Tori's POV

"Get me out of here." I screamed at Hannah's sister Megan.

"Okay, okay. No need to scream at me. Jesus Christ." Megan said.

She signed some papers or something. I couldn't really see what happened but after some shuffles outside Megan opened the door.

"Come on, your moms already pissed enough. Oh and you have to get your car out of the tow place." She gently helped me up and helped me put some of my clothes that I left at Hannah's house.

"Shit, Calum!" I said as I grabbed my phone which was miraculously still in my purse.

As I said the words I heard a gasp.

"How do you know Calum?" A girls voice said.

"Calum Hood?" I swung around to find a beautiful girl with a sweater on that I had only seen once before. "Oh my god, I've seen you before.." I recognize her, but I don't know where from.

"It's all a charade, Calum doesn't like you." She whispered and walked off.

"What the hell?" I could not process what was happening in my brain.

What am I suppose to do with something that might not be true.. But she had Calum's sweater on. I had seen a picture of him before wearing it hugging a girl.. Maybe that was her, I hadn't really seen her face before. She's beautiful, I can see why he would love her, not me.

"Tori!!" I heard a scream as a car sped up and almost bulldozed me over.

I was laying on the ground to see Ben on top of me. "Are you okay? Oh my god!" Megan screamed, she was a spitting image of Hannah.. Yelled like her too.

The only love lost is the one never used. Love is by far the deepest emotion of the human body, you allow yourself to get broken in places you'd never be able to fix. Once you're too broken to be saved, even if its a day or a year, you will find someone who will save you. They could have been there since you were two or 16. You will never know who you are or who you love until you are actually happy and have met your match. You can't really explain love. Love is different for every person, every human, every life form.

"Ben, what the hell?!" I screamed.

"Your boy Calum? Him and his mom are part of a drug reign and they nearly killed you because they found you of value to get their money back. Ever since your first interaction with him 5 years ago my family and I have been assigned to watch you and finally take them down." Ben helped me up and explained.

"I'm sorry, what?" I nonchalantly spoke.

I have no clue idea what the hell was going on. Calum has a sister, why would he, what does he.. What? That's what that whole fiasco at the beach was. How the hell did they find me here?

"Did you just listen to anything I said?" Ben questioned.

"Yeah, um.. no." I said.

"C'mon, my dad and I are coming with you to get your stuff and I promise I will explain all of it." Ben walked me to his car and he drove me to the tow company.

"So what do you mean you have been assigned to watch over me?" I leaned back in the seat because I had a headache.

"Well, technically not me, but my father. He's the agent assigned to your case. He is the one that is supposed to be keeping you safe but you have made it a little harder when your family moved to Texas. You're getting assigned a new body guard once you get back to Texas. Oh and Tori, it wasn't my job to but I actually did fall in love with you.. I wasn't doing my job, I was supposed to keep you safe and I'm sorry." Ben drilled a deeper hole in my head then there was from before.

"Ben.. I-" He leaned over and kissed me.

"Ben.. I can't, I love you but not like that. I'm 17 and I don't even know what love is, I'm sorry." We arrived at the tow place and I was greatful because the silence was killing me.

"How much?" I said as I walked over and got my car.

After an hour of talking I got my car and I was ready to go.

"Thank you Ben, for everything. Goodbye." I gave him a quick kiss on his cheeks and I left.

If only it were that easy with Calum.
