A tragic tale of romance part 2:

Part 2 of Johnny and Kitty's love story, showing us what exactly went down when Kitty's parents found out about Johnny and her decision to run away with him.


March of 1960

New York

It was a beautiful spring evening in New York City. The streetlights were out and many young lovers were enjoying the beautiful evening together. Including a pair of young teens in love who had just finished having dinner and wear nearing the end of their date.

"For you, Kitten…"Johnny said as he plucked a nearby flower and presented it to his love.

"Oh Johnny, it's beautiful…"Kitty said happily before giving him a kiss.

"Not as beautiful as you…"He said smoothly, earning a blush from his girlfriend in the process.

"Oh Johnny, always the one with the silver tongue…"Kitty said with a grin.

"Speaking of which…"He hinted and soon the two began making out, enjoying the privacy of being alone, away from a world that didn't understand their love.

It's been six months since they have become a couple, since that day the faced off against Ricky and his goons and the girl accepting her feelings for him. However, they kept their relationship a secret at home and at school, only because of Kitty's father threat if he were to ever find out about them. Kitty hated him for forbidding her from being around the one she loved but she only had to live with her father until she graduated High School. After that she could leave home and finally be with Johnny and her father wouldn't be able to do anything about it. She and Johnny wouldn't have to sneak out anymore. That was their plan and she was counting off the days from her calendar for it. But until then, she had to keep up acting like she wasn't hiding such a passionate secret.

"Johnny, you know I love this, but I have to be home before curfew…"Kitty reminded while Johnny kept kissing her arm, something she loved so much.

"We got time Kitten…"He said as he gently kissed her on the neck.

"I mean it, don't forget that I gotta change back into my regular clothes and walk the two blocks so no one would suspect anything…' She reminded him.

"Real shame though, you look so nice like this…"He said as he checked her out.

After they started dating, Kitty chose to dress up in her own version of a biker chic outfit, both as a disguise and because she felt a great sense of liberation from dressing like this. Her outfit includes a white cropped tank top, a blue jacket and skirt, fishnet stockings, white high-heeled boots, along with a include a green pendant, a purple scarf, and her cherished class ring that marked her as Johnny's girl.

She liked this look so much more than that lame "Good Girl" image she was force to hold for the majority of her life, acting like something she was not just to please her stupid parents and stay out of trouble. Not with Johnny, she didn't have to pretend to be something she was not, he knew her true nature and he loved her just the same. She could always be herself with him, that was another of the hundreds of reasons that she came to love him so.

'Come on baby, your curfew is in half an hour and I can take you there in less than five on my bike…"He said as he started caressing her, wanting to be closer.

She couldn't. She had to get home quick and she didn't want to risk anything.

"Maybe next time, right now I gotta get going…" She insisted and saw the reluctant look on his face.

"Alright, alright…Hop on…"He said as he gave her a helmet and the two rode off to the nearest public restroom where Kitty immediately "transformed" back into "Katrina Phillips", the obedient daughter that always played by the rules.

"I'm getting tired of doing this after every date…"Johnny said.

"I know but unless we want anyone to catch us before graduating, we have to do this…"Kitty explain for like the millionth time.

"You know if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have any problems with dropping out…and I really don't have a problem with just leaving and taking you with me…"Johnny said with a shrug.

"You know why we can't do that…Johnny, we need to graduate and as soon as that happens, we won't have to hide anymore and I can leave home and move in with you…"Kitty said to her man

"I know…I hear ya…And I can't wait for the day when I can finally tell the world that you're my girl and no one is going to change that…"He said as he kissed her on the cheek.

The two soon shared another brief kiss before heading their separate ways. Kitty went to the direction of the Phillip residence and Johnny stayed until she was finally out of his sight. He then started up his bike again and headed back to the dump he was forced to call home.


The Baldwin residence

The blonde biker opened the door to a small, dingy little apartment that could hardly qualify for a home. It had a worn out old couch, empty beer cans all over the floor and a small, static-y TV that barely worked. It sucked but this is where he lived, with someone who wasn't here as well.

"Mom…Ya here?...'The blonde called but got no response.

He knew that she was probably out drinking with her friends or husband-hunting again. His mother was basically a drunken mess, she's been that way for as long as he could remember. She usually just stayed home, moping and drinking or she would be out with some creep that had no intentions beyond a night of fun. He stopped caring about that a long time ago, after he finally accepted that she wasn't going to change.

"One day, I'll be out of this dump and I'll be something big…'He sighed as he threw himself on his bed.

His life was a pretty sad story in general, it was unlucky but wouldn't cry over it. When he was five years old, his father was sentence to jail for something he still didn't know about but his mom would always tell him that they were better off without him. Though, he wondered how much worse they could be than a crummy apartment and a mother who could barely take care of herself, let alone her boy who had to learn to fight to survive.

At age 13, he started doing stuff like smoking and drinking, mostly to get his mom's attention though she barely seemed to care. Then he got into fights…a lot of them…He hated his life and often just wanted to just hop on his bike and keep riding and riding until he found some place better. He still wanted to do that at times but there was one thing keeping him here in this lousy place.

Kitty.

"Kitten…"He muttered as he pulled out his picture of her, she had given him it to him not long after she accepted their love.

She was so beautiful and wonderful in every way. He might have had an unlucky life, given his nickname but he was willing to say that meeting Kitty and her becoming his girlfriend was the best thing that ever happened to him. The moment she kissed him on that hospital bed six months ago made him feel like he was the luckiest guy in the whole wide world. He knew that he loved her and he was pretty sure that nothing would change that.

"My girl…"He sighed as he placed the precious picture down.

He used to play the field, had a little fun but not with Kitty. She was special and he knew that they were meant to be. He couldn't wait until she graduated and that they could stop hiding their love. One day, they will be together forever and no one, not Kitty's lousy father or his pathetic mother could ruin that for them.

He would make sure of it.


At the Phillip's residence

Kitty A.K.A Katrina Phillips smirked as she glanced at her watch. It was 9:45 PM, she managed to arrive home with 15 minutes to spare. She entered her large, two-story home and saw her father watching TV on the couch nearby.

"Hello there Katrina, how was your day?...'Her father James said, his eyes not leaving the screen.

"Pretty good daddy…"She said innocently, her thoughts on Johnny's touches and kisses and how they made her feel, though her father did not know that.

"So what did you do again?..."He asked her.

"I had to do some research at the library for my science report…'She lied convincingly, having done a lot of practicing these past few months.

"That's the third time this week…"He said, as if looking for a lie.

"Yes, well I have a lot to do, this paper on Charles Darwin is important, it's due in two days…'She said easily.

"Well, you best get on with it…"He said before turning his attention back to the television.

Kitty resisted the urge to roll her eyes, having gotten long fed up with him and his attitude with her. Her father always seems to expect nothing short of obedience and perfect grades from her, like she didn't have a life or will of her own.

It made her guilt about Johnny and her plans of leaving this place lessen more or more.

"I don't care anymore, as soon as I graduate…I'm out of here…"She said as she went to her room to do.

She wasn't lying about the school work, she did have a paper on Charles Darwin that was due this week. She had it done days ago, as soon as the assignment was announced just so she could get it out of the way and spend time with Johnny. Whenever she would spend time with Johnny, she would lie and tell her parents that she was doing something homework related and they would let it go.

Unknown to the young girl, James glanced at her with a frown as she went up the stairs to her room. He had been a sergeant in the military for over 25 years before he retired and he could always sense rebellion from a mile away.

"That girl is hiding something…"He thought in suspicion but would remain quiet.

This was the third time this week his daughter would be out until arriving home just a few moments before curfew. She always said that she was either out with a friend or doing school work but he sensed that something was amiss.

He was no fool, he could smell a lie from a mile away.

His foolish daughter thought she was being clever and sneaky but he was an experience veteran and he could sense even the slightest form of insubordination amongst the troops. He was furious of that thought that the girl would disobey a direct order but he needed to be sure before he would confront her.

"I'm gonna keep a close eye on her…"He thought as he was no longer focused on his program. If his daughter was becoming disobedient, he would find out about it one way or the other and then he would set her straight, make her think twice about violating his orders.

It was the burdens of fatherhood.


A few days later

Saturday

Kitty had got up and dressed up in her "good girl" clothes but kept her back-up clothes tucked neatly in her purse. Today Johnny and her were going to the carnival and she was really excited. It was already 9:15AM and she promised Johnny that she would meet him there at 9:30 sharp.

"Going somewhere Katrina?…"Her father James asked as he kept his eyes on the paper while her mother kept washing the dishes.

"Just going to go to the mall..."She said as she grabbed an apple.

"Alright, remember to be back before curfew..."Susan said as she turned to face her.

"I will..."She said before munching on the apple.

Kitty then walked out the door, eager to get to Johnny for their date. She quickly ran the two blocks and found a nearby restroom to change into her biker disguise. Once done, she happily walked to her destination. Unknown to her, a car was following her.

It was her father James Phillips, who had been suspicious of her behavior lately and was determined to,get to the bottom of it.

"What is she doing? What is she wearing?!..."He shouted in rage, appalled by the type of clothes his daughter was now wearing.

He continued to drive slowly and discreetly, to make sure that his foolish daughter didn't realize that he was following her. He saw her hop on a bus and he now was following it to wherever it was going. He didn't like the look of this and he was going to end it as soon as he caught up to her.


At the carnival

Kitty arrived at the carnival and immediately saw Johnny. The two kissed upon greeting and we're now walking hand in hand through the place, admiring the sight and games. They saw booth to knock down the milk bottles. Johnny played and managed to win her a stuffed, pink Kitten with a bow.

"A kitten for my Kitten..."Johnny said sweetly as he presented her the prize.

"Oh cute..."Kitty said giddy as she hugged the toy tightly.

The two then went to get some cotton candy, rode on the tunnel of love and we're now taking a break, with Kitty cuddling both Johnny and the toy cat that he won her.

"I'm having so much fun Johnny..."Kitty said as she held his hand.

"I am too, thought I know something that might make this even funner..."He hinted.

Kitty giggled and puckered her lips. The two were now kissing passionately, as much as two teens in love could. However the romantic moment was ruined when Kitty was violently ripped away from the boy she loved and now in the angry arms of a very angry father.

"KATRINA!..." James yelled, his face red in rage.

"Dad!..."Kitty screamed in horror.

"NO!..." He yelled in disbelief while the two teens were petrified.

Kitty was frozen in horror as she remained in her fathers iron grip, unable to believe that he caught her. How could he find her? She had been so careful...

"What is the meaning of this?!..."He demanded.

"Lighten up pops, we were just hanging out..."Johnny said with his arms crossed, only making James furious.

"I told you not to go near this hoodlum Katrina and yet you disobeyed a direct order..."James said furiously.

"Daddy, let me go..." Kitty said as she tried to pull away but no use.

"You are coming home right now!..."He yelled as he pulled her away. Johnny however got in his way, not liking how be was treating his girl.

"Calm down pops, she wasn't doing anything wrong, I asked her to come here..."Johnny said, not budging from his spot.

"I warned you not to cross me punk! and don't call me "Pops"! ..."James said with a cold glare.

"And what are you gonna do about it?..."Johnny said, not even blinking.

James growled before he flat out punched Johnny, knocking him to the ground. Despite being retiree, James could pack a punch, especially when he saw mad.

"Johnny!..."Kitty screamed in horror as she tried to get to him but her father kept pulling her, forced her in the car and drove home.

This could NOT be happening!


Back home

Kitty was now home, being yelled at by her parents, mostly her father who looked like his head was about to blow up. Her mother looked angry, but also disgusted as well.

"I can't believe this Katrina..."Susan said in a disappointed tone of voice.

"I never expected this from you Katrina, you disobeyed a direct order, lied to me, dressed up in these vile clothes and associated with that rotten boy, even after I told you not to .."James yelled at his teenage daughter.

"He's not rotten! You don't even know him!..."Kitty said furiously.

"Know him?! I don't have to know him to know that he's a troublemaking hoodlum that will never amount to anything. Boys like him are juvenile delinquents and he'll wind up behind bars as soon as he can be trialed as an adult!..."James spat, igniting his daughters ire.

"You're wrong! Johnny is not a bad guy, he's sweet and he's funny and charming, sure he can make mistakes but no one's perfect and he loves me!..." Kitty said seriously.

"He's trouble and you'll ruin your life if your so much in the same room as him-..."James shouted, his voice almost straining from such force.

"But daddy I love him!..."Kitty yelled, tired of his bad talking about her man.

Her father and other looked momentarily stunned by her outburst, only for her dad to look ready to kill.

"What did you just say?..."James said in a silent fury.

"You heard me!..."Kitty said, tired of him always trying to control her life.

"Young lady, you can't be serious...that boy has trouble written all over his face..."Susan said, refusing to accept this.

Her daughter was suppose to be with a nice, smart, honest boy with a bright future ahead of him and who would give her a decent future. She wasn't suppose to be ruining her entire life by being with that biker boy who would only lead her down a bad path. Look at what he had done to her already! Her beautiful, perfect, obedient daughter was now lying and breaking rules!

It was a disaster!

"If you guys took the time to get to know him-

"SILENCE!..." James practically roared, startling both his wife and his daughter by the sheer volume of it.

"Katrina Jane Phillips, as your father, I refuse to let you see that boy ever again..."James ordered, his voice loud and commanding.

"No!..."Kitty yelled with the utmost conviction, no longer intimidated by her father's threats.

SLAP

Kitty soon found herself on the ground, feeling a painful shining in her right cheek. She looked up to see her angry father with his beefy hand raise. She realized what happened but she was still stunned by it. She soon found herself being hosted up by her father who still looked peeved.

"Listen here little lady, I am your father and you will obey me and if I have to take the necessary measures to fix you, I will..."James said.

"What do you mean?..."She asked, not liking this at all.

"Since that boy has already begun to corrupt you, I have no choice here. ..I'm sending you to St. Mary's boarding school in London. Maybe being away from that influence will turn you back to normal..."James said.

"Boarding school?! London?! You can't be serious..."Kitty shouted.

"I am very serious young lady. If I gotta send you there to protect you from that boy, I will..."James said, and it was obvious that he was not going to change his mind.

"You guys can't do that! I'm a senior...I'm graduating high school in just a few months. .."Kitty tried to remind them but they remained the same.

"That's irrelevant, you have grown out of control and we are going to correct that now..."Her father said stubbornly.

"You guys can't do this...mom..."She turned to her mother, hoping that she wasn't on board with this insanity.

"We're doing this for your own good Katrina, one day you will thank us for it..."Susan said with her arms crossed.

Kitty felt tears fall from her eyes, not able to believe that this was happening. However her tears of sorrow soon became tears of rage.

"I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I WISH YOU WEREN'T MY PARENTS!..."The girl shouted at the top of her lungs before running to her room.

She slammed the door loudly, locked it and then ran straight to her bed, yelling, screaming and crying her eyes out at the unfairness of it all. All she wanted was to be with Johnny, he was her one true love but her parents were dead set against keeping them apart. Now they were going to send her to some prison for girls in London where she'll be forced to wear some lame uniform, be surrounded by a bunch of broken down girls, warden like teacher's and worse of all no Johnny there to comfort her.

"Damn...damn...damn...damn..."She kept screaming and she kept crying and screaming until exhaustion.

This just wasn't fair.


The next day

At school

Kitty was now in the arms of Johnny as they hid in the janitors closet, one of their hiding places where they could spend time during school hours. However, this time they were not making out or being anything close to playful. They were too sad to do so. Kitty had explained to her boyfriend the bad news and as she predicted, he was not taking it well.

"Damn it!..."Johnny shouted as he punched a wet-floor sigh, leaving a noticeable dent it.

"They can't do this, they can't take you away from Kitty!..."He shouted, despair evident in his voice. It made Kitty cry even harder.

"I'm so sorry Johnny... I wish that this was all just a bad dream..."She said sadly as she still refused to let him go.

"How long?..."He asked and she knew what he meant. He was asking how long would it be before they would be separated.

"I'm leaving this Friday...we only have a few days left together before..." She chocked up, unable to finished that horrible sentence.

Johnny let her go and immediately started pacing, a distressed look clear as day on his face.

"No...no..no...no...I won't let this happen...I love you Kitty, I can't live without you...you're the only thing in my life that I know is right!..."He exclaimed, trying hard not to cry at this point.

"I love you too Johnny. ...I hate my parents for doing this. ..Honestly, if I could just up and leave, I would..."She said, her anger and misery bubbling up inside her.

"That's it!..."Johnny said with a "eureka" moment.

"What?..."She asked.

"Let's leave...we can leave this place...together and never come back..."Johnny said with a hopeful,voice.

"What?!..."She exclaimed, unable to believe what he was suggesting.

"Johnny, do you understand what your saying?..."Kitty asked and he only nodded.

"Yeah, I do..."He said seriously.

Kitty couldn't believe this. While she loved Johnny and didn't want to leave him, the idea of running away together.

It was just so...so drastic.

"I don't know what to say..."She said hesitantly.

"Kitty, if there is any good in my life, it's you...My life sucked before you became a part of it...my dad is a jail-bird and my mom is a drunk...The only thing that's kept me from just leaving was you but now...I. ..I rather be dead than lose you..."He said as he held her hands, sincerity was pure in his eyes.

Kitty tried to think about it, she really had no qualms with leaving. She didn't want to go to that boarding school, she didn't want to leave Johnny and she despised her parents for trying to ruin her life. She thought about leaving with Johnny, to star anew in a place where they could just be happy together and no one would try and keep them apart ever again.

She loved the idea but...

"What about school? Are you suggesting we just drop out?...?" She asked him seriously.

We can go get our GED someplace else..."Johnny said confidently.

"What about money?..." She asked.

"I have a couple of hundreds saved up from some old part time jobs, we can use that until I get a job some place..."He said, no hesitation visible on his face.

"Where exactly would we go anyway?..."She asked him, needing to know.

"Anywhere...anywhere that will let us be together...I know a small town out of state that's only a few days away by my bike, we could hide there for a while..."He suggested.

Kitty couldn't believe that she was actually thinking this over. Never once in her life had she ever thought that she would consider running away or dropping out. It was dangerous, it was risky but she also knew that the alternative would be a losing Johnny for a few years...maybe forever. She looked into his blue eyes and saw that he was scared. It was the first time she has ever seen him scared...He was truly afraid of losing her. She tried to imagine a life without him and she knew that she wouldn't be able to stand such a thing. She rather die than lose the love of her life.

She knew what she had to do. She pulled him into a tender kiss and held him close to her. Once they separated, she looked into his blue eyes.

"I'm in..."She said before kissing him again.

"Great, so when do we leave?..."He asked after the kiss.

"Thursday, I'm leaving on Friday and I need time to prepare..." She said seriously.

"Okay, Thursday night it is..."He said before they continued kissing.

The two teens kissed like there was no tomorrow, holding each other close as they felt the world fade away. No matter what, they would be together and nothing will ever get in the way of their love.

They would make sure of it.


Thursday night

11: 45 PM

It was finally Thursday night, a quarter till midnight. Kitty spent the last few days packing her stuff and getting the necessary stuff like food, clothes, extra money, and all that. It was murder trying to pretend to be normal around her parents who kept reminding her that come tomorrow, she will be in London and how soon she would be "cured" of all her insubordination.

That was never going to happen, she was out of here.

The young girl remained quiet as a mouse, her parents were fast asleep right now, the lights were out in her room and with the use of a small flashlight, she was making the final preparations.

"Let's see, clothes, money, map, tooth brush…" She checked in her large handbag. She had to carry light and only pack the essentials. It was going to be a long trip but they had to be careful.

"I guess that's everything …'She sighed, a small part of her was tempted to go to her parents room to see them one last time before leaving, but a large, angry part of her wouldn't do that.

She wasn't going to feel bad about this, they wouldn't have that much from her. They didn't deserve it. She waited for them to wise up but they didn't and now they had to face the facts that she was leaving and she would never come back to this prison.

"It's almost midnight…"She said as she checked her small watch.

Any moment now Johnny would come and then they would finally be free and be together forever. She hadn't lied to Johnny, she really did need time to stock up on some supplies if they were going to pull this off. However, the real reason why she asked to leave on the night before Friday was because she wanted to give her parents one last chance. She wanted to give them a chance to see that what they were doing was wrong. She wanted to give her dad a chance to realize that he was wrong to do this to her, that he was wrong to hit her and that he was wrong to try and keep her away from her one true love. She wanted to give her mother a chance to get her big nose down for a second and see that what they were doing was destroying her. She wanted to give her a chance to try and talk some sense in her father and to not send her to St. Mary's.

She wanted to give them a chance so that she wouldn't have to do this. So that she wouldn't have to run away and never see them again.

She gave them that chance.

They didn't take it.

Now there was no turning back now. She glanced out her bedroom window and saw Johnny arrive on his motorcycle. Right on time. She quickly opened her window, grabbed her stuff and let down the long rope she stole from her dad's tool shed. In less than five minutes, she was out of her room, ran out to her front yard and was now with her boyfriend.

"Am I glad to see you…" Kitty said to her boyfriend.

"Your folks suspected anything?..." He whispered to her.

"Nope, their sleeping like the dead and as soon as they wake up, we'll already be long gone from this dump…"She said with a grin.

"That's the plan, put this on…"He said as he gave her a helmet.

Kitty put her helmet on but cast one last look to her old home. She knew that this would be the last time she would ever see it or her parents ever again. She didn't mind, she didn't want to see them ever again anyway. She had Johnny now and that was all she needed to be happy. Kitty carefully placed her supplies on her arm and wrapped her arms around Johnny as they rode off to freedom.

"I still can't believe we're doing this…"Kitty said to him as they kept riding.

"Believe it Kitten, it's just gonna be you, me, my bike and the open road for now on…"Johnny said as he continued riding.

Kitty saw that they now passed the town sigh that said "Now Leaving New York City". She smiled as she felt such a liberation, as if the binds of her old life were finally gone. True, there would be somethings that she would miss about New York but she had no regrets. She and Johnny were free now, they would always be together and nothing would ever get in the way of their love ever again.

"Hello new life…My name is Kitty…"She said happily as she let out a laugh, feeling so wild and free.

"And mine is Johnny's…"He laughed as he continued to drive his motorcycle.

Kitty didn't know where she and Johnny would end up now. She didn't know how they will be able to build up this new life but what she did now was that it will be worth it. As long as she and Johnny were together, she didn't care where they ended up. This was the start of their new life and she knew that no matter what, she and Johnny would be together for the rest of their lives and no one would get in the way of that.

Together forever.

That was their fate.

A/N(1): The rest of their story is bittersweet but in the end, they are together eternally.


A/N(2): We only have one scene left and I had it reserved for a certain former spirit of love.


REPLIES to my loyal and totally awesome reviewers:

Wiseguy2415: That's teenage love.

Invader Johnny: You got that right.

Feurrige: Sadly, a lot of people are like that, even the ones that are supposed to be closest to us.

Guest: As you said, if there was even a slightest chance, it was destroyed and it created the tragic romance of Johnny and Kitty. At least they are together now but such a price to pay.
