maroon -benvi story

Look at me

Saanvi looks at her phone.

Michella texted

Saanvi looks at the message that says 'Hey Saanvi,Ben's hiding out again.Im wondering if you can come by and see him.Ps:Cal would love to see you.'

She texts back saying 'I will be there to 10-15'

She grabs her keys and locks her door.

She got into her car and drove to Michellas.

She goes upto the door and rings the bell.

Michella answers the door.

"Oh thank god you could come." The blonde tells the black haired woman.

Cal walks up to Saanvi an hugs her.

They would stay like that for about a minute.

"Dads not okay,Saanvi."

'Shit..It's because he lost his wife and his daughter is missing.I see why Michaela texted.' She thought.

Cal puts his hand up to her ear and whispers, "I told aunt Mic to call you.I know your in love with my father."

"Cal,can you take Saanvi up to your dad?" Michaela asks.

"Yea,come on Saanvi."

Cal takes Saanvi up to the attic.

"Dad,you have a visitor."

"Please,just go." Ben says.

Saanvi walks a little closer to Ben. 

She crouches down.

"Ben." She says to him.

His head would be turned away.

"Look at me,Ben

He looks at her,knowing she would smack him if he didn't.

"Cal,can you go?You don't have to worry." She asks Cal?

"Oh,uh,yea." Cal goes back downstairs.

She turns her head back to him.

She stands up and sits on his bed next to him.

"Ben,Mic is worried,like really worried,so is Olive,Zeke,and Cal."

She pulls out her phone and shoes him the messages from the past couple days Olive,Zeke and Michaela sent her.

"And I'm also worried."

Ben just looks at her.

"You don't understand,I'm trying to find Eden and they are distracting me."

"What you should be doing is planning your wife's funeral with your kids and sister!"

"Do you mind leaving?"

She puts her hand on his face.

"I'm not leaving.Im worried,I know your trying to find eden,but atleast change and go downstairs,Maybe we could grab lunch."

"Fine,I will go downstairs,just leave and wait outside the attic door."

She smiles and heads down the stairs.

She opens the attic door and walks out,waiting by the door.

She types another message to Vance saying 'Wow,No answer,It feels like I'm being ghosted,Please just answer me Vance,It doesn't matter when but I need to get up and running again.' She hits send.

Ben comes down about a minute later.

"Wow,you actually listened." She tells him.

"Your being sarcastic,You made me get up."

They walk down to the first floor.

"I got him up." She smiles.

"She made me get up." 

Saanvi smacks his head.

"Ow."

"See,Aunt Mic,I knew Saanvi could get dad up." Cal says.

"We are going out for lunch." Ben says.

He grabs his wallet and house keys.

"My car,I'm driving." Saanvi says.

"Okay."

 They leave and go to a cafe around the corner.

"I will order and pay." Saanvi says.

"No,No,I'm gonna pay."

"You sure?"

"I'm positive."

They up to the counter.

"Hello,Can I get a salad please with Italian dressing?"

Ben orders his food too. (I had no idea what to put for Ben's food."

Ben pays and when their food is ready that grab it.

They sit at a table and eat,talking.

They finish there food and as they are walking out to the car they continue talking.

"I have to pay you back."

"I don't want money."

He opens her car door.

"Thanks but what do you want me to owe you?'

He gets in the car.

"I'm gonna use what you owe me eventually,it's whatever I want." 

"Okay."

"I will be there for you whenever you need me."

She drives him home.

"Bye Saanvi."

"Bye Ben."

-now it's 2 year time jump-

I get a phone call.

Holy shit,It's Ben. 

"Hello?" He says.

"Oh,Uh,Hi Ben,Your calling after 2 years."

"You know how you owe me a favor?"

"Oh Yea,I remember." 

"I would like to use that favor today."

"Shit,why today?"

"Please,can you just come by?"

"Fine.I will be there soon."

I leave the office and go to Ben's.

He opens the door.

"Now what's the favor?"

"Come upstairs."

She follows him upstairs.

He sits on his bed.

She sits next to him.

He holds her hand.

"I love you,Saanvi."
