*Ben's POV*


I felt as if my world was ending and my heart was breaking; why would Mal arrive at the cathedral just to drive straight off? Did she not want to get married anymore? Did she not feel the same way about me? I know getting married is quite a commitment; but I thought we had got to that point. I felt my heart start to sink at the reality that Mal had just jilted me; I couldn't believe that she would leave me standing at the alter waiting for her. If she had really changed her mind then surely she should have stopped me getting this far and looking like an idiot in front of everyone.

No! I knew that Mal wanted to take this step with me; last night before she went with Evie she had told me that she couldn't wait to spend the rest of her life with me. She told me that she was excited to be Mrs Adams! No! I don't want to believe it! Mal is my soul mate; we are meant to be together; especially after everything that we had been through.

My parents took me into a side room and for the last ten minutes I had been trying to ring and text both Mal and Evie but their phone's keep going to voicemail. This whole situation was driving me insane! I needed answers and I needed them now!

"Are Jay and Carlos still out there?" I asked my parents as I turned around and looked at them.

"Yes" my father confirmed as I angrily flung my phone into my trouser pocket. If I couldn't speak to Mal or Evie I was going to get answers from them - they knew what Mal was thinking so maybe they would know what was going on. However as an afterthought I started to get more worried; if something had happened then they would have left to be with them - why hadn't they left before now?

"Get them in here!" I snapped.

"NOW!" I roared and I watched as my parents threw a startled look at each other before my father quickly left the room. I know that they knew that I didn't mean to shout at them but they knew how much Mal meant to me and how this situation would be affecting me.

"Ben try and calm down" my mother stated as she stepped towards me.

"I can't calm down!" I exclaimed.

"Mal is gone!" I snapped as a lump started to build in my throat.

"Gone!" I stressed as I started to pace quickly.

"And I don't know why. Mother when I saw her last night she told me that she couldn't wait to be my wife" I said sadly as I looked down at her.

"So what has changed?" I asked; I watched as she opened her mouth to say something but she stopped as we both watched as the door opened and my father walked in with Jay and Carlos.

"What's happening?" Carlos asked nervously as my father closed the door behind them.

"Don't you both know!" I snapped as I stood still and grimaced at them.

"Know what?" Jay asked slowly as he pulled one brow up in confusion at the tone that I had just used.

"Don't play dumb with me!" I growled.

"Please, I can't bare it" I advised as I turned my back to them all and I learned onto the office table.

"Can someone explain what is going on here?" I heard Jay ask as I threw my head down.

"Mal and Evie arrived here around ten minutes ago-" my father started.

"Right" Carlos replied.

"So where are they?" he asked confused.

"We don't know" my mother informed them.

"The carriage took off with both of them in it" I heard my mother say.

"What?" Jay and Carlos asked incredulously together.

"Yes" my father confirmed.

"So where are they guys?" I asked darkly as I slowly turned around and looked at them. I noted that they both looked very worried; but this didn't stop me from attempting to get any answers from them.

"It is obvious that Mal has changed her mind" I advised sadly as my voice broke at this admission.

"And before you start to tell me that you don't know anything" I warned them.

"I know you do!" I snapped.

"You two know everything!" I shouted and I watched as they both took a step back.

"Where is she?" I shouted.

"Ben dude" Jay said as he put both hands up in front of him to defend himself.

"We really don't know" he added.

"We are stumped as you are" Carlos quickly added nervously.

"LIES!" I roared and I quickly turned around and swept my hands over the table behind me and knocked everything off the table.

"Ben calm down" my mother stated and I quickly turned around and noticed that they were all scared by my actions.

"You two know everything that Mal and Evie are planning!" I accused as I took a step towards them.

"So what did they say to you?" I snapped.

"Ben" Carlos started as he put both hands up to defend himself also.

"We have been with you all morning; if we knew something we would have told you by now" he advised.

"Or failing that-" Jay started.

"We would be with Evie and Mal, we wouldn't let them just go off like that" he stated.

"Yes" I sighed in defeat. Of course they were right; if they suspected something was wrong they would have warned me. I just couldn't get over that Mal had just disappeared and she wouldn't speak to me.

"I just want to know what is wrong" I advised everyone slowly.

"Neither of them are answering their phones" I added.

"And I am petrified!" I confessed.

"Because I know there is something really wrong" I added as my voice broke.

"I just want to speak to Mal" I finished looked at the floor.

"We will find her Ben" my mother promised.

"If Mal has changed her mind-" my father started and I looked up and threw a startled looked at him. What was I going to do if Mal had changed her mind? Yes we still loved each other; but I'm sure that we could sort this out.

"It could have happened son; it might have got too much for her" he explained.

"Don't!" I begged as my eyes started to water.

"I don't want to believe it" I added as I pushed the lump down my throat.

"Well you need to prepare yourself for it Ben" my mother advised sadly.

"It might be a reality" she added.

"You know that me and you mother emphasise with this situation; and we are not doubting that Mal loves you because you can see that she does" my father explained and I took a deep breath to steady myself.

"But it might have been too much for her today" he finished.

"Yeah" I muttered.

"Maybe" I stated as another thought came to me. Yes it might have got too much for her; but I knew that if this was the case Mal wouldn't have let me get this far. She would have asked to see me; Mal wouldn't have jilted me at the alter without an explanation like this. So this was starting to make me think that there was something else going on.

"But if it was too much for her-" I started as I looked at them all.

"Why did she just drive off? Why won't she answer her phone?" I wondered out loud.

"If she doesn't want to marry me; then why doesn't she extend the curtsy of telling me?" I asked them.

"Unless there is something else" I finished.

"Like what?" Jay asked as he pulled one brow up in confusion.

"I don't know" I advised.

"But what I do know-" I started.

"Is that Mal loves me; if she changed her mind she wouldn't just get up and leave like this. She would at least talk to me" I advised.

"Of course she would dude" Jay agreed.

"We'll go and find her" Carlos promised.

"Thank you guys" I said with a weak smile.

"Ben we will give you some time alone" my father advised.

"Thank you and I'm sorry for shouting" I muttered and I watched as they all smiled meekly at me before they left the room. My mind started to cruelly stew on this situation; I really hoped that I hadn't lost Mal. I hoped that I had the opportunity to speak to her; however this was on the assumption that nothing had happened to her.

I sighed and I heard my phone go off and my eyes quickly widened. Mal had text me! I quickly pulled my phone out of my pocket and my eyes widened again when I saw who it was. Sadly it wasn't Mal but I now knew what had happened and where she was.

"Father!" I shouted.

"FATHER!" I roared.

"Yes!" he shouted as he ran back into the room quickly with my mother following me.

"Get the guards now!" I advised as I walked towards them.

"Why?" he asked as I stormed passed them.

"Just do it!" I snapped as I left the room to go and rescue my perfect, purple haired princess.
