Very sorry for not uploading recently, I am uploading the 18 chapters I have missed throughout the next couple of days. After that I will be back to regular, daily updates.

This chapter is a lot sadder then I usually write as one of the characters (not Ben or Mal) have passed away.

As was the norm for the past month Ben found his fiancee in his mothers rose garden, with Bree a few steps in front of him watching her. Ben stepped up next to his twin both brunette's eyes never leaving the purple haired young woman. "How long has she been out here?" Ben asked his twin sister.

Sighing Bree finally tore her gaze away from Mal and looked at her brother. "I'v been watching her for over an hour and she was here before I got here." The long haired brunette admitted causing Ben to nod. Bree smiled sadly in Mal's direction and watched as her brother walked over to her soon to be sister-in-law before turning and heading into the castle to give the couple some privacy.

Ben wrapped his arms around Mal as he reached her and immediately noticed she was crying. "Babe? You okay?" He asked her. It was a pretty stupid question really, considering what the past month had been like for the purplette.

"No." Mal stated, shocking the young king. Mal never admitted to anything being wrong, but this response had Ben hoping that just maybe Mal way ready to talk about it and try to move past it.

Tightening his arms reassuringly, Ben responded with "Do you wanna talk about it?"

Sighing Mal turned her attention back to the iten in her hands. Following her line of sight Ben noticed it was the last picture taken of his purple haired beauty and her best friend Evie. The young king moved to sit next to his fiancee as tears started to fall down her beautiful face. "I just... I can't believe she's gone." Mal said, her eyes remaining glued to the picture in her hands. "She was my best friend and the sister I never had. Evie was one of the most caring and compassionate people I knew." The purplette began ranting and Ben couldn't believe how much his fiancee was finally opening up about the loss of her best friend/pseudo-sister.

"She was there for me on the Isle when I felt like I didn't have anyone." Mal admitted to her fiancee. "When my mother took her punishments too far, it was Evie who helped me heal. When my mother told me I was nothing but a disappointment to her, it was Evie who helped me get over it. She's always been my rock Ben and now that she's gone I guess I'm just lost. I miss her so much." Mal said before the emotions became too much for the purple haired beauty.

With tears streaming down her face ben pulled Mal onto his lap, and she immediately curled up in his lap sobbing into his chest. Bebn wrapped his arms around her hoping it would at least give her a little comfort. "I know you miss her, Mal. We will get through this together." Ben stated and Mal nodded into his chest, her sobs never ceasing. Ben just hoped this release of emotions would help her to feel a little better since this was the first time she had cried over the loss of her friend.
