Ben shook out his hand but didn't say anything. he hardly moved. he didn't want to destroy anything

AJ stared into space for a moment and then left the room, going to their bedroom. She had never felt this violent before, she felt like she needed to yell, or hit something. She didn't do either, just stared out the window. Next time she saw him, she was going to break his nose.

he didn't move for a good ten minutes then he walked to the bathroom and knocked on the door, " AJ?"

She sighed and opened the door. "Hey," she said softly.

"I should have kicked him out a loing time ago. I'm so sorry."

"No i'm sorry that you had to pick a side," she replied.

"I picked yours AJ the first time I asked you out and I shoudln't have wafled."

She nodded. "I just... I want to hit him for saying that stuff," she said, her hands balling into fists.

Ben reached out and took her fisted hands, " I know love." he said

"I don't understand why he has to be so... hurtful," she said softly, feeling so... vulnerable. She hadn't ever felt like this after fighting with him before. "How can he not see that this isn't something cheap or ugly?"

"I don't know." he pulled her into a hug, " because hes a jack ass and he dosen't understand the first ting of life outside of himself."

She hugged him back, her face against his shirt. She didn't know what else to say to that, she was sick of LD.. being his childish self.

"I'm so sorry love," he whispered

"I know," she whispered. "It's not your fault though."

"I should have kicked him out earlier."
