Wishing, wanting yours for the taking
Just sneak out and don't tell a soul goodbye
Weeks passed since your walk with Ivan and you were grounded to your room for a whole month. You had come home from a date with Ivan one night and when you had reached your house it was two in the morning. As you slipped through the front door the lights turned on and you were faced with a very, very angry Yao. He had yelled at you for going out so late without letting him know, and yelled at you even more when he found out that you were with Ivan yet again. As much as you loved Ivan, you knew that your step-father disapproved of him being near you at all and you knew that he strongly disliked the man. You sighed remembering that Ivan and your father were not on good terms with one another and you wondered what could be done to get both men to approve of each other. Sadly, you were at your limit and couldn't contain your frustration any longer. You had to escape.
Just then there was a knock on your door silencing your thoughts.
"Come in." You say aloud. The door opened and your elder sister Mei peeked in shyly. "Mei." You smile as Mei made her way over to your desk and sat on the chair.
"How are you doing [Name]?" asks Mei. You fold your arms across your chest and think for a moment before answering with a simple nod. Mei sighs and moves so that she is sitting beside you on your bed. She gives your thigh a light pat. "[Name], you know that father only wants what's best for you right?" You groan, not in the mood for a lecture from your elder sister. Mei sighs, "I really mean it [Name]. I don't want to lecture you either." Mei notices that you were ignoring her completely and makes her way to your laptop. You sneak a glance at Mei and you wonder what she could be doing on your laptop. "Come here." Says Mei; pointing a finger at the monitor before her.
You make your way over to Mei and you look at the screen from over her shoulder; the laptop was open to your e-mail. You made a mental note to yourself to change your password as soon as you realized that Mei must have hacked onto your account. You blink when you notice that you had a new message. "Take a look." Mei clicks onto the subject title and the full message opens up. You couldn't suppress a smile when you read the message:
'I'm sorry about what happened with your father. Next time I won't be so reckless. I know that we won't be able to take walks and be together since you are grounded but I'll figure something out.
Until then, I'll wait for you my Sunflower. Love Ivan'
Mei sighs as she watches your face transform from being grouchy to a more delicate expression as you swoon over the sweetness of the message. Your thoughts ran in your head as you tried to figure out a plan to be with your beloved Ivan once more, but you shake your head at the thought of being rebellious against Yao. After all you were the slightly obedient child. Mei gives you a pat on the back as she turns to leave your room. "[Name]," she says. You look at her, giving her your fullest attention. "Whatever you decide to do, I'm sure you'll make the right choice." Mei then closes your door quietly, leaving you with your thoughts. As soon as you realized that you loved Ivan more than anything else in the world, you sat at your desk and sent Ivan a message about your plan. Once everyone was asleep, you were going to run away with him; throwing away all thoughts of obedience to the one man that kept you away from your beloved.
And check, yes, Juliet, here's the countdown
3, 2, 1, you'll fall in my arms now
They can change the locks
Don't let them change your mind
You cursed. It was past three in the morning and you were in the mood for a drink but unfortunately Yao had locked your bedroom door in hopes that you wouldn't sneak out while you were grounded. There goes my thirst for a drink, and my plan of escaping. You thought. You sat at your desk and wondered what you were going to do about your plan. Ivan was going to be at your house any minute now, you had already gotten dressed, packed some of your valuable items in your backpack, and you wrote a letter to your family regarding the issue with Ivan. You texted Ivan hoping that he might have some idea as to how you can escape. Fortunately that backup plan was soon revealed through rocks bouncing off your window pane.
You rushed to your window and quietly opened it. "Ivan!" You whispered. Ivan looked up at you from underneath your window and smiled,
"Hello Sunflower, are you coming down?" You stared at him, wondering if he had ever gotten the message. All of a sudden he spreads out his arms, "Jump. You can jump da?" he asks. You hesitate, you were on the second floor but regardless you were still worried. At that instant you were scared of what Yao would think, but those thoughts were dismissed when you heard Ivan's voice in your ears. "Trust me Sunflower." With that, you jumped into Ivan's arms. Holding you tightly Ivan planted a soft kiss on your lips, "I knew you could do it." He says quietly. Ivan lets you go and holds your hand, pulling you away from your home. In curiosity, you look back and then a thought came into your mind. Sure it was nice that you had the freedom to be with Ivan, but was running away enough? Or was there something else that needed to be resolved?
Lace up your shoes
Here's how we do
Run, baby, run, don't ever look back
They'll tear us apart
If you give them the chance
Yao watched from his window as you and Ivan ran across the back garden and away from the house. He sighed; he knew that you were bound to run off one way or another. You were like your aunt; his wife, so much so that your parents asked him to look after you. He knew that you would go off with Ivan one day, just like how his wife had run off with another man. He glanced at the family photo of his current family. The photo was taken shortly after he had adopted you and since then he had grown to love you like his own daughter. He disliked Ivan for he thought that he was going to take you away from him. You were different than Mei, and he worried more about you, for Mei was nothing like her rebellious mother. "Aiyah." Muttered Yao, "It's that night all over again, the night that I saw her run." Yao took some tissue and hastily dabbed his eyes refusing to cry over an old memory. He had loved his wife so much that he thought that they were meant for each other, that they were going to be together forever, but he had lost her. Now he thought that he was going to lose his daughter the same way.
Don't sell your heart
Don't say we're not meant to be
Run, baby, run, forever will be you and me
