Descendants BenXMal One Shots

I Can't Take It Anymore

Odd Raindrops rhythmically dropped down her window pane from the early morning's shower, Mal was sat on the end of her bed with tear-drenched cheeks. Her spellbook was in one hand and a small black duffle bag in the other. Mal's feet were dug so far into the floor that she looked stuck in her one position. She was fed up, Audrey and Chad had pushed Mal over the top, all the insults and all the abuse was getting to her. She knew Ben and the others told her to ignore it all but there is only so much that she can take. She checked her watch and it read 8:52 am, School started at nine and she knew Ben would be waiting for her by the lockers at 8:55 am so Mal ran to her locker with her duffel bag. She took a more private route so fewer people would see her and she wouldn't crash as easily. Her locker was in her eyesight and she sprinted as fast as she could, one more minute and Ben would be there. in less than a second she arrived at her blue locker that just had a new paint coat over it, she forcefully shoved her duffel bag into the locker and took out the books she needed for the first and second period. She only had to turn her head 45 degrees to see Ben walking up to her from his locker. "Hey Mal," he said as he played one of his cheeky boy grins, "Hey Bennyboo!" Mal replied as she shared a kiss and embrace with Ben. They joined hands as Ben walked Mal to the first period, Art. As they came to Mal's art class Ben wished her a good lesson and caressed her cheek before he walked off.

As Mal entered the classroom, she was greeted with a strong smell of raspberry plump princess perfume, obviously, a new scent from Audrey's fashion line. Mal grunted as she moved herself to the back of art class, she took out her final art piece and untangled her earphones to listen to music. Things were going well for the first 20 minutes of the lesson, Mal was so close to finishing her final piece for her art grade but her lesson was disturbed when Audrey walked up to Mal and sat in the seat opposite her "Mal listen, Ben doesn't love you" Mal was confused as why Audrey was sitting with her until Audrey pulled out her earphones and repeated her words "Ben doesn't love you, he's only going out with you because he hates the fact that you feel alone. He knows that you don't want pity but that's all your relationship is and besides why would he want some bitch who is clearly obese and suffers from anxiety as a Queen? Think about it Mal" Audrey stood up and slammed the chair back into place before walking off looking really proud of herself. Mal clenched her fists in anger as she tried to prevent rogue tears from falling. The lesson finally finished which pleased Mal, the art lesson seemed to drag on after Audrey's little declaration. Mal handed in her Artbook and walked to her science lesson, she used to enjoy science because she had Carlos in her class but ever since the coronation Chad had come down hard on Mal which caused her newly found hate for science.

Mal entered the classroom giving a brief smile to her science teacher and then turned her attention to Carlos who waved her down to sit at the back of the class. While Mal was trudging to her seat, Chad was staring her down which made Mal feel worse about herself and she allowed Audrey's words to affect her more. "Hey, Mal what's wrong?" Carlos inquired, however, Mal gave him a look saying ~I'll explain it later when I don't feel like shit~ Carlos nodded his head in response and began to answer question three on the worksheet. Mal did the same and looked down to read the question ~ what does Acceleration divided by Change in speed Equal? ~ Mal's eyes widened as she read the question, Carlos was clearly stuck on his answer too, but after some delicate thinking, Mal decided the answer was ~Time~. The rest of the lesson went smoothly until Chad was sent a text which caused him to smirk and look over to Mal, of course, Mal knew at this point that she wasn't safe from the harassment today.

The teacher told the class to work in groups of two or threes, Mal and Carlos already knew that they were going to be a pair instead of a three so they began to answer question C. They were hard at work when Chad took a seat right next to Mal and declared himself as part of their group. Carlos clearly wasn't happy but didn't say anything in case the teacher sent him out of lessons, Mal thought the same so she bowed her head in silence and grabbed her pencil to draw a graph. Instead, Chad grabbed the pencil out of her hands and threw it behind Carlos which caused Carlos to glare at Chad. Chad released a chuckle and turned to Mal and told her to wait for Free Period and he walked off to join another pair. Carlos knew Mal was in trouble and he was going to force Mal to tell him everything. The lesson rang and Mal ran out of the classroom to meet the others on her Free Period before Carlos could ask what she wanted to do.

Mal arrived at the table first but was then followed by Carlos, Jay and Lonnie and Jane, Evie and Doug and finally Ben. Everyone sat next to their partner and talked about their lessons. Mal looked conflicted inside and Carlos couldn't help her, he felt so hopeless and useless. Free Periods are everyone's favourite lessons; they all get to spend at least an hour together before returning to official lessons. The boys spent most of the Free Period talking about Tourney while Evie, Jane, and Lonnie rolled their eyes at the boys, but Mal just looked down trying to avoid any unnecessary eye contact. Mal was having an internal conflict, one side of her wanted to run away right now but her other side wanted to stay with her Family that she had grown so close to since Ben's Coronation.

Mal felt a large bear-like hand brush her shoulder, she grabbed the hand and swung it around in a tight motion which caused the owner to fall into a restraining position. Everyone gasped in shock apart from Evie and Jay and Carlos who sat there in awe. Ben had to pull Mal back to stop her doing something that she might regret. With a bit of force, Mal sat back down, in clear annoyance she spoke "What do you want Chad?" another smirk pierced his lips "Well Mal I thought that you would have left by now considering I thought that WITCHES burned in sunlight" this time Mal had to restrain Ben. Audrey and Chad ran off clearly too scared to see what they could do back in return of revenge. They all sat back down and took in what had just happened. Everyone at the table sat in utter disappointment and all apologised to Mal thinking it would calm her and Ben down. However, this was the final straw, she ditched her books on the table was walked up to her locker, no one moved a muscle in case she had an outburst. They all stared in confusion as Mal went through her locker but the expression was soon wiped off their faces when they saw her Black duffel bag. She began walking over to the table and placed the bag on the table so she could fit in her science books. Ben stood up and peered inside the bag and pulled out a handful of clothes "Mal?... Don't you dare!" Ben used his kingly voice which was meant to establish dominance. "Mal please stop, don't go" Evie and Jane begged her but not a word left Mal's Mouth. As soon as she finished putting her books in her bag and replacing the clothes that Ben took out, she zipped up the bag, however Carlos unzipped it and they kept playing that game until Mal broke down "STOP, I've had enough, I'm not taking any more of this abuse besides you don't need me. Jay, please don't do anything stupid to ruin your college scholarship. Evie, You are so smart that I know that you are going to pass every test you take, mirror or not. Carlos, I know you wanted to help me today and that shows that you are good so don't doubt yourself again. Jane, Lonnie and Doug, thank you for accepting us, if it wasn't for you three and Ben then we might not have chosen good. Ben, I'm so sorry but this has gone too far, I love you and I always will but this is just too much for me. Tell your parents and Fairy Godmother that they were like the parents I never had and I loved them. I'm sorry Ben." By the time Mal's declaration was over her eyes were red and her cheeks were poofy. She never thought that it would come to this but it's happening. Mal gave one last hug to everyone and walked out of Auradon Prep's front gates.

That was a couple of hours ago, in that time she had heard that Ben had sent out guards to look for her but she was too deep into the woods to be found. Now she is just left to roam these woods and hopes that her old life won't follow her on her journeys.
