Who Are You

Chapter 16: Would You Rather

Ben did not go to school the next day

After school---

Josh: Should we go to his house?

Kaitlyn: Yeah but why would we go and say "hey we think you should turn yourself in"

Karli nudges her

Kaitlyn: What?

Karli: He isn't turning himself in, it was self-defense

Kaitlyn: He could still go to jail

Karli: Don't say that

Josh: Look....his cousin and that guy did drugs....HE didn't. What could happen?

Kaitlyn: Sorry if I'm being smart but...his cousin would go to jail or prison technically because he did the drugs for a while so he had plenty of time to tell the cops about him but didn't

Josh: So....

Kaitlyn: So...no one wants to end up in that hellhole so his cousin would want Ben to NOT tell the cops

Josh: He doesn't have to involve him

Kaitlyn: Yes he does

Karli: Why?

Kaitlyn: What was the point of that man harassing that kid?

Karli and Josh caught a glance towards each other

Kaitlyn: I made my point clear

They all head to Ben's house

Karli goes up and knocks on his door

His sister's answer the door

The first to be born 5 minutes before, Andy

The second one, Anna

Andy: Hello, Ben is upstairs in bed....he DEFINITELY needs the company

Karli: Thanks

Everyone walks in and heads upstairs

Ben's door was a slight bit opened

As they opened the door more, they saw his stuff just piled everywhere

Kaitlyn: God.....

Josh and the others go over to his bedside

Josh: Ben....

Josh shakes Ben

Ben: What.....

Josh: We think you should go to the police

20 minutes later----

Ben brushes his teeth, showers, and does whatever and sits back down on his bed

Ben: Your joking right....I can't do that

Karli: There isn't another choice

Kaitlyn: Yeah, if they find that guys body and not the killer in like a few days or even hours, they may think you had killed him....to just kill him

Ben: They already know that he hasn't returned home

Josh: How old was he?

Ben: He looked 30 or something

Karli: Does he have a wife...?

Ben: I don't know! You ask me this and I-Don't-Know!

Josh: Why don't you just calm---

Before he could finish, Ben gets up

Ben: Calm down....! Uh....I've been told that all my life, I don't need to know that anymore
