Wow I got up to 31 reviews! O.O I hate to ask this but let's try for 40+ by the end of the month. XD This is my most reviewed Ben 10 story, up to this date: 2/25/14, but it's lower than my Danny Phantom story that is 51 reviews. XD Thanks for the reviews. Now let's get to the chapter at hand. Today's one goes with Memory. It goes right after it since that was so short. And it's a Rook chapter! (Lord knows we haven't had one in a while.) [3 more days left for this! O.O]

Rook's POV

I put my arm around Ben to try and comfort him. He did not even look up at me. He just kept looking at the grave. I knew how much this hurt him. I tried to do all I could to help him but sometimes that was not enough.

"I know you're trying to help, and don't get me wrong I appreciate it, but it isn't working…" He said still not making eye contact.

"I guess I need to try harder then." I said smiling.

"Who's asking you to try harder?" He asked harshly. "I never asked you to bring me here nor to be at my side. He wasn't you grandpa so why do you care so much?"

"I have said this before he was one of the first earthlings to help me." I said pulling him closer to me. "Also before he died I promised him I would look after you." That got his attention and he looked at me. "And I fully intend to keep that promise."

"You're just staying with me because of a stupid promise?" He asked angrily while trying to get out of my grip.

"No." I yelled at him. "I am staying with you because I want to not because I have to."

"I never asked you to!" He screamed.

I just held him tighter while he tried to resist. He gave up after a little bit and just snuggled into my chest while looking down. I knew he did not mean those things. I knew he just missed Max and that was why he was acting like this. I felt something wet on my shoulder and I looked up. Rain was coming down slowly. At first it was just a drizzle but then it came down harder.

"Come on Ben let us go in my truck." I suggested. "We are getting wet out here."

"I don't care." He said not looking up.

I guess we were not going anywhere for a while. The rain was mostly coming on me because of the way Ben was snuggled up to me. I did not mind the water but if it came down any harder I was going to force Ben back into my truck. Then the rain started to come down harder. I shook Ben's shoulder to attempt to get him to look up but it did not work. Then I heard, barely though, soft snoring coming from him. Once again he has falling asleep when he snuggled up to me. I just smiled to myself. I did not mind he did this I just wished that he would not do it so often. I picked him up bridal style and carried him to the truck. I did not need to worry about him waking up because he never does. We got to the truck and I put him in the front seat and buckled him up. Then I went to my side and buckled up. I looked at him. He looked so peaceful and did not seem like he was stressed. I ruffled his hair a little bit and smiled.

Yea that's all I can pull out. XD I'm glad to be finally back on track! :D Why is it that I love making someone fall asleep? XD That is so overused… Anyway I want to say that tomorrow's prompt will be up early tomorrow but I know I'll jinx it. XD I have a half day so…yea. I also have 2 study halls…well one since my teacher for one of them is making tomorrow's a class and Thursday a study.
