I don't own Ben10

It was quite in the room.
'If Ben wanted to be alone i will leave him'
Gwen left the room to go downstairs but decided to stay incase Ben needed her. She sat on the ground near the door. She could not blame Ben for being mad and angry all the time.
last month...
Gwen was in her room doing her homework. She wanted to get good grades and make her parents proud. Downstairs she heard someone knocking on front door.

"Gwen Grandpa Max is here and wants to talk to us" her mom called from downstairs

"Mildred is good to see you" Grandpa hugged her mom.

"Davis its been a longtime " Grandpa said as they shook hands

"Welcome, Welcome why don't you sit down"

Gwen was descending the stairs and was on her last step
Mildred turned to his daughter "Gwen would you mind getting some juice for Granpa?"

"no not at all" was Gwen's replie

Gwen went to the kitchen and got the orange juice fromt he fridge. She could hear the grown up's talking since the kitchen was not so far from the living room.

"Alice, She is not getting any better"

"Josh has been a good husband, I don't know how long she would have stuck around without him"

Alice was Ben's mom and Josh was his dad.
"Here would you guys like some juice"

She had gotten a drink for everyone. Once she finished passing the drink around and she went and sat in a chair at the corner of the room. Gwen watched as everyone drank the juice appreciatly. Granpa was looking at her Dad and he seemed worried.

"I don't think its a good to have Ben living there"

"Yes I agree with you, which was why I thought it would be a good idea if Ben came to live with me"

" That would not be a problem, Did you talk with Alice and Josh"

"They don't have any concerns, Ben would still be able to go to the same school and they understandit is not good forthe boyto have to see his Mother's health detroteriorating like that.

"cancer it would do that to you" Davis replied sipping his juice.

"the thing is... I was wondering if Gwen could come live with me for awhile."

"no that won't be a problem, Let the cousins have time to spend together" Midred said cheerfully, "It would be good for Ben to have someone to talk with, not that Davis is a bad parent or anything but he does not have enough time going to work and taking care of Alice to pay attention to Ben"

"I don't have a problem either" Her dad told granpa

"Gwen what do you think of living with Grandpa for awhile"

"Mom, won't I have to change schools, plus I kinda had everything planned, wouldn't it be better if I just visit Ben over the weekend"

"Gwen I need you to do this for Ben, He needs you" Grandpa looked at her pleading."My house is big and you will have your own room, I will paint it any color you want"

"no thanks" She did not want to look like she needed to be compesation for every little thing she did.

"Grandpa I don't mind living with you" that was the truth, but she did not know about Ben

"Hey Gwen wake up" Gwen work up and rubbed her eyes lazyinly.
"Grandpa"

Grandpa Max came to the house only to find the place quite. For a second he thought something bad had happend. When he climbed the stair he found his niece fast asleep.

"Why are you sleeping here"

Gwen got up, 'she must have lost track of time'

"Grandpa it's Ben when I came home I found him... well he didn't seem okay" 'it not like she smelled the beer on him, he just looked out of it and the first thing that came to mind was that he was drunk.

"what do you mean" Granpa looked worried.

'I should have came home after that conversation I had with Ben' He gently pushed Gwen aside and entered the room. Ben was seated against the wall with his head face down. The place was a mess.

Grandpa went to his nephew and tried to wake him

"Ben get up"

He carried Ben to the bed.

"Gwen tell me the truth what happened" Grandpa looked seriously at her.

"well um" she really didn't want to get Ben in trouble

"Gwen!'

On the far side on the wall she could see the beer bottle. 'Ben was never good at being discreet, probably left the top to the beer bottle at the kitchen after opening the beer (with the can opener right next to it).

"Ben is drunk" she whispered hoping he didn't hear her.

when she glanced up grandpa look angry

'guess he heard her'
