It's Andy ~Ben Tyler Cook Love Story~

Telling Ben

Andy and Ben walked down the pavement, looking for a place to eat. They talked about anything that came to their mind. They had ended up deciding on a pizza place. They went inside and sat down. Andy automatically looks down at the table.

"Hey Andy can I ask ya something?" Ben asked in a serious tone of voice.

"Yeah sure," Andy looked up from the table.

"Is your home life okay?" Andy's eyes widened.

"W-what?" Ben sighed.

"I saw your mother slap you in your car the other day. Is that a normal thing that happens at home?" Ben asks. Andy looks back down at the table.

"Yeah but I deserve it so it is fine," He replied.

"You do not deserve to be hit Andy," Ben exclaimed.

"Look Ben you don't understand okay?" Andy voice raising a little.

"Then help me understand Andy," Ben's eyes pleading, wanting to be able to help Andy.

"Not here Ben. Please," Ben nodded, letting it go for now. They both ordered their food and ate in silence. Andy wishing that Ben hadn't seen his mother slap him. Ben wishing that Andy is okay.

They finished eating and started to walk back to the hotel. Still in the silence that had upraised from earlier. they walk into the hotel and up to Andy's room. He unlocked the door and walked inside, Ben following him. They both sat on the bed.

"Andy -" Ben gets cut off.

"Do you really want to know Ben?" Ben nods his head. Andy gets up and grabs a picture from his suitcase. It was a picture of a girl, her hair going down to her waist, she was wearing a pale blue dress. She looked to be about 8 or 9. "Tell me Ben what do you see in the picture?"

"A young girl, wearing a dress," Andy nods.

"Do you know who that is?" He asks.

"Your sister?" Ben questions.

"Nope that is me," Ben looks up at Andy, confused. "That girl in the picture is me when I was 9. That was 8 years ago. When I was 13 I started to feel like something was wrong with me. I told my mother that I didn't want girls clothes anymore. That was the first time she had ever hit me. She forced my into dresses and skirts. She forced me to wear make up. I told her I wanted to be called Andy not Angie. She hit me again. When I was 14 I knew I was a male not a female. I told my dad this time. He supports me 110% but when I told my mom she was furious. She yelled that I was making it up. That I am not a male. I am a female. That if I am to ever say I am male again she is going to kick me out. That night she beat me until I couldn't walk. I have scars across my stomach and back because of her. My dad started to buy me guys clothes without my mom knowing. He had also bought me a binder and got me started on T. My mom hates me because I am not her daughter, I'm her son. She only let me go on tour because she thought that I had a women's part in the show. My dad knows that I am playing Davey. My mom would be pissed if she found out I was playing a male role. That night that you had saw her slap me in the car was because I told her my name is Andy not Angelica. She was pissed at me. But on the way here, my dad told me he was divorcing my mother because of what she puts me through. So yeah I deserve it because I can't be what my mom wants me to be," Andy had tears streaming down his face as he told Ben all of this. Ben, not knowing what to say, wrapped his arms around Andy and pulled him into a hug. Andy cried into Bens shoulder. "I'm sorry," he whispered to Ben.

"Don't be sorry," They sat on the bed hugging each other. Andy fought to stay awake but ending up losing. His head laid in the crook of Ben's neck as he fell asleep. Ben noticed that Andy had fallen asleep. He moved him so Andy was laying on the bed. Ben got up to leave when something grabbed his wrist.

"Stay please," Andy whimpered. Ben crawled under the blankets of the bed and laid next to Andy. Andy's head rested on Bens chest as they both fell asleep, holding on to each other.
