In the book Mel is with Ben. But they broke up, because Mel doesn't trust Ben. But in the end of the book, they found back to each other.

I have a friend, three years ago she and her boyfriend was together but it didn't work so they broke up, because it didn't work between them, not enough trust. Two years go, but finely they found a way back together.

Love is not easy, and it isn't better when you don't can trust the one your in love with.

Character Tracer

•Ben-
As I see it, Ben are a person with status. He been invited to de coolest parties. Like he is in the party-world. He isn't that nice gay who you can be your self whit. It's more a game to him. If you are beautiful you can be with /around him. But hi have to hold his status up. It's weird, because in the book hi isn't like that.
When them wroth about him in the book, hi is a nice gay who doing what hi should. So I am not sure, but I really can't see him as a nice, little boy.
