Yea sorry that I got behind how short last chapter was… Ugh I really need to get caught up… Anyway this one is another feely chapter. There are mentions of abuse and other stuff this one goes with the other Prompt Neglect. This is also Friday's prompt.


Rook's POV

I hated seeing Ben like this. I knew his secret and I hated keeping it. I knew he was hiding other secrets and I was going to get to the bottom of it. I knew that he would be by himself at his place. I did not know what I could do. Should I tell someone or should I try and convince Ben to come with me? I have been sitting in my truck in his driveway for a little while and he still did not know I was here. I was debating what I should do. I got out of my truck and went to his front door. I knocked but I did not hear anything on the other side. I knocked again. Still no answer. I tried the door and it was unlocked so I let myself in. It was complete silence in here. I walked around the, what I presumed, the living room. It was dead as a ghost in here. There was a small noise from a room. I could not tell what it was. Maybe sobbing… I was not too sure. I walked to where the noise came from and it led to a bedroom. I assumed it was Ben's. I looked inside it and saw Ben in the corner huddled up to his knees facing the wall.

"Ben?" I asked.

He turned around and I could tell his eyes were red and puffy. A shocked look went across his face.

"Rook?" He asked wiping his face. "What are you doing here?"

I knelt by him and put my hand on his shoulder.

"I was worried about you." I said.

He just turned away. I grabbed his chin and made him face me.

"Ben please… I want to help you. You cannot keep living like this!" I begged.

"I…" He started to say. "You're right… I can't keep living like this… I can't live with constant fear of them… But I'm just scared. Where am I going to go?"

"You could stay at my place." I said.

"I can't do that to you…" He said.

"I have more than enough room." I said.

"I can't…" He said denying it.

"Do you trust me?" I asked.

"Well…" He started to say.

"Do you trust me?" I asked with more emphasis.

"Yes. I do trust you." He said.

"Then take my offer. If not for yourself then for me. I cannot let you stay here and if you stay with me I will not have to worry since you will be safe." I said begging.

"Alright." He said looking at me and smiling.


And that is done… Thank god… Alright I'll try to get yesterday's and today's prompts up but I have something in a few hours so I might not be able to. Just know that I was trying to stretch this out but this is all I could get. :P I couldn't make much BRoken in here because of how sad this was... :/
