I don't own the characters (trust me I wish I did, seriously… I did.)
I hope you enjoy! Please Read and Review!
Also this is my FIRST FanFic.
This fan fiction is in three different POV's (Tory, Ben's and Jason's) mostly Tory and Ben though)
Chapter 1 ~ Tory
I'm walking along the beach with Coop, my wolf dog, still wishing I were back on Morris Island. Thinking back to when I first arrived at Morris and met the Virals. Now, I'm 590 miles away in Pensacola, Florida. Kit was offered a job at the University of West Florida to become a professor or something there.
Instead, of staying as director of LIRI, he took the job. We packed up and moved those 590 miles, away from Morris, the Virals and Bolton. Actually, I don't miss Bolton that much. I pretty much was a social outcast, even with the Virals at my side. Plus, Madison and Chance knew my secret... Jason was my only non-Morris friend anyway. Other than my Morris pack and Jason I was alone.
Actually, Whitney was thrilled about "getting off that stupid little island" as she put it. She never actually said that to Kit, but as soon as he was out of the room when we were packing I heard her mutter it under her breath. If asked, I would never admit this, thinking back to the Virals, I miss them A LOT. Oddly, especially Ben... Every time we weren't on some adventure or something I got butterflies when I was alone with Ben, or even if we were all together.
I'm shook from my thoughts when I feel a nudge on my leg and I look down to see Cooper. Oh, yeah. I forgot he was with me... I walk to catch him as he runs away from me.
Chapter 2 ~ Ben
As Shelton, Hi and I sit in the bunker the only noise we hear is the sound of the ocean waves lapping against the beach. Now that Tory's gone the only thing we do in the bunker is sit in silence. I look over at Shelton and he's fiddling with some contraption, looking uncomfortable in the process. I'm about to ask him what it is when Hi speaks up and says:
"You guys wanna get out of here?"
He doesn't have to say why, we all know. Now that Tory's gone it reminds us all of her too much…
As I steer, Sewee, she wasn't that badly damaged during Hurricane Katelyn, towards Morris we ride in silence. Like always. Shelton's not fiddling with the thing he was when we were in the bunker, and is sitting still and Hi right next to Shelton, looking like he's about to get sick. I gently push the throttle a little harder and then the boat speeds up. Too late, til we get to shore, I see Hi puke over the side of the boat out of my peripheral.
When we get back to Morris we dock and head our separate ways. All of us alone… Tory would have wanted to meet up somewhere to do SOMETHING. I can't be thinking of her. Ugh…
Chapter 3 ~ Jason
I walk through the halls of Bolton academy expecting to see Tory walking through the halls, with the boys on her heels, but when I only see Shelton, Hi and Ben, I remember that Tory's gone. Florida. That's where she moved… I miss her. As, I walk to my next class I think back to when she told me she was moving. I was having party at my _. She had asked to talk privately. At first, I had wondered why. I was thinking that she was going to tell me she had feelings for me, not wanting Ben to know after last school year's fiasco with the whole, Cotillion thing. I think they got past the whole 'I've-secretly-had-feelings-for-you-all-along' from Ben... Then again, it could have been the alcohol… But all, signs of drunkenness vanished and a feeling of pain and sadness replaced all alcohol feelings. She told me, she was moving in a month. The shock hit me so hard that I just stood there, blocking out the party around me, letting the feeling of her being gone sink in. I stood there until she asked:
"Jason, you okay?"
Not wanting to hurt her or make her feel bad I said:
"Yeah, I'm fine."
"I know its sudden but-" She cut herself off. Then I see some random drunk guy stumble over back to the bar.
Out of nowhere, she wrapped her arms around me and before I could hug her back, she pulled back and walked away. After she was out of my sight, I walked over to Hi, Ben and Shelton and said:
"Did you guys know that?"
Instead of an answer I got Hi looking down at hi feet, Shelton looking everywhere, but at me, and Ben staring at me and slowly started to nod.
"Well, I see 'ya guys later." And I walked away.
Chapter 4 ~ Tory
Every pack has its alpha. My pack lost its alpha…me. I abandoned my pack. Not totally out of choice, but still. I left them. Hi, Shelton and Ben. Ben… Making sure no one was around I dug into my mind and tried to reach them.
SNAP
I feel a barrier and push hard to break it, then once I think I broke it I mind whisper:
"Hi, Shelton, Ben… anyone hear me?"
Next to me, Cooper's ears perk up.
One reply: "Me hear."
Not getting their replies I try harder,
"Hi, Shelton, Ben… Virals. Are you there?"
Suddenly, I hear one thought:
"My head hurts."
"HI!" I say excitedly, accidently yelling.
In return, I hear three OW's, and what was that. Then, I hear one voice. It says one thing…
"Tory?"
Right away I know whose voice it is. Ben! It's Ben. He can hear me. I try to send them an image of where I am. But, suddenly before I can say anything or do anything else, I get slammed out of the barrier, like being kicked out of somewhere. Hard.
After struggling to get up, I slowly walk back to the townhouse and head up to my bedroom. Once there, I click on iFollow and call for a videoconference. I get two screens that pop up. Hi and Shelton.
"Hey Tor!"
"Hi Tory."
Both, slightly rubbing their heads.
"Sorry 'bout that."
They give me confused looks.
"I tried to reach you, I forgot how much that hurts you guys."
"I'll say."
After, we talk a little, I hear Kit yell:
"Tory!"
"Gotta go, see ya guys soon!"
"See ya."
"Later, Brennan."
After logging out of iFollow, I run downstairs. On my way down I yell:
"What?"
"I ran into a woman at work that says that she has a daughter your age going to _ too. Her daughter is having a party Friday night. She said you were welcome to come by. She also mentioned something about it being on the beach. So you'll need a swimsuit and a dress or something. Whitney can take you shopping tomorrow."
Silently thinking:
"Ugh. Two things I despise, Shopping and Whitney."
I give Kit an are-you-serious? Look and he just shrugs and walks away.
Chapter 5 ~ Ben
As soon as I get in the townhouse, I head upstairs to our third level. The office is where I go to let off steam and hang. I sink into a beanbag, tilt my head back, laying there.
I wake two hours later, hearing a faint beeping coming from my computer. It's iFollow, Tory and the Guys must be wanting to talk. I slowly get up and head to the desk and when I sit down i blindly click a button and hear Tory's voice followed by Shelton's and Hi's.
"He usually answers. What's up with Ben?"
"I dont know but his screen is black so he must have somehow answered."
"Aw. I don't know. That happened to my cousin once. I was on iFollow with him and he didn't answer and the screen was black. I don't know why."
"I have to talk to you guys. It's about Ben."
"Then why did we invite him to the conversation?"
"Oops."
"Hi!?"
"Anyway, I don't think he picked up anyway."
"You never know, my cousin did answer like 5 minutes later saying that he had heard me."
"So... My dad told me that I could come back to Morris, I wouldn't be alone. Aunt Tempe would be with me, but I wouldn't have Coop."
"But without Coop we're-"
"That's the thing." I hear Tory say. "Can I talk to you guys, aside from Virals and everything. Nothing has changed between Ben and I. Ever since the whole Gamemaster disaster last year, what he said to me on the boat-"
"What exactly did he say on that boat!"
"Oh... um he said that the that whole mess wasn't supposed to happen. He had known who was behind it the whole time. He was trying- he was trying to-."
"Spit it out Tory!" I hear an anxious Hi say.
"He was trying to impress me."
Next thing I hear is silence.
Chapter 6 ~ Tory
After telling Shelton and Hi about what happened on the boat last year, I quickly went and disinvited Ben from the conversation, just in case he was listening.
"Seriously?"
I hesitantly nod, slowly.
"That no good son of a-"
"Guys-" I interrupt Shelton before this gets ugly.
"I know that you feel just as weird as I do. I mean, it's just. All of those times- Why didn't I fricking realize it!"
