Bradin and Kaitlin walked outside and were greeted by their younger siblings.

"How are you two doing?" Lauren asked.

"We're okay," Kaitlin said.

"Are you going to do it?" Nikki asked.

"Not just yet. We're going to wait a few weeks," Kaitlin told them, "and see what happens then."

"That sounds like a plan," Nikki said.

Bradin looked down at Kaitlin as he kept his arm around her shoulders. He pulled her closer and hugged her.

"Are you okay?" Derrick asked his brother.

"Yeah I'm fine," Bradin said.

"Can we hang out with you guys today?" Lauren asked, "We have nothing to do and we are bored out of our minds."

"That's no problem," Kaitlin said. She looked up at Bradin. "Is it okay with you?"

"Yeah," he said softly.

As the five walked into town trying to find something to do, Kaitlin became worried about Bradin. He hasn't said very much since they left his room.

"Are you okay?" she asked quietly.

He nodded and looked down at her.

"Hey guys!" Kaitlin yelled to the siblings that were ahead of them, "We'll catch up in a minute!"

"Okay!" they yelled.

Kaitlin stopped her and Bradin from walking and turned to him. "Talk to me," she said.

He sighed and ran his hands through his hair.

"Brae," she said.

He looked at her. "I'm thinking about earlier," he said lowering his head.

"What part?"

"The eloping part," he said, "I really want to do it. I just don't know if I'm ready or not. It's all that I can think about these days because I'll be spending the rest of my life with you. You don't know how happy I will be after that day. I'm also still thinking about why people are trying so hard to make us unhappy."

"Do you want to sneak out tonight?"

He looked up at her. "Tonight? Are you ready to do this?" he asked.

"Bradin, it's what I want. It's what you want. Why don't we just do it? If we go through for a wedding, we will never do it. Everyone would try to find a reason why we shouldn't marry. I'll even pay for it."

He looked away and back at her. He kissed her. "We'll split it," he whispered.

She bit her bottom lip.

"Hey," he said, "that's my job remember?"

"How could I forget? You ALWAYS remind me whenever I do it," she said.

"I have to remind you. You seem to forget."

"At points I do," she said kissing him, "We better go catch up to them. I don't think they want to stand around waiting any longer."

He hugged her tightly and they ran to catch up to their siblings.

"Who are you two running from?" Derrick asked.

"We were far behind you guys and wanted to catch up," Bradin told his younger brother.

"What happened back there?" Nikki asked Kaitlin, "Why or how did he become so happy within five minutes?"

"We both agreed to do something?" Kaitlin said not knowing what to tell her. She looked at Bradin and whispered, "Should we tell them?"

"We're sneaking out tonight to elope," Bradin told the three.

At first, the three were shocked. Then, they ran and hugged the two tightly.

"Oh my god!" Lauren and Nikki yelled as they hugged them.

"We're so happy for you!" Nikki said.

"Please don't tell anyone that we're doing it," Kaitlin said, "I don't want another war between the families."

"Deal," they said in usion.

NIGHT

Bradin went around the house making sure that everyone was asleep. Then, he grabbed the car keys, went through his room, out his door, tried not to wake up Jay, and out to the car to get Kaitlin. As he pulled up to her house, he saw her climbing out of her window. He smiled at the thought of him and Kaitlin being together for the rest of their lives. She got to his car, got in, and buckled up.

"Ready?" he asked.

"Yeah."

For hours, the two were on the road to the small chapel were they were to be married. They arrived at the chapel and looked at each other. They could tell that the other one was scared. They got out and met each other in the front of the car. Bradin took her hand and they walked into the chapel.

"Are you Bradin and Kaitlin?" a priest asked walking up to them.

"Yes," they said.

"Are you two ready and absolutely sure about this?" he asked.

The two looked at each other and back at the priest. "Yeah," Bradin said.

"Young lady?" he asked.

She bit her lip and nodded.
