@ezza- XD Yep, it's about time he finally pays attention to poor Tara. XD
_________________________
Tara was ready to let out a huge sigh of relief. Finally! Ben paid attention to her trying to her his attention! It seemed that no matter what she did, he was just going to keep on doing the wrong thing and try and make friends with Andrew, which wasn't the smartest thing. At all.
The ride was shaky, riding in his cupped hands. Most times, it would be on a palm, or in a loose fist, but never both. It kind of made her uneasy, and it almost felt as if she would fall any second. Ben walked around winding hallways- well, not really, but to Tara it seemed like it. For Ben, it was only a few feet, maybe a little more, before he stopped, slid his body down the wall, pulled his knees up, and set Tara down on one of them.
"What's up?" he started awkwardly, gazing down at her in concern, "You're not hurt, are you?"
Tara shook her head, Little curls flying everywhere, "No, I'm not. I just needed to get your attention."
"What's up?" he repeated.
"That guy in there. Andrew. Why the hell would you let him in??? He's dangerous!!"
"He doesn't seem that bad-"
Tara cut him off, "Don't you remember that story I told you? About how I wound up this way?"
"Yeah, your crazy ex was really a wizard in disguise and decided to shrink you so you couldn't leave him."
The brunette urged him on, trying to get Ben to put two and two together. It took him a few minutes. At first, he didn't understand what he hand movements were about, and thought she was having some type of seizure, but then a glassy look came over his eyes, and they widened after a few minutes.
"You mean... he's you psycho ex? The guy that... made you like this?"
Tara nodded slowly, feeling as if she was talking to a two year old and not some one who was seventeen.
Ben looked at her, shocked, "But he said-"
She cut him off again, "He lied. About most things. All he got right was that was knew each other since kindergarten. After that, zip. Zilch. Nada."
"I thought something was up with that story of his..." he started, but trailed off towards the end. His gaze turned back down to Tara, "So, what do you suggest we do? If he's that bad of a threat, he can't stick around here."
Tara only shook her head, "I have no idea."
"I won't let him touch you," Ben mumbled, not intending for Tara to hear in the least, but of course his whispering was her normal volume.
"That's gonna be hard to do. If he still wants me, that is..."
"He's still not coming near you."
Tears suddenly sprung in the small girl's eyes, "Please don't let him take me, Ben. I- I can't go back with him. I can't!! It was just..." she broke off, and tears fell down her face freely.
Ben wiped a few off with his little finger before scooping her up again and bringing her up to his chest, trying to calm her down. His fingers rubbed small circles on her back. "He's not coming near you," he whispered repeatedly, trying to soothe her.
Their moment, however, was interrupted by a loud scream. One that sounded like Jamie's.
