I looked at Phillips and I rolled my eyes.
"Leave me alone, please," I said to Phillips.
"Princess, I'm not here to fight," he said, winking.
"I'm not your princess," I said. He walked closer to me.
"It can happen," he said smiling. He grabbed my waist and he held it tightly. I could feel his hands burning into my skin.
"Please, Phillips, let me go," I said quietly. I thought back of Ryan and how he would hold my waist and I would have marks on my skin.
"Let her go," Benny yelled. I turned around and saw him walking towards us. Phillips pulled me closer, his hands getting tighter.
"Aw, poor Benny, I'm hurting his little girlfriend," Phillips pulled me onto him and he forced his lips onto mine. I tried pulling away but his grip got even tighter. Tears started falling down my face. He wouldn't let me go and he kept kissing me. Phillips pushed me on the ground and I was still crying. Benny ran over by me and helped me up, making sure I was okay. I put my arms around his neck and we hugged each other for a few seconds. He pulled away and stood up.
"What the fuck, Alek? Now you're trying to hurt Addison?" Benny yelled. He walked over and punched Phillips. I turned the other way because I couldn't watch.
"Boys!" Phillips yelled. A bunch of Alek's friends came out and started fighting Benny. They were punching him until he was on the ground and then kicking him. I screamed and ran over to Benny. I punched Alek and his friends until some adults came out. I went on my knees by Benny and saw he had blood all over his clothes and his face. I was crying even more and I put my head on his chest and sobbed. I felt him breathing and Alek's friends ran off already. I looked at him and I kissed him, seeing if he would wake up, he was unconscious. I cried even more.
"Help! Please! He's hurt!" I screamed. An ambulance came and took Benny, his mom going with him. I stayed on the road and cried. Connor walked over and looked at me.
"Are- are you coming?" He asked me. I wiped my tears and got up. I walked slowly to the house and ran into my room. I cried and cried and help the necklace Benny had given me. I cried myself to sleep.
The next morning I woke up and my skin was bruised and it hurt, a lot. I checked in the mirror and there were two marks where Phillips had put his hands. I poked at it and I winced at the pain. I went into my closet and grabbed a thrasher shirt and some black jeans. I put on my checkered vans, brushed my teeth, and my hair. I grabbed my phone and walked to my parents room.
"When are we going to go see Benny," I asked.
"Later," my mom said. I sighed and walked downstairs. I walked into the kitchen and Connor looked at me. I grabbed a cup from the top shelf and filled it with water. Connor walked over and lifted up some of my shirt and saw the marks from Phillips.
"Did Benny do this to you?" Connor said. I pulled my shirt down.
"No, don't worry about me," I said.
"Who the hell did it to you," Connor said.
"Alek Phillips," I mumbled.
"Isn't he the guy who beat up Benny?" He asked. I swallowed hard and nodded. Connor opened the door and started walking. I ran over by him.
"Where are you going?" I asked.
"To beat that Phillips kid's ass," he said. I turned back around and started walking back to my house. I ran up to my parents room and my mom was ready to leave. I ran down the stairs and I jumped in her car and buckled myself. We started driving and the whole ride there was silent. Once we got to the hospital I ran out of the car and ran into the hospital.
"I'm here to see Benjamin Rodriguez," I said.
"He's in room 214," the secretary said. I walked to his room and knocked on the door. His mom answered and she hugged me.
"I'll give you two some alone time and go talk to your mom," she said smiling at me. I walked over to Benny and hugged him. He hugged me back and once he pulled away we deeply kissed each other. He put his hand on my neck and I kept kissing him. I pulled away and sat in the hospital bed next to him. He laid down and I put my head on his chest and he played with my hair. I looked up at him and kissed his jawline, making him smile.
"I hate myself for being a coward," I said. Benny kept playing with my hair.
"You aren't a coward, baby," he said.
"You're in the hospital because of me," I said. I felt like crying again. He kissed the top of my head and I grabbed his free hand and kissed it. We just laid there for a few minutes in silence, until Benny remembered something that happened last night.
"Show me your sides," Benny said.
"What?" I asked, confused.
"Show me what Phillips did to you," He said. I sighed and stood up, lifting up some of my shirt. You could see two bruised hand marks on my sides and some other scratches and bruised around it. The bruised were big, and they hurt whenever someone touched them. Benny reach out and he put a hand on my waist and I winced.
"I'm sorry," he said. I shrugged and put down my shirt. I walked back over to Benny and I pressed my lips against his, putting my hand in his hair. I went on his bed and laid back down next to him. He touched my side again and lifted up my shirt to reveal the bruise. I looked at him and kissed him again to try and take his attention off it.
"I'm okay, Benny, really," I said smiling. He didn't stop looking at the bruise until I took his hand and put mine in it. He took my hand and kissed it, making me blush. He made me feel like a little kid again. He still wouldn't take his eyes off the bruises so I took my shirt and pulled it down.
"It only hurts when someone touches it," I said, he nodded. I looked over and I saw our moms come into the room. I put my head on Benny's chest and he played with my hair again.
"Your hair is beautiful wavy," he said. I smiled and kissed him again.
"You two are so cute!" My mom said. Benny's mom nods and laughs.
"Your babies would be cute too," Benny's mom said. Benny blushes and I kissed his forehead.
"They aren't wrong," I whispered. Benny's face got even more red and I giggled a little. We both ended up falling asleep and waking up an hour later. Benny had his arm around my waist and I was comfortable, and I could tell he was too. I looked over and him and kissed his forehead and started walking away. I walked out of the room and I walked into the waiting area where my mom was. She got up and said bye to Laura, and so did I. I walked over to her and whispered, "tell Benny I said goodbye, he's asleep," and walked out with my mom. We got in the car and a few cold tears dropped down my face. "It's my fault," I said, struggling to get the words out.
"None of this is your fault, honey," my mom said. We went the rest of the ride in silence.
Once we got to the house I went for another walk. Again, I was lucky enough to see Phillips. He walked over to me and put his hands on my sides. I didn't fight it because I knew last time I did Benny got hurt.
"Wow, you aren't resisting. I knew you would want me," he said laughing. His grip got tighter and tears started falling down my face.
"I don't want you, I'm with Benny sti-" he grabbed my sides tighter and he kissed me again. He put one hand on my head now and kissed me. I tried pushing away because it felt wrong, and he wasn't anything like Benny. He reminded me of Ryan which made everything worse. Once he finally let go, I fell to the floor and I cried. Phillips walked away and I ran the other way and ran into my house. I went into the bathroom and lifted up my shirt, I could see the marks from today on my skin already. I walked in my room and threw on an old T-shirt and some adidas shorts. I walked into Connor's room and he was already asleep. I have to admit, I guess I was out there for a while because it was already 10:15. I went into my room and texted Benny.
Hey baby, good night❤️ I texted him. I turned off my phone and found a comfortable position to be in so that the bruises didn't hurt as much. My phone rang and I saw it was from Benny.
"Hey, beautiful," Benny said. I smiled.
"Hi baby. I'm going to bed.. I lo-" I stuttered. "I'll see you tomorrow, goodnight," I said.
"Good night," he said. I hung up and fell asleep.Hola everyone! So this chapter was hard writing and I hated doing it, but I did. Anyway, another chapter will be coming out soon:)
