"Uh... BEN?" I looked at the boy with his tear-stained cheeks. I really hope I didn't upset him.

"What?" he asked with a sour tone. Maybe I should just come back later, when he's not so... unlike himself.

"N-Nevermind," I whispered as I walked away from his room and towards mine. He slowly opened his door, peeking out at me.

"Wait!" he yelled. I turned around, happy to see him. I ran towards him, hugging him tightly. He hugged me back, but he still wasn't acting like himself. He hasn't smiled or laughed in the past 3 days. And I've barely seen him, only at meals. He just sits the farthest away he can from everyone else and just picks at his food. I didn't make him upset, did I?

"Are you okay?" I asked, worried, as I broke the hug.

"I'm fine." He inviteded me inside, and I sat on the green couch.

"You're not." He closed the door slowly and looked at me, eyes full of shock and sorrow.

"What?"

"You're not fine. There's something wrong. I can tell." He let out a breath of air, looking down at the ground. He opened his mouth, as if he was about to speak, but no words came out.

"Told you. Now, please, will you tell me what's wrong?" I asked sympathetically.

"You'll just laugh..." he whispered. He was still looking down at the ground. A tear rolled down his cheek and dropped on the carpet below him.

"I swear I won't."

"You sure?"

"Positive."

"Jeff and I, we, well... we dated, and he left me. He broke up with me for some girl that he met, but, I found out that he was just lying. He killed the girl the day after he told me. And... when he told you that he loved you, I just couldn't believe him. He hasn't even known you for a week. I really liked him, and when I asked him to be my boyfriend, he said that he didn't want to date me because he only knew me for a week. I was heartbroken, and I just sat in my room all day. I wouldn't eat or work, and that's when Jeff started to worry. He felt bad for me and asked me out. At least, that's what he told me when he broke up with me. That he never really did love me, he only wanted me to be happy because we were friends, even though we weren't after that..."

I was completely shocked. I never knew anything about Jeff and BEN, besides that there was some conflict between them, but I never expected this.

"I'm sorry, I'm sure you don't care about-"

"No, I do! Not that I'm trying to invade in your personal life, but, I do care. Thank you for telling me that."

BEN's POV

Jinx got up from the couch and hugged me once again.

"You're welcome," I whispered. It felt good to be hugged. I felt like she cared for me, like she was always going to be there when I needed her.

We talked for a while, just like we did before. It's almost as if nothing happened. Like Jeff had never left, and like I had never told Jinx the secret that I promised myself I would never tell anyone.

She left after playing video games with me for an hour or two, and I heard a knock at the door about five minutes after she did leave. She must have forgot something.

I opened the door, but Jinx wasn't there. It was... Jeff...
