One day Frank drove over and asked Audrey if she would marry
him. He told her that they could run away, the two of them and
be happy together. Audrey and Frank agreed that later on that week they would run away. Audrey had the better car so she was suppose to go pick Frank up on Friday. First they’d go stay with a friend of his until they got jobs and had enough money to start a new life in a new state. Audrey was very scared but she wanted to support Frank all that she could. That week she slowly start to fill her car up with stuff that she felt she needed to take with her when the family was asleep so that no one would know. Soon enough, Friday came around sooner then she had expected. It was around 4 o’clock that Audrey showed up at my house.
I gave her a hug as tears started to run from my eyes. It was about 8:30pm when I got a call from Frank asking if I had seen or talked to Audrey. I told him that it was around 5 something that I last saw her and she said that she was on her way to pick him up. Apparently she never got there. Frank figured that her parents probably found out what they had planned and wouldn’t let her leave or talk to him. He got into his car and started to race off to her house. As if things weren’t bad enough for him already, there was a car accident to slow him down even more along the way. The only thing that was in his mind was to get to town and take Audrey in his in arms and confront her parents that he wants to marry her and he’ll care of her. Do what ever possible to give her everything that she has ever dreamed and be the one to make her happy for the rest of her life. Frank got to the front of her house and sat there wondering how he was suppose to put into words all that he wanted to say. All he knew was that as long as he had Audrey he would be happy.
He finally found the courage to walk up the to house and rang
the door bell.
