Secret Love

One Day Down

Ben's POV:
I couldn't believe my dad. Well, I could believe it, because this wasn't new.
I just wish he could just be happy for me that I've fallen in love, and that he'd just want me to be happy. But I guess not.
My mom tried to calm him down, but I guess his anger was stronger.
At least I knew she was happy for me that I had found love, then saddened when she thought I had lost it.
It was hard today; I can't believe it's only been one day.
It felt so much longer. I don't know how I'm gonna make it through the rest of it.
I wonder how much longer we should keep this going.
Well, till my dad sees, I guess. And according to Mal, till Audrey and everyone else sees.
I wonder how many people know about it. That we "broke up", and how they felt about it. Are they shocked? Happy? Saddened? Glad? Disappointed?
I wonder how Mal had done with it today.

Audrey's POV:
I was laying on my bed in my room, trying to do my homework, but I couldn't focus.
Earlier at lunch, Chad and I ate outside today, but a few times I looked in the cafeteria to see what our friends were up to.
Mal and Ben weren't sitting together. I knew something was up.
They were always together. Why weren't they together then, I wondered.
They were sitting on complete opposite sides of the cafeteria.
Then I saw the girls go over and sit with Mal, and the other guys went over and sat with Ben. I wondered if something had happened.
Then, I overheard what they were all talking about.
I heard Mal and Ben say to each of the groups they were sitting with, that they had broken up. I heard them say that it was because of opinions some people have about them being together. Opinions...like me.
They must have overheard me talking to Jane yesterday!
I feel terrible! I didn't want them to break up! To be honest, I like them together. I was just surprised that it had been going on for this long.
Actually, I find it kinda amazing. The way that she's the daughter of the worst villain in the land, and he's the son of the king and queen of the good Auradon.
They couldn't appear more different, but they actually have a lot more in common than what meets the eye. They couldn't fit together more well. They compliment and complete each other so amazingly.
I don't why I didn't see that before, I think when I was dating Ben, I was in love with the idea of him, but not him himself. He didn't love me either.
Not like Mal. Mal loves him for him. And Ben loves her for her. I have never seen two people more in love, and it's really kinda beautiful. How could they lose sight of that just because of me?! Do I really seem that heartless? I feel terrible.
Unless, it's not just me. I think Ben's dad, King Adam/Beast, has always had doubts about the two of them together.
Maybe that's it. I don't know, though. I just wish there was some way for me to let them know that they don't have to worry about me and my opinions, except that I do want them to be together.

Mal's POV:
How has it only been one day? It's felt so much longer than that.
It was so hard not being with Ben. I just wanted to be with him. That's all I want right now.
I wonder how he's been doing with the whole thing today. Maybe I should text him and ask him.
"Hey," I texted.
"Hey," he texted back.
"How has today been for you??," I asked.
"I miss you so muchhh 😫😣😭," he sent.
"I miss you too 😩," I sent back.
"This has been the longest day of my life. It felt like a year :( ," he sent.
He felt the same way. I love him so much.
"I know...same here...," I said.
"I just want to be with you...❤️😭," he said.
"I want to be with you too...but how?? We're supposed to be keeping this a secret...," I said.
"I have an idea...," he said. What did he mean by that?

Okay y'all! Here's another story part; sorry it's kinda short...but I hope you like it! What do you think Ben has in mind??
