Romans & histoires Blow Me Away Breaking Benjamin Halo

It’s like it saturates my skin and sinks into me, making my body feel heavy, and my shoulders sag. All of the wonderful feelings that Blake invoked in me tonight have disappeared after entering this house of nightmares. I walk over to my Bluetooth speaker and connect my phone. I make sure the volume is low before I press play. The sound of Natasha Bedingfield’s “Wild Horses” fills the room. I slowly pull off my clothes till I’m in my bra and panties. I open my drawer and pull out my blade that I didn’t expect to get out tonight. This night was so up and down. The ups were amazing with Blake, but the downs are the ones that stick to my skin as if they are tangible entities. As if they have ha

She'd get caught in real time—no more comebacks, no more second chances. I turned to Liam. "Forget that overseas concert. Exams are coming—stay home and study." He threw me a smug smile and walked off, not even pretending to care. Didn't matter. His cards were frozen. Let him land overseas and find out he can't buy a soda. After wrapping things up at home, I had the driver take me to the hospital. The doctor said it wasn't too bad—nothing some treatment and clean eating couldn't fix. That took a weight off my shoulders.

I announced and he dropped his head and whispered something to Ariel before he placed one last kiss on her lips and moved away from her. As Benjamin approached me, his eyes looked as though he was going to kill me and I chuckled. “At least now you know how it feels to be interrupted at a dire moment,” I commented and Benjamin groaned in response. “Can you just tell me what you need help with?” He growled out.

"Because... I know the reason why you drank. And I know that if you keep acting on impulse from the drink, you might do things you'll regret the next day." I open my eyes, even though it's hard to keep them open, and briefly look into Benjamin's eyes. They were truly enchanting. He was actually a charming guy. Any girl would easily fall for him. I touch his hand, resting on the bed, and give him a small sleepy smile. "Thank you." I whisper. Unable to keep my eyes open any longer, I end up passing out. ***

“Hailee Stevens. You were amazing earlier!” “Really? Thank you.” Damon smiled at her before he brought his gaze back to me again. Hail purposely elbowed me. I cleared my throat. “Beverly Brook.” Our hands collided but I eventually released mine from his. I don’t know. There’s just something in his vibe that felt off to me. “Beverly!” I felt like a cold water was poured allover me when Atlas’ thunderous voice roared from a distance. His footsteps were nearing then and before I could pull Hail out of there, he was already in our front and it was too late for me to leave unnoticed. I swallowed hard at the intensity of his fuming gaze.

He cried out in pain. Hearing him say "Tara," Benjamin narrowed his eyes. "Brad, are you remembering something?" Brad glared at him angrily. "Are you crazy? Why did you hit me? What does the woman I like have to do with you?" The fleeting image that flashed through his mind was completely forgotten the moment he looked up. Benjamin stared at him in astonishment. Blood trickled down the corner of his lips, making him look ethereally dangerous. His skin was so pale it was almost blinding, and his eyes were calm as a still pool, radiating a chilling sharpness.

The music and chatter continued uninterrupted as Benjamin stepped out of the vehicle, his eyes scanning the sea of faces until they landed on Avery. For a moment, he simply stood there, frozen in place, taking in the sight of Avery. He had never seen her like this before—carefree, radiant, and full of life. Her smile lit up the entire scene, and her laughter was infectious, drawing everyone in. Benjamin's gaze was captivated by Avery's dancing form, his eyes following every movement she made. He felt a pang in his chest, a mix of emotions he couldn't quite decipher. Slowly, Benjamin began to make his way through the crowd, his eyes never leaving Avery's face. People parted to let him through

Juliano only scoffed at the warning, “You can’t keep watch over her forever Benjamin. She’s an attractive woman and if not me, there are other men out there who will- His words were cut short by a swift indenting punch sinking into his face. Benjamin let him go, laying back to watch Juliano staggering and falling to the floor. He turned back into the house, slamming the door behind him. ** Bloom woke up with a start, her large eyes glancing around for confirmation. She exhaled happily, throwing the blanket off her body to get down. But, ‘No…something doesn’t feel right’. She ran outside her room, down the stairs and calling out for her big brother. Benjamin peaked his head out from the kitch
