We arrive at my house and sit on the couch.
"So can we talk about it now?"
"Okay, so... I practically started about 2 years ago because I couldn't take anymore of Samantha's bullshit and my dad coming home everyday shit faces and then beating me if I wouldn't do something he tells me to do. And I heard how it takes everything away. So I tried it and it's addicting... It's like my own drug..."
You feel tears do down your checks and whip them away.
Ben pulls you in for a hug.
"It's okay love, I'm not mad or anything. I just wouldn't have expected this."
"You not mad?..."
"Why should I be? Even if the situation isn't as bad or as good it's all about how you feel. And I want to make things better."
You pull away from the hug and look up to Ben.
"Thanks Ben. I've never really had a friend."
"Well I'm here now love."
You get up pulling Ben up with you by his hand.
"Let's go to the kitchen I'm starving!"
You hear Ben chuckle a bit and you turn your head to see his cheeky smile. You smirk at him and continue to look for something to eat. You take out some noodles and some sauce since it's the quickest thing to cook.
"So where is you dad now?"
"Erm I donno. Probs getting waisted."
"So his never home? What about you mom?"
"She's working. Mainly the only reason I have somewhere to get to after school."
"So she puts up with all of this and maintains everyone?"
"Pretty much. I try to help but my dad just thinks I'm a waist of space and tells me to go to my room."
"Well you not. His such a prick."
"Tell me about it."
You feel Bens amrs wrap around you as you where cooking the pasta.
You turn around and look up at Ben. You seem to get lost in his eyes and everything felt so right.
But then you hear the door slam open. Shit. Your dads home. He sees you too and starts yelling at you.
"WHO THE FUCK IS THIS?! IS THIS THE NEW GUY YOUVE BEEN SCREWING AROUND WITH? YOU LITTLE WHORE!"
You jump out of Bens arms and put distance between you two.
"N-n-no."
"LIES!"
"I-I'm sorry it won't happen aga-"
You fell a sharp pain on your cheek. You held it as you started to cry and just sat on the floor. You feel someone pick you up and put you to your feet. It was Ben. He then walked over to your father.
"How could you ever hit a girl?! How dare you even call your self a fucking father."
"EXCUSE YOU? AND WHO ARE YOU TO SAY ANYTHING."
"Apparently I'm the only person that's been there for your daughter while you go get shit faced everyday."
"Ben stop."
You pled.
"No. You don't deserve this."
Ben starts to walk over to you and gives you a big hug. You stand there hard as rock. Scared to do anything at the fright of your father doing anything. Ben pulls away and he sees the fear in you eyes. He grabs you hand and leads you out the door. Your heart pounding and with your hands shaking of your dad doing anything. You feel someone pull you from bens grasp.
"AND WHERE DO YOU THINK YOUR GOING?!"
"LET HER GO NOW!"
Ben shouts.
"IM HER FATHER. NOW GET OUT OF HERE SHES MINE."
Ben can't hold his anger anymore and punches him on the face. His grasp weakens and you where set free. Ben grabs your hand and you two walk out to find your mom at the door steps.
"Mom.."
