Ben sat quietly on the floor next to you, scribbling in his notebook with a placid expression. The others were going to confront your bullies while he sat with you to keep you calm. He would probably lose his mind if he was allowed to go and confront your bully too. He'd just sit next to you and comfort you to the best of his ability.

He held out his notebook and patted your shoulder gently, Sorry you're getting bullied. Ben offered you the pen and tapped another sentence, Want to draw something while we wait? He very softly kissed your cheek and smiled a little awkwardly. He knew what it was like to be bullied, it was awful, he was just grateful you were able to get help, unlike him.

He glanced around the corner where Aiden was talking to your bully and his fist clenched. Ben turned back around and jotted down in his notebook, I'm so sorry about that guy. I would beat him up for you if I could. Ben bounced his leg slightly frowned, his head falling back.

He pulled out his earbuds and phone and offered you both, motioning for you to pick music.
