(Mal's pov)I fell asleep really easily after everyone left. Though I didn't see Ben leave. I woke up the next day and he was holding my hand lightly as he was asleep still. I do love him I really do, we just can't be together because of my magic, I wish it could be different. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't realize Ben woke up. "Morning Ben," I said to him, slightly happy that he didn't leave me last night. "Morning," He replied. "Ready to go home today?""Ready as I'll ever be! Wait, am I going back to my dorm?" I asked."No mal. Chill, you'll stay at the castle with me," He said calming me down. "If that's ok with you?" Reassuring that its ok with me."Yeah as long as its ok with your parents?" I asked. Worrying about Adam and what he said before. That I was just a villians kid."Mother was the one who offered actually," Ben explained."Oh. It was belle..." I said a bit worried that it was the only Belle and not Adam."Don't worry about my father, Mal" Ben tried to make out it was ok."How can I not worry! He hates me, I'll just stay in my dorm." I sighed. "Mal... My father was the one that jumped into the water to save you..." "What?" I said shocked that Adam would do that for me.At this, the door opened and just like he was listing Adam walked in."Hi son, Mal..." Adam said, his voice was covered in shame."Hi dad" ben replied to Adams greetings."Hi," I said softly."Mal, I just wanted to apologize for what I said yesterday. It wasn't right for me to say thoughts things. You haven't done anything wrong. It's just me being stuck in the past. I'm sorry Mal..." Adam said apologetically. "It's ok Adam, " I said forgiving him."I'm going to go see when we can take you home," Ben said trying to break the awkward silence. Ben left the room.I spoke up quickly. "Thank you""For what?" he asked confused."for saving me," I explained. "Oh, right, that." He acted surprised like he didn't know what he did for me."Why did you save me?" I stuttered. Still confused about why he did what he did."Because of your family Mal," Adam said "Really?" I asked puzzled."Yes, Mal your family," Belle said coming out of the corner."So what does that mean?" Ben asked with a smile on his face."Give her the ring ben, that is if she still wants to be apart of this family?" Adam said questioning the apology he gave me a few minutes ago. I nodded my head with a grin on my face, tears started to form in my eyes.Ben had a bigger smile than before, he reached into his back pocket and pulled out his gold beast ring and the engagement ring. He walked over to me and put the rings on my finger. He kissed me quickly before he pulled me into a hug.Belle by this point was packing my bag. Ready to take back to their castle. Belle and Adam left so I could get dressed. I looked in the bag that Carlos brought for me and all I could see was purple a purple leather jacket, covering some other clothes. I just stared at it for a while until Ben spoke up."What is it Mal?"I pulled out the jacket from my bag. The jacket was purple and green leather with studs all around it. On the back was a dark purple dragon mixed with a light one to make a heart. I used to wear it on the isle before we moved to Auradon. I just looked at it. I came out my daze a minute or so later. I got dressed and walked out the hospital linked in arms with Ben.
