freedom can start with love

Chapter one......Elizabeth

BANG finally the distraction came, I thought. I slipped out of the ballroom and away from Mr. ugly and bald. I ran all the way to the garden. When I arrived I looked around "where is he, did he change his mind" i whispered to myself. That's when I heard it. "Elizabeth" He was here. He wraaped his strong arms around me from behind. "Josh"

"I thought you were'nt coming for a minuite" I hated myslef so much. I turned around and kissed him smack on the mouth. "Never in a million years would I set you baby"

"I know"

"We need to go though they will realize I'm gone soon" and I had no intention of being around when they did. So I grabbed Josh's hand and we ran to the car. After we got there and got in and fell back into our seats. We looked at each other and started laughing. We sat up straight in our seats after we stopped laughing. That's when he started to do a checklist, I rolled my eyes when he started on me.

"Money?"

"Yes, five hundred thousand."

"Clothes?"

"Yes, about 15 pairs,"

"How about the car?"

"In a fake name".

He smiled and said excitingly "this is going to work!" I nodded and smiled just as brightly as him. I was overjoyed he was with me, even though I never intended for him to come. I replayed our conversation in my head again.

Someone knocked on the door. "Come in" I yell, shoving my bag under my bed. I also put my keys in my purse, or the one I was carrying tonight anyway. I turned around to greet the person standing at my door, expecting my aunt. Instead I turned to see Josh Black standing at my door with tears in his eyes. Out of everything that scared me the most, Josh had never cried not even when he broke his leg. I immediately ran to him

dropping my purse to hug my friend. He welcomed me in his arms, holding me tight against him. "Please tell me that it's not true, that you're not leaving?"He asked me in a hoarse voice, that broke my heart. But it was soon overcome by the shock, how did he know? "Who told you?" I asked him pulling away, he let me."I knew something was up so I followed you for a few days, but it's true isn't it that you're leaving?" I couldn't lie to Josh, so i told him the truth "yes I am" i said sympathetically. That was when he broke, he fell to the ground and started to cry. NO, NO, NO this isn't what i wanted, I didn't to hurt him. But what he did next surprised me even more, he wiped his eyes, stood, walked over like a man on a mission, and kissed me. It was soft but demanding at the same time.I never wanted it to end, I loved him. He took a step back, and said "I love you Elizabeth Christensen". He looked me in the eye when he said it, I was the one who broke eye contact first. "Don't say things you don't mean to get me to stay" I felt like I was gonna cry. I didn't want to look at him, but he took my chin with his pointer finger and thumb. Forcing me to look at him

"Lizzy I'm not lying, you know I would never lie to you about this".

"Well it doesn't matter I still have to go."

"Let me come with you then?"
"What" I said utterly shocked.

"Let me come with you then?" he smiled

"Are you sure Josh?"

"Yes more than anything yes"

"Okay then" I said after a small pause. He smiled from ear to ear. He kissed me again, and pushed me back against the bed.I fell back onto it, with him following. We both laughed, but suddenly his warm lips were on mine once again. His hand started to slowly trail up my thigh, asking.

I grabbed his shirt and pulled it off, momentarily breaking the kiss, but also giving him his answer. He stepped out of his pants and boxers at the same time, he was back on top of me in an instance. I helped him pull my dress of so I was only in my underwear, while he was naked. Slowly his kisses moved to my neck and my body reached up for him, his kisses kept moving down, dancing across my skin. Suddenly our bliss was broken by a knock on the door. "Elizabeth may I come in" my aunt's voice came through the door. I inwardly groaned and rolled my eyes at Josh, who silently laughed. "No aunt Lilly I'm getting dressed" I yelled, which was the truth I started moving to grab my dress and threw it on. I grabbed Josh's clothes and put the on the end of the bed, giving him a look saying to get dressed. He fake pouted and got up to grab his clothes, hurrying to putting them on."Okay, but hurry the party will start in an hour" she says "okay" I replied. I turned to a fully dressed Josh and smiled but i soon remembered what was

about to happen. "Go pack and meet me in the garden at 12 okay.....if you still wanna come." I could see the excitement in his eyes, but i felt bad for taking him away from everything he knew.
