'What is wrong with you?" Ella shouted as Ty's fist came into contact with the living room wall. 

He didn't say a word, instead he just looked at the wall as if he was about to murder someone. "You don't fucking know the full story." He snapped. 

"No, I know what-"

Ty interrupted her, "Oh you think you know, do you?" He said with a wicked sounding laugh. "You don't even know half of what that bastard did." 

Ella tilted her head, completely confused. She opened her mouth to speak but Ty beat her to it. "Benjamin," He spit out his name like it was bitter liquid. "Will never admit to this, but Melody dealt with depression almost all her life. That bastard knew, I know he knew, but he just didn't understand it. You see, he tends to act as if nothing is wrong if he fails to understand it. He is a know it all." 

Ty sighed as he ran his hands through his hair, exhausted as he recalled what happened. "But I understood, at least I tried to. God, I tried. But I could tell that it was killing her and it fucking did."

He laughed dryly to himself. "She fucking used me though. I guess everyone has their ways of copying with depression. Hers was love. And fuck did she take advantage of me." 

"I guess my love wasn't enough." His voice cracked and his fist tightened as he tried to hold back the tears. "Wanna know the worst part?" He asked and Ella stiffly nodded.

"Melody died because she felt as if she would never fit into Benjamin's perfect world. He fucking killed her because he couldn't get his head out of his ass!" His whole body was shaking with fury as he rested his head on the wall for support. "He could've saved her Ella." The tears were now rolling off his cheeks as the shaking slowed down to a stop. 

Ella cautiously placed her hand onto his back before slowly tracing circles onto his plain green shirt. 

"He almost killed you." Ty slid down from the wall and laid at the base of Ella's feet as he buried his face into his hands. 

"He didn't kill me Ty." Ella reassured him. 

"Because I saved you." 

Ella's whole body blanched, "Y-you what?" She choked out. 

Ty sighed heavily as he glanced up at her. "If I didn't take you the hospital when I did- if I had been two seconds late - you would've been dead. And don't you dare get mad at me for what I did. Because I couldn't let another person who I loved dearly die because of fucking acceptance." 

"Acceptance?" 

Ty shook his head, "Do you really think I am oblivious to the letters you sent him? I read all the ones he sent you." He paused before sparing her a glance, "You relied on love too, didn't you?" When Ella didn't respond he took that as a yes. "And when he didn't want to meet you, you felt empty, right?" She still didn't respond, but he continued on anyways. "You felt worthless, completely useless because when the love stopped so did you, right?" 

She stared at the wall behind him, her gaze cold and hard. 

"And when he realized you were like his sister, what did he do? Leave." Ty's words swirled around her as she tried to hold herself together. 

Ty continued to talk to himself, but Ella managed to block out every word except one crucial part that she wished she hadn't heard. 

"But I still don't get it. Why does he still want you?"

A/N: So now that you've heard both sides from Ty and Ben. What do you think? Do you still think Ben is wrothy of Ella? Or he is playing tricks on her? 

The song on the side is Smother by Daughter and it's amazing. I'm in love with all of Daughter's songs. 

Thanks for reading and stay rad :)
