broken down{Emi

[BENNY GALLAGHER]

Benny was alone in the Lost Boys' Den, or at least he thought he was. But he went up into his room anyways. He had removed many pictures from his walls and desk and drawers. These weren't just any old pictures and things which now reside in a box... it was pictures and stuff that were of Izzy and things that she and Madee gave him. It tore him up inside to even look at them any more.

After that was done, he laid across the bed, but not in a normal way, he decided to just lay across with his bed with his feet on the ground. His hair was pulled back with his favorite bandana and he was just staring at the ceiling, watching the magical sky change colors.

Something inside of Emi told her that Benny just wasn't right at this moment. Being a seer and all she could tell these things are periodic moments. Trying to locate Benny, she couldn't reach that far this time and just decided to guess where he was. Going to the Den, Emi looked around the main room and noticed he wasn't there. Well one other place to look. Going up to his room, she noticed his laying down on his bed, his feet on the floor. Going to the doorway, Emi smiled and leaned on the frame with her side. "Somebody having some problems today?" She said looking at him.

Stepping away from the frame and going to his bed, sitting beside him on the edge, she looked at him with a concerned expression. "I could tell something was wrong. So spill. What happened?" It wasn't everyday that Benny was in an upset stupor so when it did happen, Emi was right on top of it. Him being upset worried her because it had to be bad then. Plus, she loved him and she didn't want him to be upset or worried.

Benny noticed Emi there. is heart fluttered like always when he saw her. But he couldn't bring himself to smile quite yet. He just nodded and said, "Izzy and I had this major fight the other day.And apparently she never wants to see me or talk to me ever again." He frowned even more.He tried so hard not to tear up. "it hurts because she was like my oldest friend... i knew her before any of my other friends. I always thought me and her would always be friends... but i guess i was wrong."

He sat up slowly and leaned his head on her shoulder. "basically... i was sitting at the docks... thinking about how much life had changed this year... when Izzy comes over and shoves me off the docks, yelling at me because i didn't tell her about our Engagement before the gossip found out about it... then she got over it it seemed... but she and i were talking and i found out that she was drinking and dating Alex again... and you know how i am with her... i wanted to have her be free of the downward spiral that her life was on before. and i pretty much said that. "

He took a deep breath and continued. "i pretty much gave her hell about it, because i care enough about her to want to see her happy and healthy... and drinking her life away is not the best way to be happy and healthy... besides i don't trust Alex at all. Especially with what he did to Kara... I didn't want to see her hurt. but she accused me of not caring enough about her to respect her happiness." He looked down sadly.

"am i horrible Emi? " he asked in a heart broken tone.

[EMILINE ICELENE GALLAGHER]

Oh so there really was something wrong. This was going to end up being bad because Emi could see the extreme hurt in Benny's eyes. Letting him start the story, once she heard it was about Izzy, she knew that this was going to be a tough story to tell. Looking at him with a concerned expression, Emi couldn't help but get more down by the sentence. It was very disappointing that Izzy would react like this. Benny was only looking out for her best interest. Just because she didn't like it didn't mean that she had to completely shun him as a friend. Couldn't she see that he was only being a good friend to her. This was just a complete disaster and Emi's initial reaction was to try to fix it all, to make Benny's hurt go away. But she also had to think of Izzy. Izzy was her friend still and she had to talk to her and make her see that Benny was only thinking of her best interest.

Looking at him lay his head on her shoulder, she ran a hand over his cheek and sighed, letting him continue. Then the question, was he horrible. "Benny. Of course your not horrible. You were only looking out for Izzy. If I were her, I would appreciate that I have such a great friend." She said then shifting a bit so that she was up on the bed more. "Come here." She said having her arms open so that she could hold him for a change. He needed it at this time.

"Izzy will come around. She always does right? I want to say something to her too. Drinking isn't the solution to happiness and as a friend of Selena's I know how Alex is. Maybe he really has changed? I don't know, but I know in the past he has been a very bad influence. Just, I would let her figure this out herself. She's a smart girl, she'll figure it out. I can almost bet on it. So... try to stop your worrying. Just go on with life like it didn't happen. Trust me, it helps. She'll come around." Emi was only trying to stay positive for Benny. It seemed to be the best thing right now for him, not someone that was going to be pessimistic about the subject. Then smiling, she looked at him hoping that it would be contagious. "And if this makes you feel any better. I love you."

[BENNY GALLAGHER]

Benny closed his eyes as he was leaning into her. "That makes me feel better... slightly" said Benny opening his eyes to look at Emi with his blue eyes.He hugged her and he didn't want to let go, because he needed to give her a hug. It really comforted him to be in her arms. "sure maybe i shouldn't have freaked out at what she said. " He shrugged lightly. He also said, "and perhaps i might have hurt her feelings..." He had to admit that he did do something wrong as well. it wasn't all Izzy's fault.

"i don't know if she will come around this time... She was really really mad at me. and you know how she is,stubborn." said Benny in a pessimistic tone. then he said, "i know she is smart... but... i just didn't want her to get hurt by Alex. I mean seriously, i don't understand how she can like someone who would hit a woman... A true gentleman would never hit a woman." he muttered darkly.

"i'll try to go on with my life, but it would just be weird without her being there goofing with me and daring me and betting with me..." He said with a sigh. then when he saw her smile, he gave her a half smile. "I love you too Emi... and that does make me feel better.In fact it makes me feel special." He smiled fully after that. He kissed her cheek.

[EMILINE ICELENE GALLAGHER]

Running a hand over his hair, she just sat there with him letting him pour his heart out to her. Emi wanted to cry because of how much pain Benny was in. But she couldn't let herself do that. Then it would turn into a pity party for Emi and that wasn't what she wanted right now. This was about Benny and she needed to be there for him. "Benny. She will come around. I'm sure of it. She always does. Also, she needs to learn this lesson on her own. There is nothing we can do about it now. Izzy will figure it out. I know she will." Emi was more loose about people learning lessons on their own, even if they were her closest friend. Sometimes, it took personal experience to learn something.

"And you know if Alex breaks Izzy's heart then I'll be one of the first people to break his pretty face." She said chuckling a bit. It was her attempt of trying to lighten the mood a bit. That's what she thought that he needed, someone to lighten the mood for him. "I know he hit Kara, but maybe he will prove us all wrong and show that he has really changed? Maybe, just maybe. Then when that happens, this whole situation you are in, will be for nothing. She'll see that and will come back to be your friend." Looking at Benny, Emi smiled and leaned to him and gave him a gentle kiss. Running a hand across his cheek, she looked at him lovingly and with a sincerity in her eyes that told him that everything was going to be okay.

"If I could conger up a vision on if you guys will work this out I would. But today, it has just been giving me hunches, never any clear visions. But if I see one I will let you know. Okay?" She said hoping that made things a bit better. Pulling him closer, she held onto him a bit tighter and then smiled. "You should feel special. You are engaged to me right? That's a feat in its own." She said trying to crack a joke to make him laugh. Emi was just trying everything to get him to feel better. "Put all your pain on me okay? All that hurt, give it to me. I can handle it." she said smiling.

[BENNY GALLAGHER]

Benny smiled gently and said, "i hope so. perhaps i ought to stop thinking about that fight, and just hope that she will come around. But if she doesn't come around, at least i had many good memories of our friendship." It was obvious that he didn't want to dwell on the fight. He would rather dwell on the good things in his life.

He laughed smally at the idea of Emi beating up Alex. He obviously approved of that. "i hope that for her sake, that he had changed for the better." That was all he was going to say about Alex. "it might take me a while to want to be close friends with her again. i mean considering that she didn't believe that i care about her... and the fact that she said that she wanted me dead... I think it will be a while."

"you don't need to go looking for a vision for me. If me and her make up, then that's great, if not... i would be disappointed, but, i suppose i can respect her decision." He said honestly after he kissed her back lovingly. Then he cracked a kooky grin. "yeah. that is an amazing in itself. and i think it is surreal in a way that i am engaged to the one i love more than anything. " He nodded in understanding to what she said, "i will try. but it is always amazing that you make me feel happier just being around you."

[EMILINE ICELENE GALLAGHER]

Emi knew how all of this was hard for Benny. But it was awesome to see him come around to an optimistic point of view. That was the Benny that she knew and loved. The one that usually found the good in everything. It made her smile at the thought that he was coming around. Maybe she did have an effect on him. After all, good vibes here contagious right? "You won't have to remember the good memories for very long because you two will be making new memories together once she comes around." She said hearing his laugh. That was always reassuring. That laugh made her light up inside. Everything about him made her light up inside though.

Oh that was just too harsh of her to want Benny dead. "I'm going to give you a little pointer on girls. Now, as a girl I haven't quite understood this either. Guess I'm just different. But, a lot of girls say stuff they don't really mean in the heat of the moment. Like her very uncalled for comment about wanting you dead. Girls do that. They don't really mean it." It was true though. Emi wasn't one to say something like that, but some girls did. She had heard a lot of that kind of stuff come from Selena when she was upset. Though never a death wish, she would hear her say things that she wished that they had an evil twin that would bug them until they went mental.

Seeing that kooky grin of his also made her light up inside. Running a hand over that grin, she couldn't help but smile brightly. "There's the Benny I know. Welcome back comrade." She said laughing and listening to what he had to say. "It is pretty surreal. Especially since we were best friends, then it kind of all just happened. I'm so glad it did though." Her arms were still around Benny, never wanting to let go of him. Ever, it was just meant to be. "Well I really try Benny. I don't like when you are upset. Not at all. So I want to help out, or take the hurt away from you. That's what every good future wife is supposed to do."

[/size]

[BENNY GALLAGHER]

Benny laughed gently and said, "I sure hope so. Because i really rather look to the future instead of looking back when it comes to that." He looked at her with a half smile and a shrug."i hope you are right... because it really hurt me." He laughed at her reaction to his grin. "Same here. I am glad that fate or whatever had brought us together. because i honestly the happiest ever when i am with you. it always been like that. "

He stayed close to her. His feet finally were on the bed. "just being here with you talking things out makes me feel alot better. You seem to have a knack for making me feel better." It was still amazing to think of them being engaged... so it made his heart leap when she said the words future wife.

[SELENA.ISABELLA.JOHNSON]

The pain was just radiating off of Benny, but Emiline could sense that it was lessening little by little. It was her way of taking the pain off of his shoulders and putting it onto hers. Hopefully it was working and she could take all of it. "I know it hurt you. I can feel your pain. But just listen to me, I am sure that she will come around. It will take a while, but Izzy isn't one to just abandon her life long friend." She said completely sure that Izzy would come back. It just wasn't in her nature to abandon those that she really cared about, and Benny was one of those people. Though Emi might have a part in Izzy going back to Benny, she would still be glad when Izzy came to her senses. Hopefully Izzy didn't turn Emi into a liar.

Aw! He was the happiest he had ever been. That made Emi's heart skip a beat. Why had she turned all soft now? That answer was simply; because she loved him. More than anyone or anything on this planet. "You make me the happiest I have ever been too. Even if you are softening me up you bastard." She said joking about the last part. "I love you so much Mr. Gallagher." She said before giving him a gentle kiss on the lips. Everything that she had ever wanted was right there in her arms and if she were to ever loose him, it would tear her up inside.

[BENNY GALLAGHER]

Benny looked up at her and said, "i'm listening to you... and i want to believe you when you say that.I want to believe that she will come around. and of course i believe you when you can feel my pain." His eyes sought comfort in her eyes. Then he grinned and poked her in the side. "it's because of you that i am going soft. It's because you just had to go and make me fall head over feet in love with you. and yeah you are going soft but i still love you and nothing will make me love you less... " He kissed her back happily. All his problems seemed to drift away in that instant. All that mattered then and there was her.

[EMILINE ICELENE GALLAGHER]

Sometimes this man was just way too good to her, even in times like these. It was amazing how much he trusted her. That trust made her feel amazing. Stopping the kiss for a moment, she had to add in a comment to what he had said before she kissed him. "Same goes for you. Why did you have to make me do that! Oh man do I hate you for that." She said winking and letting out a chuckle. "Oh well. We can be soft. Who cares. All that matters to me is you." Normally, Emi would never say such meaningful things like that, but Benny had turned her world upside down. Putting a hand on his cheek, she caressed it gently and just smiled, until she pulled her lips to his again in a sweet kiss, all of her thoughts fleeing from her mind and all of them turning onto him, though 99 percent of them were already on him.

[BENNY GALLAGHER]

Benny pretended to look hurt when she said that she hates him for making her fall for him, then a playful smirk came across his lips when he noted the wink."it's hard to keep from being soft when you make me feel like this." said Benny with a soft chuckle. He kissed her back again softly.

"you're the only one that really matters to me.I relly don't what if i lost you." He muttered in a loving tone after breaking the kiss. He hugged her happily. He was grateful for her in his life. He was glad that she could always brighten his day, no matter how bad it had been.

[SELENA.ISABELLA.JOHNSON]

Benny was just way to sweet to her sometimes. More than she deserved, at least that is what she believed. She hugged him tightly to her and just loved feeling the warmth radiating off of his body. The closeness made her feel loved to the extreme and it was something that she never wanted to end. This feeling, this crazy love, everything. What assured her that this would last forever was the ring on her finger and the thought of being Mrs. Emiline Gallagher. That had a very nice ring to it and she couldn't wait to be going by that in the future.

"I don't know what I would do either. Probably become a nun and move to like the Netherlands where I wouldn't have to associate with anyone. I would be tore up inside." It was true, Emi would be a complete wreck if her and Benny were to break. Usually that would scare her to no end, but this time around, it didn't. Not at all. Her complete trust was in him and it was awesome to have that kind of feeling.

[/size]

[BENNY GALLAGHER]

Benny laughed gently and said, "wouldn't want you to do that...i really don't think you would be a good Nun...you are much too wonderful and fun and lovable... to be one." He looked innocent after he said that. "you always would have my heart. so you never have to worry about losing me... except in death or whatever." He meant that. He would never want to break it off with Emi. They were two peas in a pod... they were corresponding puzzle pieces."so... do you know what you have to do next in the tournament?" He asked randomly. He was interested in what she had to do with that.
