BEN drowned x reader (Threads) [Complete]

CH.3 "cause we've been living"

It had been the next day, and it was your day off from work thankfully. Last night, you fell asleep at your computers desk. You stayed up all night reading threads and forums about BEN, and you passed out right after you realized that you truly were being haunted. Before you had, Cleverbot had opened up with "You shouldn't have done that." and you tried to click exit but you couldn't. You didn't write back. You were scared. But, when you passed out you had a dream- a nightmare. A nightmare about the elegy of emptiness following you, with that creepy smile. You heard whispers, "the counter resets" "you shouldn't have done that" "you've met with a terrible fate haven't you?" and other various things. Thinking about the nightmare sent shivers down your spine. You just leaned back into your office chair, letting out an exasperated sigh. What had you gotten yourself into? Or rather why did Jordan send you this mess?

- ayyy whatup Carlos POV

I walked up the stairs to y/n's door and just let myself in, she never locks the door which is really stupid because assholes like me can break in. y/n heard the door creak open which made her fling a vase at me, obviously frightened. I just shot a glare at her and closed the door behind me. "That could of hit my flawless face." I gasped fakely. "I wish it did" she just laughed, making me smile and walk over to hug her. She hugged back. We both pulled away. "Soooo, what have you been doing?" I sat down on her couch, taking a glance at her floor and noticing her n64 with a sketchy cartridge inside. "Oh, nothing just- browsing the web and doing work. The usual." she laughed nervously. y/n wasn't doing anything suspicious was she? "I see you've been playing your n64 as of recently. How far are you in whatever game you're playing?" she frowned. "I'm playing Majoras Mask, and oh I guess Im doing alright in it- I-" she paused. "How're you?" she smiled fakely, I could tell. She's acting stranger than usual. "I'm okay, and y/n, you're acting up, please tell me what's going on." she tensed. "Carlos, I know you know a lot about games and whatnot- but do you know anything about haunted cartridges?" Oh. Goddamn it. "Yeah, why?" she fumbled with her hands. "I'm being haunted by a ghost, BEN drowned" well, at least she knows about him and he can't do much because she knows he's there. "I know about that, I'd say sell the cartridge or bury it somewhere. I don't know" I lied, I knew BEN personally I guess. But I don't want y/n knowing I'm not normal, I'm just- not. I knew BEN was cursing at me right now I could feel it. I just laughed making her confused. "I'm gonna go to the pawn shop and sell it." she just mumbled. "Wanna come?" she asked. "No. I wanna stay here and play a game or something." I smiled reassuringly at her. She grabbed her keys and wallet and left with a small "goodbye for now" I waved and watched as she left. When the door closed and knew she was gone I put my hands in her TV grasping for BEN and pulling him out. As he hit the floor he shrieked in pain, "was that necessary?" he asked weakly."Yes, yes it was." I crossed my arms as he got up from the floor. "I'm haunting her whether you like it or not." he smiled. "She's my friend and no you're not" BEN laughed. "She's pretty and she's not afraid. She's avoiding me, she knows I'm here. I want to be known and she can't get rid of me." he just smiled at me. I sighed. "Are you going to hurt her?" I squinted at him as he shook his head. "I swear I won't. She's great even though she freaks out sometimes but we can get around that." he said that last part smugly, he really gonna try and get her to like him. That's kind of sad. I shook my head, smiling. "Good luck, she's not easy." I sat down again on he couch, turning on her TV and plugging in her Xbox360 so I can play borderlands. BEN just shrugged and got another controller so he can play multiplayer with me. We played for another hour or so, before I had to shove BEN back in the TV and turn his controller off.

​​​​​​- your POV bc ahhhh

They didn't take the cartridge and right now I was unlocking my door because Carlos locked it. When I walked in he was just on the couch playing Borderlands as Mordecai. I grabbed the other controller and signed in on my profile before playing as Lilith. Carlos just glanced at me. "They wouldn't take the cartridge. I'm haunted I guess." I shrugged giving up and accepting my fate easily. He squinted at me and shook his head. He does that a lot I swear.
