Aubrey’s P.O.V.
“What are you doing here?” Ben says he stiffens at the sight of our dad. “Hey you respect me I payed for half of the time you were in here. Ben quickly takes the button from the side of the bedside and clicks the button. “Just leave you are not my guardian and I don’t need the act right now.” “You will respect me you hear me?” My dad spits in my brothers face. “Get out!” Ben shouts almost getting up until a couple male nurses came in. I soon see that Cobie followed behind them. The nurses start to struggle to get my dad into the hallway.
I run over to Cobie tears spilling from her eyes. “He didn’t touch him right?” “No just yelling.” I look over and see Ben looking straight at us concerned. Then I look over to see my dad. God I hate him. “You're the reason why he is messed up.” My dad say looking between Cobie and I.
“No you messed it up yourself.” Cobie screams in my dad’s face. My dad gets out of the nurses grip and starts walking towards Cobie. Oh God not this again. The nurses pull him back again. “Stay away from them or I swear to God I will kill you right here.” Ben shouts over the nurses yelling, me and Cobie’s crying, and my dads yelling.
Cobie’s P.O.V
I walk back into the hallway letting Aubrey talk to Ben since they got interrupted when there dad came in. Tears still stained my eyes. Ariel's is now sleeping. Maybe he will remember me.
Flashback
Finally Friday all I wanted to do is go to bed. Thank God my mom isn’t home. I unlock the front door. Cookies full my senses. Mom must have baked cookies before she left, she had a business trip in North Carolina she said she I would be home alone from Friday until Thursday. I set my book bag down and go into the kitchen. I grab a M&M cookie and went into the living room.
Oh my God. Someone is laying on my couch I slowly run to my room and shut the door. I hide behind my shelf. The door slowly creeps open. I am shaking so hard. My heart will burst at any moment. The black figure turns the light on. Luckily the shelf covers my whole body. The only problem is that I couldn’t see the body.
So this is how if feels like to be dead. My heart hasn’t been beating for like a minute, my hands are ice cold, and I can’t breath. “Cobie.” I turn my head for a split second and hit my head. Shit, shit, oh God. I hear moving. The shelf flips open revealing someone his hood covered his head still. He was looking down.
“Help please…” I am stopped when the man takes off his hood. Ben is smirking. “I hate you. I thought I was going to die.” I start to hit his chest, tear spilling from my eyes. “Oh babe I didn’t mean to scare you. I am so sorry.” Ben is still kind of laughing and I am still crying. I push him away and walk to the bathroom. “Come on please don’t be mad at me, I was just joking.” “Just go home.” “Okay but you're coming with me if I do go.” He stops me from moving and stands in front of me.
I move around him and move to the bathroom. I splash some water on my face. Ben moves and stands behind me. He wraps his arms around my waist and puts his head in my neck. “I’m still mad at you.” “I know.” He turns me around and lifts me up so that I am sitting on the sink. He starts to slowly kiss my neck. “You still mad?” “I am thinking about it right now.”
Flashback ends
“Cobie come on in Ben wants to meet you.” “Aubrey what do you mean meet me?” “He only remembers the first couple times he saw you so he doesn’t know about the marriage, Ariel, and you love for each other. Just go in and act like you have never met him. Okay?” “I guess thanks Aubrey.” “Sure thing."
I walked into the room he is sitting almost waiting for me. "Hi I'm Cobie, your Ben right?" "Hey your the girl who Jessica Hall tripped. You landed in between my legs." "Yes that is me you don't have to go on about it." "Please have a seat." "Fine."
When I was a Junior in high school lets just say I liked to mind my own business. Now don't get me wrong I wasn't the kind of person who had thick glasses and studied every chance I got. I also wasn't he popular bitch every school has. I was the kind of girl who was into sports, I was good at track. So I had friends, sports and school, all I really needed right?
Well I was wrong. I was on my way to history class. I got into class and sat down. I sat in back of the class my teacher sat me there to have the boys in our class to behave. I was sitting there waiting for class to start when I remembered I needed to talk to the teacher about the assignment. I got up from my seat and walked to the front of the seat. I was halfway to the front of the room when Jessica Hall decided it was the right moment to stick out her foot.
Did I forget to tell you that I was very clumsy. Well I am and I tripped over her foot. I went flying in the air and landed in between the legs of the one and only Ben???? What can I say it was love and first sight. At the time Ben was cockily, athletic, mean, and a bad boy. He was a complete dick and was always playing with girls feelings. I hated him at first. Couldn't even stand to look at him But I was determined to change him at the time.
"So what you doing here. Are you here to pity me and my sister?" He puts on a straight face and I get a little scared. "What no I have been staying with Aubrey..." "Whatever now that I am awake you don't need to help us." "Why are you being such a dickhead, I didn't do anything wrong." "Get out." "What?" "I didn't stutter Why are you even doing this to us. No one else would so why?" I sing really loudly and sit down at the end of the bed.
"Because I know how if feels to loose someone you love. And someone was there for me in the most darkest time of mine." "If you don't mind me asking what happened?" I look down at my lap. "My dad died when I was a Senior in high school. He got cancer when I was a freshmen and died three years later. But I'm okay people made me happy including you sister. So while you were in the coma I helped her out."
Lying to him hurt more than talking about my dad. His blue eyes looked into mine with concern. "I'm sorry for snapping on you and also asking." "I'm going to go you get some rest you are leaving in a couple days depending on how much you recover see you later." I smile at him and walk away. "Wait!"
