"Kimberly May Young! How in the world could you marry him?!" His shouting hadn't stopped for atleast and hour now. I and Alec had explained many times that we loved, and trusted each other enough to get married. Thank the heavens for my mom, who was always on my side, and always able to persuade my dad.
   "Sid, would you calm down? We were the same way, only older," she reassured him. I was crying,and in my mother's arms. She was gently stroking my hair, and I was looking at my dad with the eyes I always look at him when I wanted something. This time I could tell it wasn't working.
   "But Alana! He is a runaway orphan! I will NOT let my daughter marry a runaway! I want the best for my daughter, and this is NOT the best!" I wriggled out of my mother's arms, and went up to my father.
   "I am 17 years old, and have the right to marry who I want." I though about it for a while. "Okay, maybe I don't, but I love him, and want to spend the rest of my life with him! You out of all people should understand that. Mom and you eloped, so it is only fair that I get to marry my love too!" I always dropped the 'I should able to to!' bomb, and it worked. He looked at me for a minute. I hug attacked him
   "Alright, but if he hurts you in any way, ANY WAY AT ALL, you tell me, and I will take him down." his voice cracked at the end, and I broke down again. I felt a tear hit the top of my head, and my mother's sob, but knew it was of happiness. Just then there was a knock on the door.
