The Never Ending Game// Benny Rodriguez

FUTURE FORSHADOW

( So this is just a part from the fanfic in the future I will build up to this part and will continue afterwards. )
I got out of bed and climed out the window of my room, my house was only one story so it wasnt difficult. I sat on the curb next to the brick mailbox and leaned against it, crying. Wishing my parents would try to fix themselves, or seperate if it meant no more fighting.  Tonight was a total bust. I heared footsteps coming towards me but my eyes were to watery to make out who it was. "Hey man, what's wrong?" I recognized the voice. It was the nextdoor neighbors son. Benny? I tried to remember. He was wating for an answer when I heard a crash from inside the house and my dads voice "you bitch, look what you did!" followed by my moms, "It was your fault, its always your fault." That caused me to cry even harder and I sobbed into my knees. "Hey, um, lets get you to my place, no ones home." I remembered that I had seen the Rodriguez's leave about a week ago, yet Benny was still at school. "Okay" I managed to get out between sniffles. We walked to his house. Once inside he ran up the stairs and signaled for me to follow. His room was full of baseball posters and photographs. It made me giggle to myself. "Umm sorry, its kinda messy." "Its fine" I said back, walking towards his bed and sitting down. He was looking through his closet and drawers. He finnally found what he was looking for and walked up to me. "Here, its mine, but you look like you need it." It was one of his flannels.I looked at myself. I hadnt realized I was wearing just a tanktop and bluejean shorts. "Oh thanks, is there somewhere I can change?" "Yeah down the hall and to the left." His flannel was really big on me so I decided to button it up and wear it as a nightgown. When I got done changing I walked into his room with out knocking. He turned towards me fast, he was shirtless. Oh god hes so cute I thought to myself. "Im so sorry I-" "Its fine im almost done" I could see that he was staring at me in his shirt, well more at my legs.  "I can uh, go put my shorts on if you want?" "No its okay" he chuckled. I blushed, did he think I was cute? I thought to myself. He had put on an undershirt by then. I sat on his bed with him. "Thanks for this Benny, I just dont like to be in the house with them" "Im sorry that you have to deal with that." "Yeah, hey how did you know I was outside?" I asked playing with the bottom of his shirt. "I was coming home early from the ditch and I heard you, and I thought I might see what was wrong."  He layed down, I yawned and did the same. We were facing eachother on seprate sides of the bed. "You can sleep here tonight, I'll sleep on the couch." He said propping up on his elbows. "I'll spend the night, my parents could care less. But can you sleep with me, Im just uneasy." "If thats what you want." He said and layed back down. I looked into his hazel eyes and moved closer to him. "Benny, I think I like you." "I like you too, Sage." That was the last thing I heard him say that night. I fell asleep in his bed, in his room, in his house.
