Recap: 

"Fuck no. I am getting the hell out of he circus that is supposed to me my family. send me back to the crack whore please. as a matter of fact I'll leave" 

As I turned to walk away.

"No one is going anywhere." jasmines father shouted , I didn't even know his name

where the hell is Maury when you need him this was beyond ridiculous soap operas didn't have so much drama. 

"This is how it's going to be everyone is staying Elliot and jasmine are getting married and you "

He pointed to me 

"Will shut up and stay whether you like it or not because I will cause permanent damage of you defy me whether or not we are related  I could careless really."

Now I was definitely finding a way out of here. I looked at Elliot and it looked like he was thinking the exact same thing.

Chapter 17 - freedom



I lay in bed thinking about when my life got so fucked up. I would take living with the crack whore any day over this. all my life I always wondered about my father and now that I've met him i wish i didn't even know of his existence.

Some soap opera type shit let me tell you , I had a better birthday when my mother got doped up and gave me a joint and a needle with god knows what in it.

The only good thing that came out if this was him.

Elliot.

And he was now being taken a way from me. Poor Elena was scared out of her mind I mean she had the while bad bitch don't mess with me i don't care about anything  vibe going for her but when it came down to it she was a big softy and her sobbing on the floor was proving that.

I probably would cry too but I had no tears left in me.

A soft knock at the window interrupted my thoughts, Elena was too messed to look so I did and I had to laugh at what I found.

"Romeo rescuing his Juliet on her birthday" sigh .. my knight in shining armor.

"You do know they both die right?" I smirked at him

"You are the only person I Will ever do this for do not ruin the moment." he glared at me amusement clear in his eyes.

"Thank you Romeo but I can't go with you" amusement gone

"Why?"

"I told you I wouldn't put your life in danger"

"Aria stop being stupid , I'm breaking you two out of here"

At the sound of breaking out Elena's head shot up with her sniffling , I swear I would laugh at her if this mess wasn't so fucked up.

"I'm sorry Elliot I can't let you do that"

"The hell you can't I wanna get the fuck outta here" this time it was Elena who spoke and by time I turned to look at her she had already passed me on my other side and was climbing out the window to freedom now I had to laugh.

"A bit eager aren't we Elena ?"

She hid her face behind Elliot embarrassed I could understand she just wanted to get back to her mother and I couldn't deny her of that.

"Fine , Elliot get her out of the country safely and come straight back here I'll deal with them when they ask about her"

He looked around uncomfortably ..

Then after what seems to be ages he speaks

"Aria you don't understand me .. I want us .." he gestures between me and him

"To run away together and start a new life I still have my money and we can take it from there, Elena can go back but we my love I'm afraid we can't and I'm not staying here to be miserable and break your heart and let you be miserable."

He takes a deep breath before speaking again

"I know we haven't known each other for that long but I get you and I know you get me and somehow you managed to get my walls down and I'm glad I did and I would do anything to keep you safe so what you say shortcake .. be the Bonnie to my Clyde ?"

Gosh I felt like I was in some movie but I couldn't help but grin and take his out stretched hand and made my way into the night to make my great escape.

--------------------------------------------

We had been driving into the night for hours and Elena was snoring in the back. we had to get her on a boat to get her out of England where she would get her passport and return to America , Elliot's uncle was aware of everything that was going on so he would cover to Elena's mom for us but I can't say being on the run didn't frighten me ...

"Penny for your thoughts ?" his voice seemed to calm me

"I'm afraid and wondering if I'm doing the right thing putting you in danger like this..."

He took my hand in his brought it to his lips and kissed it and took his eyes of the road for a split second to look at me and say

"I love you"

It was minutes again before he spoke my hand still in his

"I love you and i would do anything to keep you safe , I've never had someone care about me how you care about me and I see you how you try to be strong for everybody around you when you really want to be the one to have someone to be strong for you .. let me be there for you , let me make your problems mine let me fight your battles with you , you aren't alone anymore."

I honestly didn't know what I could say I felt the wetness run down my cheeks making me aware that I was crying I moved to wipe away the tears before he saw but he did and he said

"I know , you don't have to say anything , I know."

And that's when I knew that I had someone who would go to the ends of the earth and back for me , to ensure that I was safe and to just be there for me and that's when the clock struck midnight and I realized this birthday might have had a horrible start but I loved the ending.
