You flatten out your knee length black dress before You brush your hair lightly so that it fell down your shoulders in natural curls.

"Mind if I come in?" You hear Benedict say politely from the doorway. You turn round and nod, smiling faintly.

"I brought you something" he says softly,
You knit your eyebrows together and smile faintly.

"What did you get me?" You ask, walking over to him.

"Hang on" he replies, fumbling for something in his suit pocket.
He pulls out a small box and holds it with two hands, looking at you sadly.
You flicker your eyes to Benedict and look at the box before looking back at him.

"What's that?" You ask slowly.
Benedict smiles down at the box before slowly handing it to you.

"Open it" he says quietly.
You slowly walk over to him and take the box from him. You slowly open the black lid and watch as it unveils a silver necklace.
You let your jaw drop as You place your finger on the locket. It was shaped as a heart with Lily's engraved into it. It was small and delicate and was supported by a thin silver chain.
You look up and see Benedict smiling at you.

"Ben, It's Beautiful" You say slowly, smiling slightly, removing the locket from the box.

"Open the locket." He says softly, taking the box from your hand.
you place your finger nails in the side of the locket and open it slowly.
You feel the corners of your mouth turn upwards. One the left side of the heart was a picture of Bonnie, she was laughing at something. You smile and laugh sadly at the photo before stroking the small picture and looking up at Benedict again.

"I thought you could do with your best friend today" he says softly.
He places the box onto his bed and takes the necklace from your hands.

"Turn round" he whispers.
You stand, facing the mirror as Benedict brings his hands to the front of your neck, and then to the back to fasten the neckless.
You place your hand on the locket as Benedict looks at you through the mirror.

"Beautiful" he says as he rests his head onto yours. through the mirror You smile at him sadly- your hand over the locket.

"Thank you" you say tenderly.
he smiles and nods.

"Why did you?-"you start

"Because I know your unhappy. I know your feeling insecure... And if I can't help you then I wanted to find something that would... I thought-"
he looks at the necklace

"I thought she would help you... You can always keep her close to you this way..."He looks at the floor before turning away and walking out of your room.

"You think you don't make Me happy?"
You turn round. Benedict stops and slowly faces you

"I think about slot of things Y/N... But yes sometimes it crosses my mind-"

"Well don't think that because it's a load of bullshit." You reply.
Benedict smiles slightly

"No I'm serious. When Bonnie died I wanted to fucking die. But you helped me get through it. I'm here because of you" you say softly to him. He smiles sadly and nods before walking over to you and placing a soft Kiss on your forehead.

"I'll meet you downstairs" he says softly, turning round and leaving his bedroom.
-
You sit on the end of the bed before feeling someone sit next to you.

"I just wanted to check how you were going" Oliver says softly, placing his hand on your knee. You smile sadly at his hand before flickering your eyes to him.
