nueve.

nueve ☹

the front door creaked, and bea jumped, covering her mouth. she knew she was going to scream, but that would only make the situation worse.

"hello? bea? you left the door unlocked." said ben, and bea cried with relief.

running towards the door, she jumped onto ben, almost knocking him over. he hugged her tightly, almost forgetting that he made a promise to ed that she was all his.

and his only.

"i missed you so much." she mumbled into his shoulder.

"likewise bea-brain" he joked and slowly set her down. rubbing his right hand along his neck, he bit his lip and stared at her.

"what," she exclaimed, "you only make that face when your gonna tell me something bad." and he winced, and nodded.

"its not that bad. its just... be careful at school tomorrow, okay?" bea looked at him, her brown eyes wide and curious.

"im always careful, you know that. i know that. what is this all about? and how did you even find out where i live now?!" 

backing up she stared at him, what was once happiness, and joy, turned into anger and fright.

seeing that she was frightened, ben took a hold of her shoulders.

"i know people, okay? that's how i found out about your new house. watch out for ed. and when you see him, you'll know who im talking about. i have to go." he let go of her and turned, running his fingers through his hair nervously.

"i love you bea."

she nodded, "i know."

"don't be so sad, alright?" and she just looked at him.
