Please review! I've had one review (and thanks to the person who did, I forgot your username I'll use it tomorrow in the next chapter). I'm going to be a forensic anthropologist and write on the side (Maybe. Probably.) I want to know how my stories are. (Soon, I'm going to write my own story with its own plot and stuff, so I want to get reviews on this and then start that story. Okay, enough boring stuff. Thanks again!
Tory's POV
It's Friday. We talked our parents into letting us stay at Hi's places. The 3rd floor was converted into a game room (well,partly. There's a wall separating the game room and the sitting room.) I'm in my normal pajamas (tank top and shorts) and I'm watching the guys play GTA 5. Somehow, Ruth hasn't found it and freaked out yet. Afterwards, when we're just sitting around, Hi says, "I need your guys help."
I ask, "With what?"
Ben smirks. "He likes Ella!"
Shelton says, "I like that new girl Brooklyn."
I gasp. "You like Ella?! She's my best friend!"
Hi says, "And Ben is my best friend."
I shrug. "Touché."
Hi asks, "Does she have a boyfriend?"
I say, "Well her and Chance have been talking, but she's single." He slumps a little. But then he straightens up. "I don't care. I'm going to text her and ask her to that movie you and Tory watched Wednesday. What was it called again?"
Ben says, "The Stars and Beyond."
With no response, he pulls out his phone. He gets a response almost instantly. Without a word, he stands up, and takes off running while screaming. I pick up his phone.
Hi- Are you free Sunday? I was wondering if you wanted to watch The Stars and Beyond with me.
Ella- Yes, I'm free, and yes, I'd love to
Me, Ben, and Shelton start laughing. Shelton's phone vibrates and he looks at it and laughs. "Who are you texting?" He looks up like he forgot I was there. "Oh, me? I'm texting Brooklyn."
"Brooklyn Landers?"
"Yeah. We're hanging out Sunday."
"Oh." I look at Ben. "I guess its just you and me, then."
Ben frowns. "What's that supposed to mean?"
I kiss him. "Oh, nothing bad." Hi still hasn't made it back. "Come on, let's go look for that idiot." Ben gets up and pulls me to my feet. He slips his arm around my waist. We walk down all the stairs, and go outside. As soon as we step off the porch, something grabs my leg. I screech and kick whatever grabs me. As it turns out, it was Hi.
"I was starting to think y'all weren't coming. And then, when ya do, Tor kicks me in the face."
"You can't grab my legs and expect not to get kicked."
He shrugs. "True. So let's do something. We have a driver and no curfew. We have money. Let's live a little, people!"
I say, "We've been shot at, stalked, kidnapped and thrown in a cage, and almost blown up. And you're saying let's live a little?"
"Okay, fine. Let's go have a good time without being shot, stalked, or kidnapped."
Shelton says, "Sure. Sounds fun. Wanna invite Brook and Ella?"
Hi says, "Sure." All 3 boys pull out their phones. I look at Ben and get jealous, until my phone vibrates with a text.
Ben- Me and the boys are going out. Wanna come?
Tory- I'd love to. Let me change.
I turn and run up all 3 flights of stairs. I throw on a pair of jean shorts, and the sandals I still haven't gave back to Whitney. I give my hair a quick brush-through, and meet the boys in the car.
Ben's POV
We decided to eat and then go bowling. It's girls against boys, and the girls are winning. Not that I care. Right now, me and Tory are sitting down taking a break. I have my arm around her, her head is on my chest, and her feet are up on the rest of the bench. I whisper, "Are you tired?" She whispers back, "Yeah. I want to go back to Hi's and go to sleep." I stand up and say, "You guys either find other riding arrangements, or we leave. Tory's tired, and by the look of it, so is everyone else. It's 11:30, let's just go." They all agree, so I drop Brooklyn and Ella off, and drive back to Morris Island. I wake everyone up when we get there, Hi goes to his bedroom, Shelton goes to the game room to sleep, and Tory changes and lays by me on the couch. Right before she falls asleep, she kisses my cheek and tells me she love me. I pull her closer to me, and I fall asleep.
Tory's POV
I wake up in the best possible way ever. I'm curled up by Ben, on his side. My head is on his chest. He moves one arm, and cups my waist. I snuggle up to him, loving the way our bodies just melt together. I don't go back to sleep, I just lay there until Hi comes in and jumps on us. "Wake up lovebirds!" I turn red and push him off the couch. I laugh. "What time is it?"
He says, "It's almost 9."
"Ella will be here at noon. I suppose I should go pack. I'll be back in a half hour." I jump up and throw on a sweatshirt. I'm already outside when I realize I grabbed Ben's and not mine. Too late now. I'm barely inside my door when 85 pounds of dog jumps on me and knocks me down. "Get off me dogface." I push Coop off and run up to my room. I throw some jeans, shirts, and a sweatshirt into an overnight bag. I take a shower, brush my teeth and hair, and get dressed and walk back over to Hi's. I was interrogated on the way out, but they let me go. Now, we are all sitting on the beach. I'm looking for shells and interesting looking rocks. The guys are messing around in the water. Suddenly, Ben comes and picks me up bridal-style. He walks towards the dock (with me kicking and screaming the whole time) and throws me off. He jumps in after me. "I'm going to have to go change now! Thanks a lot!" He smirks. "Welcome." I fight back a smile. Hi runs and jumps off, doing a cannon ball and splashing us. Shelton just stands and watches, until Ben gets out and pushes him in. Now we're all soaked, but we're having fun. I get out and sit on the dock watching the boys. I run and grab my phone. "Group photo!" Pictures aren't our thing, but I want to remember all of these good memories. We take a picture, then we go change into dry clothes. As I walk outside, Ella pulls up. Ben is standing outside so I walk up and give him a long kiss. I say, "Text me," and I give him one more long goodbye kiss.
