"Natalie I am filthy rich"

That was the last thing my father said to me before we got into the car, for the past fifteen minutes we have been in this car in a terrible silence.

My parents are probably trying to reel themselves in after the news they were just told, I love my parents this should be good for them.

It will be good for them, they just can't see that right now and it's very understandable. I probably should've rebelled more in my life and now looking back there are a lot of things I should've done.

I looked out the window allowing my eyes to land on these pink tulips on the side of the road. "Natalie" My father calmly says as I run my fingers through my hair.

"You aren't going to be twenty one for quite some time now and by then everything will be fine" He says making me shift my eyes to look at him through the mirror.

My father is someone who loves eye contact so him not looking at me through the mirror tells me that he doesn't even believe what he is saying right now.

I unbuckled my seatbelt as I opened the door making both of them turn their heads to look at me as I got out of the car. "Nat!" They both shouted out of concern as I walked over to this fence. I lunged onto the fence and began to climb it.

"Natalie!" My father said as he got out of the car chasing after me, I jumped down and sighed as I cracked my knuckles, I walked over to the garden and bent down over the pink tulips.

I pulled the tulips out of the garden and stood up straight dusting the flowers off, I reached into my pocket and pulled out a hundred dollar bill then dropped it into the hole I just created.

I walked back over to the fence and climbed it again , my father held out his hand making me drop the flowers into his hand. I jumped off the fence and sighed as I looked out my mom who is standing out of the car clearly shocked.

I dusted myself off then took my flowers from my father and walked back over to my parents car, I got back in the Range Rover and closed my door. I put my tulips on my lap as my father got back into the car, "Sorry about that" I said.

"It's okay Nat, are you okay now?" My father asked as he started up the car again, "Ya I am okay now" I said as he locked the car door. He started driving as my mom turned her head to stare at me, "I love you so much." She said as she held out her hand making me smile at her and hold her hand.

I grabbed my phone to see that Aurelia is calling me, I answered the phone call and placed it to my ear as I slowly let go of my mothers hand. "Hello!" I said as I looked out the window, "Hey are you done?" Aurelia asked.

"Ya, I am on my way home right now why what's up?" I asked. "I know you are going to say no but Jason is throwing a party and I want you to come" She said. "When is the party?" I asked making her go quiet.

"Tonight, at like 8pm" She said making me look at my watch, "Yeah I will be there" I said. Aurelia screamed making me raise my eyebrows as I smiled "I will be at your house soon" She said as she hung up.

"I am going to a party tonight" I said as my father pulled up in front of the house, "Natalie-"

"I will not be home late" I said as I unbuckled my seatbelt and got out of the car, I dusted myself off as I walked up to the front door.

I yawned as I walked into the foyer and made my way into the kitchen. I opened up the cabinet and grabbed a vase placing it on the island top.

I closed the cabinet as I opened another cabinet, I grabbed the scissors and turned on the sink. I grabbed the flowers then rinsed them off. "Natalie" My mother said making me look over my shoulder to see her.
