You and Ben have been friends for quite some time now. You were there when he got his voice box damaged by Shane. You were unable to stop him, just watching in shock as your best friend gets his own voice damaged. Now he never speaks since he hates the sound of his own voice.

Present day Ben was walking down the hall, trying to get to his next class. Then he hears the sound of someone being pushed against a locker, then a punch. Then...your cry for help.

Ben immediately goes running to find you. As soon as he does, he punches the guy. His anger issues came back.

As soon as he grabs the guy away from you, you gall to the floor, not unconscious, just very tired from everything.
