Eliza POV:
"I can't do this. She probably hates me." I aid as Ben dragged me down to Carries foster home.
"Eliza, come on!" Ben said. "You moved back in with me a couple days ago, we got you a new job, we are good. She will understand." We walked up to the door and I rang the door bell.
"Elizabeth, your back!" The lady said.
"Your real name is Elizabeth?" Ben laughed.
"Keep laughing and I will punch your face in." I said holding up my fist. "I'm here to take Carrie home."
"I'll go call for her." She said. We followed her into the house and within minutes, Carrie came running down the stairs. She ran right over to me and grabbed me in a hug.
"I thought you were never coming back." Carrie cried as I held her.
"I wanted to, I really wanted to. But I couldn't come see you and tell you I couldn't take you home yet. But I'm here now and we can go home. Home home, with Ben." I said as I ran my fingers through her hair. She pulled back from my hug and her little eyes met Ben's.
"You kept your promise." She smiled with tears in her eyes.
"Of course I did." Ben said and she grabbed him in a hug.
"I know I'm the worst sister ever, I can't keep a job, I run away from everything, and I break every promise I make. But most of all, I let you down and I am so sorry." I said.
"I just wanna go home." Carrie said.
"It's been a joy having her here, she's a great girl." The lady said coming in carrying Carries bags.
"Thank you so much." I said. Ben picked Carrie up, I grabbed her bags and we headed out.
"Can I tell you guys a secret and you both not get mad at me?" Carrie asked as we walked back.
"Of course." I said.
"You two both love each other and I think you should date." Carrie said.
"We know." Ben smirked looking over at me.
"Wait really?" She said.
"We are a little ahead of you already." I laughed grabbing Ben's hand in mine.
"SO YOU TWO ARE DATING?" Carrie freaked.
"You could say that." Ben smirked.
"This day just gets better and better." Carrie laughed. We got back to Ben's apartment and Carrie instantly ran to her bedroom.
"It feels good to be back." I smiled.
"I'm just glad I can finally call you mine. I've been waiting over a year for this." Ben smiled. I grabbed both of his hands in mine and gave him a quick kiss on the lips.
"I'm gonna go help Carrie get re-settled in." I said and headed to the room. Why did I ever leave this, him?
Ben POV:
"Hey Ben, can I borrow your phone?" Carrie asked walking in.
"Shh, your sister is asleep." I said. Me and El were watching a movie when she fell asleep on me. "Why do you need my phone?"
"I haven't been able to text any of my friends in 6 months! They probably think I'm dead!" Carrie said.
"Here you go." I said tossing her my phone.
"Thanks." She smiled and ran off. Damn I'm really hungry. But it I move Eliza will wake up. But I want foooooooood. But Eliza is more important to me. Besides, she looks so peaceful sleeping. I can't reach the remote, the movie is over, and I don't have my phone anymore. I felt a small movement and I looked down and Eliza was opening her eyes.
"OH DAMN IT I MISSED THE END." She said sitting up.
"It's ok, it wasn't that great." I laughed.
"I'm hungry can we get some food?" Eliza asked.
"I was thinking the same thing." I laughed. "CARRIE, LETS GO EAT!"
"IM FACETIMING WITH SARAH!" She screamed.
"That girl really needs her own phone." I said.
"I can barely afford my phone. She will survive, she's only 10." Eliza said.
"Yeah but she keeps stealing my phone." I laughed.
"COME ON CARRIE!" Eliza screamed.
"Before Elizabeth comes in there and gets you!" I laughed.
"Ok I'm actually going to murder you." Eliza said glaring at me.
"If it makes you feel better, my full name is Benjamin." I smiled.
"I hate my full name though. Never say it again." She said.
"What's Carrie short for?" I asked.
"Carolina. But I hated that name so when she was born, I called her Carrie and it stuck." Eliza said.
"Here's your phone Ben." Carrie said running in and handing it to me.
"Thanks short stack." I smiled.
"What ever happened to Chloe?" Carrie asked.
"She broke up with me the same day I lost you guys. Never seen her since." I said. "But it's ok because now I have the girl of my dreams." I smiled hugging Eliza.
"Ew don't be cheesy." Eliza laughed.
"You are such a bum." I laughed.
"I was promised food so let's go!" Carrie laughed. I have both of my girls with me, and I get to call Eliza mine. It was a fought 6 months...but everything is back to normal. Right?
