ben felt so angry as he saw the two...he never knew how much it hurted to have his heart broken. it sickened him,
gripping his insides knowing he couldn't have what he wanted...needed most...

he only met that person awhile ago but...he fell for that person. he tried so much to deny it but it was there. he
felt selfish and stupid for letting them pursue their own interests....

ben, bitter mumbling: a princess...puh...how could i even think--
guy: hey kid...

ben: hey, i'm not into that kinda stuff, kay?

guy: no, jeez. i'm drake reed, the---
ben: wait...bastian mentioned you... are you the editor for that newspaper...?
drake:
yes...anyways, you seem a bit angry about something...
ben: what? i don't--
drake: oh please, you could tear
a tree out with all your grumbling...

drake: look, all i'm saying is, whatever is pissing you off, just talk to the person who did whatever pissed you off.
gawd knows i've done alotta shitty things from anger...

regret stung the man as he decided his advice wasn't going into the kid...

ben looked at the man and thought there was something familiar about him....
