Songfic #8

Song: The Words

Artist: Christina Perri

Pairing: Benny/Erica


For the past few weeks, Erica and Benny had been dating each other. The two where very happy together. Or so they thought. You see, during their whole time dating, neither one has yet to say 'I love you' to one another. Until today that is, Benny had just walked Erica to her last class of the day.

"See ya later, babe! Love you!"said Benny after placing a peck on Erica's cheek.

Erica went stiff when she heard those words. "W-w-what did you just say to me?"she stuttered nervously to him, while having a stunned look.

Benny looked at her in confusion. "See ya later, babe?"he repeated slowly, but this time it came out as more of a question.

Erica furiously shook her head from side to side. "No! After that."she replied, correcting him.

"I love you?"he answered slowly again, not sure why it seemed like she was freaking out about it. That's what couples do! They tell each other that they love each other.

"I was afraid that's what you'd said."she mumbled to herself with a sigh, quietly hoping that Benny didn't hear, but he did.

"What? You make it sound like saying those words are a bad thing, Erica?"said Benny, a bit surprised by Erica's reaction to those three little words.

"They're not! It's just...I thought that we agreed to take things slow and see where things go before saying those words to each other?"Erica said to him meekly.

"Well...yeah! We did! But Erica, we've been dating for four weeks now! I'm pretty sure that's plenty enough time to figure out where this relationship is going. And I've realized for days now that I'm in love with you, Erica. And I thought that it's time that I finally tell you that." he stated to her. "Why? Don't you feel the same way about me?"asked Benny. He knew that she did feel the same way, but he just wanted to hear her say it to make it official.

Erica didn't say anything. Instead she just stood there in silence, looking down with sad eyes. "I'm sorry, Benny. I just can't say it."she said meekly. "I gotta go. Bye."she said to him quietly, turning around and walking into the classroom. Benny just stood there, staring at the closed door that Erica had just walked through. He couldn't believe that she couldn't say it. She couldn't tell him that she loves him too. All kinds of emotions were going through Benny at the moment like anger, disappointment, saddness, but the main one was hurt. The bell rang and he silently just turned around and walked away, a tear falling from his eye.

School was over and Benny was up in his room, sulking. The weather seemed to match his mood as well, as it was now raining outside. He let out a depressed sigh. He couldn't believe her. How hard is it to tell your boyfriend of four weeks that you love him? Not that hard, but for Erica apparently it was. Was it him? Did she only date him out of pity? Or did she even really love him at all? Benny quickly shook those thoughts out of his head. "No! I know that she loves me! I can see it in her eyes, but...why can't she just come on out and say it? I know that it can be scary to give your heart to someone at first only for it to be at the risk of getting broken, but I would never hurt Erica like that. I just wish she would realize that."thought Benny, looking out his window and watching as the rain fell down, making the world seem all dreary and depressing like.

All of the lights land on you

The rest of the world fades from view

And all of the love I see

Please please say you feel it too

And all of the noise I hear inside

Restless and loud, unspoken and wild

And all that you need to say

To make it all go away

Is that you feel the same way too

And I know

The scariest part is letting go

'Cause love is a ghost you can't control

I promise you the truth can't hurt us now

So let the words slip out of your mouth

Benny then got up and walked over to his nightstand to check his phone to see if Erica had called or texted him, but nothing. He sighed heavily and tossed the phone back onto the stand and then plopped down on his bed, staring up at the ceiling with his hands behind his head. He sighed again and then closed his, imagining all of the things that had led up to him asking Erica out again for like the eight millionth time and her finally accepting to go out on a date with him.

And all of the steps that led me to you

And all of the hell I had to walk through

But I wouldn't trade a day for the chance to say

My love, I'm in love with you

And I know

The scariest part is letting go

'Cause love is a ghost you can't control

I promise you the truth can't hurt us now

So let the words slip out of your mouth

He then opened his eyes and looked over towards his nightstand, looking at the photo of him and Erica at the town's Spring Festival, together. That was their first date together and thanks to a certain spell that his grandma showed him, Erica or any other vampire who's picture was taken, can now show up on his cell phone. He wanted to be able to capture the moment together with her. Then his thoughts dirfted to what had happened earlier today. Replaying over and over again in his brain.

I know that we're both afraid

We both made the same mistakes

An open heart is an open wound to you

And in the wind of a heavy choice

Love has a quiet voice

Still you mind, now I'm yours to choose

And I know

The scariest part is letting go

Let my love be the light that guides you home

Just then Benny heard his grandmother calling for him, saying that there's someone at the door for him. He let out a groan, thinking that it's probably Ethan. Even though he told him about what had happened with Erica and how that he wasn't up for coming over today for video games like usual. All he wanted to do was just spend sometime to himself for awhile. He thought that Ethan understood, but apparently not. He called back to his grandmother that he was coming and sat up and placed the photo back on his nightstand and got up and walked out.

When got downstairs and finally saw who it was, he was surprised. It wasn't Ethan like he thought, but instead it was Erica.

"Erica?! What are you doing here?"he asked her in a surprised tone.

Erica gave him a kind smile and had an apologetic look on her. "Hi, Benny."she greeted quietly with a small blush on her face. "I'm here because I wanted to apologize for what happened earlier today. I was being stupid and selfish and so insecure with myself. I don't know what I was thinking. I guess that I was just afraid to give my heart to you. Afraid that you might one day just decide to leave me because of who I am and how I act and because of what I am. Truth be told, I never really dated anybody because of love before. I've never really felt that way towards anyone. Usually, I'm the one who's doing the heartbreaking, just to avoid my own heart from getting broken."she paused in her explanation, looking Benny in his eyes. Tears threaten to fall from her eyes now.

"But now I finally realized it! That all those insecurities and feelings that I felt always seemed to lead me to one conclusion. And that conclusion is that all this time...I do love you back. I really do! I'm so sorry Benny! Please tell me that I didn't ruin what we had together because of my stupid mistake earlier today."cried Erica. Benny just stood there, shocked. "Benny? Say something?"sniffled Erica. Benny then suddenly placed both of his hands on the side of Erica's head and brought her in for a passionate filled kiss. Erica kissed back, deeping it. When they broke the kiss, Benny placed his forehead against Erica's and flashed her a big loving smile her way. Erica returned the smile back.

And I know

The scariest part is letting go

'Cause love is a ghost you can't control

I promise you the truth can't hurt us now

So let the words slip out ot your mouth

"I love you."said Benny softly to her.

"I love you too, Benny Weir."she repeated in the same tone. And they both kissed again.
