Little Miss Zerrie

Chapter 38

••Sophie••

" when do you guys go back on tour ?" I asked as me, Ben, mum and dad sat at the table, eating breakfast.

" in about two months." Dad said and mum dropped her fork. We all looked at her and she mumbled a ' sorry '.

" will you be here when the baby comes ?" I asked and he nodded, smiling. I heard mum sigh in relief and I smiled. " good !"

" I wouldn't miss it for the world." He said and kissed mums hand he was holding. She smiled and kissed his lips.

" EWWWH !" Me and Ben yelled and threw our hands over each other's eyes. They laughed and remove our hands from each other's faces.

" why don't we go out for dinner tonight ? Just us guys. No one else. We haven't done that in a while and now that we have Ben with us, it makes it better. " dad says and we all nod.

I can't help but think about what will happen if Nana gets out of the hospital. Will I ever see Ben again ? Will we still be friends or will he forget about me ?

" - dress nice " was all I heard mum say and I snapped out of my thoughts.

" what ? I didn't hear." I say and they laugh at me.

" I'll tell you later." Ben says and nodded. He grabbed my hand and ran to his room, dragging me with him.

" why are we in here ?" I asked and he just smiled at me.

" I saw how you spaced out Sophie. What was that about ? You didn't listen to the three of us talking. " Ben said, sitting on his bed. I sat down on his spiny chair and looked at him.

" I was thinking about what will happen when Nana gets out." I said, looking at my hands.

" what do you mean ?" He asked and I looked up. I sighed and looked back down on my hands.

" like what's gonna happen ? Are we still going to be friends ? Are we going to hang out or are you gonna forget all about me ?" I said quickly.

" Sophie. Calm down. I'm not going to forget about you. I would never do that. We are still going to be friends no matter what happens ! We are gonna hang out all the time because I can't not be away from you.." He says and then gets up and hugs me tightly. I had tears in my eyes and I hugged him back.

" I don't want you to leave.." I say into the hug. He just hugs me tighter and I sniffle. Right after I did, he did too.

" I don't wanna leave either.." He says so quietly I barley heard him. I decided to make him think I didn't hear him so he doesn't have to say anything about it.

" guys we are- what's wrong ?" Dad asked walking into Bens room. We pulled out of the hug and looked at him. We both wiped our tears off our cheeks while he walked over to us.

" it's nothing dad.." I say and he shakes his head and rolls his eyes.

" it's clearly nothing when you two were just a minute ago, hugging each other while crying. Tell me what's up or I'll go get mum." He says, cocking an eyebrow. My eyes widened and I looked at Ben. His eyes were exactly like mine and we both shook our heads no. " now tell me."

" the reason why I wasn't paying attention during breakfast was because I couldn't help but think about what would happen if Nana got out. Like if he would forget about me. We talked about that then I started crying. When he hugged me after I did, he ended up crying too.." I explain and he nods.

" it's okay to think about that, baby girl. You feel like your gonna loose your best friend and it's okay if you have thoughts of him leaving you. No matter what, Ben will always be part of our family." Dad said and looked at Ben at the end. He smiled and dad pulled the two of us into a hug.
