Welcome To The Fallout - A Crown The Empire fic

Leaving them in the dust...

I'm completely done with these guys, they only wanted me as a prize. I'm just a person, not a plushie you win at a carnival and then you toss it away after a month. When guys do this type of things to girls, it just pisses me off. Nobody should be treated like a prize, they should be treated with love. All I know is that Bennett, Andy, Brent, and Hayden were the only guys on that bus who didn't piss me off. I saw the guys walking back to the RV and I sat down on the rock and pulled out my phone to message Bennett.

"Ben, can you come here. I need to talk to you. Just you. - Tiffany." I typed into the phone.

I waited a minute or two and saw that Bennett saw me sitting on the rock by a bus sign and crouched beside me. 

"What's wrong, Tiffany?" Bennett asked.

"I've realized the guys treated me as if I were a prize." I sniffle and wipe the tear that was sliding down my face.

"Well, you're most definitely not a fucking prize, you're a fantastic girl."

"Thanks, but I just, feel like I am, by the way that Brandon said..." 

"Brandon called you a prize. Now that's just plain rude."

 "Yeah... I'm aware. The thing that's bugging me is that I don't know whether to stay here or leave."

"I bet you know what I'm going to say, but you must know, I want you to stay, you will get discovered and then maybe you won't have to deal with this any longer." 

"I would love to stay if they decided to treat me right and not fight for me." 

"Don't worry, I'll always be here for you if they don't."

I wrapped my arms around Bennett's neck and hugged him. He was the only one I could really trust, he didn't cause me any trouble or pain. I think I can make it to Cali and find a way to get discovered, with them, as much as I'm going to not like it.

"Thank you so much, Bennett, you made me make my decision."

"You're so welcome, and you really deserve to stay, I will have your back if they decide to do anything."

"Thanks, I just hope that everything will get better."

"It will, you just need to power through this situation and go on."

"I will, it will just take some time."

Bennett grabbed the handle of my suitcase and pulled me up from the rock. "Let's go back to the bus and try to get you settled in once again."

I smiled. "I'd like that very much, Bennett."

"You deserve it." He replied.
