Writing Prompt: story 02



The boy catches me off guard, causing me to slip my grip, I gasp and fall to the ground. I groan and rub my eyes with my hands, it must have been a trick of the light, or darkness, whatever. I look at my side, nope, the boy is still there, he has landed on the grass and rushes to my side.

I notice his honey eyes glisten in the moonlight, his hair now messy by the wind, his eyebrows furrowed with worry.

"Are you okay?" He asks, frowning slightly.

"Oh yeah, I'm fine." I reply, holding my head between my hands. "My foots killing me, I must have landed wrong." I glare at him slightly.

He holds his hands up. "Hey, don't blame this on me."

"Yeah sure, whatever." I roll my eyes and attempt to stand up, I make a horrible mistake and put pressure on my left foot. An excruciating pain spreads from my ankle, numbing my entire leg. I yelp and fall back down, the boy grabs my arm, stopping me from crash landing to the ground.

"Geez, take it easy lady!" He grunts, sitting down besides me.

"Oh I'm, sorry. I didn't notice I was wasting your time. You can go now, I'm fine." I grumble, still irked by the fight I just had with my father.

I can't believe that I'm supposed to get married tomorrow, I'm only 18, I won't even be able to drink during my wedding toast. I know that my parents were having financial problems, but solving it by forcing me to marry a rich man was absurd! I absolutely hated them for doing this to me, I am an adult, yet I have no right in this.

The boy sighs and rubs his forehead, "Look, you might have sprained your ankle, you have to get that looked at."

"Yeah, I know I'll call a cab, bye." I say roughly, shooing him away from me.

He clenches his jaw and closes his eyes. "Calm down, I'm just trying to help."

I take a deep breath. "Sorry, I'm just not in a good mood."

He opens his eyes and looks at me curiously. "What are you doing here?"

"I should ask you the same thing."

He chuckles dryly, not an pinch of enthusiasm laced in his voice. "Family problems."

"Don't we all." I say sarcastically.

He glares at me, his eyes hard. "Aren't you a bit young to be running away? What are you? 16?"

"I'm 18, not that it's any of your business." I grumble as I start to look for my phone.

The boy stretches his hand out, waiting for me to shake it. "I'm Liam, 21."

I take his hand. "Nice to meet you Liam 21."

Liam scoffs. "Original."

I grin at him and call the cab. "Cabs arriving." I inform him.

"K." He replies hastily.

I look at him one more time, he's kind of cute, light brown hair matching the color of his eyes, golden orbs surround his pupils. He firm jaw and structured nose complement his face shape. He glances at me and catches me staring. I look away embarrassed when he gives me a lazy smile.

"So...what do you do?" I ask him awkwardly.

He turns to face me. "Well, I'm working in my dads company. You?"

"I'm an art major." I say sadly, Liam raises an eyebrow at my reaction. "I'm taking a break." I say quietly.

"And?"

"I don't want to." I sigh.

"Then don't."

I give him a tight smile. "It's more complicated than that."

Before Liam could ask me more, a car light approaches us. It's the cab, the man comes out and looks at us in confusion.

"Here's our ride." Liam grins at me. He helps me up and sits me into the vehicle, cramming next to me afterwards. "The nearest hospital please."

We ride in silence, I look out of the window, my personal prison becomes smaller and smaller as I feel my freedom become bigger and bigger. I sigh in relief when the building gets out of my sight, then I look at Liam next to me, who sighed at the same time as I do.

He cocks his head. "Who would have thought that I'd be stuck with you?"

"You got me." I grumble.

"So, tell me more about yourself."

"Okay." I start. "My name's Taylor, my birthday is 5th May 2002, I have a younger brother named Daniel and I'm running away from my family." I say.

He smiles at me. "I'm Liam, I'm 21, born the 18th March 1999, I'm an only child and I'm running away from my parents."

"1999 huh? That's kinda old." I mutter under my breath, apparently he hears me and laughs lightly, shaking his head. My cheeks burn up. "I didn't mean for you to hear that." I confess.

"Don't worry about it." He grins.

The car comes to a halt, the driver turns around. "We're here."

I start to look for some extra cash in my purse, Liam stops me. "I'll take care of this."

I shift on my seat. "Thank you." I don't have any money on me anyways.

He pays the driver and helps me into the hospital, reaching one of the nurses. "Hi, my friend here has got a sprained ankle."

The nurse looks at Liam then at me, she turns back at him and gives him a dazzling smile, obviously attracted to him. "I'll be right with you sir, but I've got more important things to do."

He grabs her arm and stops her. "I need you to take care of it now." He says forcefully.

"Sir-"

"I'm in a bit of a hurry, so I really need you to take care of this now."

The nurse sighs. "I can't do anything about this."

"Does the name Turner ring a bell to you?" He says, gritting his teeth. The nurse takes a double take.

"Of course, right this way." She says, walking us wobbly towards another nurse, she whispers into her ear, look nervously between them and then show us to a room.

I know the name Turner, I heard it before. Where? I force myself to think, then I remember, Turner was the surname of the man I had to marry. I glance over at Liam as the pieces start to place themselves together. I stop on my tracks, my mouth hangs open as I gape at him.

He turns at me worriedly. "Are you okay?"

"You're name is Liam Turner?" I ask, knowing the answer.

He looks uncomfortably by my intense staring. "Um..yeah?"

"Oh my god." I say quietly. "Oh my god."

"What's wrong?"

Liam Turner, this was the guy I had to marry? Would I have? I look at Liam, he seems nice, friendly, funny and he is kind, but I did just meet him, and he was also running away from the wedding, slowly climbing down his window...

Finally I speak. "I'm Taylor Lewis."

His eyes widen as soon as the words leave my mouth. "You're supposed to be my-" His sentence is cut off, two nurses come and drag me away.

The examination goes smoothly and they wrap my ankle tightly, but I can't hear a word the doctor is telling me, all I can think about is Liam. What was I going to do? What was I going to say?

They lead me into a room to rest, I sit on the bed, wrapping the blankets around me and resting my head onto the pillow. I turn on the tv and groan at the news, a picture of me and Liam are in the breaking news.

"Taylor Lewis, age 18, was found missing from her last location, along with millionaires son and fiancée, Liam Turner, age 21. The two were to be married in the next 24h, but are both missing from their room. The same method of disappearance: ladder sheets hanging from their room."

I turn the off tv, just as the door opens and Liam comes in.

"Hey." I say. This is going to be awkward.

"Hey." Yep, called it.

"So...I'm ok- I mean my ankle is fine."

Liam scratches the back of his neck. "Good." He pauses, then he finally sighs and sits on my bed. "Wow, this is awkward."

I close my eyes. "Yeah it is."

"What do you want to do?"

I open my eyes. "What do you mean?"

He chuckles nervously. "Well, I'm guessing you were running away from the marriage?"

"Yeah I guess." I pause. "But it had nothing to do with you, I mean, I didn't even know what you looked like." I chuckle nervously.

"Oh yeah, same here." He smiles meekly at me.

"I just too young to get married, and with someone I don't know..."

"Yeah, I get you."

"So what do you suggest?"

"I don't know." I admit.

Abruptly, his face brights up. "How would you like to travel the word."

I look at him in confusion. "Um...what?"

"I've got money in my bank account, I was going to journey alone, but if you want to tag along..."

I think for a minute, travel with a man I just met that day? Well, I was supposed to marry him... "I always wanted to see the word, we never had enough money though... I guess that would be fun." I admit.

He nods in approval. "Let's make our parents go crazy."

I grin. "Let's."

I wonder what this is going to end like.

Yes we doooo, ofc their going to fall in love and live happily ever after! So that's that! Vote and comment on the chapters if you liked this story, wait around for more!
