Obsession, Sequel to Obsessed // The Sandlot

I woke up with a rushed feeling. I felt jittery it was like I could sense something bad was happening. I knew someone or something was upset I immediately looked out my window and saw Benny sitting on his bed with his head in his hands. His back shuddered and I could instantly tell he was crying. I was mad at him for waking me up but worried as hell of what could make him cry.

I pulled a crop top on over my sports bra and hopped out my window before opening his. I hopped in and he looked at me with red eyes.

"I hate you for having such a strong bond with me" I said and he cried more. I looked at his lap and saw this picture of him with a girl that had her arms wrapped around him as he kissed her forehead. She did look like me, a lot like me but it wasn't me and that made me have a pang of jealousy but pushed it aside.

"Benny your gonna tell me what happened to Jessica because your upset and that makes me upset and your hurting yourself because of it" I said and he sighed. He wiped his eyes before looking away from me.

"We dated for about two months when I was woken up at midnight with a phone call. She was going on a trip with her parents and a drunk truck driver ran into the side of her car. Her parents immediately died to the impact but she had a horrible head injury and was in the hospital they weren't sure what had happened but her brain was unresponsive and they couldn't do anything so they just let her die. This girl she made my world more then anyone. I had never had anyone but you and my mom and now I had this girl and she was amazing and oh I just lost her like that in one night I locked myself away for three weeks before coming out and once I did you looked so much like her and when you called me Benji oh it killed me because she was the only one who ever called me that" he said shaking his head and putting his head back in his hands.

"I'm sorry" I said and he shook it off.

"Don't be it wasn't your fault you didn't know" he said and I nodded.

"If you only dated for two months why did you stop talking to me a month before?" I asked. I hoped he would answer, this was eating me away and I wouldn't be able to understand why.

"I was scared, we were hanging out at the ice cream parlor the one day and the way I watched us and how we clicked I could laugh with you and you could laugh with me and you made me so happy and I could tell I made you happy then I looked into your eyes then your personality and just you and I fell in love. I scared myself so badly because I knew you would never ever feel the same and we were only best friends to you and I could never control myself around my crushes so I tried to disappear then Jessi came along and I thought she was cute and at first she was a distraction but I really fell hard then after she died the first thing I thought of was you and I felt so guilty it practically killed me" he spoke and I was at a loss for words. He avoided all eye contact possible and I couldn't believe what he was saying. I got scared and hopped out the window before I lost our friendship.
