____3rd's pov___
You were taken back to reality by Ashlyn saying the older male's name.
"Mr Thomas?"- Ashlyn
"Oh right, thank you."- Mr Thomas
"Hurry up"- Tyler
"How about you shut up?"- Ashlyn
You then look at Mr Thomas suspiciously...
"Is he a perv-"- you
"Y/N come on!"- Taylor
"Oh ya coming.."- you
_______________
"Am I seeing this right?"- Tyler crossed his arms as everyone stared at Ashlyn's shadow reflection on the table. The reflection had short hair without braids.
"Yup what happened in the so-called shadow dimension stays there"- you
Aiden then took Ashlyn's right braid and said
"Woah that's pretty rad-" Aiden
"Let go before I break your arm"- Ashlyn
"Ha... another mystery"- Taylor
You then spotted Lucas and waved for him to join, but there was no sign of Feona.
"You guys wanna see something cool?"- you
"Sure"- Taylor
You then dragged Lucas and showed them Lucas's hand.... which only had 4 fingers...
Everyone watched in horror as Lucas's sweat dropped.
"W... what happened to your ring finger ?"- Logan
"Oh it accidentally got chopped off when I was 15.."- Lucas
"Ashlyn's shadow reflection might have something to do with why injuries from the phantom dimension don't transfer to the human dimension"- Logan
"Lucky I can still get married to a beautiful lady"-Lucas says dramatically
"Lucas you gay"- you
Everyone then turned dumbfounded
"Wait...WHAT!!"-Taylor
"Y/N WHAT THE HELL"-Lucas
"Wait so you're gay?"- Tyler
"NO I'M bi-polar..."- Lucas
"HA... GAY BO"- Taylor
"Okay anyways.."- Ashlyn
"And what happened to you guys?"- Ashlyn
Everyone's attention then was set on Aiden and Ben.
"Ah. Right that"- Aiden
"Ya Sure you want me to tell em?"- Aiden
Ben then fell silent and started to type something on his phone...
After a few seconds, he put the message on auto-read so we could hear him in a way..
"It's best have these types of things open if we're going to be a team"
"'These types of things'?"- Taylor says as everyone looked at Ben with confusion..but you had a feeling.. you knew
God please no
Does he mean
That's why he looked like that
Like me
No...
"But I'm putting my earbuds until Aiden's done"
"Ight well, that's that then"- Aiden
"He's right though it's probably best to let y'all know before you accidentally set him off or something"-Aiden
"...set him off?"- Ashlyn
"Yup,...but"- Aiden
"This conversation doesn't go out this group"- Aiden says in a chilled vibe and atmosphere
"Understood?"- Aiden
".. okay"- everyone except Tyler
"Don't tell me what to -" - Tyler
Tyler was cut short by Taylor pinching his arms and you smacking him in the head..
"OW!"- Tyler
Both you and Taylor glare at him
"Fine."- Tyler
"I don't think any of you has realized but Ben has anger issues like extreme haha"- Aiden
"Much worse than the half-wit over there"- Aiden
You glance at Tyler who was glaring at Aiden
"And.."
"..The reason has to do with why he doesn't speak"- Aiden
Aiden proceeded to explain that Ben was in sixth or seventh grade when he was bullied for his love of singing. A boy named Shane offered to "fix" Ben, but Ben refused, which led to Shane attacking him. Unfortunately, Shane didn't stop there and took the bullying too far.
"Shane strangled Ben.."
Everyone then was speechless, eyes widened but for you you were horrified.. there were more people like them.... You knew him... Shane... The same person as the description...
He bullied other people too
Calm down y/m
He's not here
He's in Japan now...
Right...
Even though Bianca is here there's no way.....
Bianca just wanted to make my life a living hell after the incident with any cost but Shane...
I hated them both
You were too caught up with your thinking you could not listen to a word of what Aiden was saying, your heart beating fast.. too fast you felt horrible.. you could only hear Aiden say.. something about.. only to damage his voice box..... singing was important to him.... depression turn into rage..... fighting... revenge...a gang crashing Ben's house....
So that's what happened huh...
I don't know which is worst mine or his...
Mine is just filled with disgust and revenge
I don't know what to think anymore
Should I tell them..
No..
They'll hate me ...
They'll think I'm disgusting
That I'm useless
That I'm......
Useless
You then came back to reality by Lucas putting his hand on your shoulder..
You then look at the table, Ben didn't have his earbuds so the conversation was over...
"Alright let's move on then-"- Ashlyn
"Thanks Ben"- Taylor
"For letting for letting Aiden share that with us, I mean"- Taylor
"You don't even know us that well , but you felt like we need to know like a team. I'm sure it wasn't easy "- Taylor
"So I wanted to let you know you that it was appreciated"- Taylor
"Ah sorry ashlyn-"- Taylor
You then stood up and excuses your self to the restroom...
"I need to go to the restroom really quick.."- you
"Oh okay then "- Taylor
You then quickly walked away as you could feel Tyler looking at you..
