Yay for my next batch of unfinished stories!

Yes, this is the sequel to "A Friend Like Rory." I'm thinking I may make this a three-story arc, depending on how this one goes. I'll see what I can do. :D

I hope this story turns out okay. I really feel kinda "iffy" on it soooo…. Yeah.

Also, I'm considering making this an "M-rated" story because come on, they're seniors in high school… hormonal teenagers… Get where I'm going with this? Of course, that's only a consideration. For now, this is a T rating :)

Hope ya'll like it.

Sadly, in no way do I own MBAV. I own nothing except the thoughts in my head, which apparently are pretty good…

Benny POV:

I smiled as I watched Ethan and Rory "argue" about some stupid movie we went and saw this weekend. Even though we're dating, Rory comes with us and hangs out with us all the time. It's not awkward for him. It's not really awkward for us. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't be together, so we're grateful to have him as our friend.

A few months have passed since all the trouble with Erica, Ethan's dad, that psycho chick, and all that drama. Ethan lived with Rory for a couple of weeks, but he's in a new house with his mom and sister, which happens to be a block from me! So we see each other even more now. I've even become good friends with his mom and sister.

The new semester for school is coming up. It's our last semester. We'll be graduating soon.

They're still arguing.

"Oh come on, the only reason you didn't see that part was because you were too busy sucking face with Benny!" Rory exclaimed, pointing a finger accusingly at me.

"Stop blaming my boyfriend for me not paying attention," Ethan said, shooting a smirk my way. I just stifle my laughter and watch them.

"Well if your boyfriend wasn't so insistent on making out with you while we're watching a movie, then I wouldn't have to blame him."

"It's not my fault that he finds me irresistible," Ethan said in a joking tone, finally causing me to burst out laughing.

"Y-you g-guys a-are t-too m-much," I said in between laughs, gasping for breath. They both look at me, serious looks on their faces as I continue laughing. Finally, Ethan breaks and begins laughing with me, Rory soon following. Once we've all stopped and caught our breath, I look at them. "Are you guys done arguing? I need to go get some school stuff." They both nod and we head to the nearest store, me and Ethan holding hands, Rory next to us, doing stupid shit to make us and passer-by's laugh.

So yeah, everything is going good.

Rory POV:

They look happy. Benny and Ethan. And it's all thanks to me! Because I'm awesome like that. They've been together for about 3 or 4 months now, which is pretty good for them both. Benny's never had a steady relationship because he wouldn't ever admit he liked guys, and Ethan was too emotionally scarred to let anyone close.

Until I came into his life that is. Now, me and him are best friends, almost inseparable, and he and Benny are inseparable. Seriously, they spend all the time together that they can. I asked them once if they had any problems with me always hanging around. They said no, because if it wasn't for me, then they wouldn't be together. That always makes me feel good, knowing I made my friends that happy.

Seriously, if they could, they'd be glowing with happiness. That's how happy they are. Looking at them now, I can't stop the smile that comes to my face. Ethan looks so happy. He's always smiling now, or laughing. And Benny's pretty happy too. Which makes me happy. Helping people feels good, but I'm too much of a goofball to do it all the time.

I miss Ethan living with me. It was like having a brother, which is what I think of Ethan as. But his mom finally got full custody of him and Jane, so they're living with her now, which is good for them both. They're dad was … well controlling and crazy.

I'm just glad to see Ethan happy. When he's happy, I can't help but be happy too.

Ethan POV:

We got into the store, Benny kissing me quickly then running off to get his school junk. I just shake my head at the spastic boy and look at Rory to see him smirking at me.

"What?" Before he could respond a young teenage girl, probably about 13 or 14 runs up to me, a huge, creepy smile on her face.

"OH MY GAAAAAAAAWD!" she said in a high squeaky voice, "YOU AND YOUR BOYFRIEND ARE SO CUTE TOGETHER! I COMPLETELY SUPPORT YOU! SO CUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!" she screamed again before being dragged away by her mom. [Don't ask about the random girl, I just had the sudden urge to throw her in there]

"Sorry about that," the woman said, dragging the girl away. "She gets excited easily," she called over her shoulder. Me and Rory just exchanged a look of pure terror before bursting out laughing. I see Benny pop his head over a shelf, looking at us.

"What I miss?" he asked innocently, causing me and Rory to laugh even harder. Honestly, I don't remember smiling or laughing this much before in life. And it's all thanks to them. I just hope this doesn't blow up in my face. All good things come to an end right? Our laughing dies down and I see Rory looking at me.

"Stop that," he says, face serious.

"Stop what?"

"Stop thinking so much. You're just going to give yourself a headache."

"I'm allowed to think."

"Not about stuff that upsets you,' he said, still watching me.

"How'd you -?"

"Ethan, I know you. Just stop thinking about whatever you're thinking about. Just be happy for once." I just look at him, surprised by what he said. Finally I nodded.

"You're right. I overthink way too much." He smiled then ran off to find Benny, leaving me alone with my thoughts. He's right. I always think too much. I should just be happy. Everything's going good with us. I really like Benny and he really likes me. Everything's going good and I plan to keep it that way.

3rd person POV:

She had seen the three boys walk into the store, the very store she was heading too. She quickly changed her course and just watched them, disgust on her face. She frowned when she saw the tall boy kiss the shorter brunette before running off.

"Ugh," she said to herself, watching them.

"They're still together?" a voice said, pulling her from her thoughts. She saw a girl a little younger than herself staring at the group of boys as well, a similar frown on her face.

"You know them?"

"The short brunette. The tall one and the blonde ruined everything!"

"Funny, the blonde and the short brunette ruined everything for me," she said, turning to face the other girl. "Maybe …?" she said, voice trailing off as she raised her eyebrows at the other girl, who smiled deviously back.

"Maybe."

"I'm Erica."

"I'm Sierra." The two girls shook hands, each wearing identical evil smirks.

Yep, that's the end of the first chapter! Hope this story turns out good : D

Let me know what you think!
