Lilly's POV

This last few days have been pretty amazing. I got to hang out with all of my favorite people. Betsy, Steph, Josh and obviously Ben. Still, I can't help but note his strange behavior. It's like he's been walking on eggshells around me. Somethings seriously off. I have two more days left until Betsy and I take off. I'm definitely going to corner Ben before then. Will something go wrong? Probably. But, I need to fix this. This is such a bad idea. Fork it, we're gone talk.

I'm currently going over some Frozen materials when I decide I need to do something. As I stated above, 'fork it'.

"Hey Ben?" I call, hoping the dork will hear me.

"Yeah?" He's currently in the hotel room's kitchen while I'm in the bedroom.

"We need to talk."

"Fuck."

"Hey! Watch your language!" And with that remark, he emerges.

A wild Ben appears! I can:

-confront

-slowly ease information out of him

-just drop the topic

You choose confront! It's very effective!

"So, Lil, whats up?" He looks nervous, almost guilty even. ohhhhhh this was such a bad idea. I am so going to regret this.

"Listen, somethings up. I don't know whats going through that pretty little head of yours but, somethings wrong and you need to tell me. Whats. going. on."

"Nothings wro-""Bullshit.  Something is definitely wrong. You're watching what you say, you turned as pale as a ghost at that diner and you called Steph the first night I was here sounding very distraught. Talk to me." I moved my hand on top of his."I'm your girlfriend we're supposed to talk about things. We have to work things out. Thats how relationships work. You signed up for this. So tell me, what the hell is wrong with you?"

"You'll think it's stupid."
"No I won't."
"Yes you will."
"No I won't."
"Yes you wi-" "Okay stop that, you're trying to change the subject. I promise you that I won't judge you, okay?" I flash him a sympathetic smile.
"Okay." He takes a deep breath.
"So, uh, when you left, I was lonely and I missed you. A lot. Um, you kept talking about this other guy, and I don't know, I was just, uh, jealous? Nervous? I was lots of things. I was-I still am, afraid I'm gonna lose you. We have such a good thing going and I'm terrified constantly. You're just such a fucking catch and any guy- or girl- or really anyone, would be so fucking lucky to have you. I don't want to screw this up and I just know I will." So maybe this didn't go as badly as I thought. I just need to reassure Ben that he's the only man I'm seeing. Hopefully, I can conjure up some inspirational speech. Hopefully.

"Ben, look at me. You are the best and only boyfriend I've ever had. I'm way too in love with you to even consider flirting with another guy! You have no reason to doubt yourself, especially with me. I would never, ever cheat on you. And if you ever feel like this again, talk to me. I promise, everything will be alright. Okay?"
"Okay." And with that, we're both smiling. I'm glad he actually talked to me.
Silence
I start a new conversation with,"I have an idea."
"And what's that?"
"Let's go out, to the movies or something!"
Ben looked up at me with puppy eyes, "can we see the new Star Wars?"
I gasped."Is that even a question!! let's go! Now get out of your mopey clothes and change into something normal at least."
He stuck his tongue out, "fine."
While waiting for my dork to get ready, I hear his all familiar ring tone.
"Ben, someone's calling you!"
"Can you answer for me?"
"Sure!" I call back. Wait, who the hell is Giana?
"um. Hello?"
"Heyyyy Ben, I heard your girlfriend was back in town. Sorry our time was cut short. As soon as she leaves, you'll tell me okay?"
"I'm sorry but who the fuck are you?"
"Who are you?"
"Lilly. Ben's girlfriend."
"Shit. Well, I hate to be the one to tell you but, Ben and I have this sorta thing going."
What
the
fuck??
"For how long?"
I really hope it's when we weren't together.
"The past couple months."
"No, he wouldn't! I don't believe you."
"Well you should. Uterus's before Duderus's. Would I lie to someone, I don't even know?"
"I don't know, would you?"
"No. That's a waste of my efforts. I suggest you speak to your man, get his story, if you suspicions, I can give you my side. I mean, you know where to get my number."
"Y-yeah I'll talk to him.... I-I guess."
"Good for you!"
Bitch
"Well I have to skedaddle. See ya!"
And right on time, Ben walks in the room.
"So babe, who called?"
"Giana"
