General POV:

Whilst Ethan was dropping off the girls off back home, Benson's concert had just finished. He decided he would go to the bar for the fun of it because like yesterday, he had met Luna so he wondered if anything else special could happen tonight, maybe he could meet a really nice guy and expand his friendship circle. His only true friend really was Ethan. The rest were fake or just wanted to be there for him after he had unexpected fame. Big fucking mistake. Sooner or later, he would regret ever coming to the bar tonight...

He asked his driver to take him to the bar downtown, the same bar he went to yesterday. He was driving for a while before he had finally arrived there. He waved his driver goodbye and told him that he'd call him when he wanted to go home.

He walked straight in and instantly went to the counter to order a drink or two. That's when he met this girl.

"Hey, Benson." The girl said, tapping his shoulder as he turned around to see her on his left. She wasn't that bad looking but she definitely wasn't as pretty as Luna. No girl he'd seen could ever be as pretty as she was. The girl looked younger than him, like seriously younger than him. 

"Uh, hi? Do I know you?" He said, laughing awkwardly.

"No, well not yet. I know you. I was at your concert today." She said, putting her hand out to show him the concert bracelet she had.

"Oh, that's sick. What's your favourite song that I performed tonight?" He said, taking his glass after saying 'thank you' to the bartender.

"Uhm, I think 'Drunk In My Mind' is definitely my favourite song that you played. Ugh, it's so hard to pick favourites though because all your songs are just great." She said, smiling.

"Well thanks." He said, as he took a sip before continuing with, "Hey, are you even old enough to be here? You look like, young. Like, younger than 18." He said, furrowing his brows as he analysed her young features. Not in a creepy way, don't worry. It's nothing like that, don't get the wrong idea. 🤪🤪🤪

"Haha! Yes, I'm actually 17 but I stole my older sister's ID so they let me in. But who cares?" She said, giggling as she touched his hand playfully but he quickly moved it away.

"Sorry, it's just- I'm into someone right now so I can't really- And you're like way too young for me." Benson said, laughing as he brushed it off as her being a crazy fan who was in love with him. 

"Oh, right. No, it's fine. Don't worry about it, Benson. Whoever that girl is, she must be lucky." She said, looking away before trying to stroke his hand again after saying, "But you're only 22, it's just a 5 year age gap."

"Excuse me? That's not an excuse for you and me to be together, it's still just as gross with 5 years apart. And I just said-" Benson said, moving backward as he was getting weirded out at the comment she had just made.

"Hush, it's fine. I know you want me." She said, stroking his cheek now but he quickly turned his head so her fingers would fall down.

"WHAT? I didn't say that! Get the fuck away from me!" Benson said, getting up from his seat.

"It's fine, Benson. Come here." She said, practically grabbing his face and kissing him hard so that he couldn't move away. He tried to move but she wouldn't budge. He thought about pushing her off but what if he caused a whole scene? He didn't know what to do; he was quite literally stuck. He instantly regretted ever talking to her. If only he wasn't so nice, he wouldn't be in this situation.

*MEANWHILE*

Luna's POV:

I asked Ethan to take us to the bar for one last drink. Nobody had to know, Benson wouldn't be here to snitch because he was out performing his concert and Ethan was looking forward to it anyways. But I knew he only wanted to go to waste more time so then he could spend more time with my sister, Starr. God, he really liked her that much? Couldn't be me guys!🤪

"Alright, I'm going to the bathroom to fix up my lips, you guys can head right in." I said, getting my purse ready as I went in and dipped straight into the bathroom.

"Okay, see you in there, Lulu." Starr said, waving her goodbye as she held onto Ethan's hand.

I got in there and saw a few girls who were also fixing their makeup and just in general doing, well, toilet stuff I don't know!? I stared at this one girl, who was so pretty, I just kept on stealing glances at her through the mirror. I thought she looked pretty young but she looked like she had just been out somewhere as her makeup was very extra. She was just about done washing her hand when she started to speak.

"You know, I'm not gonna bite you." She giggled slightly, with the sweetest voice ever. She was drying her hands under the dryer now.

"Sorry, I just keep looking at you. You are very pretty." I said, smiling at her brightly as I turned around to look at her.

"Aw, thank you so much! You are really pretty too! Right, I have to go but I hope to see you around. Nice talking to you!" She said, opening the bathroom door and then leaving.

"Yeah, you too." And with that, she left.

I walked out the bathroom a few minutes later, after fixing my lips, powdering my face where it was oily and rubbing off some mascara that had come off. There, I felt fresh and new again. I smiled at the people who I walked past, trying not to be rude. I wondered if I would see that nice, pretty girl again. She seemed really nice and could potentially become one of my friends? I don't know, I had high hopes for her!

I continued wondering around as I desperately looked around, searching to see if I could find Ethan or Starr anywhere. But no luck. I kept wondering around, accidentally bumping into people everywhere. But that's when I saw her. That sweet, nice, pretty girl.

Her face was facing towards me and she was talking to a guy, who had his back towards me. His hair, looked familiar. Why did I recognise that hair? His outfit, looked familiar. Why did I recognise that outfit so well? I continued to look as my curious ass wanted me to. And then, in a split second she began kissing him. He looked like he was struggling to move away from her but she held him in place.

And that's when it all clicked. I finally clocked it. This supposed, 'super, nice and pretty girl' wasn't so nice. She was kissing my man. Benson! I charged at her quickly as I could no longer stand the sight of her kissing him.

"What the fuck!" I screamed, causing Ella to jump and move off of his lips. This was his chance to get the fuck away from her.

"L-Luna, whatever you think is happening, it's-it's not. I can assure you that-" He said, quickly moving away from that Ella girl whilst he had the chance.

"Well then tell me what is happening. Both of you, tell me right now!" I said, the anger in my voice becoming apparent. Some people started to turn around but I didn't fucking care.

"Listen, pretty girl from the bathroom-"

"Don't you fucking call me that! Why the fuck would you kiss him?" I said, screaming at Ella before I turned to Benson and said, "Did you not tell her you were interested in someone else, interested in me? Or maybe you weren't all along." 

"Had I been played, all this time? Was I that naive? God, I didn't know I was this stupid!" I thought to myself, cursing in my head.

"No, no. I did, tell her that I was into someone else but she forced me. I didn't want this to happen! I swear down, I fucking told her no like twice but she wouldn't listen. She grabbed my face and kissed me. I didn't initiate the kiss. She did. Please believe me Luna, I would never do anything to hurt you, like that ever." Benson said, out of breath after he was tired of explaining the same thing over and over. 

Was I buying his excuse? Maybe. Did I plan on forgiving him any time soon? No. I couldn't forgive him for this just yet. I wasn't that naive. It was going to take time.

"Just shut the fuck up, both of you. He looked at me with those eyes and I just knew he wanted me. Me-" When she started pointing at herself like a fucking freak, I just lost it. I slapped her across the face and she gasped. She was shocked and then she started to rub her cheek.

"You dumb bitch! Go fuck yourself." She said, grunting as she scurried away. Fucking rat ass bitch.

"Listen, I'm so so sorry, Luna. I never meant for this to happen. And I hate myself for ever even talking with her. I'm so sorry." Benson said, grabbing my chin but I just looked down, biting my lip as I tried to hold back my tears.

"We'll deal with this later. Right now, we need to find Starr and Ethan and I need to go home." I said, turning my head away as I didn't want to see him. I didn't want him to see me. Not like this. I just couldn't let him see me, cry.

"Right, okay. Come on then, Luna." He said, grabbing my hand. I was going to let it go but I didn't. I needed a source of comfort and his hand was right there for me, ready to hold as I cried.

"Are-are you crying, Luna?" Benson said, stopping as he turned to look at my face, shocked. My makeup was all ruined now.

"N-no." I sniffled, but it was no use in trying to protest against him. He knew me too well. He just held me close and hugged me until he could no longer hear me sniffling. He wiped my tears and carried on leading the way. We had finally found Ethan and Starr, who were sat on the sofa, laughing their drunk asses off. As soon as I saw them, I let go of his hand.

"Starr! Oh my gosh, are you drunk right now?" I said, rushing over to her as I started to pick her up.

"No!" She said, stretching it out. She fucking gave it away. I put her drink down from out of her hand and grabbed her successfully.

"God, could you have not made it more obvious?" Benson said, grabbing Ethan and holding him whilst he held onto his shoulder.

"We were just having a bit of fun." Ethan said, drunkenly.

"Benson, give me the keys from Ethan's pocket. I'm driving since you idiots all decided to get drunk." I said, rolling my eyes before I caught the keys he threw me.

"I've only had one drink." Benson said.

"One drink is still bad. We're not risking it. I've had none." I explained, rushing out the doors.

"I guess you're right. Sorry." Benson said, smiling like this: 😐

I pressed the button on the keys and unlocked the doors. I practically carried Starr with me on my shoulder until we reached the car, which was across the street. Benson was holding tightly onto Ethan, making sure he wouldn't fall. I was about to smile about how sweet he was but then remembered what happened a few minutes ago. I put Starr in the front seat as I walked around to the driver seat and Benson put Ethan in the back, with him.

"Can we go back to Benson's place, please? I'm not ready to go back home like this, plus Mum and Dad would kill me if they were to see me drunk." Starr said, pleading and slurring her words.

"Okay, sure. Benson, is that okay?" I asked as I turned behind me, to look at Benson.

"Yeah, sure. I'll give you directions." He said, smiling. I smiled slightly back at him.

I started up the car and we started drive back to Benson's place. I was still mad but I was a little less mad now as he did really try to comfort me. He really does like me, I think. He wasn't mad at me for acting out. Maybe I did overreact a bit or maybe I was delusional the whole time. You know what, maybe he doesn't even like me in the first place.
