Bruises - Ben Hardy x Reader [Trigger Warning]

You had woken up with your eye throbbing, a sore throat, feeling like you were still being strangled. You looked over at the still asleep monster that you have been dating for 6 months now. It was great at first, the abuse only started after 2 months, and from that point onwards you were too afraid to leave, afraid he would kill you.

The only people that knew of the abuse was your flatmate, Maxine, and your best friend, Josh, not because you told them, but because they often either heard the beatings or saw the aftermath.

Maxine often begged you to leave him, Josh often threatened to kill him, but they both understood your fear, and they soon dropped it, after realising how dangerous it could be for you.

You climbed out of bed, threw on your tights and an old hoodie, placing sunglasses on your face, trying your best to hide your new bruises. You left the room as quietly as possible trying not to wake up the monster.

Thats when you noticed Ben, Joe and Gwilym had all come over, sitting in the living room, having coffee with Maxine and Josh. Luckily, you on your way out for a walk anyway, you quickly moved past the living room, trying to avoid the stares, giving a nod of your head to greet them, unable to speak. You then left, going to walk amongst your thoughts before having to say a word.

While you were gone

A long sigh came from Maxine as they all watched you leave the flat. She looked back at Josh, a concerned expression on both their faces. The three boys had no idea what was happening, but they knew it wasnt good.

Ben always had feelings for you, but he hid them, knowing you were in a relationship. You also had feelings for Ben, you so desperately wanted to run into his arms and tell him everything that goes on, begging him to protect you. But you were too afraid, however, if you had realised that the monster was actually intimidated by Ben, you would have left him for Ben a lot sooner.

Did you see those new bruises? Josh broke the silence, staring at Maxine.

Yes, she tried to hide them, but she didnt do a great job at it. Maxine sighed, staring at where you had once been, Her and Nic had a fight again last night.

What are you talking about?! Ben piped in, now frustrated about what he doesnt know about you.

Nic, he hurts Y/N, its been going on for months, shes too afraid to leave him and we are too afraid for her safety to do anything. Maxine sighed, Joshs fist started to clench as she explained.

The boys were left speechless. Gwilyms mouth was agape, not sure what to say. Joe stared at the floor, processing everything. Bens face was the definition of pure fury, he was angry with Nic for what he does, with you for not telling him, and at himself for not realising you were in pain.

What was the fight about this time? Josh asked, ignoring the boys expressions.

I think it was actually about you, Ben. Maxine answered, looking at Ben, who suddenly looked up, heartbreak and guilt on his face.

Hes threatened by you, he thinks your closeness with Y/N means she is sleeping with you or something. He will never confront you, for some reason he is also terrified of you. So he takes out on her, the more she denies something is going on, the more angry he gets, and the more aggressive.

But nothing is going on! Ben raised his voice. And why dont you do something, you live with her?!

Your flatmate was starting to get angry now, I cant do anything! She will never forgive me if I did something! Do you know how much it breaks my heart to hear her get beaten and beaten, over and over again. Hearing her cries, his yells, a few weeks ago it was so bad I had to rush her into Casualty because he refused to!

This shut Ben up. Josh sighed, Where is he now?

He is still in her room, he didnt want to leave out of fear that she will run to Ben for help.

All the mens heads looked up, realisation hitting them that the man that causes their friend so much pain, is right in there, vulnerable. Maxines eyes widened, out of realisation of what they had planned. No, she will never forgive you. And what if this causes her more danger?!

You said it yourself, he is terrified of Ben, if we were all to beat him shitless, including Ben, he might get the point. Joe finally spoke.

Maxine soon gave up, as the men all entered your bedroom.

******************************************************************************************************

You entered the flat, tear stained face, terrified of the fact that the monster is still in there. Maxine was in the kitchen, wrapping Joshs hand, Joe and Gwilym were standing next to her, holding their own hands. Ben was sitting by the window, staring out of it, lost in thought.

What happened? You croaked, gaining the attention of everybody. Wheres Nic? You started to panic.

Hes gone. Josh replied, We took care of him for good this time.

You stared at him in shock, processing what he was telling you, not realising Ben had approached you slowly, now standing in front of you.

He wont hurt you anymore. Ben stroked your cheek, taking off your sunglasses, revealing your purple bruise. His felt a split second of anger from seeing the bruise, but then his face softened.

Tears started to fall down your cheeks, realising you were now safe. Everyone left the room, leaving you and Ben alone.

You both stared at each other for a while, before you noticed his red knuckles, now breaking down in tears, falling into his arms. He protected you, he was one of the ones that saved your life. He gently shushed you, stroking your hair, letting your tears stain his shirt.

I cant . believe . Hes gone. You cried out.

Ben lifted your head to look at him, you could start to see the tears threatening to fall out of his own eyes, making them sparkle more.

He will never bother you again. If he ever comes near you, we will take care of him. You never have to be afraid again. You deserve someone who is kind to you, you will beat themselves before even thinking of hurting you. Who will cry at the sight of you in pain. His tears started to fall at his own words, looking at your bruises, making him cry harder.

You started to cry as well, both of you soon slid down to the floor, both crying, holding onto each other. You never wanted to leave his embrace, and you started to realise how much you actually loved him.
