Warning self harm is in this chapter.
PREVIOUSLY: Ben learned that Mal had a reputation on the Isle and dated Harry Hook, this caused in a fight between the boys, Mal finds a message telling her to go home, Dizzy develops a crush on Chad, and Mal finds out how Ben feels
"Evie he doesn't trust me." Mal said as she put on a short sleeveless dress. She rummaged through Evie's closet looking for some high heels.
"So your solution is to dress like a hooker." Evie said.
Mal shot Evie daggers. "A classy hooker." The blue haired girl corrected.
"Look Ben is the best thing that happened to me in awhile, so I need to find a way to make him happy. And if that means dressing up like a hooker so be it." Mal said.
Evie frowned. "This is so unlike you. Aren't you the same girl who said you won't change for man."
"Well I guess I'm a big hypocrite!" Mal yelled.
Evie grabbed the daughter of Maleficent and shook her roughly.
"Calm down. What did Ben say?" Evie asked.
"He thinks I don't love him." Mal sighed.
"Do you?" Evie asked.
Mal frowned. "Of course."
"Well if you both love each other then he won't care if you dress like a hooker plus I'm sure he trusts you."
Mal sighed. She hoped Evie was right. Mal looked at her mother/lizard.
"What do you think our parents would say if they saw us now?" Mal asked.
Evie laughed. "Why try and get a guy to fall in love with you when you can poison the competition."
"Or who needs love just kill him and call it day." Mal said in her best Maleficent voice.
Both girls laughed. Their conservation was interrupted by Jane who barged in with a worried expression.
"Evie I need your help." She said.
Evie laughed. "Who dosen't."
"I was going through the outfits you gave and nothing fits me!" Jane cried.
"Jane calm down it's not that big of a deal I'll just get you a new dress." Evie said.
"It's not that, I grew! Carlos is never going to want to date a fat a cow." Jane sobbed.
Evie hugged the girl. "You're not fat and even if you were there's nothing wrong with that. And besides Carlos loves you the way you are."
"And if he doesn't I'll make him prick his finger." Mal said.
Jane laughed. "You're right."
"Jay I'm not taking condoms!" Carlos yelled.
The son of Cruella De Ville wore a white and black tuxedo and sprayed some cologne on.
"Hey don't come running to me when you and Jane are in the middle of it and realize you don't have protection." Jay said.
Carlos rolled his eyes at this. "So what do you have planned for tonight?"
"Well Sydney White and Annalise are going to 'tutor' me." Jay smirked.
Carlos already knew what 'tutoring' meant.
"Have fun with that." Carlos said.
"Oh I will." Jay smirked
A knock was heard on the boys door and Jay walked over to answer it.
"Hey Jay." Lonnie said.
Lonnie smiled. Jay didn't know why but that smile just warmed him up in inside.
"Are you ready?" She asked.
Jay frowned. "Ready for what?"
"Remember we were going to that music concert." Lonnie said.
Jay gulped. And as soon as he remembered she realized the same thing.
"You forgot didn't you." Lonnie frowned.
"Yeah. Lonnie I'm so-"
"Don't worry about. It's not like it was a date or anything." She said.
"Um yeah totally. So um, see you around?" Jay said uncertainly.
Lonnie forced a smile and closed the door. Both of them leaned on the door and sighed. They sank down to the ground upset they couldn't tell each other what the other was feeling.
Carlos saw Jay's sad face and frowned. "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing." Jay said.
He slammed the bathroom door and sighed. Suddenly he wasn't in the mood for his 'tutoring' session.
The carriage ride to Lumiere's Home was silent. A couple of times Ben and Mal tried to make conversation however it failed. Mal sensed Ben was being distant and didn't like it.
"Ben are you mad at me?" Mal asked.
"Of course not Mal. Why would I be mad at you." Ben lied.
"It's just you've been quiet and distant." Mal said.
Ben smiled and kissed her. "There's nothing wrong. I'm just thinking."
"Good thoughts I hope." Mal said as she ran her fingers through Ben's brown hair.
"Of course." He smiled.
The two forced a smile hoping the other didn't notice. The two soon arrived at the restaurant and were faced with even more silence. As they were about to order they heard Chad yell.
"Ben and Mal, hey!" He said.
He walked up to them with Audrey in his arm. Mal and Audrey shot daggers at each other. Audrey felt her heart hurt as she saw Mal and Ben on their date. She still loved Ben and Mal knew this.
"Hey Chad I see you guys had the same idea we did." Ben said.
"Sure did. Hey since you're here why don't we double date." Chad suggested.
"No." Mal said bluntly.
"I don't think it's a good idea either." Audrey protested.
"I think that's a great idea Chad." Ben smiled.
The King was oblivious to tension between the two girls. As Chad and Audrey sat down they got rid of the awkward silence between Mal and Ben. Mostly because Chad figured out a way to make every subject about him. Mal shivered in the cold. Ben saw this and took of his jacket and gave it to her.
She smiled and snuggled closely to him. Audrey saw this and her face fell. She quickly decided to change the subject.
"So Mal I'm so sorry about what happened to your room. Evie told me." Audrey said.
Ben frowned. It was obvious he didn't know about this. Audrey couldn't help but smirk. Mal mouthed the words 'shut up'.
"What happened to your room." Ben asked.
"Just some morons with a bad attitude and a can of spray paint." Mal said.
"Is it true that they left a dead animal in your room?" Audrey asked.
Mal hissed at Audrey. "Audrey shut the hell up."
Chad frowned and put his arm around Audrey. "Don't talk to her like that."
"Mal why didn't you tell me? Not only am I the king but I'm your boyfriend." Ben said.
"Ben I can handle myself." Mal said.
"But I'm your boyfriend you should be able to talk to me about your problems." Ben said.
"Like you talk to me?" Mal snapped. "I heard you talking to Fairy Godmother. Why don't you trust me?"
The couple continued to argue as Audrey and Chad decided to slip away.
Evie and Doug walked through the hallway approaching Dizzy's room.
"Just let me see how Dizzy is doing than we can go on our date." Evie said.
She opened the door to find the little girl crying. Evie felt her instincts kick in and ran over to check on the girl.
"Dizzy what's wrong?" Evie said.
Dizzy sobbed and pointed to her window someone smashed a brick through it. However that was not the unsettling part. Evie saw a note attached to the brick, it read: You Will Never Be Welcomed here.
Evie sighed as Dizzy rested her head in Evie's lap. Evie held the girl as she cried into her dress. Doug opened the door and saw the whole scene and frowned. Evie looked up at her boyfriend and mouthed the words raincheck.
"Mal you can't keep shutting me out." Ben said.
"Watch me!" Mal yelled.
"I bet if I was a VK you would listen to me." Ben hissed.
It was uncharacteristic for him to yell. Especially at Mal. He loved her.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Mal asked.
"I know about you and Harry. And apparently there's more boys on the Isle. Why did you tell me you wanted to wait if you've been sleeping with them?" Ben asked.
"So this is what it's all about. You think I'm a whore." Mal said.
"I never said that!" Ben shouted.
Mal screamed. "But you thought it! Thank you Ben. Thank you so much for reminding that I'll always be that trashy girl from the Isle."
"Mal wait." Ben said.
He reached out to grab the purple haired girl but she was too quick. She made her way outside and she passed Audrey who stopped her.
"I knew you weren't good enough for Ben. Nobody wants you here Isle Slut." Audrey hissed.
"Audrey stay the hell away from me, and there's a reason why Ben's with me it's because he doesn't love you're not good enough."Mal snapped.
Audrey gasped and in anger threw her drink at Mal. Mal flinched slightly however she leapt right into action. She punched Audrey right in the face and sent her flying. Audrey screamed in pain.
"You think some water scares me? I'm from the Isle bitch!" Mal said.
Before they knew it the two girls were on the ground fighting to the death. Mal continued to punch Audrey while Audrey pulled her hair. Ben and Chad rushed over to separate the two. Ben roughly pulled Mal away and looked at her. She sighed and wiped away a tear.
"Ben this is who I really am." Mal said.
The purple haired girl ran off before Ben could object.
Carlos sighed as he opened his bedroom door. He saw Jay punching a punching bag. Carlos could feel the anger coming off him. Jay was like his brother and he could tell if he was angry.
"What's wrong with you?" Carlos asked.
"Nothing everything is all fine and dandy." Jay growled as he delivered all his strength into the punching bag.
"Is this about Lonnie?" Carlos asked.
Jay screamed as he kicked the punching bag. The chain snapped and the bag fell to the floor.
"Jay just tell her how you feel." Carlos said.
"Carlos I love you dude, but you need to shut the hell up. Besides aren't you supposed to be on a date with Jane." Jay said.
"She stood me up. She's not answering any of her texts." Carlos sighed.
"Maybe the thought of being on a date with you was so repulsive she became sick." Jay joked.
"Thank you for that Jay." Carlos said sarcastically.
"Anytime." Jay smirked.
Audrey groaned as she took some aspirin. She heard Chad talking in the background. She didn't care enough to figure out what he was saying. The throbbing headache Mal gave her made her made her unable to think about anything.
"Audrey do you love me?" Chad said out of nowhere.
Audrey frowned. The correct answer, no. Her heart belonged to Ben.
"Yes." She lied.
"I know you're lying. You're just using me to get back at Ben." Chad sighed. "I know how people talk about me. The dumb son of Cinderella. But when you asked me out I was so happy. I've had a crush on you since kindergarten." Chad said.
Audrey was shocked. She didn't know any of this.
"Audrey do you love me. Tell me the truth." He said.
"No I'm sorry." Audrey said.
"Do you at least like me?" Chad asked.
Audrey shook her head sadly. "Chad listen-"
"I should go." He said.
He grabbed the door and walked out. Audrey sighed. She was all alone. She felt a single tear drip down her cheek. She quickly wiped it away.
"So everyone knows the plan." Uma said to Gil and Harry.
"Yes. I obviously know the plan, but since some of us may not you should say it for their sake." Gil said.
Uma rolled her eyes. "Gil do you know what the plan is?"
Gil shook his head causing Harry to roll his eyes and snort.
"You're so lucky you're pretty." Harry said.
"Okay Ben invited us here because he trusts us. We need to use that to our advantage" Uma smiled.
"We try to blend in and when he least expects it were going to take his crown. Auradon shall be mine!" Uma yelled
Gil clapped his hands. "I like that plan."
Jane stood alone in her room crying. She looked in the mirror and couldn't help but feel unhappy with herself. She was hideous, no one would love her. She grabbed a vase and three it to the wall. She screamed. Her eyes slowly drifted towards shards of glass. Before she could process what she was doing she grabbed a shard and placed it to her wrist. She dug it into her skin causing her to scream. The clear glass was stained with red. She cried as she pulled it out. She deserved this.
Jay sighed as he approached Lonnie's room. He was going to tell her how he felt. Just as he was about to think of something' to say he stopped dead in his tracks. He saw Lonnie kissing a tall boy. Jay felt his stomach drop to the floor. He growled and turned away walking fast before she noticed him. It was stupid to think she cared about. It was stupid to put his heart out there.
Harry was in his room when he heard a knock. He got up and opened the door. Standing there was Mal. Harry put on his usual smirk.
"Well, well I see you finally decided to pay me a visit." Harry smiled as he ran his hook through her purple hair.
Mal smiled. "Well I figured you were pretty lonely."
"How would Ben feel about this?" Harry taunted.
Mal smirked as she unzipped her jacket to reveal her cleavage. "Do you want to talk about Ben, or do you want to have some fun?" Harry smirked as Mall walked in. Little did they know someone was watching them.
NEXT TIME: Mal continues to see Harry in secret, Doug deals with bullying, Uma, Gil, and Harry try to fit in, Carlos worries about Jane
