Meademas Girl

Reunited

Ben Pov
after coming off the phone to my sister i head into the kitchen where Liv was my face obviously giving away my worry and stress, "you ok, who was it?" she asks me whilst giving me a kiss on the cheek, pulling her in for a side hug to show my appreciation of her care i fill her in on the conversation with Beth briefly, "i've just had my sister on the phone, Y/n has called apparently in a full blown panic attack crying her eyes out i dont think she can handle the uncertainty and lack of routine without beth or viv here" i tell her a look of sadness coming across her face. "you better go up and see her make sure she is ok, it just breaks my heart knowing she struggles like that" she replies to me whilst signalling her head in the direction of the stairs, i nod in agreement with Liv's comment i felt awful that this had happened, we shouldn't have pushed her at dinner, we should have listened, we should have let her dictate how she wanted the evening to go but instead i didn't think. I mean what kind of shitty uncle allows her niece to get in this state and not know. I climb the stairs and head into beth's and Viv's room the only room that would offer her comfort when she was in a state like this.

i gently open the door being careful not to scare the poor girl, my heart broke at the site i was met with. A small vunerable little girl who was curled up on her parents bed knees into chest and her arms wrapped round herself trying to find the comfort she so desperatley wanted. I go join her on the bed one hand wrapping around her petite body and the other stroking her back, sobs still escaping from her her eyes fixated on the plain wall herself, she was broken. This was more than just Beth and Viv going away there was something else but i knew now was not the time to ask, her breathing started to slow and the fast irregular rising of her chest seemed to regulate, her eyes starting to get heavier, the events and emotions of the day obviously getting the better of her. I look over to the clock that sat on Viv's bedside table 9.34pm Beth shouldn't be too far away know it was a good hour and half drive, i looked back over to y/n debating wether to tell her that her mum was on the way but i knew if i did that she would fight of the sleep more and that wouldn't help the situation. "you can sleep bug, i'm here i'm not going anywhere i promise" not expected a reply i was more than shocked when a small quiet, "i love you Uncle Ben" whispered out of the samll girl, "i love you too Bug" and with that she gave in to her tiredness and fell asleep.

After her chat with Sarina, Beth ran off to grab her jumper and phone and headed off home in the taxi that had been organised for her, none of the team had any idea of Beth's dissaperence nor where she was going so a couple of raised eyebrows where shared when Beth ran into the chill room to get her belongings.

On her way back home Beth used it as the oppurtunity to phone Viv and explain to her what had happened,
and in ususal protective mum mode Viv immediatley panicked, "Beth ill book the first flight home i can" she said down the phone, of course Beth didn't want this for Viv it wasn't that she didnt want to see her it was that Beth new how much it meant to Viv everytime she represented the netherlands however she also knew that Viv would drop anything if her daughter neeeded her. "Vivi it's ok im going home now to her and Sarina has offered for me to take her to camp for the remainder of it" this seemed to ease Viv's mind, "Ok but if there are any problems or she wants to stay home call me and ill come straight home" Beth promised to do so and ended the call with Viv just as the car was pulling up outside the meadema household.

Beth POV
the car pulled up outside the house and i thanked him and headed back into the home that i only left about 5/6 hours ago, however this time it felt different. Silence hung around the rooms of the house i headed to the living room in hope to find my brother or Olivia but to my suprise it was empty, "hello" i shouted up the stairs as i started climbing them, "hey" Olivia whispered back whilst emerging out of y/n's room, i pulled Olivia into a hug, "im so sorry about this i hadn't expected for it to pan out like this and.." Olivia stopped my train of apology, "Beth you don't have to apolagise at all, this is nobody's fault. She is fast asleep on your bed Ben is in their with her and i've just been packing her a bag." I was so grateful for Liv's help she was such a kind geniune girl and i couldn't be happier that my brother chose her.
