Lewis POV:

It is staring to become a routine - an endless cycle. I feel helpless, out of control. I am powerless. I want to help Shannon but this constant moving is starting to get to me - to us. Although we both agreed when we first decided to run away that we will travel the world, see the wonders, live life. Not to be cooped up.

"So where to go?" I pondered out loud while I sat on the couch on the internet using my mobile.

"Paris!" Shannon screamed as she ran through the door -almost falling over - before jumping onto my lap.

"Why there? I thought you hated the accent"

"I do, but Paris is the 'city of love'" she planted a soft kiss on my check before nudging her head into my neck lovingly like how a cat does when it wants love or food.

"Okay. We will go there" I smiled, typing in the relevant details on the website. "Right, due the some-event-thing that is happening in the channel, we have to fly. Is that okay? Otherwise we would have to stay here for another week or so"

"Sure, that's fine. I've never flown before!" Shannon admitted.

"Really? Me either! It will be part of the adventure!"

"You and your adventure!" She joked laughing and sticking her tongue out.

"Hey, there's nothing wrong with adventures or acting like kids" I laughed in return. "Right... Anyways, the earliest flight is the day after tomorrow?" Shannon nodded in agreement "ordered"

"Yayy" she exclaimed, kissing me on my lips.

"Wanna stay in or go out?" I asked once our lips parted.

"Could we stay in. I don't want to go out. She's out there somewhere"

"Of course. Sorry. I'll order some pizzas"

*******************************************

Shannon POV:

"Remember when we sat at your house that night when I was living with you and we sat watching anime and eating pizzas" Lewis spoke before taking a bite of his meat feast pizza.

"Oh yeah! That was great and we watched Spirited Away twice!"

"Oh yeah! And Dickert smashed your completed Studio Ghibli collection and you cried"

"Hey! You would have if it was yours!"

"True, I hated his fucking guts. Hope he rotts in hell"

"With Lizzy" I added.

"And Billy and Taylor"

"Who?" I asked, the two names didn't even ring a bell.

"Oh just some bullies" Lewis stiffened up, "bullied me through my whole life!"

I didn't say anything - I couldn't - but I stood up and went to sit next to him. Throwing my arms around him, I hugged him tightly. Please don't cry I thought. I can't bear to see him like that.

"There are gone now" I whispered after a few minutes. Pulling away, we cuddled into each other under the dim lighting with the TV blaring in the background. "I stayed with Miss Jackson I think she was called after I had an argument with some lass. Miss knew my brother"

"Awh" Lewis kissed me, "then we ran away. Brighton. What were we thinking?" He chuckled.

"First night was brilliant" I exclaimed, remembering how free we felt. Like we ruled the world and no one could stop us.

"Yeah" he shouted, "Batman and sex!"

Typical teenage boy!

"That was great too" I winked.

"Where you thinking of something else?" He asked, going as red as a tomato.

"Yeah" I laughed, squeezing his arm tightly.

"Oh yeah. Right. Same"

"Sure" I smiled as I stroked my tattoo with my thumb, "then we came here"

"Yup"

Cuddling into his body further, we stayed silence for a while, us both probably reminiscing more.

"Were you really thinking I meant sex?" I asked, laughing.

"Yeah..."

"Hmm"

One thing lead to the other and we recreated our night that we spent in Brighton after watching Batman ...
