-In between I'll tell you everything I know.

I entered, and within a few minutes both Jadusable and I were sitting on chairs when he started to count:
-Ben Drowned was my best friend. His real name was Benjamin Peters, he was a very funny and very nice guy. It all started with a harmless game ...
(Author's note: In Benjamin's past that I am going to put now, it is not true but I will be inspired by some details that I remember seeing somewhere but I don't know where. Ben Drowned's story: https: // aminoapps. com / c / creepypastabr_pt / page / item / the-story-of-ben-drowned / bN45_JjYTnIvQM52zZkem1Wv2aRXGp6D1M).
------------------------ Beginning of Memories (Jadusable point of view) ---------------- -------------
Benjamin had just bought the game he wanted so much Legends Of Zelda: Majoras'Mask, and we had agreed that every day at the end of school, I would stop by his house and play together. Nothing wrong, he was so happy it looked like he had won the lottery.
A week passed, and every day after school I went to his house. He was happy every time he achieved something new in the game.
However 2 weeks passed, then 3 and when it was exactly 1 and a half months since he started playing, he decided to take the game to school. That day he told me that he was close to discovering the secret end of the game, he looked really excited.
But he also told me that he was having some problems, not only at school but at home. Benjamin was not much to leave the house to go to friends or anything, and he rarely left his own room. He told me that he was worried about leaving the cartridge at home because of his drunken father who complained about the fact that Benjamin had no interest in leaving the room. Of course, I already knew that he was tormented by Matt and the group of bullies, but I didn't know what he was capable of.
That day while we were at lunch break, Benjamin left the cartridge in his backpack, when we returned, we saw Matt and his group fiddling with Benjamin's backpack and stealing the game, for fear of being beaten we were silent at that moment, but after classes Benjamin and I decided to talk to a teacher.
After the teacher heard what we had to say, she called Matt and his group, and told them to return the cartridge to Benjamin. Matt angrily asked why they say it was him if there was no evidence and Benjamin's answer was, "I saw it." Now she wished he hadn't said that. Annoyed Matt returned the cartridge but on the way out of the room he whispered: "Oh, you see, now you won't see it anymore", at the time I didn't understand what he meant by that but I think he would have preferred not to know.
When I was going home, Benjamin asked me to keep the game until he went home, because he still had to stay at school, and I did this favor. I went home and waited for his call.
It was 6 pm and I didn't receive anything, suspecting something and fearing the worst, I went looking for him. I found him at the foot of a river that was at the foot of his house, but he was not alone, he was with Matt and the group and with ... THE FATHER.
He was lying on the ground while being beaten by Matt, when out of nowhere Matt starts to gouge his eyes with a sharp object, while his father remained quiet laughing. As for me, I froze in fear, and I couldn't do anything, tears were falling from my eyes as I watched that scene. Then the father takes him and says that if Benjamin had obeyed him this would not have happened, and threw him into the river. Of course, Benjamin was too weak to swim, while I stood in statue in pure panic and crying a river of tears, as I was incompetent.
Out of nowhere, police sirens are heard, it seems that a neighbor had warned her about hearing the screams. They left but they ended up coming across me and realized that I knew everything. After they are gone, I run to my friend's help, even though I know it was too late, I help his body and remain with that lifeless body in my arms while crying, feeling hatred, anger but mainly guilt.
A few days after Benjamin's death, his father knocks on my door and says that if I told someone that he killed me.
