Although she is devastated, her mother refuses to let her stay home from school and tells her it's best to carry on as normal. Distracted in class, Janette's teacher chastises her and sends her from class. In a saddened stupor, Janelle wanders up the school's tower and Mike follows her up as he'd seen her from a distance. Seeing how unhappy she looks he asks what's wrong and she bursts out with the news about her father, saying he was the only one, but he declares she's not alone anymore and they embrace. They start seeing each other secretly, although Mike wants to tell Janette's mother so she doesn't take it badly. Janette convinces him to go to Romeo & Juliet in a nearby town. In the meantime, her teacher catches her writing him a love note but the principal decides it's unnecessary to warn Janette's mother. After seeing the play, the young couple have car trouble so don't arrive until early on Friday morning. Mrs. Grant catches Mike leaving Janette's room as her ankle was twisted and he had to help her in. She overreacts, ultimately she's decided to send her to Toronto the next day. Mike and Janette sneak off in the night, heading to Scotland to elope. The next night they stay in a small B+B with a nosey owner, who calls the newspaper in the morning. Mike knocks him out and the reporter helps them. As they go, some people help them and others don't. Finally, after losing their car and belongings, they are on foot and in sight of a bridge to Scotland when the police, the press and their parents turn up.
