Chapter 8

"hey are you alright?" i asked ben also known as benedict. it has been six months since my mother and i found him infront of our house. we immediately brought him inside because of his high fever. after a week he woke up with no memories. two days after philip decided to find his parents by printing his photo to the newspaper but days were past we heard nothing. renee decided to keep him until his memories came back we named him Ben. but 4 months past we started to lose hope at the same time we felt relief that he could still be with us. for me he was a brother i never had even renee was happy that he was here. he always guided me on everything. he always their when i felt sad,happy,excited or mad. he always protected me and always made us laugh. every weekend he was with philip teaching him on baseball that both of them enjoy..two weeks past he confessed to us that his memories were back. i felt scared at that moment because we didn't want to lose him.

"mom" ben said as we sat down for dinner. he already called renee mom because renee insisted .

"yes?"

"i have something to tell you..."

"what is it?" philip asked.

"ahm... i can remember now."

 silence.

"what?" i asked.

"my memories are back...just this morning." ben.

"well...t-that was good news...what do you remember." i could tell renee just show him a fake smile.

"everything.... ahhh....mom"

"yes..." this is it he will tell us that he wants to go back to his family and all...

sadness written all over my face it was a good thing that he didn't look at my direction.

"well, ahm... base on my memories my parents are gone....and i have no where to go... c-can i stay here?"  his voice was uneasy.

"o-of course ben you can stay here as long as you want... you are part of  the family now."

"absolutely." i agreed... thank god... he will stay....

"thanks...mom... i feel so relief" he smiled.

"you are very welcome." renne said.

we spend that night asking all about him... he told us how his parents die on a car accident without anything left for him... he spend his days on the street he sleeps anywhere, for his bad luck he was caught in a heavy rain...and that is why we found him infront of our house with a very high fever.

"yeah i'm fine why do you asked?" ben asked we still call him that even if we know his real name was benedict. we thought that it was a good nickname for him.

"nothing..." but it was something... i could see through his face that something wasn't right.

"bella.."

"what?"

"can you promise me something?"

"what is it?" curious...

"can you promise me that whatever happens you are still my little sister and i'm your big brother.."

"i'm not little ben."

he smiled just a little.

"ok my big sister then...can you promise?"

"ok i promise..."
