𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐈𝐎𝐔𝐒, benny rodriguez.

xxii.

i sipped my milkshake. the diner was packed and full of people.

"you know, the first person to discover milk must've been pretty disgusting" phillips said.

"that's disgusting" i replied. he giggled.

this was the last weekend before school started, the last weekend before i had to face the people i hated. everything was so different.

"you okay?" he asked. i nodded.

"i know you ally, you can't lie to me"

i sighed. "i don't know what i'm gonna do at school. i don't talk to kenny or denunez anymore, i basically have no friends left. well except you of course"

"i'll be with you, so will charlotte" he said. i nodded.

"it's just weird y'know, ever since i've been here so many things have happened. i just feel lost sometimes" i said.

he reached over the table and grabbed my hand. he traced small circles on my palm.

i smiled. "whatever you need, i'll be there for you." he said.

"thank you." i smiled at him. he was currently my only friend. i didn't talk to anyone except for scotty anymore. i missed them a lot. but benny is what ruined it all.

"wanna come to my house? i'll show u my legos" he said. i giggled.

"i gotta ask issac first" i said. i pulled out my phone and texted him.

isac 🧌

im going to daniel's kay?

👍

i rolled my eyes. "i can go" i said. phillips called over the waiter and payed for our food.

we walked to his house. the sun was setting and it was beautiful. i took a picture and posted it to my story.

"your so cute" he said.

"how?"

"i don't know, you just are."

while walking to his house, we passed by downtown. the last two people i wanted to see had to be there. of course. benny was holding anna's hand while walking down the street with some of their friends. he looked miserable.

we finally got to his house. it was pretty nice. he opened the door and i stepped in. there were pictures of his family on the wall. they were cute.

"where's your mom?" i asked. the whole way here i was preparing myself to meet her.

"oh, no one's here" he shrugged.

"oh"

"so this is the living room, and down here is my room" he said, opening the door. his room was pretty nice too. he had a gaming setup in the corner and a few posters on the wall.

"i like it" i said. he smiled and sat on the bed. i sat down next to him.

"my legos are on that shelf over there." he said. there were a few sets, pirate ships and some space ships.

"wow, i like them. they're nice" i smiled at him.

"thanks. they took me long" he said.

"anyway, what do you wanna do? we can watch a movie if you want." he said.

"yea that sounds good. but i don't have any clothes to change into" i said. the outfit i was wearing was uncomfortable to relax in.

he got up and pulled out sweatpants and a oversized t shirt from his closet. he tossed it over to me. "you can change in my bathroom" he said.

i thanked him and headed over to his bathroom. after i changed, i went back and sat down next to him. he put on the conjuring.

"your joking" i said.

"what?" he asked.

"there's no way i'm watching this movie. i'll have nightmares" i said.

"well that's what i'm here for" he smirked. i rolled my eyes.

he had his hands behind his head resting on the wall. the faint light from the tv filled the room. i stared at him. he was pretty, but no one compared to benny. honestly all i wanted was him, but he broke me.

i layed down next to him, resting my head on his chest. all i wanted was comfort. he rubbed my back.

"thank you" i spoke softly.

"for what?" he asked.

"your so nice to me. i don't deserve it" i said. i felt guilty.

"of course you do. your amazing" he said. i smiled. i ended up staying the night. we both cuddled the whole night, but a part of me wasn't ready. i didn't want to change what i had. my friends, benny, the sandlot. i missed it all.
