I don't own Falling Skies.
Ben's POV
As Anne rushed around the room trying to save his life the only thought going through my head was "Please don't die Jimmy." As I was ushered out of the room the event that led to this moment played over in my head.
~~~~~~~`FLASHBACK~~~~~~~
Jimmy and I were way out passed the patrol lines hunting for Skitters because I wanted to and since he is my partner he went with me. We came across an old playground and we found three Skitters conversing with each other. I coughed to draw them over to us and we quickly took down two of them. As Jimmy was about to take out the third his gun jammed so I ran with my knife to stab it, but it pushed me to the ground and Jimmy ran towards it with the gun to knock it out, but the damn thing swung him back. As I got up to help him I felt a strange feeling rush through me and I couldn't move. Soon enough it was over and I fell to the ground.
I got back up and ran over to Jimmy only to find him stuck on a tree with limb sticking out of his stomach. "Shit Jimmy, its okay I'll get up help." I sawed off the end attached to the tree and carried him back to camp.
~~~~~~~~~~FLASHBACK OVER~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I sat in the chair just outside of the curtain with my knees drawn to my chest and tears streaming down my cheeks. Anne had been in there of at least 2 hours and I tried to fight off sleep, but eventually my body won and my eyes closed on their own accord.
~~~~TIME SKIP~~~~
I woke up to Anne gently shaking my shoulder. "How is he?" I asked sleepily as I stretched my sore limbs. "He is okay, but he lost a lot of blood." I nodded and went into the room.
I saw his still body lying on the make shift hospital bed and if I couldn't see the slow rise of his chest I would think he was dead. I walked over to his bed and sat on the chair next to it. I grabbed his hand in mine and I stoked his hair. I leaned down and whispered in his ear. "You better not die on me; I will be pissed if you do. You can not just leave me like that not with all the things we haven't done together." A few tears were slipping down my face.
"Not without knowing that I love you." I sat that way for awhile and after a few hours I got up and left.
Yes I know that was a super short chapter, but they will get longer. I am sorry for not updating my other stories and that this chapter isn't well written. I hope you liked it anyway. Bye for now.
