Chapter 2: confused

Kessie's POV

After I rested for a while, i couldn't help but think, "Why does Ben love me in a way that's more than a friend?" In the next room I heard a lot of mumbling."Ben?" No more mumbling."Ben I need to ask you something!" Silence."BENJAMIN!" Faint footsteps and then a knock on my bedroom door."Yes Kesslyn?" I rolled my eyes, he knew why I yelled."Come in my bedroom for a couple minutes." The doorknob moved a little and then a little more. Finally, his messy head of black hair came into view. "Kess, I really don't want to discuss this." Once again, another eye roll from me."Ben, apparently this conversation was going to come sooner or later!" His cheeks turned red. "I love you more than a friend okay?! You're so beautiful and talented. Every day, all I want to do is hold you in my arms. Hell, all I want to do is kiss you! Is that what you wanted to hear?"

Ben's POV

My throat hurt so bad from yelling. But every since she found that paper that's all I've wanted to do. We both just stood there staring at each other. Then, to my surprise, she ran to me. I was pushed against the wall. And then we both just looked at eachother. she was just so beautiful. Again she surprises me, she starts kissing me. And I kiss back! Then we fell onto her bed. And she stops, so I stop. I didn't notice why at first, but then I heard it. "BENJAMIN CRAWFORD AND KESSLYN BRANSON I KNOW YOURE HERE! IT IS THE CHILLS! SO SHOW YOURSELVES!" She pushes me off of her and grabs her bag. I quietly go into the other room and get mine. We hop out the window, and start running. And then I hear a scream. Kesslyn falls right at my feet. "KESSLYN!"

Kesslyn's POV

A shot of pain runs throughout me. Gunshots ring through my ears. I scream and fall to the ground. It all seems to go in slow motion. Then I hear my name being called loudly. By Ben. He picks me up and runs. more gunshots and then another fall. That's all I remember.

I wake up feeling sore and tired. Its very dark and moist. It looks like I'm in some kind of cave. "Ben?" A groan and a croaky voice speaks out. "Kess, you're...you're......safe?" Then it all comes flooding back. "Benji, did you get shot too?" I hear him moving and then his voice. "yes, in the leg when I was carrying you and running." I try to feel my surroundings, nothing. "Do you have any idea where we are?" Then I hear nothing. " I MIGHT KNOW WHERE YOU ARE!" I look around for shapes. "Hello?" Silence. "Hello?!" then I hear rustling. "Why did you want to find your mom? Didn't you think of the consequences? Your execution...Chaff? I was shaking and very frightened. "WHO ARE YOU?", I yelled. "Why, you should know me Kesslyn, I'm the one who let you get away." Martin Ringwald.
