Chapter 37

Benji stepped into the hallway. "I'll be right back, Dawn."

"But-" The door shut and Dawn pouted.

Drew led Benji down the hallway to room 15. When he got to the room he stopped.

"Do you work Tuesday?" Drew asked.

Benji shook his head. "I work Monday, Wedsenday and Friday."

Drew nodded. "You're girlfriend works today, doesn't she."

"Yes. How's May? We haven't seen her lately and Dawn has been worried."

Drew opened the door. "Just be quiet. She's sleeping." The door opened and Drew walked in first so to double check that May hadn't kicked off the blankets and was still decent.

She was still laying on the bed like an angel, sleeping with the pain.

Benji came in behind Drew and looked at May. His eyes widened slightly before he cleared his throat and composed himself. "So this is what they had done to her. Why?"

Drew shook his head lightly. "I don't know. But I will find out soon."

Benji followed Drew's side as Drew came up to May's bedside and looked down at her, folding his arms across his chest.

"I'm going to be gone for work tomorrow from six am to somewhere near five pm. Then I'll be back here to work on the personal bath for her..." Drew glared over his shoulder at the camera. "I can't leave her alone. They'll come back while I'm gone and hurt her more. So, I want you to stay with May today until I get back."

Benji looked down at May and sighed. "Yeah, I can watch her while you're--"

Drew grabbed Benji's neck. He didn't choke him but the swift hand movement to his throat made Benji feel as though he was.

"If she's in any worse condition when I see her again, I will blame you and I will put you through more pain than you have ever and ever will expeirence."

Benji grabbed Drew's hand and hesitantly, with a little effort, lowered it from his neck.

"You have my word." Benji swore. "Dawn will even watch over her with me until she has to leave. And I promise that May will be the same, if not feeling a little better, when you get back to see her. I would rather die than break a promise like that, Drew."

"Dying is the only way you can break that promise. And if you're still alive if you do break that promise, I'll kill you myself." Drew glared. Then he looked back at the alarm clock which read 5:25. "You can go back to your girl now until I leave to go to your place at six."

Benji looked sadly back at May and nodded. "I'll be back soon then." And Benji left the room, leaving Drew to stare down at May and occasionally brush his fingers against her forehead.

For the whole half hour that he waited, Drew never stopped looking at her. He didn't even sit down. He just waited for the time to come when he would have to go. He didn't know if he could trust Benji. He didn't know Benji. But he knew Benji more than he knew anyone else that was here. He would have been damned to ask Blane or even his partner for any help. So Benji was his only option.

Benji went back into his room and saw Dawn sitting up in bed, waiting for him.

"What did he want?" She asked, scooting up to sit by him when Benji sat at the edge of the bed.

"May's...a liite hurt. He wanted me to watch over her today while he was out to work." Benji sighed. "There was so much saddness in his eyes I couldn't barely look at him let alone say no."

"And what kind of person would you have been if you did?" Dawn wrapped her arms around Benji. "What happened to her? Is she okay?"

Benji nodded. "She'll be fine. I thought maybe you could help me watch over her untl you had to leave for work but you need your sleep, Dawn, and I don't think you should see your friend like that."

"No, I have to go see May-"

Benji shook his head. "Dawn, you can stay here and go to sleep."

"I can't sleep knowing May's hurt. And besides the construstion team will be here soon. I would sleep better in May's room with you."

Benji thought for a moment. "Alright...but you can't wake her up no matter what. And you should bring our pillow and blanket so you can sleep more comfortable in a corner by me. I'm sure Drew wouldn't mind if we set his alarm to when you have to leave, Dawn."

Dawn rested her head on Benji's shoulder.

"I'm afraid to go to work now."

"You know you have to, Dawn. It'll be fine."

Dawn shook her head and buried her face against him. "No it won't be. This is all really hppening. They can just hurt May? They can force us to do whatever and they can probably even kill us if they wanted, too. I don't like it here at all. I want to go home, Benji. I don't want the people I care about to get hurt."

Benji put an arm around Dawn's waist. "Dawn, I won't let anyone hurt you."

"By the sounds of it, Drew wouldn't have wanted anyone to hurt May either. But she's-"

"That's different. You'll be okay."

"How is that different?" Dawn looked up at him.

"Well, I...You're going to okay, so just trust me." He looked at the alarm clock.

Dawn sighed. "Benji, you don't know that. Anything could happen. But just knowing that you care about me that much...just knowing that you will do anything you possibly can to protect me. I feel safe with you, Benji." Dawn reached over and took his hand, kissing his cheek.

Benji smiled softly. "I will do everthing I possibly can do to protect you or die trying."

"Don't say that!" Dawn shrunk away from Benji. "Don't say that, Benji. It scares me."

Benji leaned forward to her and touched her hips while he gently pressed his lips against her. Dawn closed her eyes at the feel of their lips touching and Benji leaned more against her, until her back rested against the mattress. She wrapped her arms around his neck.

Then Benji made the kiss lead into an all out tongue war that stopped when there was a knock on the door. Benji pulled back and looked at the door. Dawn brought him back down and kissed him again. Benji chuckled and kissed away from her lips to her ear and whispered. "Get ready to go to May, Dawn. We can kiss more later night."

Dawn bit her lip and sat up straightening herself out. "More tonight?" She mused over that in a slight daze. Then she gathered the blanket. "Do you think you can just kiss me anytime you want?" She huffed.

Benji smirked and gave Dawn a quick peck on the lips. "I'll kiss you tell you push me away...And then I'll kiss you some more." He chuckled then got up to answer the door.

"Humph, pervert." But she was blushing and giggling like a giddy girl.

Benji opened the door to see Drew and four other guys waiting behind him. Drew was glaring at Benji and Benji knew why. It ws because May was all alone in her room right now.

Benji took Dawn and left Drew to his work while they went down to room 15.
