Do you hear the Sirens Calling? (Ben Bruce/Asking Alexandria Fanfic)

Lock In

Danny’s POV

“I know where Siren is.” Stone said. “What? Really? Where, where is she?” the words came out rushed because I was so eager to learn where she was staying. “She is staying with me, my parents are away just now but Danny, I had to tell you, even though I promised Siren I wouldn’t. She and Adrian are leaving next week.” Stone voice was shaky, he was nervous about telling me. I didn’t no what to say, Siren was really going to just leave her sister. She wasn’t the person I thought she was. “I want you to try and stop her, she won’t listen to me but I think she might listen to B-”

“Ben” I interrupted him. “I think your right Stone, but first we need a plan.”

Ben’s POV

Danny had told me about his conversation with Stone. Siren was staying with him, I was glad that she was safe but also angry that she didn’t think to inform us of that fact and also angry that she was so close to us and we didn’t even think to check. Danny and stone had made a plan on the phone and I was one of the main pieces to the puzzle. Right now I was in Stone’s house waiting for Siren to get home. Stone was here but hiding, the plan was to lock Siren in one of the back rooms with me and for me to basically talk some sense into her and convince her to stay. I could tell this might take a while.

Siren’s POV

I was walking home from visiting Adrian, the business he had to deal with had finished earlier than he had anticipated, which meant that this time tomorrow I would be leaving this life behind. I couldn’t help but feel relieved that it would all be in the past soon. I walked up to the door, opened it and went inside, it was weirdly quiet. “Stone, are you home?” I shouted.

“I’m in the backroom.” He called back. I went through the house and into the room he had said he was in. but it wasn’t Stone in there.

It was Ben.

Suddenly I heard the door slam shut behind me and the lock turn. I ran over and started banging on it as hard as I could, “Stone, if you don’t let me then I will fucking kill you.” I rammed my shoulder into the door. “I’m sorry, Siren but I had to do this.”

I heard Stone’s footsteps becoming fainter as he walked down the hall and the front door slam as he left the house. I rested my forehead against the door. Great! I’m stuck in this room with Ben for god knows how long and I’m meant to be packing. I couldn’t even look at him not after what he said to me and what I did to him. I was so cruel.

I felt a hand on my shoulder, I shrugged it off. Ben sighed, I knew he was going to try and get me to stay but I was resilient and I would be leaving no matter what I had to do. “Siren please, I just want to talk, I want to understand.” Ben said. I turned round to glare at him, “You will never understand.” The hatred in my voice was prominent. I hated when people tried to sympathise with me. They didn’t know what I had been through and they wouldn’t believe me if I told them.

“Then tell me!” Ben was getting frustrated.

“You wouldn’t believe me.” I said, looking him straight in the eye.

“Try me.”

“Trust me you wouldn’t, I mean who would believe that a fourteen year old girl was left with her twin sister at a care home. That is was all her fault. Who would believe that this girl and dealt with years of bullying and had been adopted once before only to be abused by her adoptive parents. No one would believe that that same girl had then been sent back to the care home for fighting against them. That this girl then became depressed, that she cuts, that she was anorexic and had insomnia and suffered from anxiety and panic attacks. This girl later became reliant on sex, drugs and cutting herself to even get through daily life to support her sister. And worst of all no one would believe that that girl was me!”

Ben’s POV

I stood there in silence, letting what Siren had just said sink in. That was her real past and she hadn’t told anyone. I didn’t know what to do, so I just wrapped my arms around her. Siren was tense at first. “I’m so sorry, that happened to you. I’m sorry you thought you wouldn’t be believed. I’m sorry you’ve lost trust in everyone. I’m sorry you haven’t ever been loved.” I felt Siren muscles relax but her shoulders started shaking. I looked down and she was crying again. I led her over to the couch in the corner of the room and pulled her down onto me lap. I held her as she cried knowing that these were tears she had been holding in for years. I gently rocked her and sang to her. She looked so hurt, all I wanted to do was fix her up and make her mine.

Siren’s POV

Ben was holding me, I didn’t care that I was crying anymore, I didn’t care that I looked vulnerable or weak, I didn’t care because I felt safe in Ben’s arms, I felt loved and I felt happy.

My crying stopped after about an hour, I didn’t know I could physically cry that long. I looked up at Ben and he was stroking my hair. “Feel better?” he asked. I nodded shyly; my face was probably a mess. I was an ugly crier; I turned and hid it away before he could see too much. But Ben turned my face back to him and started scattering kisses all over it. He was avoiding my lips which was frustrating me, so I grabbed his face and smashed my lips against his. He took a while to respond clearly shocked at my sudden burst in confidence. After a while I stopped and buried my face in his shoulder. “Why did you kiss me?” Ben asked, he was a little out of breath.

Oh god, can I do this, should I do this! Oh well, here it goes.

Deep breath, Siren and let it go. “Because I love you.”

I once more buried my face in his neck, embarrassed and scared as to what his reaction might be, he had said he loved me but now was the time to see if he had been lying or not.

Neither of us had moved for a couple of minutes so I pulled away to see what Ben was doing. He had tears running down his cheeks but I smile tugged at the corners of his mouth, “I never thought you would say that to me.” I giggled slightly and replied, “Neither did I.” this time it was Ben’s turn to chuckle. I leaned in and kissed away his tears. Then I placed a kiss on his mouth again.

What started off as a small kiss soon escalated to Ben having his tongue down my throat, which in all honesty I didn’t really mind. He continued to explore my mouth as I placed my hands under his shirt and started running them up his back. I felt Be shiver at my touch and I couldn’t help but smile. I pulled his shirt over his head and then went back to kissing him. I had my hand on my hips when I felt Ben run his hand under my shirt and unclip my bra. Then he managed to pull both my shirt and bra off at the same time. This boy did have skills. I felt a little uncomfortable being this exposed to a guy. Usually I still had most of my clothes on. But Ben gave me a reassuring look, “Your beautiful.” He said. No one had ever said that to me before and it gave me the confidence to reach for his belt and soon his trousers were on the floor. Mine swiftly followed. Just as I was about to pull down Ben’s boxers he stopped me, “Are you sure?” he asked. I overcame the urge to roll my eyes which was good because he was only being nice I just nodded. Ben positioned himself over me and pushed in slowly at first. “Faster” I said. I wasn’t a virgin this was something I was used to. He sped up and after a while I felt my climax building in the pit of my stomach until I couldn’t hold any longer. We were a tangle of arms and legs, exhausted by what had to have been the best sex I had ever had.

Looking over at the clock I realised it was later than I thought. Ben and I decided to get some rest and before we settled down, he sent a quick text to someone. I didn’t see who though, he was angled to that I couldn’t but I had an idea.
