Sonny's plan to get her and Johnny out didn't work that weekend or the next weekend or the next one. It was like her father knew that she was going to escape so he posted guards everywhere. It had been three months since the night of the basketball game and Claudia's time was dwindling down to nothing. Sonny had been practically non-existent in her life, because her father had put a guard on her. She knew anything that guard saw was told to her father and she wouldn't lose Sonny. No, she couldn't lose Sonny.

That day she decided to go look on her father's calendar, even though she knew that if she was caught it meant a heavy beating. It wasn't like she already didn't have that, though, so she figured why not. Friday or tomorrow to her was circled with a big red pen on the calendar. That could only mean one thing: one more day. One more day to spend seeing Johnny smile or hearing him laugh. One more day of being with Sonny, promising him that he didn't fail her. That he couldn't control what happened in this hell she called a home. She knew he would blame himself and that was the only problem. She knew Johnny would be defenseless to his own father. And even though Claudia thought Anthony would never hurt Johnny she couldn't be sure. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Anthony and Trevor coming toward the office. She opened the window quietly and jumped out, making sure they didn't hear her.

Meet me at our bench as soon as u can. //C.Z 3's S.C\\

Claudia texted Sonny. Their bench was right where the bars were broken so he could get into this prison, get to her. She went up to her room and jumped out of the window. Her father or Trevor would've stopped her if she had gone out the front door. She couldn't be stopped, not now. She felt her face become wet with tears, how was that possible? Claudia Zacchara didn't cry. Actually no Zacchara's ever cried, because that would be an emotion and emotions made people weak.

Wut's wrng??? //S.C 3's C.Z\\

Claudia didn't want to tell him over a text message, that just wouldn't be right. She wouldn't be able to fully comfort or help him if she told him that way. She didn't want to have to tell him at all, but that wouldn't be right either. She just wouldn't show up at school and he would worry. Then he would text her and call her that night and when she wouldn't answer he could sneak into the house. Putting himself in even more danger. She couldn't let him do that. The same protectiveness he held for her is the same protectiveness she held for him.

Just cme asap. Plz. //C.Z 3's S.C\\

Almst there. Lv u. //S.C 3's S.C\\

Just as she received that message she heard the bars moving and Sonny walking towards her. She tried to feign a smile, but he saw right through it. He sat next to her and they faced each other. Claudia avoided his eyes, looking toward the ground.

"What's-"

"Tomorrow." She said bluntly, he had no clue what she meant.

"Tomorrow's our last day of school. Your last day of freshman year. Why do you look so sad?" He questioned as she finally looked straight into his eyes. His vision blurred in realization. "No I won't let that happen. Go get your and Johnny's stuff, we're leaving this town, now." He said with urgency.

"Sonny, he'll find me. It doesn't work like you want it to. I love you." He kissed her lips softly.

"I love you too. I'm so sorry I failed you." She grabbed his chin and forced him to look at her.

"You didn't fail me, Sonny. Without you I wouldn't have made it as far as I did, you loved me and if I die tomorrow I will have known true love."

"When's your birthday?" She started to giggle a bit. He looked at her like she was crazy. "Why are you laughing?"

"No reason it was just so random. My birthday is in November. November 16th." She told him.

"So you'll be sixteen in five months?"

"I would be." She stroked the side of his face. "I don't blame you for any of this and please don't blame yourself, but when I'm not he……..here anymore you have to get Johnny and run. But never come back to this house if you can't get Johnny out it's too dangerous." She told him as he wrapped his arms around her, making her feel loved once again.

"I'll save Johnny, if it's the last thing I do. I'll do it for you." He kissed her temple.

"I don't want to have to spend my last day of life at school, it totally sucks." His breath tickled her ear as she felt another kiss planted on her cheek. His grasp around her tightened.

"That's my girl. How 'bout this: we skip school and do anything you want. We can even bring Johnny with us. Anything you two want, I'll do whatever I can to give it to you."

"That sounds perfect. I love that idea-" She stopped at the sound of a person approaching. Both of them stood up and Sonny drew his gun, unlocking the safety. The guard already had the gun drawn, putting Claudia in between two aimed guns. "Alright, Mr. Giovanni put the gun down. He's allowed to be here, you can go ask daddy."

"Ms. Zacchara, I will not put down the gun if anything I'll move you and shot this boy." The guard told her. She rushed at the guard, knocking the gun from his hand into her hand. She undid the safety and pointed it at him.

"Now you can either have me shoot you or you can go ask my father if he's allowed to be here or not." Claudia said. The guard put his hands up in defense, before going toward the house. Claudia put the gun in her belt, before turning to Sonny.

"What? Why? Why did you do that? He could've hurt you." Sonny was extremely flustered.

"To give you time to run. My father and a few guards will be out here soon. You need to go. Actually you need to run. I love you. I'll text you later." He kissed her forehead, lovingly.

"Love you. I'll be waiting by my phone." He ran to the break in the fence and was soon out of sight. Claudia sat on the bench and listened as her father came up behind her.

"Claudia! What's this talk of a boy being with you?!"

"I have no clue what you're talking about daddy. None of the boys in my class give me the time of day, so no boy was here." She put on her most innocent face. He grabbed her by her hair and pulled her all the way to the house.

"We're going to the basement and you'll tell me about your little friend." She looked at him with defiance, shaking her head.

"Never." She whispered before he dragged her downstairs.

She walked slowly upstairs. The little burn marks over her body hurting her as she moved. She hadn't said a word, she would never give Sonny up, she would die before that. Instead of texting Sonny she decided to Yahoo Message him. It was easier anyways.

She tiptoed out of her room and into Johnny's. He was sound asleep with his little teddy bear wrapped in his arms. She couldn't help but feel the few tears that came to her eyes. Not from the pain of the burns on her back, but because tomorrow would be the last day she would be with her brother. His smile, his hugs, his everything would be gone to her. She shook the thought, before going and kissing his head. Then she ran back to her room. She was asleep the second her head hit the pillow.

Dream((Claudia's POV))

I feel his arms around me as I watch a much older Johnny play. What the heck is this? He nibbles on my ear, with intensity, making me moan a little. His hands move down a bit, to my stomach. It bigger. I'm pregnant!

"You alright?" He whispers in my ear. I nod slowly, keeping my eyes on Johnny. "He's been here awhile. Maybe we should go home?"

"Nah, let him be, he's having a good time." I rub my hands over my stomach. This is so odd. Sonny's hand is glued there.

"Claudia, I love you and our son so much." I light up when he says son. My son, our son.

"I love you both, too." I told him, reaching my head up to kiss his cheek.

He couldn't sleep, he tossed and turned, that was it. He got up and he paced the apartment. He felt everything falling down around him. He didn't protect Claudia like he said he was going to and now he had failed her. He sat in the chair and laid his head back, falling asleep in the process.

((Sonny's POV))

I'm wrapping my arms around her, her stomach is bigger than it normally is. She's pregnant! We're in a park watching Johnny playing. We're both smiling and I feel so happy.

"You okay?" I ask her, as she nods. "We've been here awhile. Maybe we should go home?" Home we have a home together? We have a child together? A life? When did this happen? I love this feeling though.

"Nah, let him be, he's having a great time." She rubs her hands over her belly. "Sonny I love you and our son so much." I bend my head down and kiss her cheek.

"I love you both, too."
