Hey guys, I know I probably shouldn't start another story due to the amount I already have to write; but I couldn't resist this one. So I thought I better warn you that this might take a little while to complete. Much love RSD xoxoxoxoxoxo.

"Mal calm down!" Ben shouted as he stepped in front of me.

"Don't you dare tell me to calm down Ben!" I shouted back. I hated arguing with Ben at any time but right now I didn't need to be arguing with him - I needed him to be there for me. However this didn't look like an option at the minute given the circumstances.

"Mal we just need to talk about this" Ben said trying to calm me down.

"No we don't!" I spat.

"You have made your actions very clear" I added as I took a step back away from him.

"Ben we have been together two years! TWO YEARS!" I shouted as I flung my hands up in the air.

"I KNOW!" he roared.

"Then why are you acting like this?" I asked incredulously.

"Like what?" he snapped.

"So cold and distant" I stated bluntly. I wasn't lying Ben had been acting off with me for at the last couple of weeks; I knew that he was stressed about his royal commitments but there was only so long that I could take him snapping at me and being distant with me.

"Mal I've just had a lot of my plate recently that's all" Ben said as he started to take some deep breaths to calm himself down.

"And you think that it is appropriate to shout at me and ask me why have I come to see you? Do you even know how that makes me feel Ben?" I asked as I wiped my eyes as tears had started to gather.

"Probably not" he answered.

"No" he was quick to add.

"I'm sorry" he said as he stepped towards me.

"No Ben" I said as I stepped away from him. Yes I needed a hug from Ben right now but something didn't feel right; I knew this argument was going to come up again as it had already twice now. However this time I thought things were worse as I had something that I really needed to tell him. But the words wouldn't form in my mouth; and to be honest I was far too hurt at the moment to bring the subject up.

"It's too late" I added.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Ben said as concern started to etch onto his face.

"You want me to leave you alone" I puffed as I took a couple of more steps away from him.

"Fine!" I said sarcastically and I quickly pulled my promise ring from my finger and threw it at Ben's chest.

"Be careful what you wish for Ben" I snapped as I watched his panicked face before I teleported away from Ben and into my dorm.

As I got to my dorm I quickly ran to my bed and I pulled my suitcase and backpack out before throwing them down on to my bed and opening them. Thankfully I had already charmed them with a size contents charm in case things lead to this.

"Pack my things quick and with haste so nothing else leaves a trace" I said and I watched as all my belongings started to fly neatly into my backpack and suitcase. After I quickly looked at everything in my bags; I quickly closed both bags and walked over to Evie's side of our dorm. Thankfully Evie was on a date with Doug tonight but I knew that she was in for a very big shock when she returned. I was also thankful that it was the last two weeks of college so I knew that I wasn't going to miss very much.

I quickly pulled a piece of paper out and a pencil and quickly wrote Evie a note:

"Evie,

I know that this is going to come as a shock; but don't panic. I need some time to think and I think that it is better that I leave for a little while. Don't worry I am safe; I will get in touch soon.

Love Mal xxxx"

I took one final look around my dorm and I pursed my lips together as I looked at how empty my side of my dorm was. I looked down to stifle some tears that were starting to form; I went to see Ben today as I needed to see him. I needed to tell him something important; I know that deep down that he didn't mean what he had just said. Part of me felt like I had overreacted but after an afterthought I knew that I was doing the right thing. I needed some space and time to think and maybe Ben needed a clean break from me anyway. I was only going to complicate matters for him. I loved Ben so much and this was a very hard decision for me but I knew that it was for the best.

"Bye" I muttered and I slowly closed my eyes and teleported out of my dorm away from Auradon, my friends and last of all Ben.
