Babe.

45.

Blanca.

I froze when I heard cars pull up outside in the driveway, Ty had said no one ever came here. It was when I heard voices that I really freaked out, I grabbed the baseball bat that I found upstairs in one of the rooms and positioned myself in front of the door. On the off chance that it wasn't the marshalls and was my psychotic Uncle, I needed to be prepared.

I frowned when I heard the lock turn, the intruders had a key? Before my brain could process the information and realise what was going on the door swung open to reveal none other than my boyfriend, his brother, my brother and our friends.

I let out a shriek of joy dropping the bat, "ohmygod! You're here! You're really here!"

Sprinting towards him I flung my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist, Benny caught me easily his arms pulling me against him into a crushing hug, "miss me?"

"You have no idea," I replied breathlessly, I was smiling so hard that my entire face hurt. I wrapped my arms tighter around him as Benny moved aside to let everyone in from the freezing cold, "I'm so sorry I didn't say goodbye. I really wanted to I was just scared they'd catch me if I did."

"It's okay," Benny said quietly as he pressed a kiss against my cheek, "I'm just glad you're okay baby."

Oh my heart.

Still grinning like an idiot I untangled myself from him and went to say hello to my friends, "you're so dumb, you scared the hell out of us," Emmanuel said as he pulled me into a hug that was so tight he almost cut off my air supply.

"I missed you too E, and I'm sorry I scared you, I just couldn't risk being sent there." I explained smacking his hand away as he tried to mess up my hair, it was already messy enough. I was so beyond glad that he was my brother, yeah we fought sometimes and he could be a pain in my ass but I still loved him. In fact he was probably my favourite sibling, I loved Alfie and Ella and I knew you weren't supposed to have favourites but I did. My older brother was one of my best friends.

"BB!" Kya, Tilly and Nika collapsed onto me as soon as Emmanuel let go, "oh my gosh we missed you so much!"

I grinned widely, "I missed you too girls."

"You held out for three days?" I teased Ty laughing, "wow."

He rolled his eyes smiling widely, "please, I did you a favour. You would have died of boredom out here all by yourself."

"You're right," I agreed hugging him, "I totally would have."

Shockingly he hugged me back, I knew Ty wasn't big on having people in his personal space so I considered this a huge success. "What would I do without you?" I asked laughing.

"Go insane?" He offered smirking.

"Funny." I replied sarcastically.

"I know."

Luckily for a small cabin it had a decent amount of rooms which meant there we enough for all of us, well enougb for each girl to share with her boyfriend and Ty to get his own room which he'd repeatedly told us was non-negotionable because he didn't want to share a room with any of us freaks. He was such a brat, I loved it.

"I brought you something," Benny told me pulling a bag out of his back pack, "I figured you might need some new clothes."

I absolutely did, "thanks you're an angel." I told him gratefully grabbing the bag. I smiled when I saw a green hoodie of his in the bag, "does this one look better on me too?" I asked amused.

Benny grinned as he pulled off his T-shirt, that had been sticking to him because it was so wet from the rain, so he could dry himself off. "Blanca everything looks better on you."
