Oz' POV
It took me us a few hours to fly to USA. It was already evening when we reached the country's borders. I saw the dazzling city lights from above, which made my jaw drop in awe.
It was drizzling, light rain clouds can be seen from above. I was worried that this drizzle right now will become a storm later on, but I hope not.
I decided to take a little nap since I thought that it will still take a few hours before we reach Los Angeles. The pitter patter of the rain really made me sleepy.
I was woken up by the lights of a huge building. We were about to land on the building. The pilot landed the helicopter, and I waited until the engines were completely turned off.
I quickly jumped out of the helicopter. But then, the pilot called me, and I quickly knew who the owner of that voice was. Xerxes Break.
"Hey" The clown said in a goofy tone "You shouldn't leave class without permission, you know?" He said playfully.
I was surprised, my eyes were open wide and I couldn't say anything.
He smirked. He took out a briefcase beside him. He handed it to me while saying, "Here, that briefcase contains a cellphone, a change of clothes and some dollars"
I took the briefcase "What is this for?" I asked as I tilted my head.
"Miss Sharon said that I should give it to you" He grinned "You're lucky that I'm an acquaintance of the Rainsworth family, or else, no one would fly you here"
"Thank you very much" I bowed respectfully.
"No need to," He sneered "Go on, get to your girlfriend, I'll be here waiting for you"
I nodded. I quickly ran as fast as I can to the elevator. I mashed the 'ground floor' button. It took me a few minutes to get there since the building was so tall. I figured that it was a branch of the Rainsworth Company. I quickly rushed to the exit the second the elevator opened.
I open the briefcase and took out the cellphone that was in it. I took out my phone and opened the call log. I quickly dialed the number that Alice used to call me in my other phone. I waited for a few minutes but it said that Alice was busy. She wasn't answering her phone.
I panicked. Why isn't she answering her phone?! Did she change her phone? Or maybe she changed her number? Millions of thoughts entered my mind that I thought it was going to burst.
I took out a few breaths before continuing. I walked around the place. I thought of using my money to ride a taxi to Alice's place, but I didn't know where she lived.
I sat on a bench by a park. I decided to sort things out. I examined the briefcase, a phone, 10000 USD, and a change of clothes. What the heck will I do with this?! I thought to myself.
The rain was becoming strong, I knew I was going to get soaked here so I quickly searched for shelter. I tried to call Alice again, it took quite a long time that I almost lost hope but someone answered the call. I was overjoyed when I heard who was talking on the phone.
"Hello?!" Alice yelled through the phone. "She didn't change at all" I thought to myself.
"Alice!" I said with joy. I was nearly moved to tears. I missed her voice, the loud, childish tone that I hated when I first hear it.
"O-Oz?" she said in a surprised tone.
Alice's POV
My heart was beating really fast. My first friend is talking to me on the phone. The person that I thought I would be with forever. The reason why my heart broke when I left. The person who I first fell in love with. Before I knew it, tears were streaming down on my face.
"Oz!" I said in a joyous tone. "I'm glad you were able to call!"
"Yeah, me too" He said, I could hear rain falling over the phone. Then, it hit me. It was also raining here, and the number he used to call me was from USA, then it means he's here.
"Are you in USA right now?" I asked my heart beating faster, I thought it was going to jump out of my chest.
"Yes, I'm at a park near the Rainsworth building." He said, his voice was quite shaky on the phone, maybe because of low reception. "Meet me right now, we're going back to Europe"
My eyes widened upon hearing what he just said. "What?!" I half yelled. The thought couldn't just register on my mind. I mean, how does he think that he can get me out of this hellhole? And if we ever succeed in escaping, where on earth would we hide? I can't stay at the Vessalius mansion, I'm quite sure they'll kill me if I ever do. I thought he was crazy for a second.
"We'll escape, Sir Break is waiting at the Rainsworth Company building. I'll help you escape if you ever need me." He said persistently, a hint of excitement in his voice.
"Where will we hide if ever succeed escaping?" I asked, a bit annoyed.
"I'll think of a plan, Jack can probably help us." He said reassuringly.
"How about my family? Alyss? I'm sure they're gonna be dead serious about finding me. They're gonna kill, and maybe you too" I said in a worrying tone. I was really worried. It was fine if it was just me being hurt. But I'm sure they'll hurt Oz too, and I don't want that.
"I-I'm sorry, I guess I'm quite an idiot for acting like that by myself. I never considered your feelings and all" I could feel that his voice was weakening. But I couldn't just leave my family for him alone.
"I know, I'm sorry too" I was really guilty for leaving him like this. My eyes couldn't stop from crying.
"I guess… it's really goodbye now huh?" He said, I knew he was crying behind the phone.
My guilt was killing me. Deep inside me, I know I really want to see him. To see his bright, carefree smile once more. "He-hey, can I see you? Even it's for a short amount of time. I want to be with you, just one more time" I said, I really wanted to see him. I felt that if didn't see him, my heart would really explode.
"Okay" He said, I knew that there was a glint of happiness in his tone. "I'm at the park, I don't know where you are so I can't exactly go to your place."
"It's fine, I'll go there" I said, a bit excited. "Wait for me"
"Okay"
I ended the phone call and quickly grabbed a jacket and sneaked out of the house. I did my best to silence my steps. I exited through the back door. I couldn't really get out through the main door since there were many security guards there. I tried to get near the fence. I climbed the metal fence silently, I almost slipped because it was wet since it's raining, but luckily, I didn't. I called a taxi.
I entered the taxi cab and said, "Rainsworth Family Park" It took as about 10 minutes to get there since the park was quite far from our house. I paid the fare, and exited the cab.
I searched for him. As I did, I thought about what he looks like. Blond hair, emerald eyes, childish face, before I knew it, I was already smiling.
"Alice!" A familiar voice I heard from behind. I quickly looked back. And there he was, smiling at me.
I quickly ran to him. My arms landed to him as I hugged him really tight. It was raining really hard, but that doesn't matter. All that matters is we were together again.
I cried, "Oz" I squeezed my hands on his body. "I missed you so much" I sobbed.
"I know, I missed you too" He said, he embraced my as tight as I did.
We stood in the middle of the rain. I was in his tight embrace, his hands on my shoulder. I was silently crying on his chest. We were sharing each other's warmth. We stood there like there was nobody watching us, like we were the only people in the whole wide world. We didn't care about the rain at all, all that matters to us is that we were together at last.
But then, another familiar voice called my name.
"Alice" My sister said, her arms crossed on her chest.
"Alyss… it's not what you think it is!" I said as I waved my hands in panic.
"Oh I know what it is" She said in a sarcastic tone, rolling her eyes.
"Alice's right, I just came here to meet her, that's all" Oz explained, he was panicking. He knew that we were in for trouble.
Alyss giggled. "You should've seen the look your eyes" she said as she covered her mouth, as if she wanted to hide her laughs.
"W-what?" I was flabbergasted. I was really confused that I didn't know what to do.
"We can go back to Europe" She said with a smile.
Well that escalated quickly. "What?!" I literally shouted. I was really surprised, I didn't know what was happening and the thoughts can't just register on my mind. First, Oz came here, then, we'll go back to Europe. What else is next? I'll give birth to a chicken?!
"Whoa, calm down" She muttered "Dad knew that you were escaping. He probably figured that you weren't happy here. He called me and said that I should follow you. He said that we finish our own business there before coming back here. But deep inside, I knew that he was just worried about us, he just too shy to show it"
The thoughts finally registered on my brain. We were free. I can finally go back.
"We'll be back, Alice" I looked at Alyss, she was already crying. Maybe it was tears of joy, but I knew I was crying too.
"How about our things, did you get them already?" I asked, wiping down my tears.
"Yeah" She then pointed behind her. It was a black van. The car's window opened and then I saw a familiar face. It was Elliot.
"Hey there" He waved at us "You should stay the night here and fly to Europe tomorrow. Let the rain slow down" He smirked "My brother would kill me if the three of you were hurt.
"Gilbert" I said, so that seaweed head actually worries about us, huh?
"Sure" Alyss said. She then looked at Oz "The helicopter is at the Rainsworth building right?"
"Yes" He nodded "At the rooftop"
"You guys should go to the hotel nearby, I already checked in for the both of you" She handed us what seems to be a card. The number '027' was written on it.
"Wa-wait, Oz and I are gonna share a room?!" I blushed upon the thought.
"Don't be shy, I know you want that, silly" She grinned as she headed for the van.
I was as red as a tomato. I looked at Oz and I thought that he would put a lobster to shame because of the redness of his face.
"Let's just go, I don't want to catch a cold from the rain" I quickly grabbed his hand and ran to the hotel. The warmth of hands heated mine that was as cold as ice.
It just took as a few minutes to get to the hotel. The room Alyss checked is on the ground floor. The room was not luxurious, a small with a queen sized bed. I took a bath before him. I insisted that he go first but he plain rejected me. After both of us took a bath, we sat at the sofa, my head resting on his chest, his arms left arm holding my left shoulder. It was a long moment of silence when he finally broke it.
"It's been a long day, huh?" He said
"Yeah" I said as I drew circles on his stomach using my fingers.
"I thought I would never be with you again." He said, a glint of sadness in his voice.
"Me too" I said. The warmth of his body comforting mine. I know I can't manage to be separated from him again. I knew it was time to say I love him. I built up my courage. I took deep breaths, and finally, "I love you" I said as I hid my face on his chest.
"I know," He said as he patted my head "I feel the same"
I looked at him, his emerald green eyes staring into mine. My lips crashed on his and that's all that mattered. I knew that that was all I wanted. The crazysquirmyfunny feeling in my heart, was replaced by unmatchable happiness.
I finished it… I finished it… I FINISHED IT!
PS:I can't really say something right now since I'm really happy. Author's note comin' out tomorrow. Review. Love ya guys.
