The Truth

Whoops

   I'm tired af, I had a soccer camp yesterday at UNI, and I'm sore everywhere. It was totally worth it though, because the head coach commented on my skills. Anyway Stuart Gibbs owns these characters. Enjoy!

 I sat hugging my knees alone. I missed Ben and mentally slapped myself at the thought. I truly am starting to actually turn into a teenager. What a thought... not a single idea what they're doing to him. So I sat, waiting.

Ben

That walk with Zoe was terrible. She threatened to shoot me if I didn't hold her hand. So now I walked, following her, our hands clasped together. 

——

"Lay down." Zoe ordered with a smirk and I lay down. One doctor came out a needle in their hands. Even though they wore a mask I could easily tell they were grinning. Their suit covered with red, and I don't think it's Kool-Aid. The needle had a pink liquid sloshing around, and that defiantly wasn't pink lemonade. 

Two guards walked up and my eyes went wide. I jumped up and raised my fists. I lashed up catching Zoe on her nose. She fell to the ground, knocked unconscious. The guards chuckled pulling their guns.

"You don't want to kill a kid!" I protested then I kicked a guard in his privates. He groaned and I laughed, but then a large bang echoed. Pain buzzing in my arm. Then I got punched in the face. My nose cracking and I screamed out. It still hurt from when I got kicked by that old lady. Ignoring the pain I kicked out, catching a shin.

Not even noticing the doctor who hid behind me. He grabbed my neck, I lashed out not expecting his strength.

I gagged air not filling my lungs. Choking and wheezing.

"Shhhh." He whispered as I slipped unconscious.

Erica

I heard him before I saw him. His growls and cries echoing down that hallway. Then I saw him his nose gushing blood, and red dripping from his arm. Zoe's nose was turning purple and I smiled.

He didn't run to me but instead stayed glued to Zoe's side. And when I looked closer their hands laced together. Jealousy ignited in my chest and Zoe must of noticed. I tried to push it aside but failed.

He glanced up at me his forest green eyes meeting my bright blue. He crinkled his nose and tilted his head.

"Zoe, who is that?" He asked looking at her with his dazzling smile. My heart swelled and Zoe's did too. For the hundred and one time I mentally slapped myself.

"The enemy." She told him while staring right at me. Her big brown eyes twinkling with happiness. She then looked over at him and leaned in her lips meeting his. I stood blank faced, but Ben yelped in pain when Zoe hit his nose.

Zoe apologized, kissing his cheeks, jaw, and forehead. Ben stared at me and I looked at him. Eventually giving up looking down at my shoes. Well if you consider one pretty screwed up pair of Converses shoes.

"Ben?" Zoe asked removing her lips from his jaw. Ben looked at her, his eyes narrowing. Realization hitting him.

They must of injected me with that pink stuff. Some sort of love potion, no this is not a Disney movie. Zoe can act pretty childish sometimes.

It started wearing off when I saw Erica in that cage. The fact that a pretty girl was stuck in a cage made my blood boil. The black stuff in my veins fueling it, overpowering the 'love potion.'

I pushed Zoe off of me realizing her hands were on my chest. She looked at me horror filling her eyes as I punched her in the gut. She doubled over and I kicked her in the face. Blood splattering, I howled in absolute glee.
