Big Damn Table

21. Friends

How do I describe the relationship between Kevin and Ben? Well...

They're a lot more than just friends. Don't get me wrong. I am Kevin's girlfriend after all and being that, maybe I shouldn't have put it like that. Sounds really weird, now when I think about it. OK. Let's rephrase that.

Kevin and Ben are more like brothers. They had a rough time when we all reunited as teenagers. I trusted Kevin more than Ben did, having to hear about Kevin's mistakes from Ben's mouth over and over again. He didn't want to see that good side that Kevin naturally possessed. Ben was stubborn and it took him more than just a few battles to see that good side that Kevin had. Once Ben saw Kevin doing well, he began to warm up to him. Then they started joking around and teasing. Ben and Kevin would get into little spats, but they grew over it over time and they became almost like brothers. Despite the arguments and the past that they shared, they are closer than any two friends that I know of.

Well, and you may be questioning this. Things like this don't happen. Only in fairy tales. So what, a kid that had a murderous streak all of a sudden shows up five years, does a face heel turn, becomes the good guy and everything is happy? Well, it sounds unrealistic when people put it like that, but with these two, it just came along a lot faster than most would.

And for that, I'm so appreciative. In this world of chaos, aliens, destruction and lies, these two found themselves to be quite the pair.

Ben and Kevin? If you're reading this, don't make any snide comments or whatever. Because I know that deep down inside that you two really care for each other. Like brothers. Like family. I love you both and I'm so happy to know that you two aren't...well...trying to rip both of your throats out.

Gwen sighed contently, closing her journal. She tucked the pen into the spiral, put the notebook on her desk and snuggled into her bed, smiling as she drifted off into sleep.
