Ari was about to scream again, but managed to make himself stay silent. Just don't say anything and you can't yell. Just stop. This wasn't the way he wanted to be held by Benny, but it was good enough to calm him a bit. His warmth sank in with his words '<i>You don't belong here</i>'. Something about that really hit home. Benny wasn't the first to say it. He wasn't the first to mean it either, but it was the first time it ever really struck at something inside him.<br/><br/>Ari didn't fight being carried like a potato sack, and allowed Benny to carry him down the stairs. Ever step seemed to calm him more and more, yet filled him with regret instead. He shouldn't have treated Belly like that. He had such a hard time admitting it, but he care for him. Benny was important to him and he treated him like trash. He felt awful.
