A/N- Hi guys! It's TOBN here with something new! I know that you guys are probably waiting FOREVER for my holiday special to come out; trust me, I am too! But I decided I couldn't keep updating Dear MBAV Writers and What If all the time, so I decided to give drama and romances a shot.
To be honest, I sorta had a crappy day today, so that might explain my genre choice...but I think it is pretty cool to write this. The cool thing about this book is that you (and Benny) will not know the pairing of this story until the end!
So this might be Bethan, Bennica, even Bory! Might even be Benarah...who knows? I challenge you to review who you think Benny's Secret Lover is!
But until the end, I hope you enjoy this story; I have decided to write in third person more than first; I have found that it was easier...but I will write in first person as well.
So with that, drop a review and have a [better] day [than me]!
Disclaimer- I don't own MBAV or is characters, just this plot. I am just a happy person writing FanFiction people!
ENJOY!
Benny's Secret Lover: Chapter 1: The First Letter
"Hey look guys! It's Weir-do!"
The nasty remarks echoed through Benny's mind like a blizzard. He frowned as he hastily scratched his pained arm, pain coming from the cuts he made the previous night. Even worse, those cuts have been made purposely.
"You are such a loser; I still don't get why you have friends!"
Benny lowered his eyes sadly, his own thoughts circling everyone's voice.
Did he really have friends? Even nowadays, they seem to ignore him. But then again, might be because he was so quiet the past few days.
Maybe it even might because he really was a loser.
"You are such a whore, why don't you just kill yourself?"
Benny feared the day that he might just give in and listen. Believing in their cruel words worried him; he never thought that their words would affect him so much.
"S-Stop.." He whispered silently as he attempted to walk away from the crowd of students. But even if he walked away, their cruel words followed.
"He's such a dork"
"What a bitch!"
"Even being a dumb-ass is better than being someone like Benny!"
"Him being a idiot is an under-statement!"
"Noob!"
"Isn't it obvious that he overeats? He is so fat!"
Their snarling laughter echoed through Benny's mind.
He did his best to brush the mean remarks away like he always did. Even his friends sometimes killed him with words, leaving him out of some situations.
"Geez Benny, maybe next time read the spell so you won't screw up!"
"Just be quiet dork! Save your geek-speak for later!
"I am so sorry B, I'm gonna have to cancel. Maybe next time? I'm sure you understand."
But he didn't. He never understood how people would think he was fine with the teasing.
Because everyone thought the same thing.
To them, he was a go-lucky person who brushed off every insult ever thrown at him.
"And then I doubled into his command tower and stole the Gem Of The Pacific Reign! They never saw it coming!"
Rory and Ethan high-fived as Benny nodded silently. He took a glance of the taco that was laid in front of him as Rory and Ethan continued to conjure up a conversation. Benny took a peek behind him when three girls giggle at him. Normally he would think it's because he was super hot.
But now he knew they were just making fun of him. He could even hear their taunting whispers from across the room.
"Look at him girls, he is gonna scarf down that whole taco!"
"What a pig!"
"He is so overweight; how can he not know?"
But Benny did know. He knew that he was overweight, therefore slipped his lunch into the garbage in sadness. It really looked like a good taco too. Ethan seemed to notice as he frowned.
"Hey B, what happened? Not hungry?" Benny nodded once more, tugging on his long sleeved shirt, that was conveniently a blood red striped polo. "Y-Yeah." Rory looked at him in sympathy. "Want some of mine? It's fresh!" He wiggled a paper bag in front of his face. The paper bag, or whatever was in it, squeaked. Benny pasted a fake smile onto his face as he gently declined. "Thanks anyway, but I think I'll just skip lunch."
And with that, he stood up and fled the crowded cafeteria, granting a few giggles from other students and a few whispered insults.
But more importantly, he left his two friends, their faces written in confusion.
Benny walked out of class. Another bad day... He thought sadly as he made his way over to his locker. Ethan was finishing their extra-curricular activity for their class, so he was at home. Rory...well who knows where he went. Erica and Sarah have gone to a local coffee shop, so with that, he was alone once again.
As he opened his locker, he felt himself crash to the floor, his head making a loud noise on the floor.
He looked up to see three jocks above him, all of them laughing.
"Klutz much Weir-do?" One of them cackled, making Benny frown in hurt and despair. "P-Please..just leave me alone." He murmured as he tried to get up. But the jocks pushed him down with great force, making Benny cut his wrist. He winced in pain as he saw a small cut of red drip. But the boys just laughed.
"Need your mom? Or your dad? Oh right! You don't have one!" The second jock laughed as Benny wiped the small cut of blood clean with his sleeve. The third boy picked him up and slammed him into a locker, leaving a new bruise on Benny's back. He stared at him in his emerald green eyes, holding a small smirk. Benny gulped as his eyes widened in fear. The jock smiled evilly.
"Do us a favor Weir? Kill yourself."
And with that, they cackled once more as they walked off. Benny blinked back tears as he saw a bunch of people snicker as they gave him cold glares. The dismissal bell rang as the crowd parted and the students rushed out of the school, grins on their face.
But Benny came out last, as he cried silently out of school.
Ethan sat cross-legged in his room as he made the finishing touches on the model of the galaxy. He smiled, feeling proud of his work. Or rather, him and Benny's work.
Benny had been supposed to be there to help him, but he said he couldn't make it. But Benny did do some work. He researched and typed the paperwork and he illustrated wonderful pictures of the galaxy. But there had been a catch.
His pictures were all in a dark backround.
Normally, Ethan wouldn't mind, considering space is black anyway. But there had been something different about the type of black he drew, like there was a reason for it.
Ethan knew Benny wasn't himself often, and was aware of his sudden personality change. He was skipping his meals and always wore long sleeves instead of his usual vibrant short-sleeved striped shirts. But all he could do was wonder, for Benny would never talk.
So with that, he stood up at once, thoughts brewing in his mind. He threw on a jacket and some shoes as he ran downstairs. His mom looked at him curiously from the kitchen.
"Going somewhere Ethan?" Ethan smiled. "Just going to see Benny! Be back soon!" He called out as he shut the door and made a dash for Benny's house, quickly texting his friends to do the same. He smiled.
Today I will find out what's happening with Benny once and for all.
Ethan hastily knocked on Benny's door. The gang silently stood there in the cold, awaiting an answer. Sarah broke the awkward silence.
"Do you know what could be wrong with Benny? He's been acting...non-Benny these days." Erica nodded. "Agreed. He hasn't even bothered to flirt with me all week!" Ethan rose an eyebrow. "Really? That's all you got?" Erica shrugged as Rory piped up. "Whatever's wrong, we need to make sure we fix it. Benny...he would do the same with us."
They nodded almost instantly. Ethan automatically knew this; Benny would be there for his friends no matter what.
After what seemed like an eternity, the door opened. It was Evelyn. She smiled kindly.
"Hello kids! All of you, come in! It is certainly chilly outside." They all smiled gratefully as they walked in. They took of their jackets as they sat down in the Weir's living room. "Would you like anything to drink? Hot chocolate, water, anything?" Rory smiled.
"I'll take a hot chco- ow!" Erica elbowed him sharply as he quieted down. "No thanks Mrs. Weir. Looks like some of us don't enjoy warm beverages!" He huffed as Eric shot him a glare. Sarah cut them off with a embarrassed smile. "Actually, we are here to see Benny." Evelyn's smile slowly turned into a frown.
"Oh. He's upstairs in the bathroom...but let me warn you...he...he isn't himself lately. I hope...I hope you can fix him; I really worry about him." The four smiled. "You can count on us Mrs. Weir!" Ethan said as they rushed upstairs.
The four sat in Benny's room, clearly bored. Rory fiddled with Benny's game controller as Sarah flopped on his bed. "How long does Benny take in the washroom? It has been an hour since we've came!" Rory nodded. "I really need to go to the bathroom!" Erica stood up from her spot on the floor.
"That's it! I am gonna bust that door down; no one takes that long in the washroom!" She stormed out as they followed her. Erica wiggled the bathroom handle and huffed in frustration. "Locked! Great." She slumped against the wall as Ethan snapped his fingers.
"Sarah, hand me your hair pin!" She reluctantly nodded as she took off her hair pin and handed it to Ethan. He inserted the hair pin into the lock and the door opened slightly. He smiled proudly at his friends. "It's a good thing Benny taught me that!" They smiled. "Now let's get our Benny back!" Rory cheered as he opened the door.
But their smiles deflated instantly as they covered their mouths in surprise. Sarah gasped as Rory covered his eyes. Erica's jaw dropped as Ethan rushed to his friend's side.
"BENNY?! Wake up!" Ethan yelled, shaking Benny a little. Erica, Sarah and Rory backed out slowly, for they couldn't resist the temptation.
Benny lied down on the floor, unconscious as a pool of red blood dripped from cuts on his arm, a razor right beside his bloody arm.
Benny's POV
Beep...Beep...Beep...
My eyes shot open. My eyesight was blurry as I took aware of my surroundings.
I was in a hospital room. Why would I... My thought trailed off as I glanced at my arm and gasped.
It was bandaged carefully, as a monitor tracked my pulse.
Beep...Beep...Beep...
It was steady, but is was fine. My eyes suddenly fall on my grandma, who was looking outside the window, tears dripping from her face. "G-Grandma?" I croaked. She suddenly looked at me and a grin emerged on her face.
"B-Benny...? You're...you're awake!" She ran up to my bed as she hugged me. I smiled. "Y-Yeah. What h-happened?" She wiped tears from her eyes.
"Why didn't you tell me? That you were hurting?" My eyes fell as I frowned. "I...I thought no one would care. No one does grandma!" I cried as she rubbed my head, her own tears spilling. "I do! I care about you! Your friends..they care! They haven't left your side since they found you, lying on the floor with that damn bloody razor. They had to leave because it was only family who was supposed to be here in these hours. But they care!" I frown as I look away. "What happened anyway?" She sniffed back tears.
"You...you cut a vein in your arm. Then you lost so much blood that you went unconscious. I..I was so worried. Ethan..Erica..Rory...Sarah...they were all so worried!" She sobbed. I frowned.
"I'm sorry grandma." She shook her head as she wiped the wet tears. "No. I am. We are so sorry Benny." She glanced at the clock. "I have to go. I will tell the nurse you're awake. Visiting hours are almost over anyway. I...I will see you tomorrow." She kissed my forehead and I smiled softly, which hardly ever happened lately.
"Okay grandma. Goodnight." She turned away, but before she left, she turned to face me once more.
"I almost forgot. Um...someone..wanted me to give this to you. The person requested it to be anonymous." She handed me a scarlet-colored letter. She smiled. "Sleep tight Benny." She walked out. I opened the envelope and read out a note.
Don't you ever do that again Benny. I...I wouldn't know what I would do if I lost you.
Because to be honest, I have loved you for a while. And I do care.
So have a good night, and dream good dreams.
Sincerely,
xX Your Secret Lover. Xx
My heart fluttered as I held the note closely against me chest. I smiled as I closed my eyes.
Because who ever wrote me this note, and told them that they love me, it was crystal clear to me.
That I loved them back.
A/N- So who could be that secret lover? Review your thoughts!
Until then, have a great day!
