"Be careful little one." Alaika said as Ben stepped out of the passenger side of the car. "You know your father will get worried if you don't."
"Yes mom!" Ben said and he closed the door.
Alaika smiled. She had gotten used to Ben calling her his mother since she was regularly around him and his father. Ben was also some kind of son to her, since she might never have a child of her own. Even if she did marry Luke in 5 years, she was afraid of her father finding her out when she was pregnant and unable to protect herself without Luke around, then her father would take her back to Jefferson and treat her child the same way he treated her if it was a blackhead: like dirt on his perfect suit.
Ben walked on the plaza around the school, finding most of his classmates near the largest tree on the plaza.
"Hey Ben!" lots of girls greeted him in a flirty way.
"Hello girls." Ben politely said. He knew they were having crushes on him.
Ben looked around, but he couldn't find his best friend Myri. "Jacob, have you seen Myri?" he asked. "I can't find her."
"I saw her going inside, she didn't look very well after her mom dropped her off." Jacob replied. Jacob was another friend of Ben, quite a good friend.
"Thanks, I'll go find her." Ben said as he quickly walked into the school, to their classroom on the ground floor. As he stepped inside, he found Myri sitting in a corner while crying. Ben walked to her. "Myri, can I sit with you?"
Myri nodded, yet not stopping crying.
Ben sat down beside her and laid his left arm around her shoulders. "Wanna talk?" he asked. "You know you can tell me when you're down, you know."
Myri looked at him, sadness filled her emerald green eyes. "Ben, you are way too nice for a girl like me. I don't deserve a friend like you." she said.
"Myri, you need a friend like me. Tell me, tell me the reason of your sadness, and I will try to help you with everything I can." Ben said, pulling Myri against his side.
"I don't want to die yet, but I've got no reason to live!" Myri said. "The only ones sad will be you, dad and Syal, even my own mother doesn't love me!"
"Myri, look at me." Ben said.
Myri looked at Ben, straight in his kind crystal blue eyes.
"Live, live for me. I will help you out of that hell one day, as long as you keep believing in yourself. You're a wonderful and beautiful girl, your family is just blinded with the vision they have of the world. And you know they're wrong, you will survive these years." Ben encouraged her. "If you give up on your dad or Syal, just know that I'll always be there for you and that I shall hold you in your times of distress."
Myri smiled through her tears and hugged Ben's chest.
Ben also put his other arm around his best friend. He would do everything to make her happy again. Everything he could do. Everything…
Myri was sitting next to Ben as they sat in groups of four. Ben was an amazing friend she didn't deserve, and she was afraid for him. She was afraid her grandfather would find out and try to hit him too because of his fire red hair, if this would happen, Myri would probably never see Heaven in his eyes again.
Ben's eyes were the brightest shade of crystal blue, magnificent in their own way.
Myri loved just to look in them with her own green ones. But she didn't know Ben truly and deeply cared for her, wanting her to be safe and away from all the hurt her family brought her.
It was after school Ben dared to say his words to her. "Myri, be strong, be safe. Trust me."
