I drove with my foot pressed on the gas petal the entire time, not waiting for stop signs or red lights. I know exactly where they are. Lou has been taking Jennifer to the fair every week to "show how much he loves her".

This is just a distraction or a stall. Niall doesn't want me taking Lizzy, so he's trying to sabotage my plan to get her away.

I just hope she understands when I tell her we're leaving and not coming back. I hope she can forgive me..

I'm finally here. Parking my car, not caring that I was taking up two spaces. I slammed my door shut and ran. I need to find her before it's too late.

I take my phone from my pocket and dial her number, not slowing my pace.

Rin-- "Hello?"

"Babe, where are you?"

"At the fair with Jen and Lou. Why?" I can hear the cheesy booth game music in the background.

"I'll explain later. Tell me exactly where you are"

"we're at the-- what?" She take  the phone away from her mouth, but I can still hear their background conversation. "okay?.. um, Lou told me not to say where we are..?"

"Damn it. Lizzy, tell me where you are"

I can hear rustling on the other side. "Lizzy!?" I yell.

Louis speaks. "The lads told me to keep Liz away from you. I'm not sure why. But they seemed quite freaked out.."

"Damn it, Louis. Tell me where the fuck where you are so I can come get her"

"Look, Haz--"

"Don't call me that" My teeth grit together.

"Harry, I don't mean to make you angry .. all I'm going to tell you is that we're walking away from the dart throwing booth. We're going on the Ferris Wheel.. if we get down and you're there waiting for her, you can have her. Deal?"

I hang up and sprint all the way to the Ferris Wheel. I use my height to advantage and look over all the heads to look for one in particular face. I look up at the Ferris Wheel and see them approaching the top.

Lou and Jen were in one car.. alone. Where the hell is Lizzy!?

In the car behind them was a familiar body shape. Same hair, same color skin, same clothes. She turns her head and I see the side of her face.

Lizzy.

She's laughing. There's someone next to her.. a guy. What the fuck!

"LIZZY!!" I yell her name. She looks around frantically. Looking through the crowd until she finally see  me.

Her car gets to the top and comes back down. Her eyes never look away from me. When they're at the bottom and the ride is over they all come over to me. The guy following her.

"Harry. What are you doing here?" She runs up and hugs me, as if that's going to make it better.

"Who are you" I narrow my eyes at the guy. I hold Lizzy close to my side and continue to stare down the guy.

Nothing but fear in his eyes.

"Harry. This is Garrison.." Lizzy said when he wouldn't speak up.

"Why was he sitting with you" I look at him. He has dark hair and brown eyes, brown freckles, long legs about 5'9".

"He was the next person in line, behind me. We both had no one to sit with, so I invited him to sit with me. It's really not that big a deal, Harry"

"Fine" I take a breath. She doesn't like it when I get mad. "I need to speak with you. So lets go" I take her hand and start walking.

"Where are we going??"

"Were going on a little trip"

"oohh. To where?"

"I was going to let you choose"

"okay.. I've always wanted to go swimming in Mexico"

"I was thinking somewhere further.. how about Hawaii? You could swim with the dolphins, or whatever"

"Hawaii? Are you sure"

"Of course. Whatever you want"

"What's the occasion??" She asks curiously as we weave through the crowd.

"I just want to getaway for a little while"

"oh, so it's a romantic getaway?" She moved closer to my side. "I like it"

It's a little more difficult cutting through the crowd so I stop. "Hop on my back. We'll get thought faster"

"Okay. Just don't start running or something" She puts her small hands on my shoulders and I hold my hands behind me. She jumps up and hops on my back. I support her by holding her legs with my hands.

"Hold on" I say.

"Harry" she whines, but still tightens her grip around me. She rests her chin on my shoulder and I turn my head to give her a quick kiss.

Her giggle brings a smile to my face and I walk faster so we can get to my car faster and get out of town as quick as possible.

Lizzy'sPOV.

"How long are we leaving for exactly? Cause I've got to write my dad and Alex a note telling them where I am and for how long. I've also got to go to my school office and get the work I'm going to miss. I've got to say goodbye to everyone--" I ask.

"I'll write the note while you call your school. You can call your friend while we're driving to the airport"

"Sounds like you have it all planned" I smile, taking a small break from packing to give him a kiss.

He pushed me away gently. "As much as I want to kiss you.. our flight leaves soon"

"You've never rejected a kiss from me.. what's so important about this trip?" I narrow my eyes and lift an eyebrow. 

He answers by taking a large step froward, grabbing the back of my neck and kissing me passionately. 

We pull away breathlessly. "Nothing is more important that loving you" 

A smile creeps onto my face and he sweeps my hair behind my ear. "You are the most important thing to me. Always know that" he whispers, pecking my forehead and stepping back. 

"Now, like I said before, our flight will leave with or without us. So we need to start moving" He walks to my door, but stops. He turns and flashes a dimpled smile then walks out. 

I laugh, at myself and the feeling in my stomach. How did I fall so deeply in love with this boy?
