Heartbreak Hotel

When Ben breaks Mal's heart and decides to date Audrey again after Audrey somehow managed to get Ben back. Mal refuses to cry about this, but it doesn't work. Ben knows how tough she is and he knows he hurt her too much when tears graze the ground. She turns and flees . Ben goes after her, but she's already found the comforting arms she needs. Ben watches the story unfold from the doorway as Mal finds her comfort in Jay. He can't hide his surprise that Mal ran to him first when he knows Evie's in her dorm with Carlos and Dude. Ben is even more surprised that Jay is being gentle with her when Jay isn't gentle with anyone. Audrey pulls Ben away but Ben is still confused. When Ben goes back to check on her, all three of her friends are surrounding her on Jay's bed. Ben is looking at true friendship and he's jealous of all four of them that they have each other. When Mal stops showing up to class and Jay refuses to talk to anyone but Carlos and Evie about her, Ben knows something is wrong. He tries to help her, and he thinks it's working when she comes to class one morning. But he was wrong. He had made her situation worse and he dug the hole deeper for her instead of filling it in and pulling her out.
