I Won't Give In *a brustoff fanfic*

Chapter 1

~ Ben's pov ~

I sat on the steps of the school smoking my cigarette.

"Hey, mate." Sam said sitting beside me.

"Hey." I said and blew smoke out.

"What are you doing for coming back  to school weekend?" He asked.

"Throwing a huge party like always."  I said.

"Sweet. Inviting the whole school again?" He asked.

"Fuck yeah." I said. He smiled.

"There's a new kid and I heard he's pretty cute." He said.

"I know I'm pretty cute." Cameron said sitting beside him. I chuckled. "No but seriously, who are we talking about?" He asked.

"Apparently there's a new kid coming and according to your boyfriend here, he said that he's supposedly cute." I said. He nodded.

"Please don't get attached." He said to me. I sighed.

"He won't be like Danny, and who even said that I'll fall for this new kid?' I asked.

"You will, trust me." Sam said. I sighed and put my cigarette out and stood up grabbing my guitar and bag. I walked inside. Everyone looked at me and I smiled.

"Party at my house tomorrow night!" I yelled. Everyone cheered. "Everyone's invited like always!" I said loudly. That made everyone cheer louder. I smiled and walked to my locker and grabbed my binder. I heard footsteps coming towards me. I looked over and saw a new kid, he was pretty fucking attractive, not going to lie. "What's up?" I asked.

"When you say everyone's invited, does that include new kids?" He asked.

"Yeah. What's your name?" I asked.

"Denis." He said.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Ben." I said. I noticed he had a tattoo on his chest. His accent is different, he's not from here.

"I know who you are." He said. I nodded. "You in a band?" He asked

"Actually, yeah." I said.

"Nice." He said. The bell rang.

"Well, gotta get to class." I said.

"Right." He said.

"What's your first hour?" I asked.

"It's Maths." He said.

"I have that class as well, come on." I said and we started walking. "So you're not from here are you?" I asked.

"No, I'm from the Ukraine." He said.

"Nice." I said and walked into the class. I walked to the table that I sit at with Sam, Cam and James. The guys were already there.

"Told you he was cute." Sam whispered to me.

"He is but I don't know." I said.

"Denis, you can sit with James, Sam, Ben and Cameron." The teacher said. Denis walked over and sat beside me.

"So, Denis, this is Sam his boyfriend Cameron and our friend James. We're in a band together." I said. He waved at them. The teacher gave him his textbook.

"Alright, so, we're going to start working on page 10. Numbers one through ten. It has to be done by the end of class." The teacher said. My phone vibrated in my pocket. I slid it out and saw it was a text from Danny's mum.  I read it.

Danny mum: Ben, sorry to inform you, but Danny has been emitted into a mental hospital. You can see him if you would like. He tried killing himself.

Once  I read that my heart dropped. He tried killing himself...I texted her back.

Benjamin: Is he okay? Who found him?

Danny mum: I did, he's okay.

I sighed a big sigh of relief. Thank god.

It was after school and I started walking to my car when I heard someone calling my name.

"Ben! Ben!" I looked over and saw Denis.

"Hey, what's up?" I asked.

"I was wondering if you could give me a ride home? My mom bailed on me." He said.

"Sure." I said and we walked to my car and got in. I started it and drove off. "Where do you live?" I asked. He put it into the gps on his phone. I heard the it talking. "You can turn it off, you live next door to me." I said. He nodded and turned it off. I pulled up to my house and parked and we got out.  

"I'll see you tomorrow." He said and walked inside his house. I walked inside my house and put my stuff down.

"Mum, I'm going out. I'll be back later." I said.

"Alright, please be careful." She said. I nodded and walked out and to my car. I got in and started it and drove off to this mental hospital that Danny's mum told me he was at. I got there and parked and went inside. I walked to the front desk.

"How can I help you?" The lady asked.

"I'm here to see Daniel Worsnop." I said. She started typing on her computer.

"Alright, here's a visitor's pass. Clip it to your shirt. I'll tell the nurse that he has a visitor. What's your name?" She asked.

"Benjamin Bruce." I said. She nodded and grabbed the phone and dialed a number and talked to someone.

"Go sit over at one of the tables." She said. "But first, do you have any sharp objects on you?" She asked.

"No ma'am. I left whatever I had in my car." I said.

"Alright, go on." She said. I walked to a table and sat down and tapped the table softly.

"Ben?" I heard Danny ask. I looked up.

"Danny." I said my voice breaking. I got up and hugged him. He hugged back.

"What are you doing here?" He asked after pulling away. We sat down.

"Your mum texted me this morning when I was in Maths and told me you were here and I wanted to see you." I said. He smiled. "Danny, why did you do this?" I asked. He sighed.

"I just couldn't handle us breaking up and my drinking and my cutting. It was horrible." He said. I sighed.

"Danny, I thought you stopped cutting?" I asked.

"I did." He said. "I swallowed pills." He said. I sighed and rubbed his hand.

"I love you, Danny." I said.

"I love you, too, Ben." He said. "Let me tell you something." He said.

"Tell me." I said.

"You need to move on from me. I broke up with you because it got too much for me." He said. "I will forever love you, but I couldn't handle it anymore." He said. I sighed.

"Alright." I said.

"Danny, time for your medicine." The nurse said. Danny sighed and stood up. I stood up as well.

"I love you, Danny." I said.

"I love you, too, Ben." He said and we hugged. I pulled away and left. I sighed and drove home. When I got there I got out and walked inside.

"Dinner is done if you are hungry." My mum said.

"Not hungry, mum." I mumbled.

"You're always hungry." She said.

"Well not tonight!" I yelled and walked upstairs and into my room slamming the door. I threw my bag on the ground and stripped to my boxers and plopped down on my bed.
