Eye Candy

Chapter 8

I run into Amy's apartment with so much fear it makes the hair on my neck rise. My body is filled with chills and goose bumps. All I am hoping for is that Ben is okay.

"Ben!" I scream out as loud as I could.

"Ben please, answer me!" I scream again, but still no answer. I walk around her halls very cautious and aware that anybody can jump out of anywhere in no time. I walk into the next room and find this all white body figure looking thing and it's arms are held out with a laptop on it. I look at it sobbing , this makes no sense. I now know somebody is watching me, my every move. I'm pretty sure they know why I'm here too. "Answer me". I say yelling at the computer.

"You want your little precious boy back?" it types on the screen.

"Yes, give him back to me." I say sobbing tears rolling down my face. "Please... Please don't hurt him! , this is all my fault!" I scream. I have completely giving up. I want Ben back! If I lose him, I'll have nothing left. All of a sudden Ben pops up on the screen. He's tied up with his hands behind his back. He's blood red and he's sweating. "Lindy" he calls.

"Ben!" I call.

"I'm sorry" he says in sadness. A deep voice in the background demands him to "say it". It's a man. Ben refuses.

"If he doesn't say it, he dies". They say intensely. That makes me cry even harder. Tear by tear following not even a second apart. I beg and plead for them not to hurt him.

"Say what?! , W-what is h-he supposed to say?!" I scream , my voice cracking from crying. The voice tells Ben to say it once again. Ben refuses and the laptop goes black again.

"NO!" I cry harder than ever.

"Don't hurt him, please don't! He's my everything! Take me, not him!" I scream and sob. Then I remember. The background has bars in the back. Bars is on the flat roof. I jump up and run to the top, and there is Ben.. He's seating in a chair. Hands still behind his back by a white rope. His head is down with blood coming from his neck. His face is red with a tear coming from his eye. I knee down to him and cry uncontrollably. "This is all my fault" I sob. "Ben I'm so sorry, I'm- I'm s-so sorry". Eventually I get up, wipe my tears and walk away....
