xxxxI came to tell you that you're my favorite girl
xxxxxxxxxand would you like it if I put you into my world?
 Okay...so there was no way to fix this. He'd have to accept that and move on, right? There was nothing else he could do to help Bella or Blair or himself. Nate and Nick would have to either accept the supposed loves of their lives and move on, or let this destroy them. It was their choice, and obviously they preferred to feel sorry for themselves over trying to be mature. But what did Ben know about maturity? Here he was, drinking, beat up, having impregnanted one girl, nearly sleeping with another, all the while when he was in a supposed committed relationship. Maturity was obviously not a word in his vocabulary. Ben only put down his bottle of vodka long enough to type out a drunken response to Bella.
you said it yourself.
its what I do best.
I should go down in some ******** world record, right? I think so.
I find you kind of sexy.
and clingy isn't my type. not in the least. the opposite is my type.
she's supposed to be here soon to 'talk'. that can't be good, right?
whatever. I'm over it. drinking before noon helps.

And...speak of the Devil. Ben's green eyes flitted to the door as it opened, Blair walking in, her eyes red from what he hoped was crying and not pot. He just wanted to hug her, tell her it was all going to be okay, make her teary expression smile. But her sad face quickly turned to disgust and shock. Oh, so Bella didn't tell her. Great. Now he had that lovely responsibility. "Your ex boyfriend," he said, lifting a hand to his face to see if he was still bleeding. Oh. He should probably take care of that. "Nate, not Nick," he clarified. "Though, is Nick your ex? He was very vague when we spoke," Ben said with a shrug, standing up from the bed where he was still seated. "Did you tell him the kid is mine?" he asked, looking down at Blair as he passed her on the way to the bathroom. He flipped the faucet on, glancing out towards where she still stood. "Because he knew, and I must tell you Blair, you sure know how to pick the chivalrous type. He didn't even take a swing at me..." he trailed off, cupping his shaking hands under the stream of water. "Well, not physically at least," he added on.
He bent his neck down, splashing water onto his face, the blood dying the clear liquid a lovely shade of red. Closing his eyes, he gripped the edges of the sink, feeling his entire body start to sway slightly against his will, his head light and dizzy. "Unlike Nate," he said, hoping that if he just kept talking, she wouldn't have time to react. No more lies, right? "Because when he caught me with Bella, he didn't hesitate to beat the living s**t out of me," he explained, as if she couldn't tell what Nate's reaction was, reaching blindly for a handtowel, his hand finding one. He dried off his face, the blood instantly staining the white towel. Holding the towel to his bleeding nose, he walked back out towards Blair, eyeing her warily as he waited for her reaction. Whatever it was, it wasn't going to be good.
"But besides that, what is it you wanted to talk about?" he asked her, sitting back down on the bed out of fear that his legs would crumble if he continued to stand. "I'd offer you a drink, but I know that mothers aren't supposed to consume alcohol," he added on, gesturing towards the collection of minibar bottles of booze he had piled onto his bed. He stared up at her out of the eye that was still managing to focus...his left eye was beginning to swell, making almost all vision out of it nearly impossible. Unfortunately, he had been too lazy this morning to find an ice machine to get ice, so trying to stop the swelling was impossible. It wouldn't work anyway...no matter what he did, he'd wake up with probably a double pair of black eyes tomorrow morning.
Hopefully that was something else that Bella would find sexy.
