Shark Face Love (Ben Haggerty Fan Fic)

Chapter Six

-previously:

Bens POV:

I was confused.

"She's a keeper. She got you the same drink everyday the past month waiting for you to have it with her." My doctor said with a smile.

"Well I kinda wish I could have it today. Right now. With you Beth." I looked at her and smiled.

"Well besides that. You can sign out today. You should be fine to leave."

"Thank you, so Beth. How about we go for Starbucks later?" I turned my attention to her.

The doctor walked out. This is just amazing.

I can't wait for life to start again.

-now:

I'm laying down, we are leaving in a few minutes. But I can't stop thinking. Bethany is sitting next to me. She's holding my hand which makes me feel like I'm above the clouds. Besides that feeling. I am staring at her. Her blue eyes, like the ocean, they make me feel like I'm sailing, her blond hair, straight and long as can be, her lips, they look so soft and so comforting, her soft smile just makes me melt. I don't know why I was given the luck to meet someone so amazing. Why would I be given this chance. She's one in a million. And yeah. I know I don't know much about her. But I know that this has to be right and we were put there in that accident for a reason, though it sucks, I understand. Some tragedies create amazing eternities. Well, I hope this is an eternity.

"Ben.." Bethany says in a low voice.

"Yeah Beth?" she looks scared, it's making me nervous.

"What happens now. What happens next? What will become of losing this month. What will happen with us. What if something bad happens? What if-"

I cut her off. "Bethany, no. We will continue from the beach. I may have been gone for a while but I'm here and I remember us. I remember what happened. And I'm sorry I couldn't say I love you too. The drunk driver knocked me out before I can finish. I love you Bethany Haisley. And for all it's worth, I will fight to make this work - I will never give up on you."

She's crying now, so I talk more.

"How about we have your mom make dinner and I can meet her. Or we can go out for dinner. It will be our first date, sorta. Not really. But I will meet your mom. It will be fine. I can't wait to meet her. I bet she is just as amazing as you."

"Thank you.." she says tightening her grip on my hand a bit. I can tell that she is a bit better with what I said. But she is still upset.

"Ben, I'm so happy I got to meet you back stage. And I'm so happy we are here right now."

"Me too, I don't know what-"

I get cut off when my doctor came in the room as excited as can be, I reach over and wipe the tears away from Bethany's cheeks and I can see her smile.

"Well, good news, when you were out, you basically healed yourself all the way. Just a few doctor visits the next month and you're good. So time to go, you can sign out now, go get some Starbucks." He said, later chuckling when he walked out.

I said nothing, just smiled at him. I stood up. And grabbed Beth's other hand and pulled her up, wrapping my arms around her waist. Whispering in her ear;

"I love you and we can do this."

And I hear her, muffled and upset;

"I love you too Ben, I love you."

I picked my head up and kissed her soft lips as gentle as I could. And then her forehead.

-----------20 minutes later----------

Bethany's POV:

We just walked out and we are heading to my car, I have cried a lot today, and I'm scared to drive. But I have no choice because Ben is all drugged up. So we load up the small bag of things from the room and sit in the car for a minute.

"I'm scared.." is all I can manage to get out, fighting back the tears.

"No. There is nothing to be afraid of, I promise. You are fine. We're fine."

"No. Not that. I'm scared to drive, what if something happens, what if-"

"No, we will be just fine, now let's go, your house, then we can walk to the park and beach maybe?"

"That's perfect" I reply, stunned. I don't know how he is staying so positive, I'm freaking out. But I listen to him.

Before I start the car, I looked at him, he looked back, and I placed my hand on his cheek, and bite my lip, smiling. And I can tell he's happy, I can tell that, in fact, he is right, we will be fine. I lean in, and he does too, lightly connecting, I'm infatuated with a feeling like I'm above the clouds. I'm happy. I'm okay now. Now that he's here. That I can hold him. Everything is getting better again.

----------10 minutes later----------

Bens POV:

We are almost to her house, right around the corner, and I realize that the radio is off, so I turn it on.

The End, by me, is on. Though it's not the same story, it reminds me of Bethany and I. She is saving me, and I need her to save me. I want her to save me.

We are here. I just look at her while she took the key out of the ignition. She looks up at me, she wants to say something. But she waits. She waits for my song to end.

She turns off the radio when it ends and gulps her words, gathering her thoughts;

"Some lines that you wrote, they describe my feelings."

I take over, "With you in my hand like the skyline holds the stars, not letting go, but I can't hold on. Fading through my fingertips, watching us fall I try to catch you with my arms I would never take you for granted when I had you in my palms, to all I ever wanted, please play my song. And put the record to the needle, don't ever touch that off switch. You are perfect..." I say, line for line. Hoping she understands.

"That is.. that's why I'm here. To pick you up when you are down. I love you so much. I can't let go. And I need to get to know you. I love you but I don't know you which stinks. I will fight. Just like you said you would. We can do this. I believe in us."

"I do too Bethany, I do too."

We both get out, not bothering to go inside, we walk down the road, hand in hand, to the park, on the swings. I stare at her, with a smirk. I'm so lucky.

"So Beth, I need to tell you some things you may not have known about me.. Things I need you to know but I am scared to get out."

"I'm here, I'm listening. And I will not leave you now, I will try to stay forever. Make this an eternity." She says looking at me. Smiling.
