(Y/N)'s POV:

I'm insane.

I'm absolutely insane.

Am I really doing this?

Have I really been doing this?

How have I gone so long?

I stared at the bottle of Sunny D which was at the other end of the table. I was sat down, scrutinizing it.

For two weeks, I've been Sunny D free. Two weeks.

The bottle mocked me.

It laughed at my nervous tapping, the constant sound of my finger against the smooth mahogany wood of the table.

It looked down upon me, labeling me as weak.

I glared at the bottle.

I was not weak.

"How long has she been like this?" I heard someone whisper from behind me.

"About two hours and thirteen minutes." another voice whispered back.

They weren't important though.

I continued glaring daggers into the bottle when suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder and I jumped out of my chair, landing in a defensive stance.

It was Ben.

I glanced back at the bottle and then at him.

"(Y/N)... you know it was a joke. None of us think you're weak because you have an addiction to Sunny D." He stated.

I narrowed my eyes at him.

He sighed.

"(Y/N), while the fact that you practically live off of Sunny D is extremely unhealthy, it's not necessarily a bad thing that you have a way to deal with stress. You just need to find other ways to deal with your problems. You can't turn to Sunny D all the time. I'm not saying you have to quit it." He explained.

Before I could respond, he engulfed me in a hug and I instantly relaxed a little.

I felt him smile into my shoulder.

"You've got me, you know?" He comforted.

I nodded my head.

"So instead of drowning yourself in Sunny D 24/7, maybe try coming to me every once in a while." He suggested, caressing my head.

"Okay." I mumbled.

We stayed in our position for what felt like forever and eventually we both became tired and decided to go to bed.

Right before I fell asleep, something popped into my head.

"Hey Ben?" I whispered.

"Yeah?" He responded.

I faced him as a wide grin spread across my face.

"Where have you Ben all my life?" I asked, holding back laughter.

He just chuckled and pulled me closer.
