The show had just ended and you were backstage watching your next dance choreography video. The choreography to this dance was much more complicated than the others you had done which meant that your dance teacher thought you were improving. You were halfway through the video when Ben walked in with Kara. "Hey whatcha doing Ally?" he asked while trying to look at your computer screen.

"I'm just watching the video to my new dance choreography" you said while showing him the video. "Hey I'm gonna change so will the two of you kindly leave please?" Kara asked. You got up and left the dressing room, Ben following you.

"Wow that looks complicated" he said. You smiled and said "yeah it is which is a really good thing" while closing your laptop. "And it's a good thing how?" he said with a chuckle. You rolled your eyes and said "because...it means my teacher thinks I'm getting better" while getting up off the floor.

He took your hand and helped you up off the ground. "Thanks" you said. He smiled nervously and said "Hey so I was thinking that maybe you could possibly consider going out on a date with me next friday? It's totally fine if you don't want to I was just thinking-" you cut him off by kissing him softly.

The two of you smiled into the kiss. "So is that a?" he said. "It's a yes Fankhauser" you said before walking away from him. He laughed and yelled "Yes!" which made you smile.

****TRIGGER WARNING FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT**** (no details but still)

You walked into Karas dressing room to pack your things up when some guy followed you in and locked the door. "hi?" you said while turning around. "Hey Allison right?" he said.

"Yeah um you know the doors aren't allowed to be locked right?" you said as your heart started racing. "Yeah I know. You're really gorgeous you know?" he said getting closer to you. He bit his lip and smirked at you. You tried to walk away but Karas table blocked your exit.

"I'm Jackson I work in photography for the show" he said. "Was I supposed to care?" you replied sassily. He chuckled and said "We have a little bit of time". You looked at him in confusion "Time for what?"

He unbuckled his jeans and put his hands on your waist. Your heart was racing but you couldn't move. He slipped his hand into your leggings and started pulling them down. You screamed loudly hoping someone would hear you. You kept screaming. "Shhh it'll all be over soon" he kissed you aggresively. You bit his lip hard. He winced in pain letting you free.

There was some pounding on the door.

"Ally? Are you in there?" you heard Tommy and Andrew say from outside. You ran away from Jackson and unlocked the door in tears. "Ally you okay?" Tommy asked while staring at the rip in your leggings.

"No- i- I have to go" you said while grabbing your bag and running out of the theater in tears.

"Ally you okay?" you asked while looking at the rip in her leggings. Tears filled her eyes as she said "no i- I have to go". She ran out of the theater as fast as she could. Andrew walked in to Karas dressing room where Jackson the photographer for the show was standing zipping up his jeans.

Anger filled your body Ally was one of your friends and this son of a bitch hurt her. "What the hell did you do to her!" you and Andrew yelled while cornering him. "What? She was asking for it" he said while straightening his clothes.

You chuckled and said "Did she specifically say to r*ape her!?" "Well no but-" he started to say before Andrew cut him off. "Well then she didn't fucking ask for it you asshole!"

"Hey hey! What is going on here!?" the director asked angrily. "This jackass tried raping Karas sister!" you and Andrew said at the same time. "What no I didn't!" he said.

"The three of you in my office now!" he yelled. Kara was standing in the doorway. "Who tried raping Ally?" she said her voice breaking.

her apartment 7: 34

You cried on your apartment floor for a couple minutes before walking into your bathroom wanting to scrub away this awful day. You sat in the shower and cried on the floor. You changed into different clothes and threw the ones you were wearing when the incident happened away.

Fankhauser: Are you okay? I heard what happened. I'm so so sorry Ally.

Ally: I'm fine. How did you find out?? Does Kara know?? and it's fine.

Fankhauser: I'm glad you're okay. Tommy and Andrew almost beat the crap out of him.
I think Kara knows but I'm not sure. And it's not fine I should've been there with you.

Ally: It's fine you needed to go change. If you see Kara can you tell her that I just want to
be alone right now?

Fankhauser: Of course. I cancelled our date because I'm assuming you don't want to go
out after what happened.

Ally: Thanks Ben :)

Fankhauser: he got fired by the way. So you can come back to the theater tomorrow if you
want

Ally: Okay bye Ben

Fankhauser: Bye Ally

Ben was possibly the most sweetest guy ever. He seemed to really care about you so you felt bad about cancelling your date but you really didn't want to be around anyone at the moment...well at least not yet.

Ally: Hey Fankhauser?

Fankhauser: Yes Ally?

Ally: Don't cancel that date just yet.

Fankhauser: Okay Ally :)

Ally: Maybe we can go out tomorrow before our actual real date?

Fankhauser: What time?

Ally: Well when are you free?

Fankhauser: I'm free all day. Tomorrows my day off. Wow I sound so boring.

Ally: You don't sound boring Benny boy

Fankhauser: Ooh a new nickname?

Ally: Well yeah we're friends now i guess

Fankhauser: Hey it's Andrew sorry about what happened but I wanted to let you know
that Ben is smiling so hard at his phone right now. He's also giggling like a little girl.
Hey I'm back sorry about Andrew.

Ally: it's okay I think it's cute

Fankhauser: It's Andrew again! Ben is currently smiling so hard he's in actual pain.
He really really likes you hun

Ally: haha okay well tell him tomorrow at 7 and heres my address

Fankhauser: he said he's really excited and btw he's like actually in love with you.
I've never seen him like this.

Ally: Aww that's cute tell him I'm also excited and that I said bye

Fankhauser: He said bye

You smiled at your phone as you reread the texts almost forgetting what happened earlier that day.

Hi so I know this chapter sucked and was kind of all over the place sorry about that. But Ben and Ally seem to be hitting it off yay!
