Ben looked at the ground and grabbed ahold of a twig. Shoving the end into the fire, he watched as it burned. "I knew life wouldn't be easier on me, but I thought it would be better for you." he said and looked up at her. "I have always wanted the best for you, that is why I never allowed you to find out about the bulling. I didn't want you to have to worry about me. Then after prom, I tried to talk to you but everything I said pissed you off. So I figured that if you didn't want to be friends with me anymore that would be fine, as long as it made you happy." he said as he watched her. He then noticed it was starting to rain. Picking up the blanket, he stood up and walked over to her. Wrapping it around he he pushed her towards the back of the cave, "it is going to rain badly, don't want you to get sick." he said as he looked at her.
