The Geeky Girl

Absolutely, not!

Lily's POV

I sat inside the black Armada as I waited for my mom. We were headed to one of her business meeting. I don't see why I had to tag along and miss school for this. She finally came out of the house and was seated beside me on my right but I tried the best I could to separate us. "Honey, I don't bite," she said. I didn't respond back. I just hated it.

Yes, she's my mother but she is giving a lot of reasons to hate her. I don't want to hate on her but she leaves me no choice but more reasons to.

She stricken the rules every time I talk back to her. She hadn't given my phone back, no electronics whatsoever. I can't come to parties even the welcome home party for me. I can't go out with friends. Only certain people can come visit me in the weekends.

We finally arrived at the building and we were escorted by four guys wearing suits and shades like in the movies. I hate it that I wasn't close to them. I can't bribe them whatsoever. They won't budge at all. They are all loyal to my mom.

I sat at the front desk as I waited, seated in between my 'body guards.' Minutes later, my mom called me to come inside. She made me stand in front of everyone in the room. "Ladies and gentlemen, my daughter, Lilian Crawford." My mom rested her arms on my shoulder.

"Ah, I see what you mean, Jennifer," one of the man said.

"She would make a perfect wife," a lady said which had caught me off guard. Did she just say 'wife?' What does she mean? My mom is not doing what I think she's doing, is she? My dad won't approve of this. I won't approve of this. I would do anything she ask but marry someone I don't love.

"Hold up, she's still too young. She needs time but for now I'm just showing you my wonderful daughter of mine that will soon be one of you, guys, daughter-in-law," my mom smiled then looked at me which I gave her back a glare. It was horrible. I spent an hour and a half in that conference room discussing who I should be with and how much the share will be. I didn't even get to sit down. They talked among themselves and pretended like I wasn't even there.

We got back home and I immediately rushed to my room. I couldn't stop the tears falling down. I didn't know why I was being set up to marry a stranger. I hate it. I hate my life. I hate everything. I don't even know why I was even born and brought into this world. There are thoughts in my head where I just want to die, but I can't. I can't right now. I have to fix the problem I have cause.

I'll have to find a way to go back to Denver and talk to Maddy. I have to fix this. I have lied to them so many times and the least I could do is make it up to them. I don't know how but I will find a way. I owe them. Maddy, Mason, Mark, Ron, Ryan, and Bridget, and Jacob too.

I heard the intercom buzz in my room. "Sweetheart, come downstairs. Dinner is ready," my mom called out right after I finished sobbing. I wiped my face to make sure they don't notice that I cried. I came down and found the long table with four plates set up. What is she even doing? What is she trying to accomplish here? If she expects to have a normal dinner as a family then she is delusional. That would never happen again.

Dad was already sat on his chair while mom and Landon were about to take theirs. Landon has been distance with me for the pass week and I don't know why. I don't want to talk to him also because I'm afraid that he'll tell me that he will fix it. The thing is, I don't want him to do anything at all. I don't want to get him involve in my stupid nonsense act.

I took my seat next to Landon and stared at my plate. I didn't want to have any eye contact with anyone. No body spoke a word and it was really awkward. Then, I heard someone clear their throat. "So, what exactly do you want?" I heard Landon's voice.
