Welcome To The Fallout - A Crown The Empire fic

We are not meaningless

Bennett got my suitcase and we both walked back into the tour bus. I desprately wanted to leave. I didn't want to deal with anyone or anything, besides Bennett. Brandon's comments kept replaying in my mind. I felt like I was just being used. It seemed like I was just another girl to him. Or prize. I'm aware I'm more than that. 

Bennett checked the inside of the bus while I waited outside. I didn't want to go inside first, because I didn't want to encounter anything with anyone else right now. My mind was cluttered with thoughts of what just happened. I kinda just wanted to go away with Bennett somewhere. Bennett put his hand out and I put my hand in his, then got inside the RV behind him. He looked both ways and ran towards the room where I was put in with Brandon and shut the door. The only people inside were Bennett and I. Phew. Not too bad for timing. 

"Thank you." I whisper to Bennett as he put my suitcase by the wall beside the door. 

"You're so very welcome, you don't deserve to go back to your parents, you deserve to follow your dreams." Bennett kissed my cheek. 

I blushed, "You're so kind. I don't know how I could ever repay you..." I replied.

"There's no need, I'm fine the way I am and I'm hoping you are too." He smiled.

"I'm okay with who I am and who I'm with now." I walked over to the empty bed and buried my head in one of the pillows.

"Whom are you talking about?" Bennett asked, crashing onto the bed beside me.

I turned my head, "You." I replied.

"Really? Are you just saying that?" He laughed.

"No, I really mean it." I leaned closer to Ben.

Ben leaned closer towards me and tilted his head a little and closed his eyes. I leaned with him and kissed his lips. Bennett got a little closer to me, I did the same. I pulled away. He pulled me onto him and our lips crashed against each others for a second time. Ben's lips parted from each other. I tilted my head and his lips clung in between mine. 

I pulled away once again. "What was that for?" I asked.

"I really did care about you, unlike Brandon..." Bennett stuttered.

Tears started to form in my eyes. I knew that he would care... He wouldn't treat me like that if he only wanted me for sexual favors. Bennett was the only person I could really talk to here and that moment is something I won't forget. I know I need to keep him around...

"I just can't do this..." I reply laying my head on his chest.
