===== Ben's POV =====

Why...

Why am I so stupid? Why am I acting like this? Siren probably thinks I'm pathetic now! Damn it!

"Ben?" Siren asks. I don't answer back. I can't face her right now. She probably thinks I'm asleep anyway though. I open my eyes and stare blankly at Sirens shadow. I really hope she doesn't think I'm pathetic... Damn it! I have to ask it's bothering me to much.

I turn around to face her. She's looking in some journal. I stare at it realizing it was Sarah's journal that she used to write in. Siren's expression was not a very happy one. It-it almost seemed like she was angry...more than angry, almost an enraged look. She looks at me and gasps, immediately closing the journal. "W-Why are you awake?! I..." She stopped her sentence, looking the other direction.

She puts the journal back in her drawer and sighs in an annoyed manner. "I'm going to be blunt here, whats your opinion on Sarah?" I sit up and stutter. " I-I don't...I don't like her if that's what your implying." She looks me in the eyes and says, "that's not what I meant-" Her eyes trail off mine, "-but whatever..." What was in that Journal that has her so worked up? "What did you read? Was it something bad? Why are you angry?" She sighs. "I... I just don't like how she talks about you, that's all."

"Are you sympathizing me?" She looked really angry now. "No. It just pisses me off how she treated you." She's not mad at me...good. "Y-You care about me..." She chuckles, "of course! I lo-" she stops and looks down. "-I care lot about you... Don't doubt me, okay?" I smile widely. "Of course...I love you too." She smiles slightly looking down.

I felt overjoyed hearing that from her. She actually has real feelings for me. I mean...I knew she did. But, she's angry for me. "I love you." I say quietly. She looks at me in confusion. "You already said tha-" she gasps. "-Ben! Why are you crying? Is it something I said?" I wipe my eyes. "I didn't realize I was."

She holds my hand tightly looking at me with worry. "Why are you sad?" I chuckle as tears were streaming down my face. "I'm happy, these are happy tears, I think... I'm not sad." She looks at me with even more worry. "Why are you happy? Are you a masochist?" I burst out in laughter. "No, I'm happy because of how much you care." I couldn't make out her expression. She looks very mixed with emotions.

She finally sighs and says, "Benjamin, I care more about you than you think..." That's the first time she addressed me using my real name. She must be serious...

Now I've done it...

I hold Sirens hand tightly, as I start crying...how pathetic. Im always crying! Im crying too much... I'm always getting swept up in strong emotions like this....ugh, I'm so confused! This gut-wrenching happiness I have is unbearable. It's making me sick!

I cry in her shoulder as she hugs me back. "Ben come on, it's not a big deal." Siren says softly. I shake my head and say, " No it is..." She chuckles and hugs me tighter. I sit up to face her. "S-sorry I'm so bipolar... Damn, you must be annoyed at me." She laughs and says, "of course I'm not. I mean, being bipolar gives you real emotions. It may still be an excuse...but it still hurts doesn't it?" I sob letting out a few words. " Yeah... It does."

I'm pathetic. And it doesn't help that Sirens so nice to me... Too nice. It's only making me want to cry more.

I guess, in a way Siren annoys me too. How kind and thoughtful she is... I'm not used to that quite yet. It's really different than how I've been treated in the past. And it makes me more nervous than ever, almost annoyed in a way. I mean I love the feeling of joy she gives me. But if others saw that, they'd want it... It's nerve-racking just to think about it. I don't want to lose this sick happiness I'm feeling.

Don't get me wrong, I want her to feel it too. I mean i know her more than anyone. Yet at the same time, there's too much I still don't know about her. Its scary almost...It's like all those years of observation was for nothing. I've never talked to her till now, I've never made her smile till now, I've never even laid a finger on her till now. What am I to her? She means everything to me, but I don't know how to make her feel the same. She's too hard to figure out sometimes...

I stop crying and look at her. She didn't look at me like I was crying, she didn't even look annoyed like she usually does either. She just sat there smiling. "Why are you smiling? Am I amusing?" She laughs and says, " no no, I'm just happy your crying for me..." She looks away and apologized. "O-Oh I'm sorry, that was pretty insensitive wasn't it?" I chuckle. "Maybe a little..." She glances back at me and gives me a sad smile. "I'm glad your happy... That wasn't tears of sadness was it?" I look at her, slightly scared on how she knew that. " N-No... Why are you happy I cried for you?" I ask cautiously. She looks down and says, "I'm just glad you care. Oh- I um... Pretty selfish of me huh? " I smile, wiping my eyes. "No no, i don't think so..."

She lays her head down on the pillow and sighs. "I'm glad... I'd hate for you to get the wrong idea." I lay down with her, staring at the ceiling. "You seem a little too cheerful right now..." She closes her eyes and chuckles. " do I? How funny, I guess I'm bipolar too..."

I turn around on my side to face her. " Are you sleepy yet?" She responds back sheepishly, "kinda, I guess." I stare at her as her smile starts to fade. "Siren? Can I stay here another night?" She chuckles as she pulls the blankets over herself. "It's not like I can stop you from sleeping here anyway." I move closer to her and say, " I know but, do you want me here? Or would you rather me go?"

"I'd rather you stay... I enjoy your company, but I have a feeling you might try something." I blush profusely. "N-No of course not! I'm not going to do something you don't want me to!" She open her eyes and smiles. "Made you blush." I chuckle and lay me head down next to hers. " Whatever..." I look at the time.

"3:30? Siren, you shouldn't be tired so early in the day!" She closes her eyes and responds with a tired look on her face. " Well, I guess that's your fault, Ben. At least let me sleep in peace." I give her an uncertain look. " Fine... But can I ask one more question?" She sighs. " Okay... If I answer this can I go to sleep?" My smile fades. " You won't ever leave me... Right?" She open her eyes with a surprised look on her face. "W-Why are y... Why would you ask that?" I look down. " You left home, your family and friends, your life... For me. Why are you still here?"

She looked almost uncertain herself. " I-I'm not sure... I've been having some problems remembering my old life lately. I think I-" she paused and looked shocked- almost terrified.

But after a second or two she shakes off her thoughts and gives me a smile. "Well... It's not like I want to go back. To tell you the truth there's nothing to come back to." I look at her confused. What? Nothing to come back to? What's that supposed to mean? Sometimes I wish she would tell me more things about herself. "D-Don't worry about it Ben, I don't think I'll be leaving here anytime soon." I give her an uncertain look. "Siren I-" I stop in the middle of my sentence and stare at Siren's Door.

Someone's Listening to us...

"Ben, w-what are you doing?"  Siren asks pulling on my shirt. It's a Creepypasta... it also seems hostile...Why is it just lingering there? I look Back at Siren and give her a reassuring smile. "Everything's fine... I'm going to get a glass of water, I'll be Back... You can sleep in peace now." Siren laughs, laying her head on the pillow. "Sure, whatever... See you later."
