coat off the hook and looked to Cecile.
    “I’ll be back later.” She huffed.
    “Ok.”
    Elizabeth grabbed Jordan’s arm and dragged him out the door.
    “Where would you like to go then?” Jordan looked to her.
    “You decide.” She sighed.
    She led him towards an opening of an abandoned overgrown field. Elizabeth pushed open the rotting gate whilst Jordan shrugged away s piece of nettle that had attached itself to his jeans.
    “So where are you taking me?” Jordan said looking around to the seemingly never ending fields. Elizabeth stopped and lied down.
    “Here.” She said quietly and closed her eyes.
    “Are you serious?” She did not reply. He nodded his head and laid himself next to her. He felt the cold air sweep at his hair. He listened to Elizabeth’s breathing and felt sleepy.
    They stared up to the stars. It looked so perfect, like small diamonds on a rich black canvass. The moon was full, and there was not a cloud in sight. He felt perfect with Elizabeth next to him and felt happier than he had ever felt. 
    “Are you ok anyway?” He said quietly. She turned her head to his.
    “Yeah, are you?” He knew this was a lie. She looked so anxious lately.
    “I am very happy.” He smiled at her and placed his hand on hers.  She shot him an anxious smile.
    “Do you want to go somewhere else?” She got up and pulled Jordan up with her.
    “Ok.” They walked out of the field and back onto the road.  They reached the shop near town.
    “Wait here.” Elizabeth said as she skipped off into the shop. Jordan stood there uncomfortably and fiddled with the strings on his jacket. . She walked out and shook a bottle of vodka naughtily at Jordan.
    “Fancy a drink?” She smirked.
    They took in turns to drink the foul tasting liquid. Jordan had no idea why Elizabeth liked it, but he drank it anyway.
    He could feel his worries slipping away with every gulp. They had not walked far when a group of men in their twenties who were merrily singing a football song stopped and stared straight at Elizabeth.
    “Hey hot stuff.” One of the guys said sloppily. He stumbled clumsily towards her.
    “I have a boyfriend.” Elizabeth gestured to Jordan.
    “So?”  The man took a step forwards towards Elizabeth.
    Jordan stepped in front of her and clenched his fists. The man retreated quickly; Jordan smirked until he realized it was only because the man had seen another group walking by. He looked to Jordan angrily.
    “Shame.” He said as he walked off with the rest of his group.
    “Assholes.” Elizabeth shouted to them.
    The man turned around and shouted back .
    “You’re lucky this time.” Elizabeth turned and ran at them, throwing her bottle of vodka over the men. Elizabeth and Jordan turned and ran away quickly, laughing. They rushed past the buildings. Jordan kept falling into things and Elizabeth had to keep going back to help him.
    “You’re a pain in the ass.” Elizabeth said breathlessly.
    “But I’m your pain in the ass.” Jordan said with a big grin.
    They stopped running when they reached the poorly lit park. She leant against a tree laughing. Jordan slumped to the floor, drunk, and felt damp grass through his jeans. The world spun around him.
    “I’m so drunk.” He slurred. Elizabeth laughed and lay down next to him.
    “What do you want do now?” She laughed.
    “I don’t mind, along as it’s with you.” He turned to her and kissed her hard. He pressed himself against her and burped .
    “Nice.” She said trying to push hi m away from her. Jordan laughed.
    “I love you Elizabeth.” He said sloppily.
    “You’re drunk. You don’t know what you’re saying.” She said quietly.
    “I do, I love you so much.” Jordan said as he began kissing her neck.
    “Jordan, stop it. You don’t mean what you’re saying.” She said as she shuffled herself away from him and got to her feet.
    “Elizabeth, look you need … no… shh... umm to listen to me… I am not that drunk. I wanted you, I mean
