Young hearts collide 2

Chapter 2

Hello there people! Hope you're all doing awesome! MY LAST EXAM WAS TODAY WHICH MEANS I NO LONGER HAVE TO GO TO MY SCHOOL EVER AGAIN! WOOOOOO! But this also means my uploads will be quicker as I have nothing to do with my life until I find something to do during my gap year from university (a gap year I did not want to take but aw well) anyway I hope you enjoy this next installment!

Hannah runs after Ben as he runs around their room with her bra in his hands, causing Hannah to run after him with an arm firmly placed around her chest, with only her bottom half dressed in a pair of Ben's boxers.

''Seriously Ben I need to get dressed! I have morning patrol with James in 30 minutes! Give me my bra you idiot!'' She screeches following him onto the bed before he jumps off.

Ben smirks at her. ''Why should I?'' He questions swinging the simple black bra in front of his face.

Hannah jumps off the bed making a grab for it. ''Because otherwise my boobs will be bouncing around everywhere.'' She says trying to grab for her bra again as Ben walks backwards towards the back wall of their room.

Ben smirks again. ''And whats the problem with that?'' He says cheekily.

Hannah's face turns devious. ''My boobs will be bouncing around in front of James.'' She says.

Ben's expression changes and he hands Hannah her bra back. ''This is why I hate that we aren't partners anymore.'' He says leaning himself against the back wall.

Hannah smiles at him whilst putting on her bra. She then approaches him and wraps her arms around his waist and kisses him passionately. ''I know but we just have to live with this.'' She says.

Ben sighs resting his arms on Hannah's shoulders. ''I know.'' He says beginning to lean in again but a knock at the door soon interrupts him.

''Yo Benji time to go, you wanna show me this place ya better get ya ass out here!'' Dannie's voice bellows on the other side of the door.

Hannah looks up at Ben with a risen eyebrow. ''What place?'' She asks.

Ben smiles making Hannah walk backwards towards the door. ''The power plants where the mega mechs are.'' He says pushing Hannah in the wall beside their door. He opens the door to let Dannie in whilst kissing Hannah's lips firmly. ''I'll see you later baby.'' He says before shutting the door behind him and Dannie.

Hannah smiles touching her lips, oh she loved that boy so much. She finds a shirt and pulls it on and a pair of trousers before finding her finger-less gloves and pulling them on. She then pulls her riffle on, leaving her machine gun on the shelf where she and Ben kept their weapons. She was ready for patrol. She walks out into the community grabbing a couple of granola bars to eat on the trip. She spots James doing the same thing, approaching him and fist pumping him.

He smiles at her. ''You ready to go then blondie?'' He asks.

Hannah nods. ''Let's go ginge.'' She says.

James was ginger, it was straight and he styled it with a flick at the front everyday, he had blue eyes and was a lot taller than Hannah, he stood at at-least 6 ft 7 inches so he towered over Hannah who was only 5 ft 4 inches. He was built like a machine which is why he had been paired with Hannah. So they could work alongside one another as two of the top fighters within Charleston, but also to protect Hannah so Ben didn't have a heart attack. James was twenty-one so older than Hannah, which also made Ben feel better, knowing he didn't have any competition. Not that Hannah found James attractive anyway.

They walk into the nearby wood doing their normal rounds when James turns to her. ''So are how things with you and Benji? Any better?'' He asks.

Hannah smiles. ''He stole my bra this morning.'' She grumbles.

James starts to laugh but Hannah's glare stops him. ''Well that's interesting, so things are better?'' He asks.

Hannah shrugs. ''Yeah, I mean Dannie still bothers me, but I haven't seen her flirt with him so we have nothing to argue about.'' She says.

He nods his head. ''That's good Han, I mean at least she's finally getting the message.'' He says.

Hannah gives him a look. ''Just because I haven't seen her flirting, doesn't mean she hasn't been James.'' She says kicking some twigs out of her way.

James sighs. ''Ben clearly loves you Han, I wish you wouldn't worry so much.'' He says.

Hannah shrugs. ''I'll always worry, no matter how much I love Ben or how much I know he loves me, It's just the way I am.'' She says.

James scoffs. ''Come on babe, you've slept together, said I love you to one another, share a room, been together for like a year now. I think it's time you stopped worrying.'' He says putting an arm around her.

Hannah looks up at him. ''I know and I'm trying I really am. Look I know the flirting doesn't effect me what really pisses me off is that she does it right in front of my face!'' Hannah hisses.

James nods. ''Alright enough about her, hows the sex life?'' James asks casually.

Hannah's mouth falls open. ''Excuse me?'' She questions going red all over her face.

James walks in front of her and begins to walk backwards. ''Come on Han, you never give me any details.'' He says.

Hannah rolls her eyes then a wicked smile comes across her face. ''How's your sex life?'' She asks shoving him as she runs past him.

James runs after her. ''Now that's not fair.'' He wines.

Hannah keeps running. ''It is, mine and Ben's sex life details stay between the two of us.'' She shouts at him.

When James and Hannah return from their patrol, Ben pulls Hannah away quickly towards a table where he has lunch set out for the two of them.

''So we found the mega mechs.'' Ben says tucking into his soup.

Hannah nods. ''Good, so we blowing the place up?'' She asks.

Ben shrugs. ''Don't know yet, there's a radiation risk so my dad doesn't know what to do, so he's going to talk to this guy who can help. He gets the whole of Charleston powered up so he must be good he says.

Hannah dips some bread into her soup. ''So there's gonna be a mission then?'' She asks.

Ben nods. ''More than likely. My dad wants Weaver to gather his best fighter which includes us two of course.'' He says.

Over the past seven months, Hannah had become lethal with a gun, Tector and Crazy Lee no longer called her 'little blondie' they called her 'fire cracker'. Since she never missed her target and was able to set things on fire because her aim was that good. Any mech that got in her way was down in minutes with the help of her partner. She was no longer the timid girl who was once scared of the fighters, she had become a fighter and a good one, this had turned her into a woman.

Hannah smiles. ''I'm up for it.'' She says.

Ben laughs. ''I know.'' He says finishing off his soup. ''Hey when you're done what do you say to going to watch a movie in our room? Since we never have to go to school.'' He suggests.

Ben and Hannah never had to attend school due to their duties, which they both didn't mind, no matter how much they loved to learn before the war, protecting their people was more important. They walk hand in hand back to their room, smiling at civilians and fighters on watch as they go. Hannah changes into her casual clothes. When she's done she sees Ben pulling on his shirt and smiles. His spikes were still there, but Hannah thought they made him look sexy, they made him look special and told a story.

Ben turns around and catches her staring. ''What you staring at?'' He asks with a smile.

Hannah blushes. ''Just you, just how beautiful you are.'' She says.

Ben blushes too and pulls Hannah on their sofa and presses play on the television, they were going to watch spider-man for the millionth time since that's the only film they could get hold of. They didn't care just being able to watch something on television again was a bonus. They sit in silence cuddling up too each other, Ben would occasionally lean down and kiss the top of Hannah's head. This is how Hannah knew that Ben wasn't attracted to Dannie, every spare moment he had he devoted to her. It worked both ways, if Hannah ever had a spare moment the first person she would try and find was Ben. Suddenly they hear an explosion, they both look at each other and jump up off the sofa, not having time to change into their fighter gear, they both grab the first of their guns they can and run out the door. They run to find Antony with a group of fighters running towards somewhere. Ben and Hannah run after them and aim their guns once they corner three boys running away. Ben and Hannah look at the three boys, one of them being Matt with disappointment. Matt's eyes come in contact with Ben's and he ducks his head. They escort him with Antony to Anne and they both walk off the get changed before a meeting to receive instructions about their mission to blow up the power plant.

They get changed in silence, Hannah swapping her riffle for her machine gun and Ben doing the same. They smile and nod at one another as they head for the meeting room. Once they get inside they stand next to one another. Porter begins to tell them that they cannot repeat to anyone else what is about to be said in the room. Weaver then comes forward and tells them that the key to the mission is surprise and speed. They were to go to the back entrance of the power plant as it was not guarded by mechs and make their way into the building through there. Weaver then calls Antony, Ben and Pope forward to discuss the battle plan and to make sure they know. Hannah crosses her arms over her chest and watches intently as the mission is laid out for them. Hopefully it would run smoothly.

Hannah shoves some gear into the truck she, James, Dannie, Ben and Weaver would be travelling in, with Weaver behind the wheel. She watches as Ben and Dannie approach and Tom stop them for a talk. Hannah watches them closely before James clicks his fingers in front of her face.

''Stop staring Han, if the wind changes your face will set like that.'' He says shoving more gear into her arms.

She glares at him and shoves the bag into the back of the truck. ''Ha ha very funny.'' She snaps as Ben and Dannie make their way towards them.

''Hi.'' Dannie says to them both.

''Hi.'' Hannah replies shortly, shouldering her gun.

''Baby?'' Ben questions, gesturing Hannah to come towards him.

She does and follows him to a place out the way of everyone else. He kisses her forehead and takes her hand. ''Stay in the zone, aim, shoot, take them down...'' He starts.

''Protect your partner, your fellow fighters if you see them in trouble and it is safe to reach the,, if you're shot shout, if you hear screaming don't move...'' Hannah continues.

''The persons partner will sort it out, if your partner is shot protect their body, listen to Weaver and have fun shooting the fuckers that took over our planet without permission.'' Ben finishes.

They did this every time they went into battle. Recited to each other what they were meant to do. It helped keep the other calm and content that either of them would survive. Hannah leans up and kisses Ben's forehead and then his cheeks before kissing his lips. ''Stay safe.'' She whispers.

''You too.'' He whispers back closing his eyes and placing their foreheads together. ''I love you.'' He says.

''I love you too.'' Hannah whispers back.

They kiss quickly and return just in time to hear Weaver shouting for them to get into their vehicles. When they arrive, everyone walks cautiously, all sticking close to their fighter partner. Suddenly the unmistakable sound of mechs echos through the air and the first shot is fired, narrowly missing a man. Everyone runs forward into cover and Hannah and James begin shooting towards one particular mech, taking it down moments later. They smile at each other before another one spots where they are and shoots. They both duck quickly and Hannah scratches her head on the end of a twig, she feels blood begin to run down her face but ignores it, getting back into the zone and beginning to shoot at the mech that had aimed for her and James. Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang, is all that can be heard throughout the battlefield. Hannah hears screams but none are coming from James or near by so she stays focused letting her machine gun ammo loose onto the mechs.

Hannah reloads as the mechs begin to get on top of them, she shoots and shoots never missing the mechs head, but it just won't go down. She keeps shooting until another powerful gun takes it down, Hannah sees Hal in a truck shooting two mechs down. Hannah breathes out a sigh of relief as the battlefield goes silent. She smiles over at James and they fist pump and high-five in their own special way before hugging quickly. They were like brother and sister.

''Carnal Weaver, this way, the roads open!'' Hal shouts.

''About time!'' Weaver shouts back, gesturing everyone to come out.

Everyone begins to walk down towards the road, bringing their dead and severely injured with them. Hannah watches as James slings a dead fighter over his shoulder, she recognized him but couldn't think of his name. Ben approaches Hannah then and smiles at her, but his smile soon fades when he sees the now dry blood down her face.

''What's that from?'' He asks worriedly caressing her face.

Hannah rolls her eyes. ''I cut my head on a twig, stop worrying it is nothing.'' She says brushing him off.

They come out of the trees and walk towards their trucks and Hannah helps James place the fighter into the back on the truck lying the dead man down softly.

''That's the last of us, nobody left behind.'' Hannah hears Ben say.

''Right.'' Weaver mutters.

''For what it's worth Carnal, it worked, the unit bought us the time we needed, just gutted you didn't know the real plan.'' Hal says from his seat on top of an armored truck.

''Where's your father?'' Weaver asks.

Hal shrugs. ''He should have set the charges by now, should be out anytime.'' Hal says.

Hannah walks over to Crazy Lee and smile. ''Hey there mama.'' She says with a smug grin.

Crazy lee puts an arm around her. ''Hey there fire cracker.'' She says. ''What's the cut from?'' She asks beginning to rub some of the blood off the side of Hannah's face with a wet thumb.

Hannah laughs. ''Caught it on a twig whilst ducking from a mech shot, Ben thinks it's the end of the world.'' She mumbles.

Crazy Lee cuddles her. ''He just worries about you, the state you were in after your accident was horrific, I don't think he will ever be able to un-see that.'' She says.

Hannah shrugs. ''I know Lee but, it's annoy all he does it fuss if there's one scratch.'' She says.

Crazy lee taps her nose. ''Be thankful he cares.'' She says looking over at the dead bodies.

Weaver then approaches. ''What ya gaping at, move your asses.'' He orders.

Hannah waves at Lee and then walks towards Ben, James and Dannie. Ben placing his arm around her as they walk into a truck. He kisses her hair and begins to stroke it as they drive home. They hear the explosion as they travel home and they all cheer, knowing the mission was a success. When they return to Charleston Ben insists that Hannah has her head checked. She has her wound cleaned and then Lourdes places a plaster on it.

''See all it need was a clean, now can we go to bed now?'' Hannah wines hopping off the bed.

Lourdes laughs. ''He was just worried Hannah.'' She says.

Hannah rolls her eyes. ''Yeah sometimes he worries too much.'' She says smiling up at Ben and pressing her fists into his chest, something she had picked up from Maggie.

Ben smiles at her and goes behind her and wraps his arms around her waist. ''Thanks Lourdes see ya!'' He says beginning to walk Hannah forwards.

''Bye Lourdes!'' Hannah says.

They walk like this all the way back to their room, Ben holding her close to him whilst she entangles their hands together and bringing Ben's hands up to her lips and kissing them. ''I love you.'' She says as Ben unlocks their door.

He spins her around and kisses her lips as she shuts the door. ''I love you too.'' She says rubbing their noses together.

Ben looks over at their bed. ''No sex tonight, I just want to hold you in my arms.'' He says.

Hannah smiles up at him. ''I couldn't ask for anything better.'' She says.

They both undress, Hannah pulls a pair of Ben's boxers on along with one of his shirts whilst Ben climbs into bed in his boxers. ''You really do like wearing my clothes as pajamas don't you.'' He says clasping his arms behind his head.

Hannah climbs into her side of the bed. ''They're comfy and they smell like you, on the nights when you come into bed late, they comfort me, it feels like you're here even if you're not.'' She says smiling at him.

Ben pulls her close to him and Hannah begins to slide his necklace in-between her fingers. ''Perfect.'' She whispers kissing across his collarbone and down his chest before coming back up and kissing his neck. ''One day I will kiss every part of your beautiful body.'' She whispers snuggling into his chest.

''Ditto.'' Ben whispers into her hair before kissing her head.

Hannah smiles and cuddles into Ben more before drifting into a deep sleep, Ben looks down at her body, whispering to her how much he loved her before drifting off himself.
