When I got to the castle, everybody looked at me in a wierd way. I tried not to pay attention to them, I was there only for Ben. When I was getting to Ben's room, I asked myself why they had let me entered, maybe they did because they were afraid of me. There were two bodyguards watching over Ben's bedroom. I asked them if I could knock and they simply nodded.
'Mal... I... I wasn't expecting you... at all' he said, looking really surprised.
'I didn't expect it either...,' I said. I looked at the guards so that Ben could realised that I wanted some privacy.
'Come in,' he suggested. 'How are things with Evie?', he asked while he was closing the door.
'We made up', I said with a big smile on my face, 'she forgave me'.
'Of course she did, after all, she is your extraordinary relationship'
'My what?,' I asked.
'Every one of us has an extraordinary relationship with someone that will last forever. It doesn't matter if it is a friendship, family bond, or a romantic relationship', he said, 'and yours, it's with Evie.'
I couldn't help but blush at that comment. It was so true, she was the extraordinary relationship in my life.
'Yeah, she is. I never thought of that, though.' I said. 'So... I came here to, I don't know... to apologise, and to tell you that I really miss you', words just came out of my mouth. 'I need you, Ben.'
'And what took you so long?,' he asked, sounding kind of doubtful.
'Well, Evie. As you said, I needed her back first. Without her I'm nothing,' I admitted.
'That's the Mal who I fell in love with,' he smiled, 'I would never trust someone who puts a person who just met few months ago (me) above the friends she has met many years ago (well, Jay, Carlos and Evie, specially). No matter how much you fell in love with someone, don't and never leave your best friends behind.'
'And that's the Ben who I fell in love with', I said, and I couldn't help giving him a kiss on the lips. He continued it, never pushed back. He put his arms around my waist, then touched gently my hair and grabbed my face.
'I missed you, too, Mal'. He gave me a big and squeeze hug.
I was simply the happiest girl in the whole world. Evie was so right.
Evie POV
'Where's Mal?,' asked Jay.
'Ohh, at this time she must be in Ben's arms,' I said, smiling and in a romantic mode- on.
'What?? I thought that she didn't want to be with him anymore, not because she doesn't love him, but because she never wanted to hurt him again.' Carlos said.
'She will never hurt him again, I think that she learned from this lesson.' I said to them.
'Yeah, maybe you're right. So, you two are back, too, right? What took you so long to forgive her?,' doubted Jay.
'Hey! It didn't took me that long. I was really hurt, okay? You have no idea what it felt like.'
'I know,' a voice said, and I felt someone hugging me from behind and said in my ear, 'thanks for forgiving me, you're my extraordinary relationship, E.' then kissed me on the cheeck. It was Mal, she came out of nowhere. My face turned a little reddish after that comment.
'What are you two waiting to get married?' Carlos asked.
'Yeah, I guess things went wrong with Ben,' laughed Jay.
We both laugh, we were used to comments like that. We knew we looked like a couple, and people really thought that we were secretly in love or something like that, but the truth was that that was just our way to express our bond, which was really strong. We even had that habit of hugging and kissing each other all the time.
'Lol, you will be the braidmaids' Mal joked to Jay and Carlos. 'I talked to him and you were right about it, he forgave me.' The smile she had on her face was lit. 'But he had to attend to a reunion, that's why I got here so fast.'
'Yeahh, I knew it!! Of course I was so right!', I loved being right. I could recognised true love whenever I saw it.
'Ouh man! Well, I still ship you two, guys. Maybe in Mal's next flaw.' Said Jay.
'No, please! No more mistakes from your part, Mal. At least, try not to involve me in it again', I said.
'Never again,' she said.
We hold hands and looked at each other's eyes. There are friendships stronger than any love relationship, and our was one of them.
