Ben smirked as Violet shifted a little in her sleep, her foot kicking his shin making her eyes flutter open.
She looked at him before her eyes widened and almost fell backwards off the couch if it weren't for Ben, of course. He grabbed the small of her back with his free hand before she could fall, and pulled her into his chest.
She looked up at him through her eyelashes and he smiled. His lips rings glinted in the light and he looked genuinely happy.
"How did this happen?" Violet mumbled closing her eyes again.
"You fell asleep on my shoulder and then I fell asleep and then I guess we moved around in our sleep or something..." Ben whispered, he would know... he had been thinking about her ever since woke up.
She nodded and sat up, Ben mimicked her movements and sat up beside her.
"I'm going to take a shower," Ben whispered standing up.
"Do you need some clothes, Ben? I didn't see you with any luggage." Vi asked, pulling her black hair into a pony tail.
Ben nodded and Violet padded into Lee's -- Ben's room and pulled out some clothes from the dresser.
"Here." Violet muttered handing Ben a neatly folded stack of clothes.
Ben thanked Violet before heading into the bathroom and turning on the water.
Violet went into her room and laid on her bed, picking at her nails as she waiting for her vinyl to play.
"I don't mind it, I don't mind if you're over rated, or if you're staring at the edge of the world." Violet sung quietly, repositioning herself so her hair was draped over the bed.
She let her eyes close as she sang along, "Keep and mind that I'm a sore eye with blurry vision, but I can see it has to be you love, that I've been dreaming of,"
"And if we climb this high I swear we'll
never die." A new voice joined in.
Violet gasped and fell backwards off her bed for what seemed like the fiftieth time today.
Her face turned a crimson red as she glared at Ben who was standing in the doorway smiling.
"You have a beautiful voice, Violet." He complimented making Violet blush even more, if that was even possible.
"How do you know that song, it's old." Violet whispered.
"I could ask you the same thing."
"Ugh, what do you want anyway, Ben?" Violet asked annoyed.
"Why did someone try to shoot you, you know why too, so don't even try lying." Ben said his eyes darkening.
"I have to go-"
"No." Ben snapped, gripping Violets shoulders.
Fear struck Violet so she began to explain herself, "My dad was kind of a war hero... which is good for us, but it means that he's made a lot of enemies. Same for my brother, you know? The people that you're killing, they're people's family, they're someone's brother, significant other, dad. So there are these two guys and Lee shot their brother and my dad shot their dad, so as you can guess they're really pissed and now they're coming after me."
Violet laughed in disbelief, "They think I don't know it's them, but I know. That was the first time in a month that they've tried to shoot me."
Ben stayed silent and removed his hands from Violet's shoulders. Instead he wrapped his arms tightly around her back, but not tight enough to hurt her.
"I'll protect you."
