(Link's POV)

I walked out on the back porch and stared off into the woods. Leaning my head on the railing, I sighed loudly. I took a deep breath and looked up again. Damn, it hurts so much to be without him. We grew so close in that year we were together.... he knew everything about me, i knew everything about him. I still dont know why im attracted to him.. He kills in cold blood and with no remorse too... Im nothing like that, why am i attracted to that... i banged my head on the railing and groaned. This sucks. I miss him. How many times is he gonna do this? I pushed myself off the railing and walked out into the yard. I leaned aganst the oak tree and a soft breeze blew over me. A butterfly flew past me and landed in the branch just above me and two the left. I looked up at it. Its tiny wings swaying slightly in the breeze. It flew away as another male's voice rang out over the slient yard "i came to say goodbye." It was Ben, i couldnt bring myself to face him. "if you dont want a goodbye then ill just leave" i slowly turned to look at him. He flipped his hair a bit and looked up at me. he looked... different.. but how? he looked right into my eyes and i got captivated by those cool, blue orbs. he hugged me. "im so sorry..." he whispered. "why do you do this ben..." i swallowed back my tears. "im sorry..." "why cant you tell me?" "i just cant... look... i shoudl get going..." "No!" i exclaimed grabbing his wrist. He stopped and i pulled him to me. I pressed my lps against his. He hesistated at first but kissed me back. "Fuck!" he yelled, pulling away. "i.. i gotta go" he ran off. i sighed. "bye ben..." A knot formed in my throat and i tried to swallow it but it only made it worse. No! i cant cry over him! I thought as i wiped my eyes to stop the now forming tears. I went inside and up to the bathroom. I looked in the mirror. it was getting really hard to hold back my tears. Was it even healthy to keep your tears back? I took a deep breath and tried to calm down. A thought came to my head about cutting but it left just as quickly as it came. i took some more deep breaths and rolled up my sleeves. i looked at the scars on my wrists that are now pale white and sitting on my wrists like little hills. I traced my fingers across them. They were all Ben's fault... all of them... im suprised they didnt go away after i respawned. A single tear rolled down my cheek. "shit" i mumbled, sniffling. I wiped the tear away and more fell. "no!" I tried to stop them. "Fuck!" i screamed before running to my room. I slammed the door shut and locked it. "no! stop!" i sniffled and tried so hard to stop the now falling tears. It was worthless, the more i tried, the more they fell. i gave up and let them fall. I sat on the edge of my bed and held my head in my hands. I ripped off my had and threw it across the room. running my hands through my hair, i clenched my fists and sobbed. I had my head down and my elbows on my knees. I was still holding my hair. I moved to the floor and hugged my knees to my chest. I cant believe im crying over him. I shouldnt be crying over him. No. I really shouldnt. I got up off the floor, snifffled and then walked back to the bathroom. A few tears still rolled down my face as i looked in the mirror again. I looked like a wreck. my hair was messy and my eyes were red and puffy. the blue in my irises now a dull grey. my cheeks were flustered. Its obvious i was crying. I ran some cold water and splashed it on my face. It felt good against my hot face. I turned off the water and dried off my face. I was still a mess. I combed through my hair a bit and went back to my room. I picked up my hat and put it back on. I glanced over at my phone wich was now lit up and vibrating. I walked over to it and picked it up. it was ben. of course... Just when im trying to forget him he finds a way back into my damn life! i raised the phone to throw it in a fit of frustration but then lowered my arm and decided against it. Im not gonna do that again... hehe... i, instead, set the phone back on the nightstand and left my room. walking downstairs, I noticed Zelda sitting on the couch. her and Navi were talking about me. "and get this, he asked if i wanted to see his master sword!" she whispered to navi. They giggled. "hehe.. okay enough story telling" i said, my ears back, blushing slightly. hehe... i remeber saying that.. I swear i was refering to the actual sword, i just... didnt exact;y make that quite clear... yeah... Zelda jumped out of her skin. "holy shit link, a warning would be nice" she said holding a hand to her chest. i let out a breathy laugh "sorry" I said, before walking over to join them. "oh, that offer is still availible if you want Z" i winked. "LINK! You Slut!" She exclaimed, blushing a bit. "i was refering to he actual sword you know, not my.." "i know! please dont say it" she said, cutting me off. I laughed. "hey, wanna go to town with me?" "sure" "we can head over to my house after if you want, my parents havent seen you in forever and they wont shut up about it." "haha, sounds good, come on navi" we got up and i got my sword, hey, i have to take it with me. We left and talked about the weather as we walked into town. people were bustling about the marketplace. We stopped by the mask shop to say hello to M.S. we walked in and the little bell rang. Its always so interesting in here. All the assorted masks and such on the walls. Two pairs of eyes looked up at us. Anger glazed over them. ben happened to be one of those people. He gripped his phone tightly in his hands and walked to the backrrom of the store. "how can i help you?" M.S. asked in a fake nice voice walking up to us due to there beign other people here. Some girls whispered about me and fangirled. I shurgged them off. "just looking" i replied in a happy cocky voice. M.S. rolled his eyes and walked back to the desk. he watched us the whole time. M.S. stared at us the whole time. "maybe we should go" Zelda whispered, her eyes darting over to M.S. "ok" we left the shop and some girls followed us out. "L-link?" one of them asked. I turned around. "yes?" i asked, politly. they squealed a bit. i smiled brighter. "c-can i touch your hair?" ok? weirdest request ever? "sure?" she smiled and pet my hair. She then pulled her hand away and turned to her friend. "omg its so soft!" she whispered. a small chuckle escaping my lips. "careful, he might try to show you his master sword" Zelda warned he girls. My face went red and my ears went back. The girls about died. Zelda smirked and navi flew over and sat on my shoulder. the girls giggled more "we have to go. see you around sometime maybe?" "y-yeah" i said still blushing. They left squealing. "what was that for?" i mumbled. Zelda giggled. "im gonna kill you..." i glared at her. "oh come on you little slut, lets go" i chuckled at her new nickname for me. "once again, i was refering to the sword" "suuuure" she teased, poking me in the side. "eeep!" i jumped. "dont do that!" she laughed. It was absolutly impossible to hate zelda. She was too sweet and caring, if she suspected she hurt you, shell apologize a million times till shes 100% sure you forgive her. She was actually a petty good girlfriend, we only kissed once though and it really wasnt anything special, we were like friends with benifits... well... kinda. like i said, we kissed once. We walked to her house and stopped fooling around. We entered the house and the smell of roses and spring filled the air. Her house always smells like whatever season it is. Mine always smells like cinnamon... i dont know why though, i think navi secretly found a way to light things, or.. zelda comes by and burns some insence or something. We got inside and her parents entered the room "LINK!" her mother exclaimed, pulling me into a hug. "we've missed you!" she plled away. "its been almost 2 years!" "yeah.. my life's been pretty crappy... i.. dont wanna talk about it though" The knot in my throat was back. My ears went back. "oh, im sorry to hear that" "hey mom, we're gonna g up to my room" She glared at Zelda. "you know the rules." "yes mother i know. We;re friends, friends don do that" she said, taking me up the marble steps to her room. We entered and she closed the door. I sat on the edge of her bed. she sat next to me. "everything alright?" i nodded. "no link, something's up" she said, pulling me close. "im fine" i muttered, barly audible. "link, you look like your about to cry" "im not" i said in that same tone. "yes you are link, its not good to hold back your tears." she pulled me in for a hug. "let it out link, im here for you, its ok" the tears began to fall. I cried for the second time today. Over ben, over my heartbreak, over the scars, over everything. She stayed with me the whole time. her arms holding me in a tight embrace. My body shook with silent sobs. "im so sorry Zelda.. i wish none of this happened... I wish he didnt ever come ino my life!" i siad, pulling away from her and sniffling. she tilted my had up and wiped under my eyes. "its alright link, its gonna take some time, but you'll get over this." she dropped her hands. "i promise" she said, taking my hands in hers. "its probably a bad time to mention this but... link.. i love you... i never stopped" I looked up at her with knowing eyes. "i know you are going through alot right now, i know you said you were bisexual but i dont want to make things worse..." She cried her own tears now, just a few, they rolled down her cheeks. I wiped them away with the back of my gloves. "z..." "i know you wont take me bacl probably ever but... i wanted you to knwo that, i dont want to get back together cause then that will start a whole new form of drama between you and ben and then things would get bad and i dont want the same thing to happen again as last time and link it tears me apart inside. this love for you! i know what you go through daily link! i've felt your pain!" So i caused her pain? oh thats just great... "i caused your pain.." "no link! i didnt mean it like that!" "i dont car how you meant it, im still the cause of your pain!" I got up and left her room. she followed behind me. "link please dont leave" she begged, following me down the steps. She got to the bottom and grabbed my wrist. "link... please dont leave..." I groaned and turned around to face her. she dropped my wrist and i cuped her face in my hands. I pressed my lips agains hers. "l-link..." she said, sadly as i pulled away. "im sorry, i cant do this anymore zelda... i need to be alone for a while... away from you.. i dont want to hurt you anymore but i cant do this..." I let my hands fall and i watched as sadness took over her face. i turned away and left her house. i grazed my fingers over my lips. I walked back to my house, the sky was dark and people were closing up shop for the night. Skull kid glared at me as i walked past him. "coward" he spat. I kept walking. i felt like evreyone was staring at me. I saw those girls from earlier walking home. they saw me but kept walking. I walked up the rock path  and back to my house. I got inside and fell against the front door. I quickly pushed myself off of it a second later and ran upstai after realizing navi is going to come home. i needed to be alone. i texted zelda quickly telling her to watch navi for me and she replied with an "ok...." i turned off my phone and walked downstairs. I laid on the couch and looked up at the celing. i took a deep breath. i had no more tears to cry. i had been crying so much ive run dry. I missed ben, i do admit that, i really really do... i dont understand why he does this. And Zelda likes me still... i wouldnt have guessed. i am so clueless sometimes. gah! this drama is worse than last time! Why did everything sudenly just fall apart?!

(Ben's POV)

Link came into the shop today. I took one look at him, then left. I cant stand him right now. i feel so bad for breaking him but... i cant do it. I did this for his safty. Felix said hes personally kill him right in front of me if i didnt stop hanging out with him. I cant let him do that. I listened to him. I am such an idiot. Before he came to the shop, i sent him a text, he ignored it, i could tell, the message still says 'delivered' it would say 'read' if he read it. it said 'hey link, i miss you and im sorry for all of this' but he isnt gonna read it. and if he reads it, he wont believe me. why do i bother. let my hands fall in my lap and let out a sigh. fleix was sitting across from me, the most unamused look on his face. "what?" "why are you so obsessed with your damn phone suddenly?" "beacause i am, thats none of your consern so why dont you just drop it?" he rolled is eyes at me. "you will love me someday ben, even if it means i actually have to kill that stupid fuck" "hes not a 'stupid fuck' and you dont even know him so why the hell do you care? you hardly know me for god's sake!" "i know you enough to know that i love you more than anything ben" he got up and walked over to me. Siting next to me, he cupped my face in one of his hands and kissed me. I kissed back. deciding to play along for real with this plan, i would use it to bring him down. hes not getting the last laugh. he pulled away and smiled at me. "i love you ben" "i-i love you too felix" i turned off my phone and set it on the coffee table. I kissed felix again and he ended up dominating me. he pushed me over on the couch as our tongues twisted together. if i have to have sex with him i will. for link. Someone knocked on the door but we ignored it and continued kissing. "im coming in" they said. it was Kid. He entered the room. "oh god jesus, thank god you two are wearing clothes!" he exclaimed. We stopped and looked at im. "what?" we both said at the same time. Felix and I then looked at each other and chuckled. "um.. okay? anywho, M.S. want to talk to ben." I sighed and felix got off me. "see you in a bit love.." he whispered. I pecked him quickly and followed Kid out of the breakroom. I wiped my mouth as we got to the main part of the store. it was dark out. Kid left to go home and i sat up on the desk. "whats up?" "Link kissed Zelda" he said as he polish one of the masks. "he did what?" "D.L. told me. you know he follows link around" "well duh, hes kinda links evil shadow." "yeah and he works for me, he saw link kiss zeldaat her house." "its the truth" i turned around quickly. I have never once met links shadow before. EVER. he was exactly like link only his skin was coal colored and matched his clothes. His eyes were a bright pericing red. He was leaning against the door. "you must be Ben" "yeah" "call me D.L." he said walking up to us. "link's asleep so my job is done for the day. God i hate following that freek around, you know how many times ive tried to kill him then he moved into a darker place? its annoying!" "you try to kill him?" I found myself saying. "well duh! but everything i do he mirrors. everything he does, i mirror, its not a choice really so regardless of who kills who, we're both gonna die in the process" "wow.." "yeah, but thats besides the point, the were basically swallowing each others tongues at her house." "You're lying, Link isnt like that" "oh but im not lying ben, i saw it with my own. two. eyes." he whispered as he looked straight ingot mine. okay, D.L. scares me. My ears went back. "okay, D.L. you're scaring him" he smirked and walked away from me. "but i wouldnt jump to conclusions ben, from the way he left it looked like he never wanted to see her again." "Link's not a heartbreaker" "oh but he is ben. you gotta accept facts and move on. why do you like him anyway?" "i.. i dont know..." "right, anyone have any cherries? im craving cherries.." him and MS chatted a while longer and without warning, i left the shop. my phone was still in the back room but it was password locked so it was safe. I went home and i passed links house. all the lights were out. D.L. is lying, Link wouldnt do that to Zelda.  walked home and laid in my bed with all the lights off. anyone who came home would think i was sleeping. Fleix came in the room and i closed my eyes. "boo?" i didnt respond. he crawled in beside me. "hey" he kissed my forehead and snuggled next to me. "i love you..." i whispered. "i love you too benny"

-------------------------------------------------------------------

If you dont know D.L. is Dark Link. I apologize if i got his name wrong and such.

also, poor ben, seriously, i dont remeber the user who said it, but when felix was first introed in my last book someone old him to jump off a bridge. I totally agree.. he needs to go jump off a bridge. actully, scratch that, he needs to be pushed out of a plane with no parachute and land on concrete. Yeah. Thats better.
