Ben POV:
I slowly opened my eyes let out a big yawn. I felt Elizas head on my arm and turned to face her. She was still asleep, but she just looked so peaceful sleeping. She started to open her eyes too and smiled at me once they were open.
"Morning." I smiled.
"Morning." She smiled back.
"GOOD MORNING!" Carrie smiled popping up on the other side of me.
"HOLY SHIT CARRIE!" Eliza screamed jumping and pulling the blanket up to her shoulders.
"Well good morning to you too." Carrie laughed.
"Carrie, I love you but what are you doing in here?" Eliza laughed.
"I had a nightmare and Eliza wasn't in her bed so I came in here and just slept with you guys." Carrie smiled. "Have you guys ever realized that you two only sleep in underwear? Weird."
"Ok Carrie, why don't you go your room and get dressed because you have another audition today for Matilda." Eliza smiled.
"I think you two are the ones who need to get dressed." She laughed getting up.
"Shut up and go." Eliza laughed and she ran out.
"Well that was entertaining." I laughed.
"It was something alright." Eliza laughed. "Sorry about that."
"It's ok. She's cute." I laughed. I slowly leaned into her and let my lips press against hers.
"We really need to get dressed." Eliza said pulling away from me.
"I really don't want to." I said laying my head back down on the pillow.
"Come on!" She laughed and started to get up.
"No!" I laughed and wrapped my arms and legs around her, pulling her back into me.
"Benjamin!" She laughed as I rested my chin on her shoulder.
"No you're mine." I said holding her close.
"We can not make her late to this audition!" Eliza laughed.
"Fine. But this will continue later." I said and let go of her. I quickly got changed and soon enough we were out into the New York streets. Carrie walked fast in front of us as we walked behind her.
"Are you ready Carrie?" Eliza asked.
"Ready as I'll ever be." She laughed.
"I'm ready to get Starbucks." I laughed. We continued walking and we were almost there when Eliza grabbed Carrie's hand and pulled her and me behind a wall.
"What are you doing?" Carrie asked and Eliza just threw her hand over Carries mouth.
"I just saw dad." Eliza said.
"What?" I asked.
"I just saw my father waking down the street!"Eliza said.
"I thought he was in jail." I said.
"Yeah so did I." Eliza said. Eliza peeked around the corner slowly as I held onto Carrie. "Ok he's gone. Let's hurry up and get to this audition." She said.
"Are you sure it was him?" Carrie asked.
"Pretty sure I'd recognize the face of the person that beat me as a child, just saying." Eliza said. "I just want to get this audition over with. And go home." She said grabbing my hand and resting her head on my shoulder. We got to the audition and there weren't as many kids there as we thought there was going to be. When the audition was finally over we quickly headed back to the house. "How the hell did he get out of jail?" Eliza asked sitting down on the couch once Carrie was in her room.
"Maybe it was just somebody who looked like him. You are really tired, you didn't get a lot of sleep last night." I said.
"No I'm 100% sure it was him." Eliza said. "Oh my gosh what am I going to do. He's going to find us and some how ruin my life."
"But El, you are 18. And you legally adopted Carrie. He can't do anything to either of you." I said sitting down next to her and wrapping my arm around her, pulling her close to me.
"He can still find us and hurt us." Eliza said. I could feel her body shaking as I pulled her closer to me.
"Don't worry, I won't let that happen. I promise." I said and kissed the top of her head.
Eliza POV:
"Are we really going to do this?" I laughed.
"Why not. It'll be fun." Ben smirked.
"Ok." I laughed and pressed the record button on the camera. "Wait hold on I'm nervous!" I laughed and stopped the camera.
"Why El?" Ben laughed.
"Because somebody could see the video and make fun of us for it." I said.
"Nobody will make fun of us. People do this everyday! Now start the camera before I lose my interest." Ben laughed.
"Fine." I said and started the camera. "What's up everybody, my name is Eliza." I smiled.
"And I'm Ben Cook and this is our new YouTube channel." Ben smiled.
"So for our first video, we thought we would do a little Q & A!" I smiled.
"I put on my Twitter about it and joining us we have Carrie and Sarah Charles Lewis who were in Tuck Everlasting with me!" Ben said and the two girls jumped into the frame.
"Ok so our first question is from Sarah and she asked 'what was it like being in a touring production of a show?' And I'm directing this question right to Ben because I'm not a Broadway star." I laughed.
"It was a lot of fun going to the different cities and getting to see so many people. And it was great that I was able to tour with so many amazing people." Ben smiled.
"Sarah and Carrie, what is it like being a kid on Broadway?" I asked.
"ITS AMAZING!" Carrie laughed jumping up.
"It was so much fun! They have these like special events for kids on broadway which is super fun and it's a great environment to be in!" Sarah said.
"And people don't really great you like a kid. Like they do but when they are working with you, they don't talk down to us. They treat us very professionally and with respect." Carrie added.
"Oh I have a question! Somebody wants to know what it's like dating the best boyfriend ever." Ben smiled looking at me.
"I doubt somebody asked that." I laughed grabbing his phone.
"Well let's pretend somebody did." Ben smirked.
"I wouldn't know because I'm dating this loser." I laughed. We finished the Q & A and then uploaded it. "This is so exciting! Our very own YouTube channel!"
"It's going to be fun!" Ben smiled.
"Can we be in more videos?" Carrie asked.
"Sure munchkins." Ben laughed picking Carrie up.
"Now Carrie, you need to go pack for our trip!" I said and she ran off.
"This is going to be the best trip ever." Ben smiled. And I will be far away from my dad. Let's do this.
