The Dangerous Game

Chapter Four

It isn't right that Benny had to go through this. I mean come on he was way too nice to deserve this. It wasn't right but there was nothing I could do about it now. And even though I felt responsible I had a feeling one way or another Benny would be been involved anyway.

So there was no point in wishing that I could change what happened.

Right now Benny, Anthony and I were preparing to make a YouTube video and it wasn't something that could magically be done with a snap of a finger. These things took time which was why we were going to pull and all nighter and have it up the next day.

Benny had gone out to get some supplies that we needed for the  theme of the video and he should've been back by now. I wasn't worrying too much but I was concerned.

Anthony of course being my best friend saw that something was bothering me and he sighed.

"He's just running late. I'm sure he's fine." Anthony said.

I looked up at him and gave a small nod. "Uh-huh. Yeah okay."

"Don't worry." Anthony smiled at me, before turning back to the tv he was sitting in front of. I found myself staring at Anthony and I felt an urge to walk over to him and run my fingers through his hair and kiss him...wait what?!

I shook my head trying to clear it. Anthony was my best friend. I didn't want to be more than best buds...did I? And besides I had a girlfriend. Ashley.

Ashley.

Yeah Ashley. At the moment she was at work and couldn't stay for the video.

I thought about her but my thoughts turned to Anthony as I wondered if he was a good kisser. I groaned inwardly and ran a hand through my hair.

Why was I having these thoughts?

Anthony's POV
I thought about what it would feel like to kiss Jesse. Was he a good kisser? Would he think I was?

I'm not gonna lie. I've had a crush on Jesse since the first grade. But of course he had to be straight and like girls. Not boys. And definitely not me. To be honest I was jealous of Ashley.  She had no idea how good she had it.

Jesse was the nicest guy you'd ever meet apart from Benny and of course, as everyone knew Niall Horan. Which made me wonder how Jesse would react to me confessing my feelings for him.

He's probably be surprised and cool about it but he'd also most likely shrug it off as 'just a crush'.

|||||||
I sighed and flipped through the channels. Despite what I said earlier about Benny being fine I was starting to get worried myself. He should have been back by now. It's been five hours since he left.

"Ugh. Where are you Benny?" I mumbled to myself.

He had left around five and it was now ten pm and we haven't gotten a call from him. What if something happened to Benny? This was really bad.

I was startled out of my thoughts by a loud frantic knocking on the front door. I glanced at Jesse and he frowned.

"Jesse open the door! It's me! It's Benny!" A familiar voice exclaimed.

I shot off the couch and rushed to the front door. I threw it open and Benny pushed inside, holding a couple store bags with things for the video. The minute he was inside he collapsed onto the couch and we were bombarding him with questions.

"What took you so long?" I demanded while Jesse said,

"Where the hell were you?"

Benny was breathing hard and was trying his best to catch it. He let out a long shaky breath.

"The clown was following me. I didn't know until he started chasing me." Benny let out a deep breath. "I barely got away."

As much as I wanted to freak out right now I needed to stay calm. Not just for myself but for Benny and Jesse.

"Okay. Did he say anything?"

Benny shook his head. "Other than laughing...no."

What the hell was this clown planning?
