Back down there, Darius and I were just guessing Ben's problem.
Me: You are insecure about your headband.
Ben: Nope.
Darius: Out of hand sanitizer?
Ben: [scoffs] Never.
Me: You have a phobia of some sort, acrophobia.
Ben: No.
Darius: Auto phobia?
Ben: What's that?
Darius: I think it's being afraid of being alone.
Me: Isn't everyone?
Darius: Right. But whatever it is, I'm sure we can help.
Ben: No you can't! Not every problem has a solution!
Me: Yes it does.
Ben: Not this one.
Me: Well if you tell us what it is we can figure it out!
Darius: You have carbon issues. You're out of clean underwear.
Ben had enough. He let it out.
Ben: I don't wanna leave Bumpy again, okay? That's my problem!
Me: Oh.
Darius: Well, you don't have to leave Bumpy. We'll build a bigger raft.
Ben: Darius, we've been through this. She will never fit on a raft. I have to leave her here. There's no other way. When I saw her back at camp, I realized it was a mistake leaving here. She's always been there for me. And I just abandon her? I can't do it again. I just can't.
Me: Ben, Bumpy will be okay without you.
Ben: Of course she will. She's a survivor, it's just that...I don't know if I'll be okay. I appreciate what you're trying to do, you guys, but some things...just can't be fixed.
Darius and I looked at each other, then down, hopeless that we couldn't help our friend.

HorrorThis is basically season 3, but in my version. Again, like the season 5, I included myself. More Darlynn. And also, this story is in my perspective.
