Chapitre 147: Ocean – How Is Ben Doing?

~~

Ocean

~~

Things were pretty quiet after Ryan left. I think that Ben was a little bit shell shocked after what had happened. I honestly should have seen it coming but I really didn't want to see Ryan react the way that he did.

I think, deep down, Ryan just felt betrayed because Ben didn't tell him the truth. He hid it from Ryan for so long that when it finally came to light, it was like he had been lying to him.

I think that the only person that Ben was lying to was himself. He was telling himself that if he just hid it forever, that he would be happy, and things would be just fine. That wasn't how it was going to be, though. You can't look at the thing that you really, truly want everyday and be happy. That is torture, not happiness.
