"Am i seeing this right?" Tyler asked more to himself than to us.

"Ohh~ that's freaky." I commented looking at Ashlyns shadow. Even though she had cut her hair off in the phantom dimension, her hair is still the same as it's always been, long.

I obviously knew that it was going to happen but it's real freaky irl.

Ben and Aiden had dragged me to sit in between them at lunch. Aiden grabbed Ashlyns braid and held it up and look at her shadow. "Woah, that's pretty rad-"

"-Let go before I break your arm."

"This might have something to do with why injuries from the phantom dimension don't transfer over to our dimension" Logan said looking down at the table, thinking about what happened in the sorrel house.

"Speaking of injuries, how's yours holding up?" Ashlyn asked me. It's only been two weeks and it's healing quite fast.

"It's great, actually. I barely feel the pain and it's basically healed which is strange as a gash that deep should take around 4-6 weeks to heal. It's just a little sore if touched too hard." I shrugged.

Ashlyn nodded looking relieved. She then turned to Aiden and Ben. "And what about you guys? What happened?"

"Ah- right, that." Aiden kinda muttered nervously, very out of character. He look over me to Ben. "You sure you want me to tell 'em?"

Ben started writing on his phone, once he was done he put in his headphones and played music. "It's best to have these types of things out in the open if we're going to be a team. But I'm putting my headphones in til Aidens done."

"He's right though, it's probably best to let you guys know before you accidentally set him off or something." Aiden started

"Set him off?" Ashlyn asked

"Yup, but." His voice changed, it was deeper, raspy and felt a little threatening. "This conversation doesn't go outside of this group. Understood?"

He wasn't looking at me but at the others. The air was tense as Aiden glared at the others who nodded with a okay. Then he looked at me his glare has softened a little. I looked at him. I don't know why but he was really attractive right now.

"Mhm, alright." I responded in a slight daze. I think he noticed as he turned away from me and the tips of his ears were red. He started explaining Ben's past, how he was bullied and all that.

I wasn't really listening as I already knew what had happened in his past so I focused more on Ben, he looked anxious and fidgeting with his fingers. Picking at his nails and the skin around it.

Seeing that I put my hand in his and squeezed. He flinched a little bus calmed down almost instantly and began to fidget and play with my hand instead.

"Afterwards the leader, Shane would ask Ben you join his group. And every time Ben told him no."

😡🤬Fuck Shane, hurting my baby. I swear, I find that fucker and ____ _____ ___.

"Then one day, Shane decided to take things to a drastic level. Shane strangled Ben."

Unconsciously I squeezed Ben's had tighter as I felt myself get angrier and glared at the table. Ben obviously noticed how tense I was and started caressing my hand with his thumb while squeezing me back.
