Friends? Or lovers?

Pt.17 bridal style

I cry into Bennys shoulders like I have with lily and Jane.

I hate showing or sharing emotions I've never even looked sad near Benny

But now look at me I'm sitting on the floor in the carnival's bathroom crying into his shoulder while he hugs me tight

"Hey Jane lily thank for all you help u think I have got it from here" Benny says to the girls

"No problem sugar oh and uh here for y/n it's our numbers so she can update us" lily hands Benny a slip of paper and he shoved it into his back pocket

Jane and lily leave so now it's just me and Benny

"Y/n I need to know one thing" he says pulling away from the hug and cupping my face with his hands

"Mhm" I nod

"Who did this" i freeze

*I can't tell him that*

*he'll kill Jake*

*I mean he'd probably beat him bloody with a baseball bat*

*but I need to tell him*

*I mean what if Jake tries to hurt me again*

"Jake" I mumble quietly

"I'm going to kill that little bitch!" Benny says through his teeth

"Benny it's okay really he only got two hits, and I got one straight to the nose" I smile trying to make sure Benny doesn't end up in the news

"Where did he hit you?" He asks sternly

"My nose and he kicked my ribs" I say looking away

"Do you want to stay at my place?" He asks and I just nod slightly

"I can't go home I dcant deal with Phillips and my dad" I tell him

"Okay let's go" instead of supporting me and helping me walk benny picks me up bridal style and I wrap my arms around his neck resting my head on his shoulder/chest

We walk out of the carnival and back to Bennys

I didn't even realize we had gotten to his house until he started waking up the porch steps

"I think you fell alseep on the way" benny says seeing I was more aware now

He opens the door and we walk inside. Benny gently puts me down making sure I can stand and the puts one of my arms around his shoulder. And he puts his left hand around my waist so I don't fall

"Kacy is with Brianna tonight at a sleepover so it's me you and smalls" benny states as we walk to the living room

"Oh, okay I'll just sleep in Kacys room then" I say

"You sure?" He asks setting me down on the couch

"Okay, do you want to talk about what happened?" Benny asks

"Oh, not trying to be mean benny but could you get Katrina I feel a little more comfortable talking about this to girls" I say and he nods and walks out to find Katrina

"What?!?" I hear from another room and then I see Katrina run into the living room panicking

"Oh y/n no what happened?" Katrina asks coming and sitting next to me on the couch

I look between here and benny, as Bennys standing looking out the window leaning against the wall with his arms crossed

"Benny could you give me and y/n a minute?"

"No ma-" she cuts him off

"Benny that was rhetorical!"

He huffs and leaves
