I'll Be Your Light In The Darkness [brustoff]

Chapter Twenty Six

Denis POV

"What do you mean you can't look for him unless it been 24 hours?!" Shouted James on the phone as I paced up and down biting my nails.

What if he's dead? What if he never comes back?
"Some help you are!" Spat James before hanging up the phone.

James walked over to the couch, sitting down, hands over his face. "What are we going to do?" He muttered.

That's when my mobile rang, the caller ID was a private number. Was this Ben's kidnapper?

"Answer it" spoke Cameron
Nervously I answered placing the phone by my ear "h-hello"
"Hi...um...Denis?" It was Ben's voice "Ben?! were are you?! we've been worried about you!"

"S-something happened last night and I....I need you to come and get me...please" he whispered.
"Where are you?"
"I'm a couple of streets away from my apartment...I lost my phone so I've had to use a pay phone...please come and get me" he whimpered.

"Ok I'll drive down now, stay at the pay phone I won't be long baby" I said before hanging up.
"It's Ben he's at a pay phone a couple of streets away...he doesn't sound good" I explained to them.

"Well let's go!" Called Sam grabbing the car keys before everyone followed behind, leaving the apartment. James and Cameron sat in the front while Sam sat in the back with me as we drove down the streets looking for him.

"Ben?! Ben?!" We called down the streets hoping we would find him. That's when I noticed something, as we drove to the nearest pay phone I looked to see someone crouching down on the floor inside the pay phone.

"Wait stop the car!" I called and James quickly pulled up at the side of the road. Quickly I got out my car to the pay phone to see Ben crouched down on the floor crying.

I opened the door stepping in before wrapping my arms around him "hey it's ok I'm here now" I whispered holding onto him. Ben turned around to face me before pulling himself into my embrace.

"Where have you been, I heard you're voice message and I feared the worse"
"D-Danny kidnaped me..." He sobbed. My eyes widened and I felt anger begin to boil through me.
"He wanted me to be with him....h-he realised what he was doing and let me go" he explained his voice sounding slightly jumpy.

"Where is he?"
"I-I-I took him to his band to live with them...b-but they d-don't know he kidnapped me" he continued.

I placed both hand on each side of his face, bringing his head up to look at me "did he hurt you?...did he touch you?" I asked in panic as I began to fear the worse of what Danny could have done.

Ben shook his head "n-no not even laid a finger on m-me" he muttered.
"I-I'm just upset because when I t-took him to theirs I-it hit me h-how much I've ruined his life that he k-kidnapped me...w-what's so special about me?..." He continued.

"Danny lost you ages ago..he had you but he was stupid enough to let you go...to be honest you are an asshole" I said causing him to let out a little chuckle as his sobs started to calm down.

"I'm kidding you're only a bit of an asshole but you're funny and kind, you where there for me when I needed you, you're always there to cheer me up when I'm down and never once have you doubted me or left me for someone else...and you're so beautiful Ben I love you so much" I explained before leaning forward to press my lips against his.

We both quickly pulled away before looking into each others eyes "we should leave the wedding today...just have it next week or something" I suggested as I roamed my fingers through his hair.
"But it's suppose to be today?" He muttered.

"Wedding is suppose to be the happiest day of our lives but this isn't the way I think we should celebrate getting married especially what you went through last night and this morning...Cameron has already contacted everyone on the guest list so I think we should reschedule" I suggested.

Ben nodded his head "o-ok"
"The others are in the car" I said helping him up and walking to the car.

Ben climbed in first next to the end window while I sat in the middle and Sam sat on the other end. Cameron and James turned around to look at Ben "I'll explain at home" he muttered.

They all nodded their heads, turning back round as James started the car. It was quiet on the way back. I wrapped my arms around him every so often kissing the top of his head.

*time lapse*

We both lay in bed for most of the day after Ben explained what happened to him. James wanted to hunt Danny down but Ben had to persuade him for about ten minutes not to go after him.

"I'll be back in a sec" I said getting up walking to the bathroom. I turned the taps on and put the plug in as I decided to run a hot bath for him.

"What are you doing?" I turned around to see Ben standing behind me with a blanket wrapped around himself.
I turned the tap off before giving him a soft smile "for me?" He asked.

"Yeah I thought you might need one" I muttered. He raised his eyebrows before chuckling a little "thanks" he said sarcastically.
"I don't mean that way I mean it might help you relax after everything today" I said nervously.

Ben gave a soft smile before I went to head out the room. That's when I felt Ben's hand grab my arm. "Join me" he a spoke softly.

I bit my lip nervously before nodding my head, before undressing with him and climbing into the bath. I felt Ben's arms wrap around me before he lay down in the bath pulling me with him.

"You ok?" I asked him breaking the silence between us.

"I-I think so...it just took me by surprise, I never thought Danny would ever do anything like that...he wanted us to run away somewhere else...I felt sorry for him...but I don't love him, not anymore, he let me go and I had to calm him down, I took him to where the rest of his band were living and asked if he could stay with them because Danny had been feeling lonely...I never mentioned what happened and when I left I just...I just broke down because I was in shock of what had just happened" explained Ben I just sat and listened to what he had to say, I prefer him telling what's on his mind instead of keeping everything to himself.

"I should have kept you in view last night it's my fault" I muttered
"It's not you're fault, non of us knew that was going to happen" he responded rubbing my arms.

"I'm just glad I have you" he muttered pressing his lips on my shoulder. I grabbed his hands from in front of me before gently kissing them.

We both lay in the bath for a while in silence before we both climbed out and dried ourselves. I wrapped a towel around myself before going to search for something to wear.

Ben grabbed hold of my hands to stop me "come to bed" I turned around to see he had a smirk on his face still completely naked. He held my hand before walking over to the bed with me.

"We don't have to do anything sexual...much" he smirked before pressing his lips against mine, hands sliding down my sides, removing the towel from around my waist, gently dropping it to the floor.

Ben gently bit his lip before looking me up and down causing me to blush. "I want to but we shouldn't..the others are still awake, I can hear them" he spoke.
"Since when did you follow rules?" I asked with a playful smirk leaning forward closer to his lips.
"Well I'd rather not have James come in, wanking off to us fucking" he chuckled completely ruining the moment.

"That's for that image" I said.
"You love me really" he smirked before pulling me into the bed, under the covers with him.

This is probably the longest chapter I have written so far for this story :p
