I catch Claire's duffle bag and put it in my trunk, waiting for her to meet me at my car. The stars are bright and her house lights are on, the only thing that could give away our escape. It was a shot in the dark asking her to run away with me, but I knew from the moment I started developing feelings for her she was mine. She's never going to leave me again; not if I can help it.

Her blonde hair blows back as she rushes quietly to me, her long legs in a jog as she greets me. Claire's arms fling around my shoulders and I grasp her close, kissing her before we get into the car.

"Just you and me," I say, her hand grabbing mine.

"You and me," she grins, my heart racing. I start the car and drive, going wherever it is we can be to ourselves. I have Claire and that's all that matters.

I bring her hand to my lips and I kiss her warm skin, her head turned to look out the window. But she turns to look at me and I smile, her beautiful smile appearing. I'm so whipped for her it's unbelievable.

I stop at a park and ride and she gets out to stretch, the sunrise appearing. I grab a blanket and we go sit on the bench, her body curling into mine as we watch. She starts to fall asleep and I lean my head on hers, wanting this to be the rest of my life.

"Harry," Claire whispers, lifting her head. She cups my chin and I rest my forehead on hers, her exhaustion clear.

"I-I know I treated you like shit when I first got here," she starts, my eyes intent on her. She sighs and I keep her close, wanting her to know she can continue. "You changed me for the better and I owe everything to you because of it."

"You don't...just you being here with me is all I want," I tell her, but she kisses me, cutting me off.

"I love you," she blurts, my eyes widening but my heart stops. "I know coming from a girl who has never felt love before that this is what I'm feeling. I'm sorry it took so long but I want you to know."

"Took so lo-" I think out loud. "Claire Bear, all I wanted was you."

She looks so beautiful right now and I'm losing my mind and probably look like a complete dumbass.

"Claire, I love you," I say, her eyes so blue I'm honestly weak.

I bring her onto my lap and she kisses me, my heart pounding as I hold her. My first love...the one I never want to lose. Sure I had my previous girlfriends, but none of them were love. I'm in love with Claire and I never want that to end.

Claire's POV

I smile, tracing Harry's face with the tip of my finger as he sleeps. The sun shines brightly in our room, the rented villa on the coast of Georgia serving as our home the past few weeks. He's treated me with everything I could have asked for and our time spent together lasts. I've never gone a day since we got here where we don't have sex. It's rare to find either of us with more than our underwear on. He's mine and I will do anything to stay his.

The doorbell rings and Harry groans, running his hand through his hair. He kisses me before grabbing his shorts, my body getting up and putting a tee and shorts on.

When I hear a lot of noise, I rush downstairs and see police in the house. But my lips part when Harry is handcuffed.

"Stop! What's going on?!" I yell, the officer turning to look at me.

"He's being charged with a case of kidnapping," he states, my head turning to see my father.

"What?! No, I'm an adult. I was the one who told him to run away with me! I wanted to get away from him," I point to my father, his eyebrows frowning.

"Get in the car, Claire," he says, my eyes building with tears.

"No, no!" I yell, running to Harry. I grab his cheeks and he looks at me, telling me to go, but I shake my head.

"I love you. No," I plead, but he shakes his head.

"I'll find you, baby. Just go," he says, my body lifted up.

"Harry!" I yell, his head looking away, surely to hide the tears.

"How dare you disrespect me?! I gave you a roof over your head and you still run away," my father states. I cry and thrash in his arms, desperate to be with Harry. This is such a low action, my hands shoving my father away.

Finally, I manage to get free and I run to Harry.  I grab his cheeks, feeling his tears, and I kiss him for what seems like our last time.

"I love you. Forever," I tell him, his lips pressing to mine before he's shoved away and I scream.

"I'll find you baby," he says, "I love you. This isn't goodbye."

With that he's shoved into the police car, my father pushes me into his car, and I'm driven back to Florida with no more chances of escape.
