It was the day of the Winters Ball. My  mother is trying to get me a husband. She got me this dress-

I put my hair up in a French braided bun, with a black bow tied tight around my hair. I went downstairs and heard horse running against the concrete. I knew it was the one and only Schuyler Sisters. I loved one of their sisters, Eliza. I loved her for her personality, not money nor looks, but she was really rich and pretty. I'm looking forward to seeing her, but I know she won't return these affections. She is looking for a smart, rich man, not a poor women. I smile at the thought of dancing with her, maybe even courting her but who am I kidding, I can't have a single talk with her. Somebody knocks on the door.

"I'll get it." I walk up to the door and there she is, Elizabeth Schuyler. She smiles as I open the door.

I blush. She gets more beautiful every time I see her. We just stare at each other, my blush darkens. I see a dark blush flying across her freckled, olive skinned face.

"Y/N!" My mother calls, breaking the sweet silence. I roll my eyes.

"Yes mother." I scream.

"Have fun."

"Yes mother." Me and Eliza leave the house. When we start walking she slips her hand into mine. My blush is creeping down my neck now. Eliza stops walking.

"I forgot to tell you something." I nod. "My sisters are there already, me and you get the carriage to ourselves till we get there." She said in her happily, bubbly tone. I smile widely.

"Eliza I have to tell you something." I say.

"Y/N I do to."

"You tell me first."

"I really like you Y/N. I like you more than a friend." My smile is there. She likes me, SHE LIKES ME. She looks at me in confusion because I'm just standing there not saying anything. I pull her into a soft kiss, she kisses back instantly. I have never been more happy, then somebody had to go ruin it.

"Y/N L/N WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING. GET IN THE HOUSE NOW!" My mother screams. She runs out the house and pushes Eliza onto the ground. Before I can help her, my mother drags me into the house. She throws me into the floor. I look out the window seeing Eliza still sitting on the ground.

"Answer my question now."

"I like Eliza, no more like LOVE Eliza, and you can't stop me." I say. I was getting up when she slapped me in the face. She pulls me in by the collar and screams in my face.

"You will be forced into marriage then." She screams. I start crying. I get out of her grip.

"Go to your room." She screams.

"No."

"That attitude will not be tolerated in this house young lady. GO TO YOUR ROOM."

"No mother, I'm leaving. I'm staying with Eliza and you can't stop me." I scream. I run to the door.

"Die in hell."

"That language will not be tolerated Old Lady." I mocked her. I ran out the house.

"Y/N what's wrong."

"I'm running away." She smiles.

"I'm coming with you." She says. I pull her into a hug and she returns the favor with a passionate kiss.

"Let's go." I say. We run until we can't fell our feet anymore. We ran to her house. She grabbed some clothes, money and food. She takes my hand.

"Let's go uptown." I say. She smiles. We walk.

All I know is she loves me, I love her and that was enough.
