It has been a minute since I last post chapter 5 sorry for the delay but life has a funny way of catching up with people. This is the last of Cin's breakup I will write about. I cant wait to start writing about their new found relationship. I am so happy they are finally together together and very much in love. 3. I hope you guys enjoy. I tired to have the story not sound disjointed as best I could because I did stop writing for a bit.

Chapter 6: Ciara's Side

Ciara had to have been losing her mind there was no way the room was actually spinning sh thought. Ben had left a few hours ago but that did not stop the tears from streaming down her face.

Claire and Tripp had become so concerned about Ciara that they felt they needed to call her mother and let her know some of what was going on since they felt the whole story would be better coming from Ciara.

There was a knock on the door when Ciara realized she was still in the living room. Smoothing out her clothes and drying up the tears as best she could before she moved to answer the door. Part of her deep down hoped it was Ben coming back, so they could work through this but when she opened the door, she was disappointed again. It was her mother, Hope. With a heavy sigh Ciara opened the door wide enough to let her mother through.

"Where is Ben?" Hope asked.

"He is not here, you looking to point your gun at him again?"

"What are you doing here mom?"

"Tripp and Claire called me honey."

"They had no right to call you."

"Honey just talk to me, what is going on?"

"I am worried about you."

"Ben broke up with me mom."

Hope tries to reach out to comfort Ciara, yet this only seems to anger her more as she thought about all the horrible things all the people in this town, including her mother, had done to Ben. Ciara moved out of Hope's reach and walked across the living room to sit on the couch.

"Baby I am sorry."

"Don't pretend like this isn't exactly what you wanted this whole time."

"Ciara Alice."

"I am your mother, I have only ever wanted to protect you."

"Well you got exactly what you wanted Ben thinks he is too dangerous to be around me"

"How self-sacrificing of him"

"Look if your are here to make sarcastic remarks you can get out, I don't need this right now."

"Ciara, no I really am sorry that you are hurting baby."

And like a switch of a light, Ciara couldn't hold it in any longer and fresh tears streamed down her face. Hope once again attempted to comfort Ciara and held her close in her arms as she rubbed soothing circles with her hand through Ciara's hair and scalp.

"He made me feel alive again."

"I can't lose him mom."

"I am not going to sit here and pretend I am not relieved that he is out of the picture but I can understand him wanting to protect you baby." Hope said.

"You are one of the most precious things in the world to me and I would never want to see you hurt."

"Mom, I am not giving up on him."

"Ciara you can't…"

"No mom," Ciara said as she interrupted Hope.

"I don't think you understand"

"I came back home early from South Africa because I missed Ben, because I wanted to be with him and make this relationship work."

Hope stared at Ciara speechless as she continued.

"For god sake mom he is the only reason I am even alive and am able to walk on my own two feet."

"He is also the reason you almost died in the cabin, Ciara honey, I know he set that cabin on fire."

"I don't, Ben would never intentionally hurt me, he could have left me for dead on the side of the road. Instead he carried me and brought me to safety. He set my leg and took care of me when I couldn't even take care of myself. Does that sound like someone who would just do all that to set the cabin on fire?"

"Ciara, I know you want to believe in Ben but he was sent to sanitarium for a reason. He kidnapped your cousin, tired to set her and Chad on fire and then took her baby. He is not mentally stable."

"Enough that is not who he is anymore. He had a mental break, he did his time and put in the work and is taking his medications. Ben would never hurt anyone again."

"If that is true then why is he back working for Stephen?" Hope asked.

This admittedly threw Ciara off but she was done given into the wants of others she was going to talk this out with Ben.

"I don't know mom, but what I do know he most of done that because he felt that was the only way he was going to be able to get me to stay away from him. But he is wrong."

And with that being said Ciara took off to the Mansion to find Ben and see where they actually stood.
