"I'm getting out of here"
This part took place two hours after the "incident"...
[Y/N POV]
Ben stares at me with a small smile. "Hey, Y/N. I missed you."
I hug him tightly, and he wraps his arms around me lovingly.
"I can't believe you escaped. Kash was about to torture you and..."
When I pull away, I wipe a tear from Ben's eye and run a hand though his strawberry-blonde hair. "What matters now is that we're safe."
He leans his forehead against mine. "You're not... m-mad at me are you?"
"Why would I be?"
"For leaving you."
"Of course not, silly. I told you to do that. It was a relief that you did it without much arguing. That would've been much worse for the two of us."
Ben smiles with his face merely centimeters from mine.
"I love you Y/N...""I love you too. I can't believe I never told you that until you did first..."
Our lips get closer and closer and...
I jolt awake.
My head throbs painfully and I blink tiredly around the dark room.
Where's Ben?
Oh right... that was just a dream.
I sigh inaudibly.
And at this moment... I am imprisoned with Kash ready to torture me any day.
I have to get out of here.
But first... rest.
I lean my head and body against the cold metal walls. The empty tables gleam at me and I push some boxes and crates for my legs to lean on.
Sighing in some relief, I dig my hands into the crooks of my armpits, finding a bit of warmth in them.
Disgusting, I know. But relieving? Yeah.
The walls seem to be radiating some type of freezing air, and I shiver.
I need something like a jacket...
My hands tighten around the mint green sweater Ben had given me back when camp in Nublar hadn't even crashed yet. [If you don't remember this, go back to 'The Cattle Drive']
I didn't realize until now that I kept it on all the while, and I wrap it tighter around me.
My heart gives a pang of longing.
I wish...
No actually, I shouldn't start with that. The list is too long to count.
Eyes misty, a tear leaks from them.
I miss Kenji, Caleb, Darius, Brooklyn, Sammy and Yaz. I miss Mae and I miss being with them.
So
Much.
But most of all, I miss Ben. I miss his bright smile, his curious blue-green eyes, his arms that wrap so gently around me for warmth.
I can't believe that it's all over.
Am I really going to die?
Not if I can help it.
I start by stretching my limbs slowly and carefully, feeling a bit of pain every time the muscles contract.
