I Built A Friend By Alec Benjamin Novels & Stories

"Thank you so much, Poppy. You've always been so kind to me and have been such a good friend. I appreciate you and our friendship." *** Early in the following day, I decided to call Alec and tell him about my progress with Elijah. He was the one person who had my back and always wanted to see me happy. "Guess what?" "He woke up in your bed this morning?" He giggled. "No, silly. Even better." I opened the balcony doors and looked down at the golf course field and closed my eyes as I took in the fresh air. "Tell me, you know I'm bad at this guessing game!" He laughed.

For three years, Damon had existed at the center of my world so completely that sometimes I genuinely struggled to remember what my life looked like before him. At first, he was simply my best friend. The charming, frustratingly handsome business student who sat beside me during freshman orientation while making sarcastic comments under his breath about the dean’s painfully long speech, and by the end of that day, we were already laughing together like we had known each other forever. Then came the late night study sessions, the coffee dates that stopped feeling platonic far too quickly. And eventually, Damon became the person I called first every morning and the last person I spoke to every

My cheek literally heat up at the word 'boyfriend' "Jaden, this is Alec, our lead singer and Caleb is also a guitarist" "Welcome to the family Jaden" the one introduced as Caleb chirp happily as he locked hand with me. "Thank you man" "Hey Alec, nice to meet you bro" I turned and offered him my palm for a handshake and he just reach over and pull me into his chest in a tight embrace. "Nice to finally meet you too Jaden. I mean, we have heard a lot about you"

Fortunately, it really was Ben. Ben had always been helpful to the residents in the building. He would help us take out the trash and collect our parcels. Every time he helped me with something, I would pass him a couple of drinks to show my gratitude. I would never let him leave empty-handed, so we knew each other quite well. “I went away for a competition and handed the apartment to Jacob so that he could look after my expensive paintings. Who knew that he would pass the key to Prissy and allow her to partition my apartment?

Madeline: I met up with Byron, the alpha everyone had talked so much nonsense about, and it turned out he was not that bad. He was actually willing to help me. I told him I wanted to summon the monster in a way that would allow me to chase him down to his home. Byron was completely into it. He agreed, and that kind of shocked me. Was he really Baxter’s friend as he claimed? Maybe they were friends, and then Baxter found out he was doing some illegal activity and had to put a ban on him.

“Alec.” His eyes flicked to Mira, who offered him a dazzling smile. “Hi, I’m Mira. Kehlani’s best friend, business partner, and all-around protector. Also, the person who will publicly destroy anyone who tries to hurt her.” She tilted her head. “Just putting that out there.” Alec’s lips twitched slightly, but he didn’t rise to the bait. “Noted.” I set my fork down. “What do you want, Alec?”

Alec steps back from me, “just like that our friendship is over.” “Kind of,” I sigh. “But let’s face, it was over the moment Erebus claimed me as his own.” “I will miss you,” he says quietly. “Not as much as I will miss you. You were my first friend here.” I cannot conceal the sadness in my voice. “I’ll never forget you,” he whispers. “Just sit on the bed and close your eyes.” Alec eyes me suspiciously. “Just trust me.” Alec closes his eyes and I run from the apartment unable to stomach a goodbye.

Bruce said, his voice low. Moments later, the door opened. Alec Benjamin stepped inside with deliberate calm. His dark suit fit neatly, his stride measured, his expression unreadable but sharp. A folder rested under his arm. He moved to the desk without waiting to be offered a seat. “Bruce.” Alec’s tone was smooth, as if they were old acquaintances meeting under friendlier terms. “I trust the day has treated you well.” Bruce leaned back in his chair, folding his arms. “What do you want?”

She was doing fine until she heard them. Four males, second-years by their size and the easy way they took up space, were three tables over. The one at the centre had a wide jaw and the kind of grin that meant he'd already decided how his morning was going to go. His name, she'd clocked from the intake board; she'd memorised her first hour here, was Bren. The others she'd tagged were Dex, Calloway, and a fourth one she hadn't placed yet, who laughed loudest at everything. "Fresh intake finally made it to the hall." Bren didn't lower his voice. Wasn't for his friends. "Took long enough."
