I am super sorry to everyone about not updating for a while. I have been starting to get big writers block also right now life is just stressful for me and probably everyone else in the planet.

Here we go

(Erica p.o.v.)

"What you can't just avoid Ben" Zoe said.

"I bet Ben is going to do it" I said

"Well I will be back. I am going to go and ask him. Come follow me and you two can listen through the door." Vivian said.

Me and Zoe followed.

Vivian went in.

"Vivian, Ben is in the bathroom right now" mom said

"Ok what did Ben say" Vivian asked 

"Um... he wants to avoid Erica to the best of his abilities" Olivia answered.

I know I want to do the same as him but how can I.

How can I avoid a guy like him.

His cute goofy smile, his face when he is shocked, his surprised face, the face that I used to see all the time, those greenish brown eyes, his ruffled sandy brown hair, his new muscles, his ability to be a better spy then me which is actually true and most of all his comforting, kind, sweet company. How can I not love all of that.

I then figured out he is the one meant for me.

He is my love. (Ugh That is a bit cheesy)

How can I not love him. Everything about him is perfect. What in the world did I do to us and him.

I was thinking to find something new but now all I know is I don't want new anything. I want him. I want to spend my life with him.

But now I can't.

I ran from the door as Zoe started chasing me.

I ran to Zoe room and shut the door.

"What in the world do I do and what have I done" I whispered to myself.

"You do deserve him Erica. You did nothing" Zoe said through the door.

"I so did do something" I said

"We can figure this out later. But right now just worry about yourself" Zoe said.

I said ok.

I fell onto the floor.

My head also hurt. I hope grandpa, Sue and Rikkie will get here with the cure to my head problems because me and Ben will be far apart.

I started drifting to sleep while crying.

I cried myself to sleep. All I could think of what I do and what did I do.

How can I fix this.

I then woke up screaming.

My head hurt so bad. The words it was filled with was he needs me. He needs me. He needs me.

Why would Ben need me.

I let Zoe in.

"Erica. Cyrus, Sue and Rikkie are here with the cure. Ben ran from the hotel. We don't know where he is. Me and a few of the others are about to call him" Zoe said. 

My face lit up. Oh no is Ben alright.

I tried to run towards the group. My head was bringing me down.

There is a big message I haven't gotten.

(Ben p.o.v.)

I heard Zoe, mom and Erica starting to come to our my room so I told Catherine, Aunt Olivia and Mike I was going to the bathroom but I wanted to ease drop on their conversation without me being there.

I heard Catherine tell my mom that I was in the bathroom.

My mom then asked Catherine and Aunt Olivia What I said.

"Um... he wants to avoid Erica to the best of his abilities" Aunt Olivia said.

I heard loud enough foot steps. I have gotten a whole lot better at spying and hearing.

I knew those to pairs of feet.

Erica ran and Zoe followed. Those were the pair of feet running.

What have I done I keep asking myself.

"Erica wants to avoid Ben but I can see she wants him" mom said.

I walked out and said" well I don't want her. I thought she was my life but I guess I put to much effort into us and I guess my hopes were to high. Also don't say we can fix this after the mission on her birthday but no we aren't. It isn't your decision it is ours and  mine. I don't want to see her. If she wants to see me tell her I said good luck!!" I sort of screamed.

"Ben" mom and Catherine and Aunt Olivia said.

"Ben we know you want her" Mike said

"No I don't and that is final. Good luck to her if she wants me. I don't want her. She has ruined me" I said.

I quickly turned around.

I then ran out of the room and hotel. I hot wired a car and drove to Spyder HQ to talk to the person I had made a deal with actually people.

Oh jeez they are going to kill me and her and my parents and family and friends. I said to much.

I have gotten myself into a pickle again.

"Hi agent Ripley" the agent said to me

"Hi" I responded 

Apparently my double agent hasn't been announced yet.

I talked to the people I needed to.

"Benjamin you need to be more careful or the threat will go through. We are watching you." They said

"Ok" I said.

I went back to the hotel.

I then got a phone call. It was a connected call through me, Zoe, Mike, Jawa and Aunt Olivia.

" Ben where are you" Aunt Olivia asked sternly.

"I am in the hotel" I said

"Ben we were all worried and so was Erica" Zoe said as did Mike.

"Guys I will tell you don't pull Erica into this. I don't want her. We are not getting back together. I know I have looked up to her but now I don't" I said

"Dude everyone looks up to Erica" I heard Chip say from the background of Jawas phone.

"Your being no help" Jawa said.

"Ben you and Erica learn a lot from each other. I have learned that through the assignments I have given you guys" I heard Mr. R as in Jim say. Guess them three are doing mission work.

"I am guessing that isn't the reason you guys called me is it" I asked trying to avoid the topic that was trying to form.

I heard someone hand the phone to another person.

"No. Um... we were just wondering if you were ok. Are you" I heard Erica ask in a very sweet tone.

I hung up.

I can't talk to her.

I then texted Mike I was headed for the pool and was going to stay there for a while.

I went there and found a stunning girl.

I mean like very stunning.

Like Erica is more stunning then her but me and Erica are a no. I walked up to her and said" Hi my name is Ben. Nice to meet you. Who are you" I said sticking my hand out for her to shake.

Smooth Ben, just smooth.

"Hi my name is Grace...

(Erica p.o.v.)

I finally got to the group still stumbling.

I saw Grandpa, Due and Rikkie with confused looks.

"Erica, Ben is going to the pool. I think you should go and watch but make sure he doesn't see you or else he will feel like there is no one to trust. Go we will tell the others what happened and what you and Ben said after you split. Go we will also give you the cure at dinner" mom said. I agreed.

I had forgotten we have not gotten lunch because of the events that happened today.

I was about to leave when grandpa said" wait you guys split" 

I turned around.

"Yes" I said sadly

"I need to get that kid. I told him not to break your heart! And apparently he didn't listen to that. OUNCE I GET MY HANDS ON HIM HE WILL BE DEAD FOR HURTING YOU!!!" Grandpa screamed anger rising.

"NO GRANDPA DONT HURT BEN. I WAS THE ONE WHO HURT HIM" I screamed back at him.

I am surprised no one has complained about us yelling for a while.

"Wait what" he asked confused.

"I didn't let a small thing just go so I broke up with him" I  said broken at what I did.

"And Erica wants to get back with him" Zoe and Vivian  said.

"And he doesn't want to get back with MY GRANDDAUGHTER. I AM KILLING HIM" Grandpa said.

"NO YOU WONT. IF YOU WANT TO KILL HIM YOU HAVE TO KILL ME FIRST. I WAS THE ONE WHO DID SOMETHING WRONG NOT HIM" I screamed back at him

Grandpa could tell I was hurt and telling the truth.

"Ok Erica go watch Ben and the rest can tell us what happened" Grandpa.

Rikkie and Sue just still stood there surprised about everything.

I just left to the pool.

When I got their I saw Ben walking in. There was also a girl there.

I don't mean girls.

It was just them two and me but Ben didn't know.

I saw his face when he saw the girl. No that is the face he had when ever he saw me.

I am supposed to be the one their.

Life is starting to become a new one.

New things. I just have to get used to it.

I ran I didn't want to see how this went. I have been doing to much running today. Running from my feelings.

I shut myself in the bathroom. Heart broken.

I just sobbed and sobbed and for heavens sake I am Erica Hale since when have I ever sobbed.

I kept crying.

I have a broken heart.

(Ben p.o.v.)

"Hallal" She said.

Wait ... Hallal.

Joshua Hallal.

They are siblings. Oh I need to get close to her. I just need to remember not to let my guard down.

Oh she is so hot. I thought.

I just gave up and went into me mode.

"It is nice to meet you Grace" I said shaking her hand.

"What is a cute guy like you doing here lonely" she asked.

"I don't know" I said.

"You wanna go for a swim with me" I asked winking at her.

"Sure thing. I bet you can't beat me" she said.

We both raced to the deep end. She won.

"Haha I won you lost. I am better" she said.

I put on a sad face. She swam over to me and kissed my cheek.

We both blushed.

"Oh sorry" she said

"Oh no it is fine I would actually like to do it a different way" I said facing her. I kissed her lips. She kissed back.

It was amazing.

We played in the pool with each other for a while. After we were done we both got out.

She is super sweet. As sweet as sugar. She is kind and beautiful.

This new is great. 

A new person. Especially Grace is great.

"Hey wanna go for coffee at 4 o'clock" Grace asked trying to dry her hair.

"Of course I would love to. I will meet you at the lobby of this hotel" I said to her. She agreed.

Yes a new girl that is new and friendly and sweet and kind. Just amazing.

I will never forget her strawberry scent, black shinny hair, purpleish blue eyes, her fit body and just her.

I ran up the stairs to my and Erica's old room. I saw Cyrus, Aunt Sue, Aunt Olivia, Grandpa Rikkie, Catherine, Mike, Zoe, mom all in there.

I turned and ran. They were definitely talking about something.

I started running towards Jawa, Chip and Jim's room. Bad thing is it is past the girls bathroom.

I saw Erica walkout. We locked eyes. I started running.

I can't talk to her or see her.

"Wait... Ben" she called after me.

I just went forward. There is no time for her.

I saw her start to cry and I saw her run back into the girls bathroom.

I knocked on Jawa and Chips door.

Jawa and Jim opened it.

"Ben what are you doing here" Jim asked

"Can I come in" I asked.

I was starting to get cold because I was wet.i had a wet shirt on and bathing suit shorts on.

"Sure thing come on" Jawa said inviting me in.

I walked in. It felt good, heat.

"Can I use your shower. I need to" i said. Jawa said sure and kicked Chip out.

When I walked in I smelled that Chip farted in here. My face scrunched up.

"Your welcome dude" Chip said with a smile.

I then got into the shower.

———time skip———

"Ok I am going to go get coffee" I said to Jawa and Chip.

Jim went to talk with the others.

"Ok have fun dude" they said.

I said bye.

I went the way that didn't make me go past anyone.

The windows.

I jumped out and landed on the road.

I ran into the hotel. I waited for Grace for like 5 minutes and she finally came.

I gave her the flower I had and she smiled and said thanks.

We got a taxi and went to a coffee shop.

That's when someone said" Look that is Benjamin Ripley from the Berica accounts. WHAT is he doing with another girl. Did Erica and him break up. What happened" 

I knew that people would come and start to bombard me with questions so I quickly asked Grace what her phone number was. It was (202)-599-8592.

I said thanks.

People started asking so many questions.

"What happened to you and Erica" Why are you here with another girl" Does Erica know" where is Erica" is Berica still a thing"what went wrong"is this your sister"is she your new girlfriend" why did you and Erica break up"and just more questions.

1 of the questions was what is her name the crowd asked pointing towards Grace. She answered them and said she was Grace.

I texted Grace I had to go and that I was sorry this didn't turn out well. I got through the crowd and ran towards the hotel to get back there.

(Erica p.o.v.)

I saw Ben and I tried to talk to him but he just kept going forward.

I started crying again after I finished crying for hours. 

How do I have this many tears.

Zoe came and said"phew I have been looking for you for a while. Come on you might want the cure so then your head doesn't hurt so much" 

I guess Ben didn't go to far since my head didn't hurt with over filling words that much.

We went to me and Bens old room.

I ate the chocolate. It was actually good.

"I wished Ben were here to watch me eat something new but he isn't" I mumbled to myself. The others didn't hear

"It only works for a day" Rikkie said

"Also tell me if you want me to hurt Ben" Grandpa said

I turned around red faced" Do not think about hurting Ben and do not ask me about it. IF YOU LAY A FINGER ON HIM I WILL KILL YOU" I said.

I know he is my grandpa but I had to be harsh to get the message through to him. Grandpa did get the message that I want messing around.

"Ok so we all just need take a break" Olivia said

Vivian, mom, Zoe, Mike and Sue all agreed. So we turned on the TV on the news channel.

Right now they were just talking about me and Ben and how they want us to get married.

After like 30 minutes a lady who had  black hair, skim face, green eyes and a large nose came on she said something very shocking to us.

"We have just spotted Benjamin Ripley at a coffee shop with another girl who isn't Erica Hale. Where is Erica Hale. What happened to Berica. Are they still together. How long has there breakup been. Where is Erica Hale. Is this girl a sister or a friend or a NEW girlfriend of Benjamin Ripley's" she said. I started to get angry.

At the very least Ben could just not go out with a new girl. What is wrong with him. The lady kept talking.

"And once agian I am News Caster Mrs. Quinn. If you have any questions that you want me to investigate or if we know the answer call is at (202) 888-980. We will bring an update once we have one. But for now goodbye unless someone calls."  apparently  Mrs.Quinn said.

Mike was about to shut the TV off when grandpa stoped him.

"I want to see this" Cyrus said.

Can't lie but so do I.

Mom and Vivian both said" we're so sorry Erica. We had no idea this was going to happen"

Then the news caster got a call.

"Hi this is Mrs. Quinn News Caster for Washington D.C. what news do you want." She asked.

The other person on the line asked" what is the girls name"

Mrs. Quinn answered" I don't know actually" 

Then someone behind her screamed" her name is Grace"

Sue snatched the TV remote not waning me to get hurt so she turned off the TV a after she snatched it from Cyrus.

I was full of rage.

I will get that Grace girl. I thought.

"Erica do you want Mike to switch rooms with you tonight" Zoe asked a bit scared. 

Guess my wanting revenge showed.

"Sure and thanks Zoe" I said not wanting to cry.

Today was the worst day ever.

There we go we are done for today.

Have a good day🤣
