Jr Rev Squad - ONE SHOTS

Love Story - Part 2

The sun had barely risen when Frances jumped from her bed and sneaked out of her house, heading to the abandoned church on the outskirts of the city. Frances and Alfred have been visiting that place for two months now, leaving or taking their letters to not risk someone finding it.

When they made to meet, they would talk for hours without even noticing. Sadly the same couldn't be said to happen when they meet in public. Usually, Frances would be pulled away from near Alfred by whoever was with her or they would simply pretend not to notice the other and turn another way. It hurt them, but there wasn't anything they could do to change it.

The two rebellious teenagers were so lovestruck and devoted to each other that Alfred finally came up with an idea. He has been waiting for Frances to show up for a while now, suddenly she jumped from the shadows of the church and knocked him down.

"Hey Al" Frances giggles and he laughs at the girl above him.

"Hey Fran"

"You seemed so distracted, something happened?" She asks worried and he kisses her passionately. Once they pull away she had the eyebrows furrowed at him "Are you really ok?"

"Yes, I'm, love" He replies chuckling and helps her to stand up "But- It's just that... Frances, our parents will never accept what we are doing. They'd want to end it as soon as they find out..."

"Buuut...?" She instigates him to keep talking as they were still holding hands.

His eyes then shine a little more "What if we ran away together? We wouldn't have to worry about our families' feud nor any of the rumors about you. We could live a normal life, without having to sneak around afraid of someone seeing us"

Frances smiles brightly "I'd love to do that"

And so it was settled and planned. The next day's midnight they would meet up at the church with anything they wanted to take along with them and wait until the sun rises to get to the docks and sail away to Paris. Both of them speak French fluently and once there they would purchase a simple country house, far from the city, where Alfred would find an ordinary job and Frances could sell her paintings.

"Let me walk you home this time" Alfred asked and Frances raised an eyebrow "You know since it'll be the last time..."

Frances sighed and linked their arms with a soft smile "May we go, sir?"

They walked peacefully in the dark roads, the morning fog was still pretty dense but they made it to the Laurens' house. They went to the back of the house, from where Frances would sneak in and out every time by the balcony that linked hers and her brother's bedrooms "What are you doing?" She whispers as Alfred starts to walk in their backyard with her.

"Uhm, helping you getting up there?" He points at her balcony as it was obvious.

"Al, come on. I made it for a whole month without any help, I got this" She concludes and kisses his cheek.

She turns around and climbs up the tree that leads right to her bedroom door. Alfred couldn't stop but being completely amazed by his lover's skills and followed her. As she hopped silently onto the balcony, she looks down and sights Alfred right behind her. Frances chuckles as the boy finally gets to a branch next to her, holding to the tree tightly to not fall.

"Alfred, you naughty man" She whispers provocatively.

"What can I say? I can't stay away from you, love" He whispers back from the tree with a smirk.

"It's only one day, you can handle it"

"I know" He sighs "But still feels like I'm leaving you for so long..."
