Okay, so here is the fourth chapter of Cold. I do not own Falling Skies. I need to explain some things for this chapter. First I have always seen Weaver as a father figure to Jimmy so when he finds out about Ben and Jimmy he sort of snaps and forbids them from being around each other which just ends up hurting them. Also if they are separated forcefully they won't pass out for awhile, but they will be in so much pain and agony that they can't really do anything and will eventually pass out after 2 or 3 days. Lastly, if they need to be away from each other for 2 or 3 hours tops they can, but it is physically draining on both of them.
Ben's POV
"Well, I'm a little bummed about not being able to go off on my own, but if I have to be with someone constantly, I'm glad it's with you." I told him truthfully. "Thank you for being truthful with me. To be honest I'm not exactly happy about not having freedom to do things by myself, but I'm happy it's with you and not someone I hate." Jimmy told me. "Okay let's make a deal right now. It's going to be you and me through thick and thin. We will be there for each other and we will live each day as if it is our last. We will protect each other. Agreed?" I asked. "Agreed." I smiled. "Good, lets go to sleep, it's been a long day for both of us." He nodded and I pulled him down to the cot and wrapped my arms around him.
~~~~Time Skip its Tuesday~~~~
Jimmy's POV
I woke up in Ben's arms as usual, but today was different. Today is the day that I have been dreading since the whole finding out we were soul mates thing happened. Today is the day we have to talk to Weaver about my part in the patrols. I sat up and gently shook Ben's shoulder. "Ben, wake up." I said. "Why!" he half groaned, half questioned. "Because we have to go talk with Weaver, so get your lazy self up." I said, getting on, slipping on my shirt and throwing him his.
When we arrived at Weaver's tent I grabbed Ben's hand and we entered together. "Jimmy, it's great to see you, how have you…wait Ben, why are you here?" He asked, then he looked down at our joined hands and looked even more confused. "Yeah, about that Captain Weaver I need to explain a few things." I turned towards Ben "Can you give us a minute to talk?" I asked. He nodded and kissed my cheek before leaving the tent, but staying close enough that we won't be in pain. "Okay explain." Weaver said and I did.
~~~~Time Skip after Jimmy is done explaining~~~~
"I don't believe you! You are probably lying to get out of going on patrols." Weaver accused. "Well it is true so you might as well get use to it." I practically yelled. Ben hearing my outburst decided that it was time to make and appearance. "Hey what's going on in here?" Asked coming up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. I instantly relaxed a little into him and that seemed to make Weaver angrier. "You! This is your fault. You put some kind of warped ideas in his mind. Get away from him." Weaver yelled grabbing Ben and pulling him off me. "Ben!" I cried out. "What are you doing you psycho path?" I yelled at Weaver. "Jimmy, I never want to see you with Ben Mason again and if I do I will send Pope to hurt him. Don't make me do that." He told me and grabbed Ben's arm and took him away from me. Please God let this be some sick joke, but I knew it wasn't. ~~~~Time Skip later that day around 3:00 p.m. that day.
Ben's POV
I feel like someone is slowly reaching into my chest, squeezing my heart, pulling their hand out and doing it all over again. Each time squeezing a little harder, and let me tell you it hurts like hell. I just want it to end, but Weaver is keeping Jimmy under 24 hour surveillance. Please just let this be over soon. I was pulled out of my thoughts by Hal entering the tent. He saw they tears running down my face and said what sounded like music to my ears. "I don't care what Weaver says. If he doesn't let you and Jimmy be together I am going to kill him." With that he sat down next to me and rocked me until I cried myself to sleep.
Okay that is the end of chapter 4 and I hope you enjoyed it. In the next chapter Hal and Matt each get a POV and Weaver gets taught a lesson, but it has been about 2 days in the story when the next chapter goes up. How will Ben and Jimmy fare in the next chapter? I know, but you'll have to wait and find out. Bye.
