So, Ben Evie and Mal were in the girl's room.
Mal went to sit on her bed.
Getting thru class and running to the girl's room had totally worn her out.

Evie: "Thanks, Ben."

Ben: "Yeah no problem… "

Before Ben could say something Evie started to pull him towards the door.

Ben: "Hey hey Evie where are you taking me?! I wanted to-"

Evie:" Yeah I know just come with me for a sec."

Ben didn't really have a choice. He didn't want to leave the room but the blue-haired girl was persistent.
And before he knew it he was standing at the end of a hallway.
There was no one around so Ben and Evie could speak without being overheard

B: "What is going on. why did Mal go to class this way? I found her yesterday in the same state.

Evie: So she was with you yesterday?

B: "Yes…But I really don't get it, why is Mal acting so strange Evie? What is going on "

...Evie wasn't sure what to say. Ben was not going to back down.

"Evie?"

"There is no specific reason. It just you know Mal, always busy busy busy. Evie said casually" Lying to protect her Mal

"Evie what is going on?" Ben asked again knowing she wasn't telling him something.

...
E: "Look Ben you wouldn't get it.
Where we come from things are different okay. We were raised to lie, hide, steal, fight. Not just for fun, or for the sake of being evil...For survival too.

B: "What? I- I don't get it.

E: "That's what I mean you wouldn't get it."

B: "So explain it to me!"
"Is being sick on the island bad?"

E: "… Well yes. On the island, you don't' want people to know that you're sick. If people know... you're in trouble."

B: "What for trouble?"

E "Just trouble Ben"

B: "Evie tell me."

Evie her expression changed.

E: "People are going to target you."
"You're weaker, you are at a disadvantage. You're an easy target and easier to take down."
"So people will probebly rob you or if somebody is holding a grudge or wants revenge they will choose that moment to set it. Somebody will pick a fight with you Rumors will go around, status, humiliation, Disappointment from… you know our parents."
"It all come's with being sick."

"That's is just playing dirty! Kicking someone when they're down! that is terrible!" Ben said with anger.

"Well yeah, because playing dirty works..."
And of course, there is the fact that Maleficent is Mal's mother so she had to run from her too when she was sick.

"What, what do you mean?

"Evie sighed, we just...don't get sick days on the Isle Ben. That's how it is.

"I-I can't imagine people would do that to each other. "

"Well, I can.
"Look Mall is probably asleep by now, sooo see you later?

"Hey and what with Mal?!"

"What about Mal? She is probably sleeping right now so nothing I can do. She is safe in our room and can rest. There is water a,d food in our room, so she is all set. Next period is starting, so bye"

"But she is sick?!"

"Yess and I will come back later to check on her. Evie said with a "Duuh" face.
" Hey, Ben if you go back into the room, close the door and don't let people in. Thanks, Ben bye.

And with that Evie left.

Ben could not believe this Mal was really sick and Evie just left... Why does she not take care of her friend? Well, she said that she would come back but that is not how you take care of a very sick person.…
Did those 4 even know how to take care of a sick person?
If everyone on the island hides being sick that means that nobody ever takes care of one another.

Ben couldn't believe what he just heard. But it did explain Mal's behavior. The hiding, being on guard not letting people in.
What was he going to do now...
He decided to go back to Mal's room. And check on the girl.

When Mal woke up she was in her bed. Asch… Damn my head hurts so does my throat I need water.
She got in a sitting position. It was then she heard something. She looked to see what it was. It was blurry at first but the big shape was… Ben.

B: "Hey Mal did you sleep well?"

M: "Ben. What are you doing here?" Mal said with a very hoarse voice.

B: "Remember Evie and I brought you here. Evie is gone but I decided to stay and help if you need anything."

M:"…What? Well Ben I don't really need anything now so you can go." She said with a somewhat angry face.

Her voice was getting rasped and it even sounded a little painful…

B:" Sigh… How about some water yeahh...?" And Ben returned with a glass of water.

How did he know I wanted water? She thought.

B: "And I got some medicine as well for headache and for an upset stomach plus for the fever."

The purple-haired girl was getting frustrated. What is all this? Medication?!

M:" I don't need all this Ben! You can throw those pills away and leave me alone." (and then coughed.)

Ben was surprised by this sudden outburst. So mad just because he got her some medicine? He was just helping her!
But then he thought of what Evie said…

B: "Mal calm down… I understand why you want me to leave." He said in a calm tone.
"And that you don't want my help or any help at all. I get it. You can yell as much as you want,
but I am not planning on leaving you."

Mal was surprised as well, she just said she didn't want help. And yelled at him because he was trying to..., usually, people get mad and would just leave. Especially people in Auradon. But not Ben he was determined on staying.
Even after looking angry and yelling?

Mal was quiet, grabbed the glass of water, and swooped it down. After all, that thinking yelling and emotions floating in her pounding head she got tired, so she laid back down and pulled her blanket over her, and sighed.
Mal was lying faced away… Ben went to sit next to her on the bed. Still, thinking about everything that had happened. No words were being spoken.

Then Mal turned to lay on her other side... Then her one hand slowly slid towards the other man's hand. As soon as Ben felt something soft touching his hand his eyes shot towards the sick girl on the bed. She was reaching for his hand looking him in the eye with clear eyes and blushed cheeks. Probably from her fever. Slowly a smile appeared on Ben's face. He took her hand in his. Then there was a little smile to be found on her face as well. And she decided something for herself. There is only one person who is allowed to see her like this, and that he is sitting on her bed holding her hand… It is just fine…

Okey people I was thinking that this was a good ending. But I kind of liked writing it so I don't know maybe be there can be the next chapter, but I think this is a pretty ending. I hope some enjoyed my story. And again sorry if there are spelling errors :)
