Chapter 14

Amy reseted her on Ben's shoulder at the beach. It was their last day in Santorini, at night they were heading off on their way home. The water was less calm than usually, the waves we actually visible; the mediterran sea barely ever had any waves. The day was windier than usual, but still warm.

"I'm going to miss it here" Amy said.

"Me too..but it's nice to be getting back home"

On the beach it was common for people to be selling beverages, foods, and touristic souvenirs. One man came up to Amy and Ben from behind, his voice had a bit of a sutter and an american accent.

"Good, afternoon could I please you two to some beverages?"

Amy looked and her eyebrows furrowed "Joe?"

"Oh Amy Juergens and Ben Boykewich, wow so you two really got married huh?"

"Yeah we did.." Amy said with smile and held Ben's hand.

"Well congratulations.. would you both like a cocktail?"

"Uhh no thanks.. I don't drink" Ben said

"Well how about a mocktail? I can make you a virgin mojito or shirley temple?"

Ben looked at Amy and they both agreed to get a mojito. Joe took their orders and went off to the restaurant near by.

Joe went off to the restaurant to make the drinks. He began to make the sugar water, just then he was interrupted by a phonecall. Joe picked up the bag of sugar and continue pouring sugar. As he walked out of the kitchen he was approached by Enzo.

"So did you add the serum to the drink?" Enzo whispered.

"Yeah I did man, just like you asked" Joe said enthusiatically.

Enzo nodded and smiled "that's good, hopefully it work."

"Yeah well it's definitely in the drink,"

"Make sure Ben Boykewich gets the drink, and the not the girl"

Joe Hampton put his hand up "Yeah I got it, I know which one already"

Joe arrived at the beach and handed Ben and Amy their drinks. Amy took a small sip and made a face, and put her drink down.

"Woah that drink was a little sweet, I'm going to get a bottle of water"

Ben chuckled "Huh okay, mine's not too bad, I guess Joe went a little overboard on the sugar, I'll see you soon." Amy smiled and kissed Ben on the cheek.

Ben laid back on the chair. He felt his throat constrict, like their was a metball stuck in it, he suddenly got the feeling he was chocking. Amy was smiling and carefree as she walked to the spot where she and Ben sat.

She saw Ben splurtting and coughing, Amy dropped everything and started to panic. "Someone help please!" She yelled. She tried to prop Ben up to do helimich maneuver. He spat out some liquid, his face looked yellow, he'd lost all colour.

"Ben! Oh my goodness are you okay?What happened?"

Ben struggled to reply, he continued spitting out liquid. He managed to mutter a few words "I-'m th-ir-sty - salty"

"Salty?" Amy questioned.

Amy got some help getting Ben up and took him the restaurant in order to make a call to the hospital. It wasn't just that Ben choked, he was pale, sweating, and he had a high temperature.

They ended up in hosptial, and Ben got rehydrated, so much water had been drained out of his body. He had been examined and it turned out their had been powdered narcotics in Ben's drink. His drink had been spiked and he was forced to stay at the hospital for the rest of the night. Amy called the airline company and rescheduled their flight.

She came and sat next to Ben. She wondered why Joe would do something like this? She knew that back in high school he lacked ethics and would do anything for a buck, but drugs?

"I can't believe Joe did this, and to you of all people, why?"

"He went from being a gambler to a drug dealer, Amy the two aren't that much different. The guy will do anything for money"

Amy shook her head " But he was so smart, he did everyone's homework, how did he end up like this"

"I don't know Amy, sometimes people just do stupid things. "

"I just can't understand why he would do this to you, why did he put it in your drink not mine"

"Maybe someone is coming after me, wants to hunt the Sausage king's kid" Ben said with a chuckle

Amy went silent and just looked down ground, and Ben noticed the serious expression on her face.

"Come on Amy, I was joking"

Amy looked up and shook her head "No Ben it could be true, didn't your dad have business in Italy or Greece"

"He does have a little restaurant he owns in Italy, but it's not like he's got some huge company"

''I think we should call your dad Ben"

"Amy no I don't think anyone should know about this."

Amy bit her lip, she knew that Ben didn't want everyone to worry but she felt it was wrong to keep it hidden.

"Ben you could've been killed! Don't you think he has a right to know"

"My dad had a heart attack a month ago, I don't want to do anything that will distrub or stress him out"

"I know Ben but you know the right thing to do is to tell him"

Ben finally agreed and Amy called Leo. He was furious, but he hung the phone up rather quickly and didn't let Amy know what was going on. She tried not to panic and just sat on her church and rested. A couple of hours later the doctor came by and annoucned that the drugs had been drained out from Ben's body and he was told to stay hydrated. The doctor said that he was lucky to be alive, if he had drank anymore of the drink he could've died.

Ben and Amy both caught the to the States the following day. Amy was relived that Ben had slept the whole way. They both had reported what had happened to the hospital and the Greek police. There however wasn't any leads on the situation. Joe had apparently backed up and left the following, the manger of the restaurant did not know where he went. Joe had changed his cellphone number.

"It's okay Ben we're going back home and you're safe now it's all that matters" Amy said softly. Ben smiled, he allowed Amy to put her head on his shoulder. She eventually fell asleep but he stayed up the whole journey on the plane, worrying.

Back in Valley Glen, Grace and Sasha were at the diner having dinner. They were both having milkshakes and burgers.

"Grace, there's something I need to tell you"

Grace looked up from her milshake, she frowned at the serious look on Sasha's face.

"Okay go ahead" Grace said in superificial cheerful way.

"I'm going back home, to Lima"

"What! Why?"

"I haven't seen my family in a while, and being here seeing you with you're family, makes me realise how much I miss them"

"Oh right," Grace nodded, silently and ate her burger slowly.

"And I don't think you're ready to be with me"

"What do you mean?"

"Grace you've been acting weird around me ever since the wedding, I can tell you regret it, and that you think us being together was a mistake."

Grace pressed her hands to head, and messed about her hair.

"It's just I haven't been myself in a really long time and I haven't been able to tell anyone that"

Sasha reached out to grab, Grace's hand and smiled. "It's okay, I get it and as much as it hurts I have to let you go"

"I'm sorry Sasha,"Grace said softly.

"Me too"

Madison confirmed with the doctor that she was pregnant and broke the news to Jack. She was surprised at how supportive and happy Jack was towards hearing the news about a baby, that he even proposed. She thought he was going too fast but was so happy that he didn't get and so she accepted the proposal.
