PART 9

When he looked at her he saw the pain in her eyes and he felt sorry for what he’d done. His heart told him that he’d hurt her again ”Sorry” he whispers, but of course the pain in her eyes didn’t fade away... ”Oh, sorry???? Why did you want me to help you? You need me just as a toy, if you want you can play with me and the rest of the time I should shut up and leave you alone... but I won’t. I’ll do this on my own, without you and if I die... well nobody cares. I can’t belive what a fool I’ve been, to think that you really meant what you said to me in that night, I’ve belived it all the years we haven’t seen each other... I’m so stupid. So please excuse me, I’ve a job to do.” She quickly walked towards th door that led to the staircase, but he was faster. He put a hand on her shoulder and turned her around. She looke at him, wanting to scream and shout at him and to insult him, but his brown eyes trapped her mind. Her knees went weak again, but he hold her and she didn’t fall and didn’t faint. He looked sad ”Do you want to know why I pushed you away?” She wanted to answer, but he was too fast ”loving each other would make us weak, showing it to the others would be our end... and by the way, I told you the truth that night, and it is still the truth...” She felt a little bit stronger ”I agree with not showing, but Benny I won’t, I can’t and I don’t want stop loving you (isn’t that a song by Michael Jackson the king of POP  ). Even if I hadn’t recognized you so fast I would have fallen in love with you, because you’re still the same person that you were some years ago, and I still love you (ohoh, how slushy)” He blushed and looked to his feet ”Are you sure?” she nodded ”And do you still want to help?” me he asked ”even together with me?” she nodded again and he smiled, his body didn’t feel as heavy as it had just four minutes ago. ”But I got one rule.” he said and by the look on her face his heart samk again, she looked at him not sure what he was going to say and with a sad expression on her face, because she was expecting something. He coughed and then started ”As long as we’re on that mission (now I know why you wanna hate me, coz hate is all the world has even seen latly ) we’ll throw ALL of our emotions in the back of our minds, there’s no other way. It’s too dangerous if we devote our attention to each other instead of rescuing them. I’m not sure how much time we have... I’ve heard something about capital punishment and executions to be reintroduced in every country in this whole wide fu*king world and I’m not sure how long it’ll take untill they’ve established it... so we need to hurry...” She nodded again, she knew that he was right, but she was nevertheless a little bit angry about him. He talked without big emotions and that made her sad and angry. It was clear to her why he behaved like that, but she couldn’t deal with it. So she kept quiet and helped him with preparing their journey. He protested sometimes, that she was too weak, but she didn’t listen to him, she just kept on working quietly. At about 10pm they were ready and he had to admit that he hadn’t been ready without her. They both took a bag and went back trough the tunnel and the waterfall. But this time they didn’t walk back to town, he led her trough the plants to a small clearing, where a car and another person seemed to wait for them. When they came nearer she recognized the guy at once. ”Olli!” she shouted and huged him .”Hey, not so loud” the guy answered with a smile ”nice to see you again!!!”. She also smiled, but soon a suspicious look fell on her face ”Why are you two in contact? He said, that he hadn’t talked to one of his old friends...” Olli was still smiling ”So, you’ve already recognized him, have you? I was sure that you’d get it very fast, I’ve told him, but he didn’t belive me. And he has already told you his story... wow, I didn’t thought that you’d come so far.” he stopped and looked at the Teddy in her hands. with a fat grin he started to speak again ”Of course the Teddy... so you remember everything... right.” his grin grew wider ”I’m not completly sure what had happened between you in the night after the prom, but it has to be enough, love will always find a way....” Benny looked at him with anger in his face ”There’s no love affair between us, so shut up. We’re already late you can explain her everything on our way to London. The journey with the fairy will last some hours, so c’mon, time is running out!” He loaded all the bags in the car and so he didn’t see the pain in her eyes, she almost cried, but Olli cheers her up ”He’s the most stupid person I’ve ever seen. He loves you, belive me you should have seen him the last year... he didn’t wash the Teddy once and he talked about you a lot... so don’t worry, he’s just behaving that way to protect you, for him you’re still the girl you were at school, he didn’t realise that you got older, too.” Her head nodded, but he could tell by the look in her eyes that she wasn’t completly convinced of what he’d said. ”Hey you two” yelled Benny, sounding a little bit jealous, because Olli was still holding her ”stop it, we gotta go” She looked at him without saying a word and Olli sat down behind the steerin wheel. She was still looking at him and then she started to move towards the sit next to Olli. Benny was a little bit surprised that he had to sit in the back, but he didn’t say anything. They drove to the coast and there they took the fairy to cross the northsea to be in England tomorrow. On the fairy Olli explained, that he’d moved in the same town as Benny about one year after the end of school, it was the time Benny’s father had died and he’d been gratefull for having an old friend by his side. Olli was going to help them as good as possible and while they were talking about school she slowly felt asleep. When she awoke the next morning she laid in a bed in a hotel in London and Olli sat next to her bed on a chair and waited for her opening her eyes. ”Good morning” she almost whispered, her body felt like stone. He smiled ”Morning, did you sleep good?”. She nodded and there was only one question in her mind ”Where’s Benny?” she asked
