"We can't be together it's to risky, you know that. If they find out, they will send me back to that hell they call an island. I can't go back, Ben." Ben found it hard to tell if Mal was crying or if it the rain falling.

"Hey, Mal, look at me." He brought her head up and looked in her beautiful emerald eyes. "We'll be fine. No one will find out about us." He had tried to explain.

He knew there was no way that he could actually know if people knew or not but he needed to try to get her to stay.

"How can you be so sure?" Mal asked holding her arms tighter trying to make herself warm. Ben noticed this action so he took of his jacket, putting it around her.

"I'm not sure. One thing that I am sure of is that nothing can ruin what we have. Don't let them, Mal." Ben gripped Mal's hands putting them on his chest, over his heart, looking into her emerald green eyes once again.

"Ben, what we have is forbidden!" Mal said putting her head on his chest wrapping her arms around his waist. Ben wrapped wrapped his arms around her, holding onto her tightly, not wanting to let go. She didn't want him too.

"It was forbidden before so why do you care now?" Ben asks softly, looking down at the girl in his arms.

"Because- because before I was on the isle! It was easier to hide!" She shouted, pulling herself away from him.

"Just because it's harder doesn't mean we should let them be able keep us apart. Do you want that? Because I don't." Ben told her. "If you want to let them keep us apart just tell me and we'll end things." He explained breaking the hug.

"Ben, I don't want to but," Mal paused taking a deep breath "I can't do this. I need to respect your parent's wishes. I'm sorry, Ben." Mal tried to walk away but he grabbed her wrist, stopping her.

"We've already been through so much, Mal. They- they don't control us. I told you before you came here, Mal, they can't stop us."

"I need to go, Evie is probably worrying about me. I love you." Mal pulled her wrist back, ignoring what Ben had said and walked back to her dorm.

Ben stood there watching her walk away, wishing he just chased after her.

Let's start over from the beginning so you understand what lead to this.
