Benjamin's P.O.V

I was walking down the street home from Matt's, it was pretty late, but I figured being a 6.3ft tall guy, I'd be right. And it wasn't like I hadn't done it plenty of times before.

I was wrong.

Tyres screeched and I whirled around o the pavement to see a car speeding down the street behind me, jump off the road onto the pavement and come flying at it, it's headlights blazing. I jumped to the side just in time, the car narrowly missing me. But as soon as I was on my feet around the car spun in a fast U turn and came after me again. I leaped over someone's front fence and the car came hurtling through it, sending wood flying everywhere. I ducked under a tree branch as the car reared right into the front window of the house.

WTF?

The doors to the car flew open and huge thugs with guys the size of their arms jumped out and aimed their weapons at me. I put my arms up in surrender, but they opened fire...

Zain's P.O.V

I was running, but it was like I was underwater. I saw the car leaped through the fence from the end of the street, saw it smash through the front window of someone's house. I saw Benji jump out the way, those weird guys come out with guns. I saw them open fire. Then I was screaming and whirling through colours... Bolting upright in bed. Saxon burst through my bedroom door in only his boxers, panting.

“What's wrong? Why are you screaming?” he asked me panicky. He had a baseball bat in one hand. I leaped out of bed and pulled my pants on, then froze. Wait, why was I panicking? I'd had some awful dream about Benjamin getting hurt. But it's okay, it was only a dream. I fell back onto my bed and sighed while my brother waited expectantly.

“Don't worry, just a dream,” I said, running my hand through my hair.

It wasn't.

Benjamin's P.O.V

I didn't feel any pain. Which was good because I didn't do well with pain. It was black, but that was because my eyes were closed. I shifted where I sat, realising I was now sitting somewhere, and it was uncomfortable despite it being slightly padded.

“He's stirring,” someone grumbled nearby. My eyes flew open to see I was sitting in the back of a black sedan. My hands and feet were tied with duct tape, and I could feel some over my mouth. There were four thugs in the car with me, the one driving was watching the road while the others were looking at me, holding their guns tightly. Wait, they'd opened fire, why wasn't I hurt? I looked down, my clothes were fine. Odd.

“Benjamin Andy Warner?” the guy closest to me asked. Should I nod?

I shook my head. The guy who'd asked me the question frowned at his friend. The friend growled.

“Don't lie to us boy, we're not those who like to be tested,” he hissed.

I nodded, reluctantly.

“Good,” he said and handed my attention back to his friend, who continued.

“Date of Birth 21st of the 3rd 1994. Mother: Sandra Jean Harper. Father: George Dylan Warner. Orientation: T. Action: A.N. Outcome: I.P,” the guy listed off. Hey, that was like that card in my box. But wait, the answers were different. What's going on?

“Alright, proceed,” the other guy said. It seemed he was the leader. What does AN and IP and T mean? Alien Number? Intelligent Person? Tank? Haha, yeah you bet I'm tank. Ugh, this is no time for jokes Ben, get your head together you're getting hysterical.

“Benjamin Andy Warner, we are issuing you a warning. Leave Zain Tyson Davies alone, break all contact, forget him, and we will leave you alone,” the first guy said. I gulped and shook my head. I would never leave Zain alone, not even if it killed me.

“First shock,” the guy said and pressed something out of my view. An electric current surged threw my body, making my shake uncontrollably. The pain making me scream against the duct tape and tears began to run down my cheeks. It stopped just as suddenly and I took deep breaths through my nose.

“Again, Benjamin Andy Warner, if you do not cease all contact with Zain Tyson Davies, you will be erased,” the guy said. I don't care, I wanted to scream at them. I wasn't giving Zain up for anything. I shook my head again.

Another current of electricity shot threw me, this one more intense. I felt my mind slowly loosing grip onto reality. This one lasted longer too. Then it stopped and I collapsed onto the floor of the back of the sedan.

“You have been warned,” the boss man said and then I closed my eyes and things went blank.

I woke up in my bed, my whole body aching, my muscles tight and strained. I groaned and tried to stretch out, but my muscles protested and I curled back up under my covers. I could still feel tear tracks on my cheeks and my pillow was wet from crying. I grabbed my phone from the floor and flipped it open. It was 7am, time to get up for school. The first thing I did was text Garret and asked him for a lift, then I pulled myself together, got myself out of bed, down the hall and into a nice warm shower. Like I'd hoped, the hot water helped relax my muscles and under the water flow I did stretches to help them loosen.

When mum knocked on the door telling me not to take to long, I reluctantly turned off the taps and wrapped a towel around myself. I heard my phone vibrate on my chest of draws from the bathroom, so I made my way back to my room to answer it. There were two. One from Garret saying yes to the ride. The second from Zain. I grinned and sat cross legged on my bed, still wet and in my towel, and read his message.

Hey, you walking to school? :)

Was all it said. I hit reply.

No sorry, I'm getting a lift :(

Zain replied almost instantly. Even though I waited anxiously for it.

:'( boo! I dreamt about you last night ;)

I literally shrieked with joy out loud and I heard something smash in the kitchen. Ops, but I couldn't stop grinning. Zain had dreamt of me, yay, I mean, he always did. But I hadn't seen him last night so how did he dream of me? Weird.

Oh really? I dreamt about you too XD

Was it amazing? LOL

Actually, you weren't in it, it was just about you! :P

Aww :( well you were actually in MINE! But it was a nightmare :P

A nightmare? About moi? Impossible! Every dream I'm in is a wet one!

Hahaha, you wish!

After Zain's last text I got dressed and went into the kitchen for breakfast. Mum was tossing a broken plate into the trash while Lace ate her bacon and eggs.

“Morning,” I said merrily and kissed both my girls on the cheek. Lace giggled and put greasy fingers all over me, while mum huffed and then smiled.

“And what are you so happy about?” she asked in that way mums always did when they know things.

“Nothing,” I said innocently cheeky. I sat down on a stool and mum handed me a plate of bacon, because I don't like eggs. I wolfed it down and finished it off with a glass of apple juice, then skipped to the door, shouted a goodbye to my family and grabbed my bag and headed out the door to wait on the porch for Garret. I replied to Zain while I waited.

So what are you doing after school? :)

His reply was instant, like always.

Oh you know, just hanging around with some idiot who's obsessed with me :P

Hahaha, funny, not. So anyway, do you want to come to mine? Or am I going to yours?

You can come to mine! My brother's going to be working late, again! XD

Awesome xx

xx? Since when did you get mushy?

Gosh, can't a boy be affectionate to his boyfriend from time to time? :P

Hahaha, of course he can, as long as he also accompanies it with lots of compliments!!!

HAH, you wish jellyfish!

Oh so you don't think I'm awesome? Well then, you'll have to find yourself a new boyfriend!

No, I was kidding! Zain don't leave meeeeeeee!!!!!!!

Hahaha, I'm not going anywhere babes. I have to go now, cya after school :)

Babes? Now who's getting mushy? C ya... babes!

Now I seemed to have a permanent grin on my face. How could I leave him alone? He made me so happy. I never even considered for a second to do what those men asked me. Was it even real? How could I be sure it wasn't just a dream? I woke up in bed after all. It was going to take more than electric shocks to break my spirit.

Right then Garret pulled up in his little car and I hopped over to him and hopped in.

“Good morning my good fellow,” I said to him as I shoved my bag by my feet and closed the door.

“You're in a good mood,” Garret stated, raising an eyebrow at me.

“There's a reason for that. And that reason happens to live a few doors down,” I chuckled.

“Oh god, don't tell me I'm giving him a lift too?” Garret groaned.

“You weren't, but since you're asking...” I smirked. Garret rolled his eyes and drove a few houses down, stopping at Zain's. I pulled out my phone and called him.

“Hey,” Zain's voice came through my phone. Mm, he had a sexy phone voice.

“Hey, you left yet?” I asked my sexy boyfriend.

“No, just about to,” he replied.

“Cool, we're outside waiting,” I said and hung up. No backing out now my lover. A minute later the front door opened and Nazza stepped out. Today he... OMG HE WASN'T WEARING HIS BANDANNA! Zain wondered down the driveway wearing a baggy grey v-neck sweater with the white button up school shirt underneath, the tie loosely sitting over top, and black skinny jeans. Red suspenders hung from his hips. His fringe was out over his face just like the Zain who visited me in his dreams, but his scar was there and so were his glasses. He looked smoking.

He grinned sheepishly at me and climbed into the back seat. I threw my seatbelt off, spun around in my seat and climbed into the back clumsily, throwing myself beside Zain and practically jumping on top of him. He chuckled before I grabbed his face and pressed my lips firm to his. I groaned with delight as Zain kissed me back urgently, both of us fighting the other with our tongues, trying to get closer and satisfy the longing that had built up since we'd last seen each other. Garret revved his engine and then threw the car into reverse out onto the street and sped down the street.

“You guys gonna come up for air any time soon?” he grumbled. But we ignored him. Kissing Zain was like... like kissing the sun. Hot, burning, fiery, electric, passionate, desperate. I was totally hooked on him. No one was taking him away from me. Zain and I laughed and pulled away, but kept our foreheads together as he panted.

“Morning,” he snickered, locking his eyes with mine. I loved those blue blue eyes.

“Morning,” I breathed back.

Zain's P.O.V

I looked deep into Benjamin's eyes and I couldn't help but smile. I couldn't believe that only a few weeks ago I'd watched him from a distance, too scared to even think of speaking to him, just wallowing in my one sided love. Now I was sitting in the back of his mates car, kissing him, dating him. And he actually liked me, ME!

So why did I have a feeling something bad was going to happen?

Someone screamed...

Everything slowed down...

The car lurched forward...

Tyres screeched...

Benjamin and I were thrown forward, both not wearing seatbelts...

Windows smashed, glass crashing in on us...

The car rolled...

I saw blood...

I was so scared...

Dun dun duuuuhhhhhnnnnnnnn............. stay tuned for next week when we return with another thrilling episode of.... GHOST NEVER SLEEPS!

*No one was harmed in the making of this chapter!

Except my cat when she jumped on the keyboard and i threw he across the room!

But that doesn't count... unless you're the Animal Protection People, in which case I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!
