Y/n POV

Ben checked a berry bush which seems to have been snacked on as Darius screamed out, "Bumpy?! Bumpy?!" Ben looked back annoyed, "Shh! You want the Scorpios rex to hear you? But Bumpy's close. You can tell by the-" Darius cuts Ben off, "Drool. Yeah, got that." Ben cleans his hand on his shirt as he says, "This is her favorite berry patch. It's where we first tried them together." I smiled slightly and said, "Now I remember this place." Ben continued talking, "Whenever she finishes here she usually moves on to the patch near the waterfall." Ben turns around as Darius says, "Okay. Let's go to the waterfall." Ben shushes him as he looks around, then he grabs the both of us and hides behind a tree. "Scorpios?" asked Darius but Ben answered, "No. It's steps aren't that heavy."

Leaves rustle as Ben says, "I think it's...", Bumpy roars as she comes out of the bush. "Bumpy!" yelled out Ben happily then he runs to her and hugs her. I smile and also go to hug her, Ben says, "Oh, well, you're safe! You're safe!" Darius gets close and says smugly, "I guess yelling her name did work." Ben turns and frowns at Darius. "Glad you're okay, girl. Phew! We were worried. Now, let's all get to the boat before--" Darius is cut off my Ben, "I, uh... I'm not going with you."  My eyes widen as I snap my neck to look at Ben. Darius didn't get it and says, "Fine, stay mad at me. We don't have to walk together. I'll stay ten paces behind you Cool? It doesn't matter how we get to the boat, just that we get there."

Ben looks at us firmly and says, "No. I'm not leaving the island." "Ben don't start this again" I said a hint of worry in my voice. Darius added, "Ben, Bumpy fits on the boat and Bumpy is with us now. Ergo, boat time for all of us. Let's go!" Darius tries to push Ben into the boats direction but he refuses, "It was never just about Bumpy. It's about me, too. I need to stay." I frown and asked, "I though you were just worried about her. What's all of this about?" Darius added, "Ben, that's crazy. You need to go home." Ben yelled, "This is my home! I'm happy here! I've got Bumpy. I've got grubs. I've got the thick jungle air. What more could I want?" I irk and frown hard, "What about me, Ben?! Do I not matter!"

Ben tried to justify as he's also angry, "I'm more me on this island than I've ever been. The best version of me. I've changed." "Ben! Yes, you've changed, but I'm starting to think it's too much. I don't want to live in the jungle. I want to go home! Besides I don't want to be pessimistic but you'll never make it, especially with that beast that almost killed my brother!" I yelled. "Why don't you trust me? You can also stay N/n" Ben said to me, Darius backed down not knowing how to stop the two of us. "Don't N/n, me. I want to get back to my family, I'm not leaving Aleem!" I shouted. "I can make it. Heck, Bumpy and I defeated-" I cut Ben off and say, "What about me?! I helped you defeat Toro! Besides you constantly using this point to win arguments is getting old!"

"But I did! So I can do anything!" Ben yelled out, I grind my teeth and say, "My patience is waning! This isn't entertaining any more, Ben! I helped you my injuring Toro, remember?!" Ben tried to come back, "Yeah well-", I cut him off, "You better not say anything else because Bumpy was the on who did the final blow." Darius tries to talk, "We're out of time! It's almost sunrise. Please stop arguing!" Ben clenched his fists as he ignores Darius, "Y/n, you're not listening." "No, you're not listening!" I said back. Ben then says, "I'm sorry you're not happy with my decision, but it's not up to you. I like who I am here and I'm staying, and that's final!"

I squint and asked, "I though couples worked together on their decisions?" Ben shakes his head, "You've been spending more time with Aleem!" I gasp, "He's my brother, and for the record we hadn't had much time together since the fall. I can't believe your saying this, also. HE ALMOST DIED!" My face was hot from my anger, I never felt this way before with anyone. "Then go! I'm not stopping you, go with him and leave me here" Ben said as he clenched his jaw. I smiled a faux smile, "You know what, I've had it. You've changed too much for me. I can't do this anymore." I ripped off the blue fabric I had on my left wrist. Ben gasps and whispers, "N/n" as I drop it on the ground, "I'm leaving." I bump into Ben's shoulder and pass him.
