^"Where'd you go" by Fort Minor feat. Mike Shinoda ~ title of song that reminds me of this part

Ben's POV

"Do you think Evie will show up today. It's the her last chance." Erik says. It's still dark, implying that it was probably early morning.

"It's Friday?" I ask, confused. Did I really sleep through Thursday? I'm extremely dizzy. I haven't eaten anything for a while, so that might be why. I just want to get out of here. I want to make sure Evie is okay.

"It is Friday. You've been asleep for at least 20 hours straight." He explains.

"Don't hurt Evie. That includes her friends." I say sternly. Erik just laughs and raises his hand as if to back-hand me. I turn my face away, bracing for impact.

"You're a coward pretending to be brave. If it weren't for your precious Evelyn, you would've surrendered to my control a while ago." Erik sneers. Finally, it comes. *SMACK* He hits me with so much force I black out.

Evie's POV

"Evie! You need to go to school." Cassie yells as she pulls the blanket off of me.

"Nooooooo." I groan, rolling over.

"Suit yourself." She says, giving up on making me go to school. "Did you have any bad dreams?" She asks worried.

"Just the same one, over and over again." I jump up and start washing my hands, scrubbing hard. I can't stand the thought of hurting Ben.

"Okay, I'll get you some zzzquil or something so you can get some actual sleep." Cassie calls as she leaves the house. I stop scrubbing. Tommi was right, my hands are getting chapped and it hurt. I find some of Cassie's lotion and rub it on my hands.

My phone buzzes.

Erik 😈: Why aren't you at school sweetheart?

Me: Because I'm not feeling well

Erik 😈: Too bad. Maybe I could make you feel better.

Me: Leave me alone.

Erik 😈: Missing your little Benny-boy? Maybe some of your other friends should do a better job consoling you.

After that text I ignore him. I hate that he had to bring up Ben. Not only did he metaphorically stab me, but now he's metaphorically twisting the knife. My phone buzzes again.

Tommi: Cassandra was just called to the office. She mouthed off at Erik in the hall earlier today. If he's taking her now, that means he's not affraid to go off the schedual.

Me: Shit!

I don't know what else to say. If Cassie's gone, I might as well give up now. I crawl into Cassie's bed, where I've been sleeping for the past week, and cry, letting all the anger, worry, and fear spill out of me. I needed Ben, but Cassie had been there for me when he was gone. How much worse could this possibly get? I shouldn't ask that question, life will take that as a challenge.



A/N: Yay! 2 updates today. This part is quite a bit shorter, but there will be plenty more action/drama in the parts to come so don't worry.

Comment what you think comes 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.

What do you think everyone's drugs are? Will Ben and Cassie be kept together? Is Erik breaking plans? Will this affect their future plans if he is? What'll happen to Cassie now? How will Tommi react in person? Will they try to get them out?

~Also it's come to my attention that some readers aren't reading this story in order or in its entirety. This story isn't like a one-shot collection. This story does, in fact, build upon the previous parts.
