LITTLE RUNAWAY // Benson Boone x OC

In The Stars

guys
I am so upset...
I accidentally deleted the last chapter while I was writing it. 😭😭 So, I'm trying to write from memory. I'm so angry though because the draft was so beautiful 😭 So, ultimately if this chapter seems rushed that's because it is...I would have had more time to get it finished if I hadn't accidentally deleted the original draft. I just wanted to get a new chapter out to you guys as soon as possible. 🫤

Oh, this story does have some character development btw.

Ps: I was staying up until like 5 am working on this for like two days straight lol.

Also the song above Fix You by Coldplay is Fr going to be the theme song for this story lol 😆

[Benson's P.O.V.]

"BENSON!" My little sister Clare yelled from down the stairs, "Someone is here to see you!"

"Shit!" I muttered, ripping the bed covers off of me. I threw on a clean white sweater and raced down the stairs. There she stood, her frame perfectly outlined by a little blue sundress.

"Hey, Benson." She chimed, with a shy wave acquainted with a meek smile. Out of character for her, compared to her normally chipper up eat personality. At least the past times I've seen her.

"Hey, this is Clare my little sister. Clare this is Jailah." I introduced the two of them and was appealed to see that they got a long quiet well. Clare made her way up the stairs leaving Jailah and I to ourselves. Her eyes danced up on the wall that was adorned with our yearly family pictures.

I watched, utterly riveted by her breathtaking appearance. The way her lips parted as she took in the pictures. The way the sunlight reflected on her entrancing emerald organs of vision. Her dark brown hair that cascaded down her back in alluring waves. The way her nose had the most beautifully angled slope. I was memorized. She was certainly a work of art. She'd be admired everyday by me.

"Earth to Benson," she waved her hand in front of my face with a small chuckle.

"Oh, sorry," God I sounded like a complete idiot. She definitely thought I was some weirdo now.

"Yeah, you were staring." I only managed a nervous chuckle. It was like the nervous butterflies were eating at my insides.

"Yeah, sorry about that. I do that sometimes, no one knows why." She just gave me a small nod before gesturing to the pictures on the wall.

"Are these from every single year?" She inquired, staring back and forth between the pictures and me.

"Yeah, they are. Why?"

"No reason." She shrugged, "Hey, so are you going to show me those songs you told me about?" She smirked playfully.

"Oh, yeah right. Let me just get my guitar, it's upstairs." I quickly bounded towards the stairs and retrieved my guitar before taking one last glance at my appearance. I fluffed my hair and fixed my sweater a bit. When I came downstairs I saw Jailah in the kitchen staring out the sink window completely oblivious of my presence.

Sneakily and as quietly as possible I tiptoed behind her, "Boo!" I yelled. She let out a horrid scream before getting too caught up in a fit of giggles to even say anything.
