Broken - (Reader X BEN Drowned)

1:59 20

  After a couple minutes of me feeling sorry for myself, I wipe away my previous tears and stand up to face the situation at hand. Dark was still holding me to keep me calm and I thank him before escaping his grasp. He looks at me with confusion now, wanting to know what happened before he came here. I pointed to the game that is now on the floor again. "He got mad at me for touching this." I said to Dark.
"That's his game." He says to me.
"BEN has TONS of games. I know that's his game." I say back to him.
"No. I mean it's HIS game. That's why here is here. BEN Drowned... BEN... Understand?" He tried to explain. I kept shaking my head yes. I got it.
"Well it fell, so all I did was pick it up and put it back in his pillow case." I said.
"Pillow case? So that's where you hide that thing?" Dark says. He seems to me amused by this and holds back his laughter while shaking his head. I hear an angry BEN pounding on the closet door demanding to be let out. He is shouting all kinds of threats to Dark and I. I would be terrified if Dark wasn't here and I am glad he is. Dark starts cracking up laughing at this point and pushes me out the door and into the hallway. He leads me into the kitchen and opens the back door. "Here, you better leave before he starts thinking and uses his little tech nerd powers of his to escape." I try to walk out the door, but there is still an invisible force field. Dark notices this and puts his hand out to feel it.
"Huh.." He says, "It seems to only be keeping you in." He goes completely outside and back in, showing me that I am the only one trapped in the house. "What exactly happened here?"
        I explained everything. Well.. Almost everything. I skipped out on the part where BEN kept kissing me on the bed.
"Oh no... You made a bet with him and he won? So now you're his slave? He kissed you on the cheek signifying that the day starts today?" I kept shaking my head yes the entire time.
"Looks like your trapped here for the entire day.. Sucks for you." Dark says to me while putting his hands on his side.
"He says he has something planned for me at midnight." I tell Dark, hoping that he would have some kind of explanation or answer to anything.
"Beats me. I don't know what Zalgo has planned." He says with sadness in his expression.
        Zalgo. He is the cause off all this, not BEN. I can't let BEN take the blame for all this. If I could only find some way to snap him out of Zalgo's control then I could shake off some time until 2:00 and I can leave! I just need to find something... I need to do something...
"Hey. I would try to help you as much as I can.. But.." Dark says while looking at the ground. "I came by to ask BEN to go on a double date with me. I captured a girl for him, but it looks like he already has a girl now." He says looking me up and down.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"You, {Y/N}." He says with sternness, "Anyways. I can't leave my girl hanging.. Literally.. She's hanging by her feet on a tree I tied her up to so she would wait for me." Dark says while looking away, avoiding my eye contact.
"Be safe {Y/N}." He says while waving to me. He leaves through the back door in the kitchen where I tried to leave earlier. I stand by the door and watch him walk off into the tree's.
"Well.. Looks like I am alone again." I say out loud to no one in particular.
"Not quite." I hear BEN say from behind me.
        'DARK WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LEAVE NOW, IF YOU HAD ONLY STAYED A COUPLE SECONDS LONGER...!' I yell in my head as I turn around to meet a infuriating BEN.
"BEN.. Uh.." 'THINK {Y/N} THINK!',
"So uh.. When did you come out of the closet?" ... Why is it that all the times I need to be serious, I SAY THE MOST STUPIDEST THINGS IN THE WORLD.
        BEN's expression from anger changes to confusion as he cocks his head to the side. I stand still, not wanting to upset him by the slightest move. He slowly walks up to me and looks out the window. "Did Dark leave?" He says in a serious tone.
"Yes." I say, still standing perfectly still even though BEN is right next to me.
        He continues to look out the window and eventually nods. He walks over to the fridge and looks in it for a while and glances back to me. I gather up what courage I had and take a step towards him. He notices it and closes the fridge and turns to face me. "Make lunch." He tells me. I nod as he walks off into the living room. I hear him turn on the television as I open up the fridge to see what's inside. Eggs, milk, cheese, ham, bacon, and juice. Well, looks like we can have omelets for lunch..? It doesn't sound that bad actually considering I hadn't had breakfast... Or slept. Oddly enough though, I am not that tired. More petrified than exhausted actually.
