(Ben's POV)

'wow, she must have been more tired than I thought,' I thought, staring at (y/n). I chuckled to myself and laid a blanket on top of her. She immediately snuggled up to the fluffy blanket I had put on her, and I smiled to myself at her cuteness. 

I walked over to my bathroom to get a quick shower and grabbed some clothes on the way. I hate water, but I still need to get clean so I've learned to tolerate showers. I turned the water on and watched the water run into the tub and down the drain for a second. Memories of when I was drowned flashed by, and I could almost can almost feel the searing pain of water in my lungs from the memories. I shook my head to get rid of the images, and everything went back to normal.

I took off my clothes, and I, cautiously, stepped into the shower. The water rushed over me-bringing more memories with it.  I, once again, could fell the familiar, searing pain in my lungs again, and I shook my head to refocus myself and turned my attention to getting clean. 

I washed up my hair and body, and then turned off the water. I, hastily, got out of the shower and dried off with my towel. I may have gotten better at tolerating water enough to get a shower, but I still hate them. 

I got dressed into a simple t-shirt and shorts, and I walked back out into my room. I sat down on my bed and looked over at (y/n). 'shes really cute when she sleeps . . .wait, what am i thinking!? . . . Do I . . .like her!?' i thought.
