Chapter 11-Benny's Story
Demi P.O.V
Benny came running over to me at the end of the game.
"You should be in bed!" he said, but he was grinning as he said it. I smiled back with my bloody lip, "I couldn't miss this. Plus I wanna have a little talk with Phillips." I saw Phillips crying like a little girl on the field, and I laughed a little. "What a baby." Benny laughed with me, and the other guys came around us and grinned at me. "Demi! Arent you proud of us?" Ham asked, raising his eyebrows. "Very." I said, and he high-fived Kennny. Just a summary, Benny hit a grand slam and we creamed them for the rest og the games. Benny stuck a hand out, I think he was gunna hug me, but thought otherwise and put his hand down. Smalls was smiling big, but stopped when Phillips and a few of his teamembers came over to us.
"Get the hell out of here Phillips!"
Benny looked like he was gunna murder someone, and he suddenly pounced on Phillips and started pounding him. Phil tried ot get him off him, but Benny was a lot bigger than him and didn't even budge him,. "Get Him Benny!" we all yelled, and he mustve pounded him for 10 minutes before someone came over and broke it up. Benny didn't even have a starch on him, while Phillips looked almost as bad as I did. Benny walked back over to us and the guys all started hugginh him and giving him high-fives. I smiled and stayed back while they all got off of him.
"Benny!"
He saw me and ran over to me. I just smiled at him for a few seconds before saying anything. "Benny…thanks for doing that." I started, suddenly really nervous. Benny blushed and stratched his neck. "Yeah…He deserved it." he responded awkwardly, and I just kept smiling. "Can we walk?" I asked him, and he looked at me surprised. "But..your like…hurt!" Benny protested, but shrugged. "I can walk fine, we can stop at the park if I need to sit." I said, and he thought for a second. "Okay, but if you collapse im carrying you back to my place." He said smiling, and I smiled and nodded. "Deal."
Benny talked to the guys quickly and we started walking. It was an akward silence for a while, but I quickly broke it.
"Can I ask you something? Or somethings I should say?"
Benny nodded, and we were coming up to the park soon. I turned to him a little, "Whats your favorite color?" that wastn what I was gunna ask, but I paniced a little. Benny laughed a little but answered, "Blue, yours?" I thought for a second, what was my favorite color? "Hmm…Royal Blue." Benny smiled, "Nice." I smiled back and Benny decided to ask me something. "Whats your favorite…animal?" we asked each other questions for the next 10 minutes, and then I saw swings at the park. I put a hand on Benny's arm and looked up at him with wide eyes. "Can we swing?!" I asked excitedly, and he laughed. "I guess." I hobbled over to the swing and sat on it while Benny took the one next to me.
"Anymore things you wanna know bout me?"
"What is the rest of yoru family like?"
Benny's face fell a little, and I regretted asking that. "Im sorr-" Benny shook his head though, and stopped swinging. "Its fine…Well, my real dad died before I was born, and my mom remarried a guy who had lots of money. I don't have any other siblings, caus my mom wasn't able to have anymore." I thought my heart broke inside, and I looked apologeticly at Benny, who was looking at the ground. "Im sorry Benny." I said quietly, and he just shrugged. I sat up a little, "Well you already know my parents are both dead so…."I said, now me looking off in the distance. Benny looked up at me sympathectily. "Yeah, that doesnt make me feel any better." We both laughed a little and Benny got up and stood my my swing.
"Well, if you ever need someone to talk to…just come on over."
Benny blushed when he said this, but I smiled up at him. "Thanks Benny." I replied, and he smiled and I got up and stood by his side. We smiled at each other, and watched the sunset for a little while, before I heard Riley call my name. "I guess I better get going." I said, turning to him. He had a sad look on his face when I said that. "Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow, I promise." Benny said, and he didn't blush this time. I smiled, "I look forward to it." I responded, and he grinned back at me as we started to walk to the main street. "Oh and Benny," I started, and he looked at me.
"Your bed is really comfortable."
Benny burst out laughing and I laughed with him, and as we rounded the corner, everyone else was standing there, looking at us like we were crazy. "Umm..whats so funny?" Squints asked, but we just smiled and kept walking. "Nevermind." I said, and we laughed until we got back to Benny's house.
