Last chapter to this story :) no sequel! Thank you for reading.
Adam's POV
I paced back and forth in the empty space surrounded by bushes and trees. I couldn't help but be nervous. Sauli could change him mind any second, and could tell me that he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life with me. But I was hoping he wouldn't do that. I loved Sauli, and he loved me. But if he tells him mom what we're doing and then sees how torn apart she is, his mind could change in the blink of an eye.
It had been two weeks since Sauli's prom. Two weeks since I beat up all those heartless bullies. Two weeks since Sauli got turned on by me being angry. Two weeks since Sauli told me he wanted to run away with me.
That had been one of the happiest nights of my life. Sauli had said he wanted to be with me forever. And, despite the bullies trying to ruin our night, Sauli and I had fun at prom. I got to make his prom worthwhile and I got redo my own prom, making it right.
I heard panting and I looked up, seeing Sauli run into our special place. He had a gray backpack hanging off his back. I smiled a little, walking over to him and wrapping him in my arms. I pulled back and held him by the shoulders. "Are you sure you want to do this?" I asked in a small tone.
Sauli sighed and pulled away from me, throwing his arms out by his sides as he spoke. "Yes!" he shouted, not too loud but above normal speaking level. "I'm not a baby, Adam! I'm old enough to make my own decisions! I know what I want." He said the last sentence in a softer tone, looking me in the eyes and smiling lightly. I smiled back at him.
I sighed, and my smile faded. I looked at our special place, remembering the times when everything was easier than this. Sauli came up next to me and grabbed my hand, leaning his head on my shoulder. "Say goodbye to our special place, Sauli," I mumbled. He turned his head, burying his face in the sleeve of my shirt. I heard him sniffle and I looked down at him, seeing him pull away from my arm and wipe a few tears. He looked away, embarrassed. I grabbed his hand and pulled him to the car.
When we got to the car, Sauli had dried his face. He threw his backpack in the back seat and hopped in the passenger seat. I got in the driver's seat and grabbed Sauli's hand with my left hand. Then I started the car, and started driving. I sighed as we passed my house, then Sauli's. This seemed hard for him, leaving his family.
"What did you tell your mom?" I asked a few minutes later. Sauli looked out the window as we passed a few signs.
"Nothing really. I just told her I was running away with you because she wouldn't let me be with you. Then when she started crying, I left as fast as I could. I didn't want to see her like that," he said back, leaning his head on the window. The car ride was silent for a little bit, until heard Sauli snoring lightly. I smiled, feeling my plan fall into place.
About twenty minutes later, I pulled the car into a hotel parking lot, parking and turning off the car. I looked down at Sauli, who was still sleeping. It was only about four o'clock, so we still had some time to do what I was planning on doing.
I softly shook Sauli, seeing his eyes open slowly. He smiled up at me, sitting up and stretching. He looked out the window and looked confused, looking back at me. I couldn't fight the huge grin that made its way across my face.
"Where are we?" Sauli asked, looking up at all the windows on the hotel. I shook my head, getting out of the car and walking around to Sauli's side, pulling him out of the car. I grabbed my stuff, handing Sauli his backpack and locking the doors to the car. "Adam, would you please tell me what's going on?" Sauli asked, following me as I practically ran to the doors of the building.
As I entered, I held open the door for Sauli. He walked in past me, and looked around. He gasped at some of the things he saw. "Welcome to Disney Land," the man at the front desk said with a smile as we approached him. Sauli started jumping up and down and the man looked at him and laughed. I smiled, handing the man my credit card and giving him my information. He handed me two card keys, mumbling a quick "enjoy your stay", and Sauli and I were on our way.
When we got up to the hotel room, I opened the door and placed my stuff down next to the bed. Sauli immediately ran at me and tackled me onto the bed. He kissed my lips quickly and pulled away, straddling my waist. "Adam, I can't believe you did this for me! I love you so much!" He said, kissing me again. I laughed, pushing him off me and standing up.
"Come on," I said, "We are going on a few rides before the parks close at eight." He grabbed my hand, skipping with me out the door and down the hall. We made our way to the car, and got in. I had been here before, so I knew which way to go to get to the park. When we made it there, Sauli was practically jumping out of his seat.
We walked around at first, just holding hands and looking at everything. I bought Sauli Mickey Mouse ears, and he wore them for the rest of the day. I cannot help but say he looked ADORABLE in them. Then we got some cotton candy, and we went on a few roller coasters. Sauli was holding onto me the whole time on the rides, but he enjoyed them. By the time the fireworks went off, it was about seven forty five. So we just watched the fireworks until about eight o'clock until the parks closed, and then we started on our way back to the hotel.
"How long are we here for?" Sauli asked, climbing in the car. He looked happier than ever. I loved making my baby happy. If I could do it all the time, I would.
"Only until tomorrow at around two, then we have to leave," I said, sighing. Then we had to go to our apartment I had rented, I had to go look for a job, and our life together would officially start.
"This was amazing. I had so much fun. Thank you, baby. I love you so much," Sauli said. I smiled, grabbing his hand and holding it.
When we got back to the hotel, we decided to go sit by the pool. No one was really outside, so we just lay on a lounge chair together. I wrapped my arms around his waist and we looked up at the stars, taking in the moment of silence.
"I'm so glad we ran away, Adam. I love you. So much. I want to be with you forever," Sauli said to me, shifting in my arms and kissing my lips gently. I kissed him back, keeping it short and sweet.
"I love you, too, Sauli. More than you know. And I always will," I said back to him, holding him in my arms.
And for once, I felt safe. Safe from our parents, safe from the bullies, safe from reality. I was just holding my baby in my arms, the way it was always supposed to be. And finally we could be together and no one would ever be able to stop us.
