I wake up and notice that Laurence is gone. I look around and notice that he's brushing his teeth. The part that makes me giggle is the fact that he has no shirt on and is flexing in the mirror. "Morning macho man." He quickly turns around and grins. He spits out his tooth paste and comes over to me.

"Morning sleepy head. How'd you sleep?"

"Good. How about you?"

"Amazing since you were in the bed." He leans down and kisses my forehead. " So it's the weekend and I was wondering if I could take you on a date later tonight?"

"Of course! I'd love to. Especially if it's with my boyfriend."

"I guess you're getting used to it. I like that."

"My mom just texted. She said that she's at work and she'll be there for 3-4 hours. She left some money on the table as well as some pancakes."

"Well then, if she's going to be gone for a while maybe we could catch up on some things."

"What do you mean?" All he does is grin at me. Our faces start to get close as he starts to climb on top of me. Finally, our lips meet. His lips are soft and warm. Each kiss leaves us hungry for more. I can't believe, that after all this time, he's here. He was the boy who I loved and loved me in return. He knows my secret now and I know he'll never tell it. He'll never tell of what has or had happened to us. He's the little boy I would play in the tree house with and I'd have sleep overs with. By now he's slipped my shirt off and I'm now on him. The sheets have fallen off the bed and we are just starting. Every moment we kiss is another moment thinking of how much I've missed him. How, despite everything, he still loves me. The phone rings. We pull apart breathless. I pick up the phone and put it on speaker, assuming it was my mom. We hear a male voice growling.

"You think you can hide, but I'll find you. You think that you can run, but I'll catch you. Don't think for a second that your boyfriend or your mother can save you. You've better watch your back wherever you go to make sure I'm not right behind you Alexa. That's right I know your name. I also know that you're with your boyfriend Laurence. I'll see you both VERY soon." The phone goes silent and we hang up. We get out if bed and get dressed. I call my mom and she rushes home.

~time skip to when mom comes         home~

"We need to leave NOW!!"

"Who is this man?!"

"It's your father. He found out what I did to you and now he wants you as a weapon and Laurence as leverage. We need to go. Pack your stuff up and bring your valuables. We'll stop by Laurence's house on the way so we can grab his stuff. I need to tell your parents that Andrew is back."

"Wait, my parents knew!?!"

"Yes. I'll explain more later. We HAVE TO GO!!!" Laurence and I run upstairs, quickly make the bed, and pack my clothes and any valuable jewelry, pictures, and stuff that'd be to hard to loose. We also pack my make up and bathroom needs and I grab my emergency and saved up money. I guess this is how our weekend will go. Yay.

           ~At Laurence's house~

Laurence's house was different from what I remembered. I guess he moved to a different house but on the same street? When he looks over and sees me puzzled, he takes my hand and smiles.

"This is the same home from our childhood."

"It looks different from what I remember."

"That's because whoever was in here after we left remodeled it. It looks better actually."

"Eh. I kinda just wish it was the same. Does it still have the tree house in the back?" He nods. I gasp and run to the backyard. He follows behind me. When I look at the trees I spot it. The tree house that him and I used to pretend was our own little house. We had little bean bag chairs, a chalk board, a trunk full of toys and food, and (my personal favorite) all the art and music supplies. We had a guitar in there that I learned how to play while he learned the piano. I guess I was in such train of thought that I didn't realize I moved to the steps of the house. I look behind me and see that Laurence is remembering everything to. As I start walking up the stairs, I feel two soft hands on my exposed waist. I know it's Laurence and just coming closer to him and the top of the steps I can't help but smile. I get to the top and I feel like I'm about to cry. It's all still here. Every picture, every thing of sheet music, every note from holidays all here. I go and sit in my chair and he sits in his. I laugh.

"What?"

"I can't believe it. It's all here. EVERYTHING is still here."

"When we moved, I made sure I took everything with me and when we moved back I put it all back up hoping I'd find you. Guess I did. I love you Alexis Kuekly. I always have and always will. My family moved because I wanted to find you. When I couldn't find you, we moved back." I can feel the tears stream down my face. He leans over to wipe the tears but I grab his face and kiss him. When we part, I can see tears form in his eyes. "I will NEVER EVER let you go again."

"Promise?"

"Promise. Now let's go. There's no room for tears. We have to get stuff packed."

"Let's grab some stuff from in here. In case we can't come back we can remember are childhood." He nods.
