NICK'S POV

EIGHT YEARS AGO

"Nick are you sure about this? Her folks might send us to jail dude." I hear Alec.

"Just wait, alright? She'll be out."

I gaze at my watch and it was already one in the morning. Alec and I were waiting for Catherine to come out of their mansion. We weren't planning on eloping or running away, but we just wanted to go out. We wanted to see each other after what happened when her father found us. I know it's gonna be harder to sneak her out and her bodyguards will be following her everywhere she'll go but I will do want whatever I can just to see my girlfriend.

"Nick. Shit Nick her bodyguards." Alec pulled my arm.

"Fuck. Hide." I spit.

Both of us hid behind the bushes and just hoped we won't get caught. When it was clear, one fifteen in the morning, I'm almost freezing from these bushes and Alec has been whining about leaving already, that's when I saw Catherine carefully sneaking out.

"Catherine." I called out softly.

Thank god she saw me. She quickly ran towards where we were and threw herself at me. I hugged her tight. I missed Catherine so much. I missed holding her, kissing her, telling her I love her. I missed her too much that I don't want to end this night.

"Why are you bringing your bag?" I asked.

She smiles. "I'm going to run away with you, Nick."

I gaped and Alec was shocked too.

"What?" I asked surprisingly.

"I wanna be with you. Let's run away. Let's go somewhere far from here. Just you and me. Let's think that we're doing it ahead of time before college. Nick I love you." She kissed my lips.

"Catherine... I love you too and you know that I love you too much. But..."

"Don't say no. Please. Take me anywhere with you and I'll go. I won't complain about what we're gonna eat or where you'll take me. I wanna be with you Nick. I wanna be with you so bad. I don't wanna be locked up in that house not seeing you." She cries.

I pulled her close to my body and I just hugged her, rubbing the back of her head and kissed her temple. I moved my eyes to Alec and he was moving his head sideways. He doesn't like this at all but I love Catherine and I wanna be with Catherine too.

"What the fuck." Alec mouthes to me.

I rolled my eyes at him and Catherine pulled herself away from me. I smiled, assuring her that I was okay with this, that everything was gonna be okay though I know it'll just make things even harder. But I need to try, for us. I thumb her tears away that were rolling over her cheeks.

"I won't know what will happen in every tomorrows we're gonna be facing but I won't let go of you Catherine." I kissed her hand.

She smiled at me.

"We gotta go." Alec says.
