Lizzie POV-

"So what's your plan?" I ask as both my sisters sit across from me on my bed.

"It's not the best plan ever and I hate that it has to come to this but... I think we should call the police," MK tells me reaching out to grab my hand.

"It's not like we want our dad to get in trouble with the police but right now it seems like our only option because we all know he won't just let you out," explains Ashley.

"You're right. He's not going to let me out. Should we call them now then? And what do we say? I don't want him to have to go to jail. Even though I'm extremely mad at him and won't talk to him for a long time, I still don't want him to go to jail. Well, maybe a little." I say truthfully.

They both laugh before the room goes silent as we come to realization about what we are about to do. We stare at each other for a few seconds before I reach over and grab my phone.

I dial 911 and explain the situation to the woman on the phone as my sisters hold my empty hand. She tells me that he won't be arrested and they can send a few officers over to make him let me go. After I am gone they will talk to him and warn/threaten him about his behaviour if he decides to pull something like that again.

I think this is the best way it could work out considering the circumstances. Honestly, I don't care what happens as long as I am back in y/n's arms and am headed back home soon. This is definitely a Christmas visit to remember.

As I hang up the phone I pack all of my things so that when the policeman get here I am ready to leave.

Y/n POV-

As I grab my things, I get ready for my plan to get Lizzie back. I'm honestly not sure if it will work but it's the only thing I could think of.

I walk out the door gaining the courage I need just in case I have to face her dad again. Honestly, I don't think I even can. I hate when people judge you on something before they even think about your side or other perspectives. The people that think there is a right and wrong and no in-between really bug me.

As I think about the things he is doing to Lizzie while sitting in the back seat of the taxi I start to get angry. She doesn't deserve anything that is happening to her, especially not from her own family.

As I arrive about a block away I get out of the car and can feel my heartbeat getting faster with every step I take towards her house. I'm just worried about what is going to happen since I have barely any control here.

As I arrive on her front lawn my head starts to sweat more and more as I walk through the side gate. I approach their shed I slide the door open and pull out the foldable ladder from the side. I drag it to the window and stick it in place so that it won't move.

Like last time, to get her attention I throw a small rock at the window hitting it directly in the centre. I wait a few seconds and nothing. I pick up another one and throw it a bit harder to make a louder sound. Again nothing.

I start to get anxious and realized that maybe this wasn't the best plan. As I stand straight at the base of the ladder, I stare into her window with tears slowly running down my cheeks. What if I never get to see her again? What if she doesn't want to see me again?

The more I bring these thoughts into my head, the more tears start to fall. I run my fingers through my hair and take a deep breath trying to figure out what to do now.

This was the only plan I had because all I could think about was getting Lizzie back. This is the best I could come up with and I failed! I failed her! How am I supposed to protect her when I can't even save her from her own house?! I just don't know what to do now...

"Hey, beautiful. What's a pretty girl like you doing around here?" I hear a voice say and I snap my head around to see Lizzie standing behind me with a big smirk on her face.

"LIZZIE!" I shout and run towards her wrapping my arms around her tight, lifting her in the air.

As I put her down I kiss her excitedly smiling into her lips before pulling away.

"How did you?! When did you?! Where is?!" I spit out having so many questions for her all at once.

"Y/n, you can slow down now. I'm okay now. We don't have to worry," she tells me and I take a deep breath before smiling at her. I didn't realize I could miss someone this much in such a short period of time.

"You're right, I'm sorry."

"We called the police on my dad and told them what happened so they took him down to the station for a few hours so that I can leave freely and say goodbye to the rest of my family. He's not going to jail but he is at the station for a bit. To answer your other questions, I called Scarlett and she told me your whole plan which was a real dumb one but I appreciate your efforts," she tells me and I cover my face embarrassed.

"It's okay! I know how hard it would be to come up with something that fasts especially when you didn't want anyone to get hurt. Thank you for trying to save me though," Lizzie says cupping my face. She kisses me on the cheek making me blush as she pulls away.

"Anyway, she told me that you would be here so I decided to surprise you and sneak up behind you. I was going to let you make a heroic save and climb out of my window but I decided staying on the ground was a better option," she jokes making me and herself laugh. Boy, I missed her laugh.

"I don't care how you did it, I'm just glad you are okay. Do you still want to come home with me?" I ask nervously, running the back of my neck.

"Y/n of course I do. I promise you that nothing my father said is true! The only thing that has changed is how much I love you. Being separated like this for even a day was more than I can handle and I felt like a piece of me was ripped away. I never want to have to feel like that again. I love you even more than I did before all of this if that is even possible. I now know more than ever that we are meant to be together for the rest of our lives. I know that sounds cheesy but it's true. I love you so much and can't wait to go back home, together."

Tears start to slide down my face as I listen to Lizzie speak. She gently wipes her thumbs across my face clearing my tears before smiling to let me know it's all okay.

"Let's go home," she says, guiding me to the front of the house. Once we get there I spot a car parked along the curb of the road waiting for something.

"Is that for us?" I ask and she nods. I start walking in the direction before turning back when I notice Lizzie is not by my side before. I observe as she hugs her sisters while her mother watches at the door. Completely ignoring her, Lizzie walks over to me after saying goodbye to her sisters and hooks her arm onto mine.

I wave a quick goodbye before opening the car door, allowing Lizzie to go in first and then me. I place my hand on her thigh as Lizzie rests her head on my shoulder. I'm glad this is all over and we can go home.

Third Person POV-

As the drama comes to an end. y/n and Lizzie are hopeful for the future and have found a look on their relationship. Little do they know, it won't be smooth sailing from here on out like they think...
