Young Hearts Collide
Chapter 14
Hello there (: well I've watched ahead so I'm all up to date so I thought I would write chapter 14 for you lovely readers (: so please enjoy...
''Maggie! Maggie can you hear me?'' Hannah begs to her unconscious woman who she considered a friend.
''Hannah, leave her for Dr Glass we gotta go!'' Dai begs her
''Why, why do we have to go?'' Hannah asks panicked
''To go protect Ben, come on'' Dai says dragging Hannah out of the room and out of the hospital.
Hannah runs over to Boom and Tector and smiles at them.
''Well hey little Blondie, fighting alongside us ah?'' Tector asks with a smile
''Of course'' she says fist pumping him ''hey Boon'' she waves with a smile before they fist pump also.
''Well Hannah lets go save ya boyfriends ass'' Boon says with a smile.
Then they are off running off into the woods. Ten minutes later they spot Karen and Ben in a clearing with a skitter, Mech and fish head in front of them and before Hannah can run towards Ben Tector pulls Hannah down in-between him and Boon.
''What the hell's going on?'' Hannah whispers to Tector
''Just wait little Blondie'' Tector whispers back ''just get ya gun ready'' he whispers again with a smile.
Hannah does as she's told and then she sees it. Karen has been harnessed again and the Mech, skitter and fish head are all facing them but Hannah knows they cannot see them. Hannah wants to scream for Ben to run but she knows she has to be quiet. There is a harness in front of Ben and Karen is getting a little close to him and Ben looks uncomfortable as she and the harness get up in his face. The skitter grabs Ben and Hannah fidgets in her spot but Boom places a hand on her shoulder to push her back down.
A shot is then heard and Tom's voice echoes.
''Ben run!'' he shouts and then Hannah begins to shoot at the skitter and the Mech.
Hannah follows Tector around the edge as they aim for the Mech who shoots back at them. Hannah can feel the strain on her stomach but she ignores it through being in the zone of taking the Mech down. She see's Tom ahead aiming at the fish head and runs for him and aims her gun up at the fish head also.
''Well it looks like your coming with us'' he says
Hannah then feels arms wrap around her back and slowly the person begins to rub her stomach. If the group didn't know what had happened to Hannah they would think that they had a teenage pregnancy on their hands.
''What the hell are you doing out here? Do you want to give me a heart attack?'' Ben whispers in her ear.
Hannah blushes then lifts his hands up and kisses them ''well my stitches are fine and I barely felt any pain so I thought I would help save your ass'' Hannah smirks
Bens lips press against her ear ''I know your smirking baby'' he then twists her round carefully and kisses her softly and Hannah blushes.
''Let's get back, we can talk more when we are back at the hospital'' she says smiling up at him
Ben puts his arm around her as they walk back to the second mass. Everyone but them has their guns pointed firmly at the fish head before loading it into the truck Antony drove down while the rest of the fighters ran to the battlefield. Once back at the second mass Ben and Hannah go inside but Hannah leaves him to go outside to watch out for any of the aliens that may invade due to them capturing their leader. When she makes it outside she's greeted by Crazy Lee who offers her a warm smile.
''Ready to kick some alien butt Hannah?'' she asks and then the first shot comes from not so far away.
Hannah nods and runs with her to the front line. They begin to shoot at the Mech's hiding away. She sees Tom walk away but doesn't listen to what's being said due to all her concentration being on shooting at the invisible Mech's. They are only visible through their shots. Everyone keeps shooting until an explosion is heard and everyone stops shooting even the Mech's.
''They backed off after the explosion whatever you did out there did the trick'' Captain Weaver says to Tom.
Captain Weaver then turns to Hannah.
''Hannah go inside check around the hospital. Make sure no more of those bastards have gotten in'' he orders
''Yes sir'' Hannah says nodding before walking towards the hospital doors.
Twenty minutes later after scouting around the hospital and finding nothing. Hannah begins to walk back towards the front only to hear the familiar shouting voices of Ben and Tom. She hides herself behind the wall and hears that Ben wants to leave for the sake of the group and tears begin to build in her eyes. 'Is he really going to leave me?' Hannah asks herself then she hears something.
''Would you really leave Hannah? Ben she's your girlfriend she needs you. I need you. Ben needs you and Hal and so does the second mass'' Hannah's ears become more alert as she waits for Ben's reply.
''If I leave then I can protect her and everyone else. She's nearly died twice because of me, I'm not letting that happen again'' Ben states
She hears Tom huff and footsteps begin to walk away from her direction. Hannah takes a deep breath and then comes out of her hiding space seeing Ben looking the other way. She takes a deep breath and her mouth opens.
''You're leaving'' she squeaks as her building tears are set free.
Ben turns around and looks at her horrified ''you heard?'' he asks
Hannah nods ''everything. I heard everything'' she states her body beginning to shake from the uncontrollable tears that are falling down her face.
Ben walks up close to her and places his forehead on hers before taking her hands firmly in his.
''Baby, I have to do this. You have to let me go'' Ben breathes
''I don't want you to go. Why can't you protect me and everyone else by being here?'' she asks him through tears.
Their eyes lock and Ben begins to rub her hands ''I know. But I will be back. Let's not discuss this now we have to fight those aliens off'' Ben say.
Hannah nods and wipes away her tears and lets Ben guide her out the building. He places a quick kiss on her lips before going back into the hospital while Hannah continues to walk forward.
''Yo little Blondie get ya ass down here!'' Tector shouts at her.
Hannah runs to his side to see that Hannah has appeared again and Boon is stood in front of her stumbling helplessly towards them. Hannah can't believe what she is seeing but aims her gun towards Hannah just like Tector and Crazy Lee.
''Come on Boon'' she hears Crazy Lee say by her side.
Then gun shots erupt and then Boon's on the floor, dead in the cold snow. Hannah let's a single tear fall for the young man who made her laugh and actually put a smile on her face in this hell.
''Let this be a warning to you all'' Hannah shouts to them before disappearing.
Tector begins to shoot his gun after them and Hannah feels for him. Boon was a good friend to him. Hannah looks up at Crazy Lee who looks down at her with a small smile.
''Stand down Tector. Save your ammo'' Captain Weaver orders but he continues to shoot until he suddenly stops causing silence to finally fall and everyone mourns the loss of Boon. Hannah's mind is a mess. Ben leaving. Now Boon's dead. It's too much for her to handle so she walks away from the front line and sits herself on the hospital steps and lifts her knees to her chest and rests her chin on her knees and just stares. Hoping that something good will finally come along.

Hannah feels herself being lifted up from her spot and hands are placed on her shoulders. She looks around to see Crazy Lee and Tector standing behind her and she smiles. A lot of fighters are standing on the steps looking towards the front line. Hal is approaching with Karen and Hannah scowls. The girl made a move on Ben and tried to take him away that's not okay, no matter how good Hannah was, Karen deserved a slap from her. When Karen walks past her and smirks, Hannah glares at and launches towards her growling before Tector and Crazy Lee pull her back.
''Stupid bitch'' Hannah hisses causing Crazy Lee and Tector to gasp.
''Well it looks like Hannah's inner beast has finally forced its way out. It's alright little Blondie, Karen's going to be taken care of'' Tector reassures her rubbing her shoulders.
Hannah turns towards him and nods before turning back around and waiting to hear what is going to happen and if they were ever going to get on their way to Charleston.
This is confirmed when Tom, Hal and Ben walk past them and everyone follows. It was time to go. Hannah rushes over to Ben who is prepping his bike ready for the journey.
''You're staying?'' she asks happily
Ben sighs ''no baby I'm not just coming along for a little while before I go'' he says
Hannah's heart drops ''oh okay. Can I still travel with you on your bike?'' she asks
''Of course hop on'' he says with a bright smile.
Hannah obliges and climbs on and grips onto Ben's waist tightly kissing his neck quickly before he sets off. Hannah breathes in his scent as they travel quickly down small country roads. Their time together was going to be cut short soon. Hannah didn't want Ben to leave but she knew in her heart he was doing the right thing for her, his family and the second mass.
They came to a stop a couple of hours later and Hannah climbed off the back of Ben's bike and as soon as he got off himself she jumped on him and wrapped her arms tightly around him.
''I need to go and see Lourdes, she needs me'' Hannah said to him. She had heard from Maggie that Jamil had become a victim to some spider mutant things in the basement of the hospital.
''Don't worry I will be here when you get back'' he said with a small smile
Hannah offered her own small smile back and then made her way towards the medical bus; she found Lourdes curled up in the back on the small couch. Hannah bent down in front of her and Lourdes looked at her blankly.
''Oh Lourdes I am so sorry'' Hannah whispered taking her hand.
''Oh Hannah, I can't do it. I can't I've lost him. I loved him so much and now he's gone. I am a woman of faith surely God could have spared him'' Lourdes chocked
''You know as well as me that God has resigned from his post. We are on our own now. Jamil was a good man but he was taken away by being in the right place at the wrong time'' Hannah said rubbing Lourdes' hands
''I miss him so much. I've never felt so numb and lost before'' she chocked again
''It will get better you just need time to grieve'' Hannah said with a small smile
Lourdes nodded closing her eyes and taking in a deep breath ''I think I need some fresh air'' she said with another small smile.
Hannah took her hand and guided her out of the medical bus and they walked for a short while before she saw Ben looking at her with Tom by his side.
''You going to be okay on your own?'' Hannah asked Lourdes concerned
''Of course, what's going on?'' she asks her
''You're not the only who's losing someone today'' Hannah said simply before beginning to walk towards Ben.
It was time. Time for them to say goodbye to one another. Hannah could feel the tears beginning to build already as Ben wrapped his arms tightly around her waist and placed their foreheads together as Hannah laced her arms around his neck.
''Please don't go'' Hannah sniffed
Ben rubbed his hands up and down her arms ''I have to baby, I have to do this, this war needs to end so we can all go back to leading a normal life again and it's not forever you will see me again'' Ben said sniffing himself.
''What am I going to do with you?'' Hannah said her voice cracking as her tears began to fall
''What are you going to do without me? Hannah what am I going to do without you? You are my everything, I love you so much. You just have to let me do this. It's all for you so I can keep you safe. I'm returning to my brief past to keep you in our long future together'' Ben said bringing one of her hands forward and kissing it.
Hannah smiled up at him through her tears ''you're my everything too and I'm never going to get tired of telling you how much I love you because I do. You're my book loving knight in shining armour. You just best come back to me. But not just for me but for your family here within the second mass because we are all your family now'' Hannah says looking up at him seriously
Ben smirked ''oh I'm coming back. You just stay strong for me okay? Because I wouldn't be able to live with myself if you got hurt in my absence'' Ben says shakily
''I don't function without you with me so I can't promise anything'' Hannah says coyly
''Baby, you're going to stay safe or I will send a skitter from the rebellion to keep an eye on your ass'' Ben says smirking
Hannah rolls her eyes and then brings her lips to his desperately clinging to him while he desperately clung to her. Their lips battle in a passionate longing kiss. Their tongues connecting with one another's like apple to a pie, they were meant to be and if they hadn't known that before they did now. Hannah was helplessly in love with Ben and he was helplessly in love with her. But their love story was being put on hold while he went to fight to keep everyone alive. They broke apart from there passionate embrace and Ben connected their foreheads and they resumed their previous position.
''This is it, Hannah Phillips I can't wait to come back and tell you how much I still love you. You're my beautiful book loving girl. Just think of me as a solider going on tour in Afghanistan I will be home soon'' Ben said shakily
This struck something within Hannah about her deceased brother but she ignored it not wanting to lose this precious moment with Ben. ''My green eyed angel'' Hannah breathed through her tears ''I love you so much''
Ben wrapped his arms around Hannah tightly and Hannah snuggled her head into his chest while Ben rubbed her hair and kissed her hair continuously. Ben was so warm against her, she felt at home in his arms, feeling his touch made her feel complete inside.
Then the warm embrace was gone and she felt two lips kiss her forehead softly and with one last look blue into green Ben was gone.
Hannah fell to floor unable to control her limps she as she cried uncontrollably until four arms picked her up of the ground and then they were wrapped firmly around her. It was Hal and Lourdes cradling her in their arms like she was their vulnerable toddler. Hannah couldn't stop the tears as Ben finally left her view. He was gone and she had no idea whether he was going to return to her within days, weeks, months or years. She was saying goodbye to the boy she loved for now and it made her feel empty inside.
