Meet Benjamin Levi Madden

Benjamin Levi Madden, born in Waldorf, Maryland. Twin of Joel Madden, older brother to Sarah Madden, and younger brother to Josh Madden. Benjamin goes by Benji to most people, his age is eleven. He
loves his family especially his twin brother. They do everything together and unfortunately he always gets in trouble by Joel’s doings, by choice. This is where we step into Benjamin Levi Madden’s core to his life.

Benji is running down the steps with Joel right behind him. Benji looked at Joel, “Come and get me lemon squeezy!” He laughed

Joel laughed, “That doesn’t make sense!” He hit the bottom steps close to when Benji did.

Benji jumped over the back of the couch and Joel soon followed and they both started laughing. Their
mom, Robin Madden, walked in with a big smile on her face, “There are my two eleven year olds!” She bent down and hugged both of them still laughing. She started laughing with them.

Benji looked at the door his laugh fading, “Dad’s home…” He said softly

Robin put them down and looked at them, “He’s home pretty late. Welp I better get to the food before it burns.” She said and walked into the
kitchen

Joel stood up and walked into the kitchen and Benji stood up and walked towards the door but stopped
as the door flew open at a tall man, brown gloomy and hateful eyes, dark brown hair, he leaned on the door with a bottle in hand, it was his father, Benji’s heart fell to his feet. He put his hand to his chest
and started towards the door when his father stumbled forward and grabbed Benji’s arm. Benji turned to face him slowly and one hand staying to his chest as his heart pounded harder. His father bent forward and his breath stunk with booze, he put
his lips close to Benji’s ear, he began to whisper, “Go tell your mother to go to town.”

Benji looked at the door, tears went to his eyes as he nodded. He pulled his hand but his father didn’t let go. Benji looked at him.

His father kept his face near Benji’s, “Is Josh and Sarah here?” He whispered

Benji shook his head slowly shaking a little.

His father smiled, “Great, now…” He pushed Benji to the door, “Go tell her you good boy.” He said dropping the bottle on the floor and stumbling to the steps

Benji watched him hugging himself. He looked at the door and walked through the kitchen door. He sighed and looked at Robin who was stirring the food on the stove and Joel who was sitting at the table waiting patently for the food to finish. Benji’s mouth was dry but he finally go out, “Mom…”

She looked at him, “Yes love?” She looked down at the pan again

“D…D…Dad… Dad says you have… have to go to town…” He looked down not wanting to say that

She blinked and looked at him, “What for?”

Benji shrugged, “I don’t know. He just told me to tell you.” He looked up at her

She looked at Joel then at Benji, “Can you ask him why love?” She asked

Benji sighed and nodded. He started out the door and mumbled, “This world is trying to kill me…” He got to the top of the steps and started up them putting his hand on the railing. He made sure he was going slowly so it would take him longer. He stopped part way as his father stumbled to the top of the steps. He looks up at the drunken man. He opened his mouth to say something but his father interrupted

“Benji, come here.” He said and started back

Benji swallowed and started after him. Soon he got to his room and he slowly pushed open the door, his
father was sitting on the bed and he looked at Benji and patted a spot by him. Benji’s legs shook and he
started forward. He sat by his father.

He father put an arm around Benji’s shoulder, “Now son. Do you know why I do this?” He asked

Benji shook his head, “N…no.” He looked away

His father, “Cause I hate you.” He smiled

Benji looked at him, “Why!” He yelled

His father covered his mouth, “Now I hate you but I love you. I love you as my plaything. I hate you as my son.” He smiled

Benji pulled away, “Get off me you sick thing!” he ran up to the door and opened it but his dad grabbed his shirt and pulled him back. He tossed him back against the wall and looked out the door

“Hun?” He yelled down the steps

“Yes?” She yelled back

“Can you go to town now and get my pop.. I’m out! And some other stuff we need like milk? Benji and I will stay here.” He smiled back at Benji

Benji stood up and ran up to the door and yelled “Mo..!” But he couldn’t get it out as his dad grabbed his face tightly and tossed him back and Benji smacked into the footboard of the bed. He fell in a heap on the floor.

Robin walked to the bottom of the steps, “You want me to take Joel?” She asked, “Why?”

“Oh cause the boy needs to go out somewhere. Benji wants to stay here anyway. So take Joel and get him something, something good, and stay there as long as you want.” He said

“Ok… well… I will be heading out now k? If you and Benji are hungry the food is done.” She said and walked off

“Ok thank you!” His dad shut the door and he looked back at Benji smiling, “Good thing we are alone cause you hurt yourself pretty bad there champ.” He said and walked past Benji to the window. He looked out the window just as Joel and
Robin walked out of the house. Joel looked back at the house worried like and their dad waved at him.

Joel shook his head and looked away really worried. He looked at Robin, “Please can I stay mom! I have a…”

“Hun maybe your dad needs to talk to Benji bout something.” She said Joel frowned, “Then what has he wanted Benji there for all them other times in the past! I highly doubt that he talks to him every time we go to the store!” He yelled

Robin blinked, “Look, your father wants to get to know your brother more. Them two really need that now…”

Joel looked back and whispered, “Benji…”

Robin opened the door for Joel and Joel sat in the passenger side and she got in the drivers side and they left.

Benji sat up holding his head and his dad grabbed Benji around the neck and he smiled at Benji. Benji
tried to scream but his dad had to tight of a hold. His father lifted Benji up from the floor, “Maybe I should end it her Benjamin? What do you think? I could claim you commented suicide.” He dropped Benji on the bed and he walked up to the closet and he pulled out rope and two pairs of handcuffs, “But you need to hold still boy.”

Benji sat up, “Leave me alone!” He screamed and tried to get off the bed

His dad grabbed him and pushed him back to the bed again and handcuffed his hands to the bed to where he was facing up. He grabbed Benjis legs and tied them to the bed to. He smiled and held up his finger, “Be back Benji.” He walked off

Benji pulled at the handcuffs tears going to his eyes. He started screaming, “Help! Someone help me!
Please! Help me!” Tears flooded down his cheeks

His father came back in with a knife from the kitchen. He smiled at Benji.

Benji took one look at the knife and started screaming again

His father walked up, “I have an idea. I will cut you up and leave you here to bleed. Then I will leave way before your brother and mom get home. Anyways Benji, by the time they get home you will be dead.”

Benji looked at him, “Please daddy! Don’t kill me please!” He yelled

His dad bent over him and smiled, “Can’t do that son. God wished this day to come. Now, be a good boy and fight the pain.” He put the knife to Benji’s skin and dug it in.

Benji’s scream filled the house, but no one heard his screams.
