Bennys Pov

"I'm telling you, E, she literally reached for my hand", I tell him.

"She could've been trying to push you away", he sighs.

"She didn't move away at all, and she kind of tilted her head up and stared at me for like a full on minute", I recap.

"Maddy? Liking you? In your biggest dream", Ethan laughs.

"Hmph", I say. "Don't you have to prepare for your babysitter soon?" I throw at him.

"Yeah".

I go down to get the door while Ethan showers.

"Heyyyyy Maddy", I drawl.

"Hey Benny", she says.

I flop back onto Ethans bed. "So", she says while she rests her head on my leg. "When's the babysitter coming?" She sighs.

"Uhm......five minutes", I check.

"I'm gonna do the dye tomorrow when my moms gone", she decides.

"Then I'll be there".

"She's here", Ethan says as the doorbell rings again.

Ethan opens his door and walks down, bursting back in two minutes later.

"What?" I ask. He ignores me and sprints right into his bathroom, and then his closet, and then back out.

"Did he have a-" Maddy starts.

"Suit on?" I laugh. She swings off the bed and leans over the staircase. "Oh my god, it's that girl", we gasp at the same time.

"Benny, Maddy, guess what?" Ethan hissed at us from the bottom.

"Her friend went to some party so Sarah is filling in", he says excitedly.

She's way out of Ethans league.

"Go get her then", I say weakly.

Maddy and I sneak back upstairs. "Wanna watch a movie?" I ask.

"Only if it's The Hunger Games". (K I know that mbav came out before the hunger games but im going with it).

Maddys Pov

"You know, we're like Gale and Katniss", Benny starts.

"Yep", I agree.

"But we could try to be Peeta and Katniss".

"Nope".

"I'm not gonna give up", he tells me determined.

"I know", I groan into his arm.

"I think we should just-" he gets cut off by the door flying open.

"She doesn't have a reflection", Ethan tells us.

"Huh?"

"The babysitter doesn't have a reflection. She was in the bathroom and I went to check on her and she was standing in front of the mirror and she wasn't showing up in the mirror", Ethan tells us hysterically.

"Ethan. She has a reflection", I tell him gently.

"Are you okay?" Benny asks. There's this crazy look in Ethans eyes.

"Hm. Mhm. Fine."

"Hey guys?" Sarah says from the doorway. "I gotta go, for a little bit. Can you guys handle uh- yourselves?" She asks.

"Yep. Mhm. Got it.", I tell her.

"Thanks".

Ethan stays silent until she leaves. "Janes in kitchen".

"What the-" Benny says as we're on the stairs and someone knocks on the door. "Sarah probably forgot something", I guess.

"Pizza!" A low voice yells.

"Ethan, did you order-" he shakes his head.

"Benny?" I ask. "N-no".

"Jane must've ordered it", I realize.

I open the door and get a weird feeling. "Hey", the pizza guy says.

"Hey. How much?" I ask. He stares me down.

"Where's Sarah?" He asks.

"What?"

"Where's Sarah?" He growls and throws the pizza box to the side, stepping towards me.

"Dude what are you-" I start to ask him while backing up.

Someone from behind grabs my arm and yanks me against his body, wrapping their arm around my waist.

It's Benny. "Dont touch her", he snaps.

"I'll do what I want", the guy sneers.

"Jane, come here! Now!" I yell.

"Ethan, take her upstairs", i murmur.

"Whatever you think you're going to do, don't", Ethan warns me.

I grab the vase behind me and smash it over the guys head.

"You did it anyways!" Ethan yells as he runs up.

"That i did", I tell him as I drag Benny up the stairs.

"Cool", Benny laughs.

"How can you laugh when that guy is still chasing us?" I yell. We make it to Ethans room and I grab his dresser. "Benny, help", I tell him. He pushes it against the door just as the guys hand goes through the door.

"Well what now?" I groan.

"I- uh, Sarah's not here!" Benny yells. He still relentlessly tries to open the door. "Ethan", I start. "Give me your trophies".

He doesn't ask me anything, but just presses it into my hand. The hole in Bennys door gets bigger. I wince as the trophie comes in contact with the guys hand.

He yells and stumbles back. He kicks the door down and it goes soaring against the wall. "You're gonna regret that", he says angrily at me.

I step back behind Benny. "She's not gonna regret anything", Benny tells him.

"Move, tough guy".

"No".

Someone from the doorway snatches him by his collar and tosses him out the window. He wheezes as his back hits the ground.

"You good?" Sarah asks.

"Perfect. Uh. Sarah who was that?" I ask.

"Later. I have to go", she repeats.

"Hey, look", Benny says. He lifts up his phone. "Rory got invited to a party?" I say in disbelief.

"What party?" Sarah says as she snatched the phone.

"Oh my god. Of course", she sighs.

"Where are you going?" I ask her.

"Save your friend. Save my friend", she says calmly. "We're coming", I tell her.

"No you're not".

"Yeah? Try me".

"I'll go get Granny's car", Benny says.
