Chap 3

Alexis's POV

I can't believe it. I know I'm supposed to be the strong one but I just can't believe it. Years threaten to push through the lids like a mob of angry villagers. We've left forever. Sophie's taking it the hardest. She hasn't slept in nights and Is nowhere near here normal self. She won't sleep until she's back In that little backyard staring at the stars that make her problems one of them. Just another thing out of her reach. Ben has been acting too weird lately . He won't look any of us in the eye and can't even be in the same room as Sophie. And then it hits me like a pound of bricks. Ben has something to do with this.

Bens POV

Alexis is on to me. I can feel her gaze like a knife in my back. If only she knew the have if it. The knife looks would become real. I have to relieve my conscious. But I need to do something else first.

Sophie's POV

I'm a mess. I'm tired and cranky and just can't get a grip on life. I know it's just a house to most but it's the only place I've really ever felt safe. So now I go on the roof but only during the day. Nothing can replace my backyard bed.

" hey ". I look over to see Ben the sun is setting so I know I should go in soon. " tell Brooke ill be in in a few" I say . But then he says something I didn't expect. " how's your day going". So he just wants a conversation. Ok . I can deal with that. We talk for a long time when I don't know what came over me but I kissed him. It felt good to me but he pulled back and in a flurry if words says the very words I dreaded. " I got someone to buy the house." He didn't have to say anything else because I was off tears made oceans down my cheeks. How could my own "brother" do this to me. I went to my backyard not caring if I became a criminal. Not caring if Brooke became a freakin one woman search party. I needed my backyard. The only way to get to it as fast as I did was to fly. So that's what I did
