Guardian of the Proxy (Ben Drowned story)

Chapter 13

*ELISE'S P.O.V*

On my way to my home, I decided to text Brandon.

Me: Hey, are you busy atm?

He took a while to respond.

Brandon: Yeah. I'm studying.

Me: Oh okay. Text me when you're done if you can.

He never responded back. I decided to surprise him by dropping off by his house and help him study. He's not the best at Math so I think that's what he's doing. I'll help him.

It took me nearly 10 minutes to arrive at his house. I knocked the front door several times, but nobody answered. I decided to open the door by myself. I know, I'm so nosy. Luckily, the front door was open. What if he's studying at a library or something and nobody's home and left the door unlocked? Oh, god. I sneaked in and looked around his living room and kitchen. Nothing. I heard some noise upstairs.

What if it's him and he's studying with headphones on? Oh, I can't wait to surprise him!

I walked upstairs and went directly to his room. I opened the door quietly and slightly, waiting for the perfect moment to scare and surprise him. But, he was doing the opposite of studying, he was doing something else....with another girl. That girl. I knew her. That was Marie. The secretary. My secretary.

Elise, calm down and think this wisely before you do anything you'll regret.

He's cheating on me.

But, what about our promises?

The promises he broke.

I backed away, tears running down my cheek as I ran away. Away from that scene.

What should I do now?

I thought about this on my way to my house. Of course, I will confront him on tomorrow back on school. And I will
not show him I cried for him. On the contrary, I'll show him I don't need him in my life. I texted Gretchen but she never replied back. She must've been really busy or something.

....

Riley was enthusiastically talking about her cheerleading reunion she had a couple days ago. Taylor was about
to fall asleep. I haven't told anything to both of them, yet. "Hey, Elise, what happened to Red?" asked Riley, completely changing the subject from cheerleading to this. Taylor seemed to be a bit interested in her question now. Oh, no. What should I tell them? I can't tell them I'm the Guardian of the proxy! Slender will have me killed!

"U-uh, when I woke up the next morning, she was gone," I began, "and I searched for her everywhere. There's no sign of her."

Riley let out a gasp. "Oh my God! That's horrible!"

"I wonder what happened to her," said Taylor, in a suspicious tone.

That's when I saw him. Brandon. He was walking towards me. I managed to fake a smile. "Hey, guys, I'll be right back," I said, standing up from the bench and walking forth Brandon. "Elise, darling, it's been so long," he said, giving me a kiss on the lips. "Yeah. How was studying yesterday?" I asked him.

"Oh, it was great. I basically learned everything about History," he chuckled.

"Wait, wasn't it Math?"

"Uhhh, yeah. Both." he remarked.

"So you didn't get any help?" I questioned him. He glanced at me, he looked slightly nervous but hid it. "No. All by myself. Why?"

"Oh, no reason. I just thought maybe Marie was helping you. Wow, that's amazing, Brandon, getting help from Marie? Brilliant. She must have nailed those calculations, am I right? Oh, wait, no. What about George Washington? Did she help you with that, too? She must be such a genius, correct?"

He froze instantly. "What?"

"Come on. You really think I'm a fool? You slept with her! Don't ever talk to me again," I said before walking away from him. I sat back to the bench where Taylor and Riley were sitting. "Are you okay, Elise?" asked Riley. I explained everything to them.

"You want me to break his baby maker or his arms? Which would be more painful? I personally think it would be his baby maker," inquired Taylor.

"No, no. Don't hurt him. It was my fault for trusting him," I stated, taking out a bag of Lays and opening them.

"But he cheated on you! With an ugly shit face! He's such a fuck boy! Do you want me to post it on my blog?" asked Riley.

"With what proof?" I started eating the potato chips.

"Don't worry. I'll tell my cheerleading squad and they'll take care of it. Karin has dealt with this type of stuff before, and even worse if you tell me," murmured Riley.

"Thank you," I said before gulping.

*GRETCHEN'S P.O.V*

As I got out of the bathroom, I heard a strange noise coming from the kitchen.

"Ah! Bitch lasagna!" I heard a voice similar to Ben's. I ran to the kitchen and saw Ben covered in ketchup, on the floor.

"What the fuck," I muttered under my breath.

"I fell," Ben pouted. "You must be stupid," I said.

"I visited Sky today," said Ben, standing up from the floor and picking up some tissues. "Really?"

Ben nodded his head, cleaning the ketchup off him. "Of course she was completely out with the anesthesia but I mean at least her fucked up bruises are curing."

I let out a sigh. "Ben, what if her memory never comes back? And she'll stay like this forever?"

"That's why Masky and Hoodie are working on that." stated Ben.

I walked away from the kitchen. "I'm gonna go visit Elise!"

I knocked on the front door of Elise's house. It took a long while before someone opened the door for me. It was Elise. "Hey, what's up?"

"Nothing." she replied coldly.

"Um....how are you?"

"I'm okay."

It turned really awkward. "Uh, are you sure you're okay?"

"Why wouldn't I be? I feel splendid!" she said sarcastically. "Just, come in,"

I got in her house. She led me to her living room and we both sat on the couch. "How's Skyleigh?" she questioned.

"Same as before," I started, "what's up with you?"

Elise sighed through her nose. "My
boyfriend cheated on me,"

"You had a boyfriend? Holy shit,"

"Yeah. I found him in his house cheating on me with another girl at school," she explained. I hissed, "that's fucked up."

A few hours later, Elise received a call from her friend's mother. It wasn't pretty.
