Ben POV
Mal wanted to watch a movie with me so we are now in my room finding a movie to watch on Netflix.

"I wanna watch something sad."  Mal says as I'm clicking through the collection of movies and shows that Netflix offers.

"Why?" I ask questionably

"I don't know I just feel like watching something that'll make me cry, you know?"

"No I really don't 'know' but we can watch one anyway. Just don't get mad if I fall asleep." I laugh.

She didn't find that funny.

Mal took the remote and I put my arm around her shoulders as we settle into the couch.

She stops at a movie titled 'A Girl Like Her', and I read the description out loud.
"A hidden camera and a documentary being filmed on campus help a bullied, suicidal, high schooler turn the tables on her queen-bee tormentor."

"Look Ben it even has 5 stars." "Ok sure lets watch it."

..........1 hour and 31 minutes later..........

"OMG THAT MOVIE WAS SO SAD *sniffle* I CANT BRETHE IM CRYING SO HARD OMG"  Mal cried.

Mal  was crying so hard I thought she was gonna faint. "Mal it's ok, the girl didn't die  and Avery is gonna fix her ways it's okay stop crying."

"I CANT" Mal cried some more

I hugged her and she cried into my shirt.
I rubbed her back to try to get her to stop crying...that failed.

That movie was sad though. I don't blame Mal for crying just not THIS HARD.
Like her face is now red and I'm still trying to get her to calm down.

The crying stops and I realize she cried herself to sleep.

I guess I'll just watch Bobs Burgers or something while Mal is sleeping beautifully on my chest with her adorable tear stained face.

I chuckle at how much that movie touched Mal.

I didn't know she was that sensitive.

I give her a kiss and fall asleep, with the TV being the only thing lighting up the room.

A/N A Girl Like Her is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time and it really opens your eyes as to how big of a problem bullying is and when I watched it I was crying as hard as Mal was in this chapter TBH 😂 like the crying emoji 😭 is an understatement to how much I was crying. Like if you seriously have a Netflix account seriously watch this movie because this movie is amazing you wouldn't regret spending 1 hour and 31 minutes watching this movie it is just wow and omg and dang mixed up in a big ball of interesting. Go on Netflix and search for "A Girl Like Her" because it's probably one of the best movies you'll ever see.

Ok I'm done now

Thanks for reading
