Prologue

"Ben how is it even possible I'm ready to leave for this father and sons camping week? And you're not," Eddie questioned barging into the room his newly acquainted half brother was residing in.

"And I guess that would be why," Eddie smirked gesturing to Ben's open laptop. "Still talking to internet girl?"

"She has a name Millie."

"What was it again? Pamela, Paige, Pau-"

"Piper."

"Oh yeah that's right. I forgot it just happened to be the name of Patricia's twin. Anyways it's time to say goodbye."

"Give me a minute," Ben scoffed.

"Maybe you should get a real life girl. The goodbyes are more fun," Eddie teased. Ben glance over just long enough to see Eddie's eyebrow wiggle.

Ben didn't bother to respond. He shot his half brother his now perfected you're an idiot look, before turning back to his laptop. He hit three final keys and pressed enter, before finally shutting his laptop.

He wished they weren't going to a cabin that was out of cell range. He had met Piper aka PianoPiper back in October. They had met in a chat room through the Oxford website. They had hit it off instantly, talking everyday for hours on end. They had already agreed to wait to meet until Orientation in August. The pair had even recently exchanged cell numbers, though they still seemed to stick to instant messagers more than texting. But for the next week there would be absolutely no talking to her till next Sunday.

"Hurry up Ben," Eddie yelled from downstairs. Ben grabbed his duffel bag from the end of his bed and trudged downstairs to where his half brother and dad were waiting.

**O**

Piper Williamson let out a disgruntled sigh as she flopped backwards onto her bed. She had gotten so into the habit of talking to Ben everyday, that it seemed like the next week would drag on. He just had to go camping with his dad and half brother. A bonding experience his dad had claimed. Maybe if their dad hadn't kept them apart until a year ago, they wouldn't need to squeeze 18 years of bonding into two months.

"What's the problem? Finally realize internet boy could be an eighty year old creeper who only wants to murder you," Patricia laughed entering her sister's room.

"He's not a stalker," Piper scoffed. "Besides his name is Ben and he's going away for a week with his dad and brother. And I won't be able to talk to him."

"Join the fun Piper. Why do you think I had Eddie come over for the weekend," Patricia smirked.

"I thought it was just a booty call," Piper spat. She figured that would rile Patricia up enough to leave her alone for a little bit. It wasn't fair that Eddie was barely an hour away, well she had to wait till August to even meet the guy she had found herself slowly falling for.

"You keep your mouth shut about Eddie spending the weekend, and I'll keep mine shut about Ben," Patricia snarled. Her parents had no idea she had invited her boyfriend to spend the weekend, and they also had no idea that Piper had been spending most of her free time talking to a stranger on the internet. Both girls had planned to keep things that way.

"Deal."

"So when do you get to meet this boy," Patricia asked trying to steer the subject away from her weekend with Eddie.

"August. At orientation."
