"Let's do it! Let's leave!" She whispered, not thinking of the consequences or about what she was giving up.
"Where are you right now?" He asked
She took a shaky breath. "Walking to the nearest bus stop"
"I'll be there..."
Chloe reached the bus station and sat as she waited for Axel. She chewed on her nails. She was already second-guessing her decision but she had nothing to go back to. She'll never go to college her father made sure of that. The only thing in her life that seemed right was Axel. He left his money, his family, his whole life for her. She can't get anyone better than that. She has a chance at getting true love and she won't be stupid and waste it.
A car stopped before her and Axel stepped out. She smiled meekly and stood up. He walked to her and pulled her in a hug. He pulled away and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Everything will be fine"
"Give me your bag" he took her bag from her.
Chris stepped out of the car. "You guys can stay at my guesthouse until you figure things out but don't just leave. It's idiotic!" He tried to knock some sense into Axel.
Axel shook his head. "I won't. I have spent my whole life getting manipulated by my father into doing things he wanted me to do but not anymore... Not with Chloe. If I stay, I know what he'll do. I know my father. I need to be away from him." He turned towards Chloe and looked into her eyes. "We need to be away from him"
Giving up, Chris dropped them at the airport. Axel spent half of the money he had on plane tickets. He decided to take Chloe to California. He has been there a lot of times with his father and that was the first place that came to his mind.
Chloe felt a lump in her throat but she ignored it. Her legs seemed like jelly as her knees were knocking together. Her stomach seemed to rose to her throat. Suddenly, she felt so uncertain and scared. She didn't know what was going to happen. Chloe always liked to plan out her every move. Her life was organized and she liked it that way. But she didn't know what to think about what will happen next. It was all so sudden and unpredictable.
Axel came and sat beside her. Without saying anything, he held her hand and squeezed it. Chloe felt a little better with him by her side, she felt safe. He was the only one in this world that made her feel like she didn't always have to be in charge of everything. She didn't have to be the responsible one always.
"You are sure about this?" She asked in a tiny voice.
"More than anything in my life, Chloe" he answered
The announcement caught their attention and they both stood up to board the plane.

After nine hours, they finally landed in California. Chloe held her breath the entire time. Getting off the plane, passing the security, getting their luggage, they finally made it out.
