Never change

I breathed out a sigh as my Dad carried me upstairs to my room, I felt stupid that I couldn't even do that by myself. "Dad. I'm sorry" I told him. "I know Gwenny". He places me down on my bed. "Get some sleep Gwen. Big day tomorrow" he tells me pulling the covers up to my neck. He kisses my forehead and walks out of the room, closing the door behind him. "I know" I push the covers off me and walk towards my wardrobe pulling out a duffle bag and placing it onto my bed and placing clothing, spell books and some plumbers equipment and a talisment inside inside. I turn and look at the picture of me and my parents together, I remove the frame and fold the picture into my back pocket.

Thinking I had at least 2 hours to kill, I sat down at my desk and wrote a letter to my family. I heard rocks being thrown at my window and look outside to see Ben. "Gwen" he shout/ whispers. He waves his hand signalling me to come down. I grab my duffle bag and place the note down on my bed then head towards my window jumping out of it and landing on a violet platform. I walk down the steps with my hand glowing Ben comes running up and hugging me, I hug him back. "you ready" he asked me. I nod my head and look passed him noticing his car. "I thought we were flying" I whisper to him. "we are but there's a bit of driving involved" he smiles grabbing my back and placing it into the boot next to his bag.

"common" he pulled me into the car, smiling his head off, and driving away from my house. I smile at him warmly, he smiled back. For once in my life I was actually happy to be leaving my family.

LILIES POV

I had awoken in the morning the sound of a phone ringing. "Hello" I was nearly cut off. "Lilly please tell that Ben's round there" Saundra asked hesistantly. "i'm sorry Saundra but he's not. Whats the matter?" I asked her trying not to sound to tired. "BEN'S MISSING" she shouted into the phone. "I'm sure he's fine Saundra. I'll go asked Gwen if she knows" I held to phone by my side as I walked up the stairs to my daughters room. "Gwenny?" I say lightly, I knock on the door and open it. She was nowhere to be found the window was open and the breeze was blowing the curtains. I look over to her bed to see a white piece of paper. I pick it up and start reading. Dear Mum and Dad, sorry to disappoint you but me and Ben have run away to be together. I'm sorry but I think we belong together and we're not gonna stop being together just because you disagree or think it's immoral. I hope you'll forgive, sincerely your Daughter. I let the phone slide through my hands. "Lilly?" the phone calls to me, I pick it up. "S-saundra. B-ben and Gwen have run away" I stutter into the phone.

It had been 2 hours since we found out. Verdona had not arrived yet. We all sat in the living room of mine and Franks house. Saundra and Carl came over, so did Max. "so they ran away" Max repeated. "that's not like them at all" he stroked his chin. "you think they're ok?" Saundra said worriedly. "I'm sure there fine" her husband comforted her pulling her into a hug. "this is my fault" Frank held his head down. "if I hadn't of threatened them-" "it's alright Frank" I place my hand down on his back and rub it. "our children are out there all alone by themselves and you think its alright" Saundra stands up her mascara running from her eyes a bit. "How did this even happen. why did they run away, we gave them a chance" Saundra says looking over to me and Frank. "I sorta told Gwen that I was gonna call Mum and take her to Anodyne" Frank told them, rubbing the back of his neck. "you what?" Max stood up. "I was messing with her head ok. I would never want my only daughter to be billions of miles away from me. I just was wanted her to say that she wont go out with Ben no more. I was trying to help" he stood up next to Max trying not to feel intimidated. "when were you gonna tell her the truth. Tell me the truth" I put my hand on my heart looking towards my husband. "I just thought it would give us a little more control over her" he pulled me in for a hug. "I didn't think it would turn out this way". He whispered into my ear.

"How could they of done this to us?" Carl shook his head Max came over and placed a hand on his back "we'll find them don't worry. Besides they couldn't of gone far"

BEN'S POV

"PARIS" Gwen squealed. She looked so happy. I laughed, "settle down Gwen, we're not there yet" I smiled towards her. "I know but its Paris" she said happily again. I drove my car across the highway, Dawn was breaking just over the horizon. I sipped one of my smoothies in my right hand, i hope they have smoothies in Paris I thought to myself. "you think our parents know yet?" she asked me. I shrug, "probably" I say to her ending the conversation placing my smoothie down on the cup holders and place my arm around her.

2 hours later we were sitting in the Rustbucket II taking off and heading for Paris. "how you feeling?" I asked looking towards her. She was wincing slightly in her sleep, I probably just woke her up from it. "a bit of pain but other than that I'm fine. She tried getting comfortable in one of the chairs but with every move she made she winced more and more. I placed the Rustbucket into autopilot and walked across the room where my car was and grabbed the first aid kit out of the car. I walk back placing the first aid kit on a desk space, opening it and taking out some pain killers, I grab my water bottle out my bag and head towards her. "here" I pass her the water and pills. She puts them In her mouth and then takes the water and chugs it down. "thanks" she says, wiping her mouth. "you know your able to sleep in the backseat of my car if ya want. Its a lot more comfier than these chairs" I say towards her. "I'll be alright Ben but thanks for the offer" she tells me but I ignored it. Picking her up and making my way towards my car. "hey" she thumps me slightly, "relax Gwenny" I mock her with my signature smirk.

"So not fair" she complains smiling as I place her in the backseat and pull a blanket over her. She begins to relax a lot more. "now you better get some sleep now Gwenny" I mock her Dad, she giggles and signals me to come closer, I obey. She grabs my jacket and pulling me in for a kiss on the lips, I grab her and pull her closer to me. we let go catching our breaths my arms still wrapped around her. "im so never letting you go" I tell her, I bring her in carefully for a hug. "then whose gonna fly the plane" she mocks me, poking me in the side and laughing. "well I could always put you on my lap while I drive" I reply, she chuckles her eyes beginning to close. I kiss her on the forehead and place her back down to rest. "Ben" she asks. "never change" she says to me.
