My Heart Can't Rest

^"My heart can't rest 'til then. Ooh whoa whoa I, I can't wait to see you again..." - See You Again~Miley Cyrus

Evie's POV

After waking up, I see a note from Cassie on the wall. 'I've gone to school. Don't come. I'll take care of your homework.' That was nice. I take a look outside. Both Liam's and Tommi's cars are parks out front. After a brief looking around, I decide I didn't want to risk seeing them with whatever they're doing. I just turn back up the stairs and get in bed. Once I hit the sheets, it's like I'm glued to them. The mere idea of needing to get up in the future makes me ache. I ache everywhere. It's like my body has given up, so I let it.

--Ben's POV--

The bright sun is muted through the dirt-covered windows of the warehouse, except for the spots where the windows are broken. In those spots, the sun shone like a spotlight, right in my eyes. Blinded by the light, I pull my hand up to cover my eyes. When I am met with resistance, I look down. My wrist is handcuffed. Oh yeah. I shift my body so it's out of the sun, only to be reminded of more pain. As the memories of yesterday flood back to me, I sense someone standing over me.

"Aww, he's like a little puppy. I see why Evie took pity on him." I hear Erik say in a baby voice. I immediately tense up.

"This puppy looks a little tense. We should probably help him with that." I hear Nathan say. I was about to reply when I feel a sharp pinch on my arm. My mind goes blank for a moment. Suddenly, the world around me starts fading in and out. I feel like I'm spinning, even though I am fairly certain I'm just laying on the ground. Pretty soon the ground didn't feel like the ground. I close my eyes.

-le time skip-

"Ben!" Evie yelled, running towards me. Her eyes lit up and her beautiful long hair bounced behind her.

"Evie!" I call back to her. We meet halfway with a hug. I hold her tightly to ensure that I'd never lose her again. It had only been one night, but it had been so long. I don't know how I got out of the warehouse. Maybe she had found me after I passed out.

"I love you" Evie whispers into my chest, making me hold her tighter.

"I love you too" I whisper. I decided that for now, my rescue wasn't of top priority. I'll ask her about that later.

I hear her take a long, deep breath in, followed by her squeezing tighter around my waist. I see her content smile widen a little bit.

"Are you smelling me?" I ask with a chuckle.

"You just smell nice." she replies, blush dusting her cheeks. I lean forward to place a light kiss at the top of her head. As I do, I linger for a little while breathing her in.

"Now, you're smelling me." She giggles.

"You just smell nice." I mock her, taking in another deep breath through my nose.

Something seems off. I don't know what. I move to push her away, but I can't. I take another breath in through my nose. The smell I am smelling isn't that of Evie. Evie always smelled a little bit like lavender. She used it in her laundry detergent, and had some perfume with a lavender scent to it. It was always calming to be around her. I breath in through my nose again. Whatever I'm smelling smells musty, like an old house or an old book. With another breath, I recognize the smell of breathing in dust. Another, the smell of metal. I don't smell lavender, though. That's for sure.

I snap my eyes open. Finding myself in a different room or a different warehouse, I realize I had never been rescued. The next realization to hit me was that my hands were handcuffed behind my back. Upon more movement, I realize the pressure I had felt around my waist was from several layers of duct tape, taping me to the chair. Along with that, I realize my legs are also taped to the legs of the chair. I struggle against the tape to no avail. Everything seems dark, meaning I had to spend another night without even seeing Evie. I'm lost in thought, until I hear several sets of footsteps begin to approach me.

A/N: Teehee. Sorry to fake you out with the whole dream thing, but it felt applicable. Tell me what you guys think about seeing some parts of the story through Ben's point of view. Comment what you think will happen next!! Also-Please comment asking question's if you are confused. I will try to answer them unless it conflicts with any future reveals in this story.

Where do you think Ben is? What do you think will happen to him? Will he actually get rescued?
