A/N: Hey, before you readers crazily scroll down, just wanted the reviewers to know, thanks very very much :) I really appreciate it.
And to Animejunkies'meow :
Your comment got me thinking. Honestly, it really had no point to the storyline. I just really liked it at the moment LOL. But, I thought I could use it as a form of 'disease', if you reread the last 3 lines of the lyrics in chapter one, you might catch it. But then, after reading your comment, I thought, "How am I ever going to be able to finish a story with a situation like that?" So I had to make a complete U-turn. Ah, the horrors of n00b writing. But thanks for the review!
I do not own Ben 10/Ben 10: Alien Force

Innocence
Hospitals were not the best places to stand in a dripping wet swimsuit. Especially with janitors glaring, nurses staring, and of course, Ben Tennyson flaring.
"I leave her alone with you for two hours. Two hours, and she's in the hospital!"
The said boy looked up, glaring. "Shut up Tennyson. And stop pacing, it's making me nervous. Look, I don't even know what happened. I just turned around for a second, and the next thing I know, she's unconscious in the water."
Glaring back with bright emerald eyes, Ben spoke in a loud voice. "Well stuff like this doesn't happen often, Kevin! This has never happened to Gwen before and…"
Kevin stood, reaching into a bag next to him for a shirt, seeing as how he was still shirtless from rushing Gwen to the hospital straight from the lake.
"And what?"
Ben stopped pacing but refused to face Kevin.
"And… I'm scared to face what's going to come if it's something serious."
"… You think I'm not? She's important to me too, y'know."
Green eyes met onyx. "She's my cousin. We fight, but I want-- need her around. She always knows what to do."
Kevin stared at his feet. "She… she's my everything."
Ben looked up suddenly. "Kevin..you..?"
"I love her. Even back when you thought I was betraying you for Alien tech, she believed me. She worries about me, cares what happens to me, looks out for me… Ben, you may be my friend but, you've gotta understand…"
A doctor in a white lab coat burst out of the emergency room. "Who here is family of Gwendolyn Tennyson?"
As the two teens ran towards the doctor, Ben looked up. It was barely there, but the green-eyed boy could see the worried expression on the taller teen's face.
A few mere centimeters away from the doctor, a slight whisper could be heard.

"…She's all I've got."

A/N: Yes, yes, slow progress in this chapter but I need to think about what to do with Gwen. :x
The more reviews, the happier I get, the better the next chapter! Hehe.
