Um... I got a little tired of the computer earlier, but now I'm ready to write chapter three...
Chapter 3: Where Are You?
Simon sat alone in his room after school. Happy sat next to him on the bed and laid her head on his lap. A tear fell from his eyes and landed on Happy's fur. "Oh, Hap, what have I done? What did I do to deserve to lose her?" Simon asked. Happy just looked up at him with sad eyes.
Just then, Simon's cell phone rang. Unknown Caller, was all it said. He answered it anyway, hope filling his empty heart. "Hello?" he said into the phone.
"Simon?" Her sweet voice rang in his ears. He could tell that she had been crying.
"Cecilia? Where are you?"
"I'm in Phoenix. My dad won't let me call you, so I'm at a hotel. I need you. I don't feel good and I just want you to hold me. I miss you, Simon. Please come get me. Please."
"I'm on my way, Cec. I'll be there tomorrow morning."
As soon as Simon hung up the phone, he gathered a few things in his backpack and grabbed his wallet and his phone. He went downstairs and ran out the door before anyone noticed. He would call them from wherever he and Cecilia decided to live.
He walked to the Promenade and found his friend Pete, the owner of Pete's Pizza. He explained everything, and Pete offered him a ride to the LAX airport in Los Angeles.
After a three and a half hour wait, Simon was on a jet to Phoenix. Excluding the five hour delay in Las Vegas, the ride was uneventful. He sat by the window and looked out at the now dark sky that promised his one-way ticket to Phoenix. He arrived in Phoenix at 5:30am.
Soon, he had located the hotel Cecilia had given him the address for. He went in and saw his girlfriend laying sound asleep on a couch in the lobby. He went over and kissed her on the cheek. Her eyes fluttered open.
"Simon?" she asked.
"It's okay, I'm here, Cecilia. I'm here to stay this time."

Two weeks later, they were settled in with the Colonel and Ruth in Buffalo, New York. Simon called home and explained everything, that they needed to get away from it all and have their baby in a place where no one knew them.
Life went on pretty well in New York for them. No one questioned them, not even when she started showing. The Colonel and Ruth took care of them and supported every decision they made.
Simon and Cecilia hardly ever argued and everything was pretty much the same as before, except that her morning sickness wore off and she began to have strange cravings. By this time, she was four months pregnant and needed Simon there for her every moment. He was there for her, and they truly loved each other. One day, Simon decided that it was time to pop the question...
Okay, there is chapter three! Please R&R! Thank you!
