warning(s) - cursing!

AS THE PERSON who is dating Benny Rodriguez. You'd thought you'd feel powerful like you had absolutely nothing to worry about. You thought that the day he asked you to be his girlfriend, Was the day that you would never forget.

But, As life goes on. Shit happens. He swore he wouldn't change once you guys got to high school, You never doubted him. You believed him, Because of course, He's your boyfriend and you love him.

Love. It's a crazy thing. It can go bad, Or, It can go well. It's like that old, crazy saying, Love can make you do stupid things. And it did. For years you have risked your life just by dating Benjamin Franklin Rodriguez. He changed you, And you allowed him to do so with no hesitation.

"Hey man, We got a game tomorrow afternoon, You coming?" Benny asked someone at the table. Benny made the high school baseball's Junior Varsity team, No surprise there. With his brother being their star player on varsity, Now the school has two-star players on all fields. Maybe three if you'd consider Daniel Phillips to be one.

As someone spoke up, You immediately rolled your eyes as you recognized the annoying, high-pitched voice. "Hey Benny, You going to the football game Friday night?" Lisa asked. Lisa is the Captain of the volleyball team, So her sitting at the table with all the jocks was no surprise either.

Benny's grip around your leg loosened, He leaned forward on the table a bit and you saw a smile curve from the side. "Of course I am." He replied, You sharply exhaled at his words. The girls around him flirtatiously laughed, giving him all of the glory.

After getting sick of just everything in general, You stood up. Everyone stared at you like a genius looking at an idiot. You always felt like an outcast compared to all of them, The only reason they didn't pick on you was because Benny was your boyfriend.

Everyone liked—Likes—Benny. He's the hot-shot around the school. When the news came out that you guys were dating, Everyone thought it was a joke at first. You knew what you were signing up for when you said Yes to Benny three years ago. But that was 3 years ago. As much as you hate to admit it, He's changed. And not in a good way.

"Where you going, babe?" Benny asked as his fingers laced around yours, The only thing that's holding you back from leaving. With a little more force, you break out if his grasp and clutch your binder against your chest.

"Lockers." You mumbled before walking off. The Benny you knew three years ago would chase after you, Ask you what's wrong, Showed that he actually cared. Now, It's almost as if he doesn't give a single fuck.

You pushed through the crowds of kids and finally got to your locker, which was of course, in the middle of right where everyone was. You fiddled around with the lock and finally got it open, As you swung the door open, Someone closed it back shut. You flinched and looked to the side to see who did it.

"What's wrong?" Benny asked.

You rolled your eyes, "Now you care. Just go away, Benny. Not right now."

Before you even got to touch the handle to the locker, He slid his hand on top of it and kept the door shut. "What's wrong?" He asked again, This time more sternly.

"Nothing Benny! Gosh, why don't you just go back to your friends?"

"My girlfriend is pissed and I don't know why. So, I'm staying until I find out. Come on babe. What's wrong?"

"Don't babe me. Save that shit for some other girl."

You swung your locker open again, Grabbed your books out, and closed it. As you clicked the lock back on, You walk past Benny. You get yanked back a but as he grabbed your wrist.
