In Your Cage (Yu Phoenix Love Story)

Chapter 1- Flight

Summer was here and graduation was finally over! I could already see myself getting my hair dyed black with bleached streaks in it; I was finally able to dye my hair without my parents literally eating me alive because I now didn’t have to live with them! I was moving to Germany until I finished college the only condition was that once I finished college I had to come back to the states. But in my opinion if I’m able to get a job or house there then they can’t exactly kidnap me and bring me back, legally anyway.

I gathered all of my bags together and grabbed them all before walking down the stairs towards the door. I set all my things down as my parents walked in the room, my mother with tears in her eyes.

“Please be careful and please follow the rules I gave you.” She said, then her eyes were frustrated as she saw that I hadn’t bothered to take my lip and nose piercings out in front of them. “You know how much I despise those things so why didn’t you take them out?”

I shrugged “I’m leaving so you can’t exactly ground me, and when I get back you can’t ground me because I won’t be living here.”

She sighed before my dad hugged me. “My only rule is to have fun but be careful about it!” he smiled. I always thought my dad was pretty cool, he never commented on how he hated my piercings or style; he just let me be me.

“I will. My taxi’s here so I’ve got to go. I’ll call you when I get to Germany. I love you.” With that I waved and grabbed all my things and piled them into the taxi’s trunk before climbing in the backseat.

I didn’t bother to look back, I was happy to finally be leaving. Freedom was mine now, I could do whatever I wanted and I loved it!

It only took about five minutes to get there and I paid the driver and got out quicker than I meant to get my things. This was like my great escape. I again picked all my bags up and headed into the air port where I let the people take them to get checked in and got my ticket and all before I sat down and waited for my flight.

Finally after about fifteen minutes they called for my flight to board and I got up and followed the line to the place where we boarded the plane. I stepped onto the plane and sat down in my seat then turned on my iPod to block everything and everyone out. I felt someone sit next to me and I tried to ignore them as best I could but it was kind of hard when they were constantly poking me in the side.

I pulled my ear phones out and turned sharply to glare at them. As I glared the guy just smiled playfully. “Geez it’s about time I got your attention!”

I stared at him in shock. He was probably not much taller than me (at 5’5’’) and had bleached blonde hair that was spiked in the back and had a few streaked of black in it. His brown eyes were lined with black liner and his clothes resembled that of Japanese youth style. I had to admit we had the same tastes when it came to clothing, makeup and hair. My hair was currently bleached with other black streaks that ran through out my hair. My green eyes were lined with dark liner with just a little bit of white eye shadow. I was currently wearing lime green zebra striped skinny jeans and a black t-shirt. “If you wanted my attention why didn’t you just ask?”

“Because you were listening to music.”

“Well….?” I asked trying my best not to smile but failed as a smirk escaped.

“I like your clothes and style and you seemed like you would be fun to aggravate.” He smiled again.

“Thanks I guess.” I shrugged and put my ear phones back in and went back to listening to my iPod. Not a minute later I felt him poke me several times again. I sighed and pulled the ear phones out again and looked at him. “What do you want?” I asked now becoming annoyed.
