A Thousand Years

the 'Talk'

(Benny's pov)

OH Crap I'm Screwed I'm done. He saw he fringin saw. Oh man am I dead....well even more dead.

"E-" I started

"WHAT THE HELL MAN? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?"

I looked at him I was at a loss for words. Ethan NEVER swore....ever.

I looked out of his window. I couldn't look at him, not when he is mad.

" Benjamin," His voice was cold, stern. It scared the living shit out of me when he calls me 'Benjamin'.

" Tell me "

"What?"

My heart raced.

"What is going on"

"Nothing"

"You know better than to fucking lie to me."

He took a breath in, his expression changed. It got softer.

"Please Benny tell me...what is going on. Please. I'm here for you."

He choked

I felt bad about this. That I have to lie to my best friend.

" E... you. Have had wonky visions before right? Maybe this is the same."

"No Ben. I know what I saw... you fucking died. And I wasn't able to help you."

He was about to cry. I hate it when he cries because I end up crying.

"E stop crying. I am not going anywhere ok"

"For now anyway" I thought.

"You're right. Lets just hope that this was just a wonky vision"

He gave me the biggest hug in the world.

I didn't want to let go....ever.

" Umm Benny. . You can let go now." Ethan said growing limp.

"Right." I let go awkwardly.

"Hey I'm going to grab a some pizza from Joey's wanna come? "

" Nah I'll wait here"

"Cool see you in 10 mins"

My heart was still beating fast. The pain of lying to my best friend hurt. I couldn't do it anymore. I can't do it anymore.

I looked outside. I watched Ethan. He turned and waved at me. I gave a small wave back. I watched the sky's changing colours from blue to yellow to pink purple. I thought about Ethan and how much he means to me more than a friend. I thought about how much I loved Ethan in order for me to do this for him.

"BENNY"

I screamed and turned around to see a pissed off Sarah leaning on the door frame.

" Shit Sarah you can give someone a heart attack..." I awkwardly laughed

" He fucking knows doesn't he?"

"Well... I mean....I...."

" Fuck Benny. I told you not to think about it and not to touch him. Fuck."

" I told him it was a wonky vision. Sarah I'm sorry. Okay? I'm sorry! He is going to find out and when he does..."

I felt my eyes tear up. I slammed my fist against the wall of his room.

" It will be too late to do anything about it."

" Which is why I told you not to think about it, and not to get too close to him"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know but I messed up today."

" Uhhh you think?? You could jeopardize this whole plan"

" Shhh keep your voice down"

She glared at me.

"Sorry. I'm shutting up now."

" You need to stay away from him. If you don't want to hurt him that is the best option."

'Yea your right let me just stay away from my best friend/ the man of my dreams and let him kill himself thinking about my well being while you cuddle up to him.. Yea good plan' I thought

" Look the best way to get over this hiccup is to act as if everything is normal. Yes he may get some visions but we got to keep telling him that they are wonky. Knowing him is probably going to start snooping around."

" God I hope your right."

"Right about what?" Ethan asked as he entered the room

" That you will be back the pizza I mean come on man I was starving." I smireked

"uggh is food always on your mind?" Sarah smacked my arm.

I would be lying if I said that it didn't hurt. The girl is strong.

" 24/7"

"uggh" she rolled her eyes and walked away

" There was a long line at Joey's. I mean it is a cold long weekend."

" That's true"

" So you and Sarah?" Ethan asked coldly

" What about 'me and Sarah'?"

" I was gone for 10 minutes. 15 at max. And the two of you are getting really close. "

" Wha- E its not like that we uhh.. are working on a project together that's all."

" Yeah right" he scoffed. He put the pizza down roughly on his desk.

" Is someone jealous??"

" Me? Jealous? Benny the one thing you should know about me is that I don't get jealous now sit down and eat the pizza"

Don't have to tell me twice
