Runaway....

FRIDAY 22ND APRIL 2022
 
It was Ben's last day of suspension today, and then it was the weekend, he had been helping around the house, getting Maya dressed, cleaning up the mess, just genuinely doing everything that would keep him on our good side. Which was nice considering it gave me a lot less to do. I had just finished my home workout with Ben and I was really excited with his progress. He was nearly pressing the same weight as me and his deadlift form had really improved. His cuts and bruises had healed pretty well and so had Venus's. I needed to get our food shop and offered Ben to come with me, he wanted to help as much as he could so he joined me.

*Time skip*

We had just put maya to bed and demi was getting very touchy with me, but she was being very subtle because of Ben. We were cuddling on the sofa, watching movies with Ben. We had ordered takeout so I didn't have to cook, all the leftovers were put in our microwave but it still heavily smelled of Chinese food. I noticed Ben falling asleep opposite us, so did Demi, which, only fueled her drive even more, with both kids asleep we didn't have to worry about getting caught. I felt her sucking on my neck, purple marks visible there very soon, her hands began to wander up and down my body until they slid into my shorts, I stopped her there, grabbing her hand and pulling upstairs so we could continue...

Venus pov:

I got in from the store, basic essentials like toilet paper, hair products, body wash, washing up liquid, etc in the bag I was holding. I checked my watch for the time, 10:30pm. Shit. Half an hour past curfew. I walked into my house as silently as I could, my dad passed out on his chair yet again, surrounded by beer bottles, like usual. I grabbed a few of the bottles putting them on the kitchen counter, I put the stuff away quickly but quietly and headed to my room.

After 10 minutes of watching videos on my phone I heard that terrifying clattering of bottles that I hated so much. he was awake. I shut off my phone, pretending to sleep when he burst through the door. "I know you're awake." His slurred voice managed to get out I turned to face him, noticing the bottle in his hand. "C'mon dad let's get you to bed." He shook his head "you're in trouble, you were late for curfew" my heart started pounding in my chest"dad I'm sorry- my trip at the store ran over." "Not an excuse son" "dad please" I begged him, getting out of bed. He raised the bottle into the air slamming it down towards me, I narrowly dodged this strike, shutting my bedroom door behind me, he was having an episode again, his manic ones, the ones he said were fine. He chased me into the kitchen, the now smashed bottle in hand. I thankfully was quicker than him, I grabbed a bottle behind me, smashing it on his head, knocking my dad clean out.

I didn't know what to do, where to go, so I ran, as fast as I could, out of the house down the street, finding myself at Ben's house. With no other option I frantically began knocking.

Y/N pov:

I interrupted demi after hearing a frantic knocking on a door. "Dem. Demi stop. There's someone here" I said pulling her head away from me, "who could possibly be here at this time hun" "I don't know..." The knocking stopped after Ben shouted a loud "Venus" out of the front door. I put my clothes back on, running downstairs to find a very shaken up ve on the sofa, Ben holding them tightly. "C-can you call the police" they said, shaky voice, thick from crying. I nodded dialling 9-1-1 for them, passing them the phone when the attendant picked up. "I-its Carlos, my dad had another episode. No. No, I'm not hurt, he's at home knocked out. I'm at a friend's house. You are not putting me back in foster care!" They then looked at me "please don't make me go-" "I'm not going to. Stay here as long as you need, I'll get the guest room set up for you."

I took the phone off them "yeah ve-" they shook their head, telling me not to say anything "carlos can stay here as long as he needs. No there's no relation, he's my sons best friend. Yeah, I'll take him home to get some stuff after his dad has been taken away from the house. Okay, thank you bye." I looked at Venus, examining the bruises on their arms, I'm guessing from how their dad held them. "He do this a lot Ve" to which they nodded, demi handed them a cup of tea, keep them warm. I was worried about their health, they couldn't go back there, it wouldn't be right. Demi was feeling the same, I knew she was, she couldn't stand looking at a child being abused.

It took a moment but we got the confirmation call that their dad was no longer at the premises and they'd be able to get their things. I waited with the child service officer while they got everything they needed, when they came outside they were asked a few questions before being allowed to leave. Which gave them the permission to stay with me, Demi, Ben and Maya until their dad had been sober for at least a month. When we arrived at home demi had set up the spare bedroom with supplies for Venus, clean clothes, deodorant, toothbrush, charger, everything they needed. It took them a total of ten minutes to fall asleep and once they were out, they were gone. Demi was worried about them, I knew she was, but I reassured her that they were in good hands. We went to bed, and pretty soon after Demi's head hit the pillow. It took me a little while to get to sleep, but her calming heartbeat against my ear was enough to help me sleep...
