Fate is nasty thing (Bal)

Chapter 2

Mal's P.O.V

"GUYS THE CAR IS GOING TO BE HERE IN LIKE, NOW!" Evie shouted to us. I heard Carlos and Jay scream, "NICE" but I didn't say anything. All I did was throw some clothes into a bag and a my spell book. beep beep. I guess that's our cue. Before we knew it, we were pulling up to the front of the castle. We all piled out of the car, like we did five years ago. The only difference was, Carlos and Jay weren't fighting over anything. But Jay did push Carlos out.
"Get up." Evie commanded. I looked back and Ben was standing in front of us in a royal blue suit, no surprises there. He looked at us and smiled.
"It's really nice to see all of you again." Ben smiled.
"You majesty." Jay fake curtsied.
"How do you do." Carlos bowed. They are idiots. I wanted to punch them but I didn't, because it was pretty funny. Ben gave them a half smile. Ben turned and looked a me, probably waiting for me to say something. I looked at him for half a second then looked away. Then I heard, "Ben." So I looked to see Evie greeting him. Thank god, I though he was going to look at me for the whole time. Ben gestured to the castle. we all followed him up the steps. When we got inside Ben stopped a maid who was walking to the kitchen.
"Matilda, take these four to their rooms." Ben said to the maid.
"Wait, we're staying here?" I asked.
Ben smiled, "Yes." When he saw my expression he asked worriedly, "Is that ok?" I just glanced at him and shrugged, "sure, whatever." I answered. I'd rather be staying in he dorms again. That way, Evie and I shared a room.
"I'll be back later." The maids will help you with whatever we need." He smiled at Evie, Jay, and Carlos an he looked at me, not smiling, his eyes were wide and soft? Then, he walked out the double doors, out of the castle. The maid, I guess, named Matilda brought us all to our rooms; which were conveniently, all in the same hallway. I walked to my room, and the others did the same. It was, like the rest of the castle, a light color, but not pink. Thank god! Our bags were already in our rooms and everything was already put away. About ten minutes later, Everyone walked in.
"Hey Mal. Were going to go walk around." Evie said.
"You coming?" Carlos asked. I shook my head.
"No, I'm not feeling so good, I'm just going to stay here." I told them. They noises and walked out. That was a lie, I just wanted to explore the rest if the castle, without them breathing down my neck.
I entered a big room. It was at the south end of the castle. It had a bed, a table, a couch, a desk. I had a feeling I knew were I was. The light blue walls have it away. It was Ben's room. I have never been in here before. Never. Just walking around the room game me a tingly feeling, like something was off. I approached his bed, and it had a nightstand next to it. On the nightstand was a lamp and a picture of him and Audrey. She looked so loving, snuggling up to him, but Ben looked slightly awkward. When I picked the picture up, something fell out the frame and landed on the floor. So I picked it up, ready to put it back in the picture frame. But, I couldn't. It was a picture of me. Well, of me and Ben. We were at this lake, and we were smiling at each other- but it didn't look familiar. Why does he have this. I sat down on his bed, trying to figure out why I felt so weird to be looking at it. It felt wrong. I looked... I don't know, I've never felt that feeling; whatever if was. It made me really uncomfortable to look at it, I wanted to rip it in half.
"Looking for something?" a voice asked. I looked up to see Ben, standing in the doorway, leaning against the frame.
"Why do you have this." I stood up strait.
"I just wanted to keep a piece of you, of us." He answered looking at the floor. I walked in front of him, and he smiled. I narrowed my eyes.
"It's been five years Ben, let it go." I told him.
"I don't want to." He frowned.
"Your getting married, and what we "had", that was fake. I never loved you, it's a joke that you actually think that." I sneered, putting my fingers up while saying, had. Walking to the door, I pushed the picture in Ben's hand.

Ben's P.O.V
''''''''""""""""
I swear my heart just broke into a million pieces. That can't be true. I know I loved her. I think I still do. I looked down at the picture, and I put it back in the back of the picture frame. I know she still loves me. I know it was real. She isn't evil, she never was. I'm going to prove it to her, even if it is the last thing ill do. I need to know that it wasn't fake, that it wasn't just in my head.
