No screams could allude the house. It was painful to listen to, painful to hear and painful to be there. A green eyed girl clutched her eyes shut as she brought a cushion towards her stomach and hugged it letting her tears create a stream of patterns in the material.

"HOW COULD YOU?" the redhead yelled towards the brunette.

"HOW COULD I? HOW COULD I?" He just shouted back even louder. "I'VE BEEN STUCK WITH YOU FOR 22YRS AND YOUR ASKING ME WHY I WOULD DO IT?" he screamed which more sounded like lightning hitting the ground from close by then hearing the roar of the clouds and the shaking of the ground. It was enough to scare anyone off. Enough to make them frightened to death.

"Would you two keep your voices down Gwen's sleeping" Ken said coming over to the arguing couple.

"She probably meditating or off in her own little world doing unnatural alien things" Lily wiped her hand. "Oh here we go again with the alien thing. I'm sorry I didn't know and if we did know when she was little you would've probably gotten rid of her then and there" Gwen placed the cushion up to her chin hugging it tighter. "She's my daughter" Lily argued.

"She nothing but a F*cking alien to you that 'like you said to my mother' doesn't belong here" Frank took a step towards her.

"SHUT UP" Lily shouted back more tears streaming down her cheeks. "WHY DON'T YOU RUN BACK TO THAT…. THAT TRAMP OF YOURS" Lily shouted at him. "LEAST SHE KNOWS HOW TO F*CKING COOK" Frank argued.

"Shut it you two" Ken whispered harshly as Frank neared the door. "For the last time Ken" Frank turned around. "Gwen's asle-" Frank was cut off by seeing a leg leaning on one of the steps as the rest of the figure hid in the shadows at the top of the stairs.

"Gwen?" Ken came running up the stairs towards her. He saw the tears streaming down her eyes when he grabbed her arms and lifted her up then pulled her into a tight hug.

Her breathing was harsh rapid breaths. Ken just pulled her in tighter then turned her round she the back of her was facing the stairs and the front of him was facing his parents. He narrowed his eyes and shook his head. Frank just sighed as Lily began again. "Why don't you just run back home to that tramp of yours" Lily was about to slam the door on him but he grabbed the door first, ignoring his kids then screamed "FINE" at her and slammed the door.

Lily leaned against the door hearing a car pulling out and driving away. Lily closed her eyes and placed a hand up to the bridge of her nose. "Ken take your sister to bed" Lily whispered trying not to sound too angry. Ken began to pull her to his room instead. He set her down on the bed and turned on the light then grabbed a tissue out of his draw and passed it to her.

"Thanks" she whispered gently. He sat down next to her then pulled her into a hug. "Do you think mum and dad will get a divorce," Gwen asked. Ken just looked down at her "I don't know" he said trying not to make it obvious that they probably were. "I have to go back to College tomorrow.

Want me to ring Aunt Sandra and Uncle Carl or Grandpa" He asked. She just sniffed and didn't say anything. He just took it as a yes. "I'm gonna go see how mum is are you alright here by yourself for a while?" He asked.

She nodded as he got up and walked away.

Gwen got up and walked out towards her room got changed then walked down the stairs to see her mum crying with a tissue up near her eye and a hand on the table which Ken was holding. "Gwendolyn where do you think your going" Lily stood up from her seat ready to stop her. Gwen opened the door and ran out into the streets. She could hear her brother behind her shouting her name. She began to run for it sprinting down the streets like it was a racetrack. She could hear heavy foot steps behind her and a man continuing to call her name. She turned round to see her brother who was 'bang'

She winced her eyes feeling a lot of pain around her face. "ow" she whispered as she winced her eyes open to see her brother shaking her lightly and watching her with worried eyes. "Gwen. Oh thankgod" He tried to pick her up but she moved away from him. "Gwen common" He took a step towards her. "No" she whispered wincing. "Gwen lets go home" he took another step as she moved back a little but more falling into the gutter from the sidewalk. He rushed up to her causing her eyes to glow and her hand to come up threatening him to come closer. "Gwen" He whispered her name as he back away. "just stay away" Tears streamed down her cheeks. He began to walk backwards then when he was completely out of sight she relaxed for a few minutes before getting up. She didn't know where to go but found out soon enough as she passed a Campsite. She knocked one of the RV's several times. She saw a figure in the light get up and walk to the door.

"Gwen?" The figure said as he stared down upon the girl.

"C-Can I come in" she wiped her nose and noticed the blood on her sleeve. He stepped aside letting her walk him. She kept her hands around her waist hugging herself. He just stared in sorrow. She turned her head to the right and noticed a brunette sitting down at the table sipping a smoothie.

"Ben?" She looked surprised at his presence. He stared at her for a while before answering "Hey cuz" He stood up and threw his slushy in the bin. "What happened to you?" He casually asked as she leaned against the sink.

"I ran into a pole" She answered narrowing her eyes towards the floor.

"Damn" He walked over to her checking out her injury. "Gwen why don't you go clean yourself up a bit" her grandpa pointed to the bathroom. Gwen slowly stood up and walked over to it hearing the whisper of Max telling her cousin to go in there with her just in case she collapses.

She rolled her eyes as best as she could.

Right now there were hurting to.

She approached the mirror to see a redhead staring back at her only the redhead had a bloodied nose, busted lip and extremely noticeable rings round her eyes. She placed her hand up towards her left eye noticing blood in the corner of it. 'just great' she thought. She noticed a green jacket and looked over to it to see Ben leaning against the wall of the bathroom staring towards her as-. "Do you mind" she whispered. He shook his head and smirked knowing it would annoy her. Her eyes half closed as she leaned against the sink placing her hands at each side.

Her knees began to buckle then she slowly pulled herself to the ground and sat down no longer able to support herself. She placed her head down on a carpet placed around the toilet. She knew it was disgusting but right now she couldn't care less she just closed her eyes too exhausted to even keep them open. "Gwen" Ben placed his hand on her hip. It seemed uncomforting.

"you alright" it took her a few seconds to answer but when she did she just said 'yeah'

Ben picked her up and placed her down on the lower bunk bed. Max came over with a first aid box and icepack. He set them down where her head was as Ben ran his fingers through her hair keeping a tight protective hold on her.

"Gwen?" Max called out to her lifting her head a little but seeing no flinching or any movements what so ever. "Can you hear me?" He asked her but she didn't move. "I think she's out for the night grandpa" Ben said as unhatched the first aid kit. Max picked up a gauze cloth and placed some clear liquid onto it then began to rub under Gwen's nose around her lips and her neck and the top of her chest where the blood had dribbled. "Poor thing" Max said as he cleaned her injuries.

The ring came loudly from the phone.

Max passed the icepack to Ben who placed it on Gwen's nose and partly on her lip he continued to comb his fingers through her hair despite this. "Hello?" Max said into the phone as a person started speaking rather fast through the other end. "no she's right here Lily" He calmed her down. Ben heard a 'thankgod' at his statement. "yeah she's fine. A little banged up but fine" He said. "No Ben's doing a great job taking care of her" he smiled towards his grandson who smiled back. "why whats happening" Max asked. He stayed quiet for a few minutes before saying

"I'm so sorry"

"Sure she can stay here for a few days if she wants I don't mind" Max smiled. "Ok goodbye Lily" Max placed the phone down then came over to them. "Gwen's parents are having a little disagreement" Max said sitting down next to Ben.

"Are they getting a divorce?" Ben asked not really concerned actually a little happy but he hid it all to well.

"I don't know. Probably, but don't tell your cousin Ok" Max placed a hand down on her cheek checking to make sure she was still out cold.

"I'm gonna go round and see how Lily is" Max walked over towards his coat.

"Take care of your cousin while I'm gone Ok" Max said before walking out causing Ben to nod. He smiled as he saw his grandpa walk out. Ben placed a hand on her cheek.

"You really are knocked out cold" Ben smirked.
