A Million Thoughts...

Chapter 5

                                                                                          Mal's POV

Everyday I could feel myself distancing myself from my friends, and I did not like it. Evie and I weren't as close, I hardly ever talked to Carlos, and Jay was too busy. I couldn't talk to Ben about my struggles with being good because he wouldn't understand. The person I really wanted to talk to was Harry, but he was so far away and clearly didn't want me around.

I am constantly struggling between my love for Ben and my love for Harry. They're both so different, and yet theres something about both of them that is similar. Ben was charming, endearing and adorable, while Harry is exciting, edgy, and rebellious. They both loved me a lot and listened to me and care only for the real, not a fake me trying to act all tough or pretending to be pleasent. I felt confortable and warm when I'm with Ben and dangerous and daring when I'm with Harry. My heads telling me to choose Ben, but my heart is saying Harry. I wish there was a better way to decide which one was my true love.

One morning Ben and I were walking to breakfast together. We both were holding hands and laughing at something when out of nowhere my head started throbbing. I stopped in my tracks and put my hands on either side of my head trying to block out an extremely loud noise. I could see Ben next to me with a look of horror on his face as he rushed me over to bench to sit down.

'Mal!" Ben screamed, "What's wrong! Please tell me"

I could feel tear streaming down my face as the noise was getting louder and louder. I couldn't tell if I was screaming in my head or for real. Suddenly all my friends and Fairy Godmother rushed towards me, Jay was calling someone and Evie was crying to Carlos. Ben was still trying to get my attention, but I couldn't hear anything. Fairy Godmother was trying to do a spell to stop the noises. All I could hear over and over again was a screeching sound and my Mother's voice saying 

"Come home Mal"

I could see a green reflection on Ben's face and I knew it must have been my eyes. Just as the noise began, it stopped. As soon as my normal hearing came back, I was being rushed to an ambulance on my way to the hospital. Ben and Fairy Godmother were in the ambulance with me, he would not let go of my hand and Fairy Godmother was explaing what happened to paramedics. Ben look disruppted and in the face on this horror, it was nice to see my perfect boyfriend looking a mess.

When we arrived at the hospital, I finally stopped crying. Once I reached a hospital room I could feel myself relax a little. Ben stayed by my side the whole time trying to comfort me.

"Mal, honey, are you okay?" Ben asked with a sad look on his face "What happened."

I took a deep breath and swallowed hard

"I don't know what happened to me, but all I could hear was my Mother's voice saying 'come home Mal"

"How can that be you're Mother's locked away and shrunk to the size of her heart?"

"I have no clue, but Ben I'm so scarred"

I started crying again and Ben wrapped me in his rocking gently rocking me and trying to calm me down. When the Doctor came in to run some tests on me I was nervous. But not as nervous as when he came back. When he returned he said that I was poisenned and spelled by dark magic. I immediately knew it must have had something to do with my mother and probably Uma.
