Chapter 19

The fight was over before it even started. BEN had swung a fist toward Jeff, who then dodged, grabbed the blond's arm, and yanked him forward to press his knife against BEN's neck. Kendra gasped, scrambling to get up to try and pull Jeff off of her boyfriend.

"Jeff! BEN, oh my god, are you okay Benny Bunny?" Kendra asked, looking at the thin cut Jeff's knife had caused.

BEN pushed her off of him, glaring harshly. Kendra gave him a hurt look, her heart squeezing in panic.

"Don't touch me," he snapped, feeling an immense amount of hurt himself, "is this what you've been doing the last two weeks?! Romping around with him?!"

"BEN, no that's not--"

"Shut it, I don't want to hear your stupid excuses. I can't believe you would cheat on me, Kendra. Especially with Jeff, the bastard who not only killed your parents but kidnapped you to keep you as a fucking toy!"

Kendra flinched, looking at the ground with tears in her eyes. She couldn't believe this was happening, and he wouldn't even listen to what had really been happening. Silence stretched between the two of them, the occasional sniffle from Kendra the only thing breaking it.

"BEN, you need to listen--"

"No, you need to listen. You have been obsessed with one-upping me for years, and I'm sick of it. I get a catch-phrase? Well shit, Jeff comes up with a better one that literally everyone knows about! Now I get an amazing girlfriend and you sleep around with her behind my back, well I'm done with your bullshit Jeff!"

"BEN you idiot, I haven't been sleeping with her!" Jeff shouted, glaring at the blond.

BEN scoffed, crossing his arms, "bullshit. Do you really think I'm going to believe either of you now?"

"Slender can prove it," Kendra said, her voice so soft the two boys had to strain to hear it.

"What?" BEN asked, frowning in confusion.

"Oh yeah, he can still read minds, can't he?"

Kendra nodded, looking up at BEN and Jeff, tears slowly rolling down her face. Seeing her so sad made BEN flinch and Jeff's heart ache.

"Fine, he can go through them and I'll trust him if he says you guys weren't fucking, but know that if he finds out otherwise, I never want you two to talk to me ever again."

They started walking back to the campsite so Jeff could pack up everything and BEN could lead them back to the mansion. The entire time Kendra's heart ached and she remained quiet. Slender would still see the first kiss, he would tell BEN, and she would be short one boyfriend. She wrapped her arms around herself, trying not to cry or sob since she wasn't the quietest when she did.

The silence was unbearable for Jeff. He wanted to comfort Kendra, but he was afraid BEN would take it the wrong way and she would get even more hurt. He couldn't let that happen, he wouldn't forgive himself.

Kendra shivered as the day started to draw to a close, the heat from the summer sun fading until she was left with chattering teeth in the cold. She didn't dare ask the other two for something to help warm her up, she almost hoped she died from pneumonia so she wouldn't have to deal with the heartache and fear she was going through right now.

"We'll stop here for the night," BEN said, stopping abruptly and giving Kendra a worried look before glancing away. Jeff wordlessly started setting up the tent, handing Kendra the blanket so she could warm up while BEN started the fire.

Kendra gratefully wrapped the blanket around herself, sitting on the ground and staring at her lap while she waited. She wanted to cry, but she couldn't bring herself to in front of BEN and Jeff. As soon as she was able to crawl inside the tent; however, she curled up and started to cry herself to sleep while the two men outside kept watch.
