara's eyes arched as she pressed further. "What was that?"
