Playing With Fire

-Ben-

"Aye Ben, how're you feeling mate?" Sam said as I walked into the room the next day after school. I had completely avoided Danny today and I plan on it again.

"Better. I think it was just an upset stomach. Nothing to worry about." I replied, avoiding Danny's eyes.

"So Danny. Are you up for actually writing today or.?" James asked.

"Yea. I've got an idea. I just need Ben so I can figure out this part of a song." He said. I finally looked at him and he pleaded with his eyes.

"Alright let's go then." I said, grabbing my guitar. He walked up into his room and I walked past him to sit on the bed. I started playing a few random riffs while Danny just kind of stood there. Probably just thinking. He finally came to sit next to me and turned my face to his.

"You shouldn't be used to it. And I'm sorry." He said before getting up again.

"Danny! Someone's here for you!" James said a bit irritably from downstairs. I looked at him and he wouldn't meet my eyes. He walked downstairs and I followed him. It better not be Chloe. But right as we rounded the corner.. She was standing there. Smiling. Danny walked over to her and gave her a hug. Then led her to the room we were just in.

"So much for getting shit done today, eh?" Cam sighed. We heard giggles and whatnot coming from the room and I felt so terribly sick after that.

"Ben are you alright?" Sam asked. I looked up at him and tears ran down my face. "Ah shit I knew it. I knew you weren't actually sick yesterday. Im sorry." He said, wrapping me into a hug.

"Don't even worry about it, I'm used to it." I said for the second time today. Sam just looked at me with pity which made me feel worse. I just shook my head and walked out of the house. Fuck this kid, man. I was halfway home when I heard footsteps. I turned around and saw Danny running towards me. I rolled my eyes and continued walking. He caught up to me and I turned to look at him.

"Benji.." he said softly.

"What, Danny? What could you possibly want now?" I asked.

"I'm doing this all for a reason. This isn't what it seems like. I do really like you.."

"Yea. Obviously." I said sarcastically.

"Ben, I'm doing this cos I've fallen in love with you and I suck. I suck at love. So I'm trying to distract myself and I'm sorry that it's hurting you."

"Then why do you keep coming back to me? Why me?"

"Cos I already told you Ben. I love you. I am sincerely so sorry." He was almost pleading. Like he was begging for me to believe him.

"Then prove it. Dump Chloe. Never bring her around again."

"I don't want to hurt you, Ben.."

"You already are Worsnop." I turned away from him and made my way back home, feeling my heart ache.
