Un-Break My Heart

^title of a song by Toni Braxton

Ben's POV

"Benny, boy." I hear Erik's sickening voice approach behind me. I say nothing in response.

"Hey, Ben. We're talking to you." Paul growls. I still don't reply.

"Alright, have it your way." Erik says harshly. "Do you know where Evie was today?" He asks, making my eyes widen in fear. Evie. What had he done to my Evelyn? He, Paul, and a few others still behind me laugh. I just glare at Erik. He stops laughing and smacks my face with the back of his hand. "I'll have you know, that your precious Evie wasn't at school today." Oh god. I think I'm going to be sick.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER?!" I scream, rage boiling through my veins. A wave of laughter runs through the crowd again.

"Oh nothing Ben. I just enjoy toying with you." He says with a smirk. "I'll have you know, Evelyn wasn't at school today. I think I heard something about Cassandra getting homework for her." He says, pondering the moment.

"Don't touch her either." I spat at him.

"I'll give your little angel until the end of the week to show up. If she doesn't, anything's up for grabs. Evelyn Wilson will be mine. Not because I need her, no. Because she needs me in control of her life." He whispers that last part in my ear, making me shudder. He then turns on his heal and walks away saying, "Now you and Cassandra are reliant upon Evie's ability to comply."Oh dear...

Evie's POV

Finally, Tommi thinks he knows where Ben is, and we're going to go rescue him tonight.

I approach a giant building made of old, rustic, red bricks on the outside. The windows of the place have either been boarded up, or are permanently stained by dirt. There are a few windows, however, that have been broken. All of them are up high though. Tommi's working with me, while Liam and Cassie are working together on their part of the opperation. We round the corner of the building, looking for any sign of other people. No one. My hands shake as I realize, once again, that I am holding a fairly large pocket knife. I just hoped I wouldn't have to use it. Suddenly, we hear angry voices. Tommi goes around the corner we just came from to see what's going on there. A tall, dark figure comes around the other corner I am now standing near. It stops before me. I can't see who it is. I open the knife just in case. The figure starts running towards me. In a panic, I thrust out my hand with the knife, stabbing the person's side. "Ev?" Ben's strained voice croaks, as he falls to the ground.

I quickly slide closer to him. "Ben?" I ask holding his face in my now blood-stained hands. I search his features for any sign of life. His face is etched in pain, but his eyes are soft and loving. "Benny! Talk to me!" I practically scream at him. I couldn't stand the silence.

"I love you Evie" Ben says in a whisper, before going limp. I go hysterical, crying and screaming out. I don't care who hears me now. My heart shatters into a million pieces. My brain goes numb. All I know how to do in this moment, is cry.

"Evie! Evie!...EVIE!" a voice calls, shaking me awake. I look up at the rightfully freaked out Cassie. Worry filling her eyes. I curl up and cry into her shoulder. "It's okay, Evie. It was just a bad dream." I nod at her words. Just a dream. Ben's still okay as far as I know.

"I think I'll stay home again today." I tell Cassie, who nods. I look over her shoulder, noting on her calendar it said Wednesday.

A/N: Oops!...I did it again | I played with your heart, got lost in the game... Sorry-ish

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.

The dreams serve an actual purpose to show just how addicted they are to each other. Evie's dream is supposed to represent her fears of what may happen to Ben, not necessarily in her hands, but in general. She fears losing him. She's not a total psycho who wants him dead by any means.

Do you think Cassie's in actual danger? Is Erik just bluffing? (remember the post-it note?) Will Evie go to school that week? Tell me what you think.
