Danny was asking him to help him get with Riley. He wanted to be there for his brother. He loved him. But he still loved Riley. As much as he tried to hide it. Bury it deep inside. What was the point in this love. Everyone knew apparently, that all along it wasn't Riley and Ben. It was Riley and Danny.

"No" Ben whispered. "I can't I'm sorry." He picked up Emma and grabbed everything he needed to take her out and left the apartment pushing her in her buggy. Ignoring Danny's incessant calls that he had to help him he owed it to him. He just walked away with his daughter. He took her to the park and spent all day looking after the most important person in his life. Emma. He realised he would have to go back at some point as it would be getting dark soon.

Bonnie, Danny and Tucker were all talking animatedly when he arrived.

"Dude! Where have you been I needed your help!" Danny shouted.

"I needed to clear my head." Ben shrugged heading straight into his room and locking the door behind him and his now drowsy daughter. Putting his daughter down he left to see what mess was in the kitchen.

"BEN!" Bonnie shouted.

"Mum quiet. Emma is sleeping" Ben snapped. To be fair she had the decency to look guilty. For all his mums' faults and favouritism, he could not deny she loved that little girl. It hurt to see his daughter get the love and attention he had always craved as a child, but it also warmed his heart to now Emma had a grandmother who cared for her so much and would do anything for her. She might even put her before Danny.

"Sorry." Bonnie now spoke softer. "Where have you been, your brother needed you. We need to get him with Riley. If she knows you're ok with everything and support it she won't feel as guilty."

"I'm not" Ben whispered just loud enough for them to hear. "I'm sorry Danny. I want you to be happy I do. I just can't help you. I still love her. I know we can never be together now. I accept that. But you being with Riley it hurts to think about I'm sorry. I can't hold it in anymore. Maybe one day I will be ok with it. I won't stand in your way but I can't help you get with her."

They all looked shocked and they were now looking behind him. He turned around to see Riley in the doorway.

"You still love me?" Riley looked upset.

"Yes, but I know we can't be together. You love Danny. I'm not ok with it. I'm sorry but I'm not. All I ask is if you get together to please don't shove it in my face. I will try to get over it but let me do it in my own time not yours." At this he went to grab a drink from the fridge and went into his room. It hit him they were going to be together. Hanging round the flat being lovey dovey. He made a decision right then he needed to move.

He pulled out his phone and quickly started searching for cheap apartments. To be fair he could afford a decent two bed flat with owning the bar. Emma deserved her own room now she was getting bigger. He actually needed to look into a day care or play group. He knew his mum or tucker would always look after his angel but she needed to be around people her own age.

He ended up finding a real estate agent. Not his mother, he loved her but he needed someone impartial. He just needed a two bed close to work and for decent money. Yet for some reason the estate agent was showing him a 3 bed.

"Erm I don't think I can afford a three bed flat." Ben was sceptical.

"Oh don't worry the previous owners wanted it to go to a nice family something about keeping it a safe environment for the other residents kids, they said to sell it lower for anyone with kids. It's actually going to be cheaper than most two beds." The man laughed.

"Alright then." Ben smiled. It was in a nice area there was a park around the corner, yet not to far from work. He had also seen a school nearby. It was still a large apartment building but luckily there was two working lifts and the reception area was clean and inviting. Once he got the apartment he was taken a back. It was massive. It was open plan with quite a large kitchen dining room area and a carpeted living room. The carpet was a chocolate brown and there were cream walls. The master bedroom was ensuite and very spacious. There was a decent sized bathroom between two smaller rooms of equal size. One would make an awesome room for Emma. The entire flat had a cream and brown colour scheme so he would want to repaint and possibly get new carpets right away. Emma's would be the top priority. Make it bright and colourful.

After a quick look around he just turned to the estate agent. Mike?

"Where do I sign?" The guy just laughed.

"I will send the papers over. You can move in as soon as everything is signed. Have you secured a mortgage?" He asked

"Erm there's no need. My grandma gave me some money before she died. To look after Emma and my dad gave me some when I turned 21 apparently he felt guilty about how my mum favoured my brother and how he was always distracted. Turned out good in the end as I can afford this outright." Ben explained.

"Great. We can sign today and I can get you the keys by the end of the week." He smiled.

Ben just looked around actually looking forward to starting a proper home with Emma. The home she deserved.
