Dec's POV
I woke up to someone banging on the motel room door, "ugh, Ant" I say shoving him and he sighs and gets up, he looks though the little peep hole, "Dec! It's our mams" Ant says quickly and I shoot out of bed, how did they find us? Ant opens the door and my mam comes storming and while Christine waits quietly by the door looking sad, "Declan, put your clothes on and lets go" she says calmly, "no mam, how did you even find us" I ask tiredly, "I put a tracker in your phone when I gave it to you" she says again way to calm, she turns to Ant, "how could you do this to us? Just take off with my son?!" She says letting the anger show and I can see Ant get angry to now, "take him away from you? All you do is treat him like a baby, he wanted me to take him away!" Ant snaps back and I shrink down after hearing him yell, "Anthony" his mam says calmly and stepping into the room, "no ma! Me and Dec are very happy here together and nobody is going to take him from me, we're married" Ant says making his voice raise a little louder, "what!? Married? Declan you're 16 and you married this boy?" My mam says sounding insulted, "I married him because I'm inlove with him and we knew you'd try to seperate us" I say quietly moving over to Ant to hide behind him, "We'll talk more at lunch" my mam says walking out and going to check into a room, "I'm sorry we disturbed you two" Ant's mam says and starts to leave, "mam wait!" Ant says and then hugs her, "I love you ma" he says and the lets go, "I love you too baby" she says and walks over to check in with my mam.

"Have you two come to your senses?" We hear my mam ask as she walks up to us in the little cafe we were eating in, "we're not coming home ma, Ant's already got a job" I say proudly and my mom looks shocked, "whose idea was this? Running away?" She asks sitting down and Ant speaks up quickly, "we didn't run away, we just left to be happy" he says boldly, "happy? Were you not happy at home with your family Declan?" She asks looking at me, "I was mam, but i'm happier here with My husband" I smile and Ant smiles back at me, "Ant's mam is going to help us find a flat later today" I say smiling, "this is not happening." My ma says and gets up and walks out.

"How about this one?" Christine says as we step into a nice flat with one bedroom and one bathroom, "I like it, what do you think love?" Ant says looking at me, "I like it too, it's affordable too" I say looking towards Ants mam and she smiles and nods, she doesn't want her son so far away but she wants him happy, I appreciate her being so supporting of us. We sign a year lease and now we need furniture and again Ants mum agreed to help us, my mam wanted nothing to do with it.

"Looks nice" Ant proclaims as we looks at our now furnished flat, "agreed Anthony" I say holding his hand and he smiles and kisses me. "I'm going home tomorrow night" Ant's mam says, she also helped pay for some of the furniture as an early birthday present for me, "I'm going to miss you" Ant says sadly, "I'll miss you too honey, but you have to grow up now, you're married and living on your own" she says sounding really sad, married and living on our own at 16, that's a lot to take in now.
