Check yes Juliet
Are you with me?
Rain is falling down on the sidewalk
I won't go until you come outside
Gustav stood outside waiting for her. It was beginning to rain, but that wouldn't stop him.
Check yes Juliet
Kill the limbo
I'll keep tossing rocks at your window
There's no turning back for us tonight
He picked up another rock. He was preparing to throw it until she opened her window. He smiled up at her.
"Gustav, be quiet! Don't wake up my aunt!"
She frowned at him. His smile faltered and eventually faded.
"Sorry, but come on! We have to go!"
She smiled slightly and told him to catch her bag when she tossed it out the window. She climbed out and into the tree so she could get down.
Run, baby, run
Don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart
If you give them the chance
Don't sell your heart
Don't say we're not meant to be
Run, baby, run
Forever we'll be
You and me
While she was climbing, Gustav thought about his parents. They were the reason that he was leaving. They were always trying to keep them apart. They even went so far as to ban her from the house. Eventually they said if he wanted to be with her, then he could just leave.
Check yes Juliet
I'll be waiting
Wishing, wanting
Yours for the taking
Just sneak out
And don't tell a soul goodbye
She knew that she was taking a big risk to be with Gustav. Her aunt would be devastated. Her aunt loved her and even approved of Gustav, even though he was 6 years older than her, sometimes 7.
Check yes Juliet
Here's the countdown
Three, two, one
Now fall in my arms
Now they can change the locks
Don't let them change your mind
When she was down, she ran and leaped into Gustav's arms. She remembered how his parents had changed the locks so he wouldn't sneak in with her while they were working. She breathed in his familiar scent until he let go, grabbed her hand, and led her around the corner into his car.
We're flying through the night
We're flying through the night
Way up high
The view from here is getting better
With you by my side
Gustav was speeding down the highway. April was staring out the window at the nighttime sky. He glanced over at her and smiled. They didn't know where they were going, but everything would be okay. As long as they had each other.
