Park:

"Dad!" I yell, the postcard, I need to go and get Eleanor, she's not safe.

"What!" He yells back.

"Come and see this!"

"What is it?"

"It's an emergency!"

"What type of an emergency?"

"An Eleanor emergency." Dad came rushing in, sweating like a dog. "What happened to her? Is she ok?"

"No, look at this." I show him the Postcard Of The 1,000 Lakes. I got caught, written in her shitty pencil marks that we call writing. "I need to go save her dad."

"Take the car. No, the truck, and don't look back."

I wonder why he was doing this. And don't look back.. He wants me to runaway? "You want me to runaway?"

He replies instantaneously, "You need to save Eleanor, if you bring her back, there is a 100% chance they'll find her."

"Thanks dad, I'll call you when I get there."

"Good luck son."

Eleanor:

300 days. Does it take that long to get a damn postcard? I don't know what to do but every day I hope Park will come and get me. I sleep outside, at a gas station near my house, just right across the street from my Uncle's house, watching the street, hoping Park will come.

Park:

"In 2 more miles turn right, onto Gilmore Ave." States the GPS. Turning right, my heart stops for a moment as I look across the street and see her, the great Eleanor, sitting on a bench. She's lost a lot of weight and she looks messy and horrible, what happened?

"Park!" She yells excitedly as she gets up slowly attempting to run towards the car, which gave me enough time to get out and run towards her too, she jumps into my arms and the whole world disappears, its just the two of us.

"I came for you as soon as I got the message." I say with my face buried in her hair.

"There was a 99.9% chance that I thought you wouldn't come, but that .1% chance that said 'hey Eleanor, he loves you and he said he always would, didn't he?' kept me going."

"I've thought about you every single day Eleanor." I love saying her name, it always sounds like home.

"Its been a year, I was almost sure you've forgotten."

The sound of a roaring car was slowly getting closer to us. I pull away, "Get in the car. Now"

We both rush to the car and right when she gets in I start driving. "Where are we going?" She asks in a panic.

"I don't know," I say with all of my love for her, "But it's away from our houses and with you, so you can be safe. So we can be a thing."

"I'm so glad you came, Park." She wonders off with all the happiness she can, "I thought about you everyday with all your letters in my pocket. yet didn't respond because of fear that you forgot about about me or I'd say the wrong thing. But my aunt and uncle decided to tell my parents, so they're on their way here, I think they saw me get into your car," She glances at the mirror outside the car, "They're right behind us, can you drive any faster?"
