I wake up to Sarah snoring and I groan and roll over to smack her in the arm.
"Ouch! What are you doing?" Sarah complains as she sits up and wipes the drool off her face.
"Your snoring, thats my problem. My goodness you sounds like a car engine." I laugh as I sit up and catch a glimpse of the clock on the wall. "Oh no!" I yell jumping up and rushing to my bag.
"Woah. What's wrong?" Sarah asks and she goes to get up and starts fixing the couch back.
"Its almost twelve. He is probably at my house now! I don't want them to come here and find me before I leave!" I grab my bag and run to the bathroom next to the kitchen.
"OK you shower and I'll make you a breakfast sandwich. Go, HURRY!" Sarah yells to me as she runs to the kitchen.
I take the fastest shower I can manage and put on dark skinny jeans, a maroon tank top, my leather jacket, and my ankle high lace up boots. I throw my hair into a bun while its still wet and put everything back into my bag and brush my teeth.
I run out of the bathroom and see Sarah at the front door holding a bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich. I grab it out of her and and give her a hug.
"Thanks girl! I'll call you when I get where I wanna be." I say as I run to my truck.
"By safe! Love ya brainiac!" I look back and wave to Sarah before hoping into my truck. The tears are coming again but I know I will see her soon.
I buckle my seat belt and take a deep breathe before beginning to back up. I glance behind me and scream as I break. There is a limo parked behind my truck and I almost hit it!
I jump out and yell, "What the heck are you doing?" I see Sarah running towards me and we walk to the limo together. From the back door we see a very tall man exit the limo and before he turns I see my parents car pulling up behind the limo.
"Oh crap!" I say knowing exactly who just came out of the limo. I turn to Sarah and grip her shoulders saying, "I refuse to marry I'm only twenty. Cover me." She understands immediately what I plan to do.
"Don't worry I know a little karate. Grab your bag and quick." I do as she says and soon I am watching Sarah run towards the tall man and jumping on his back. I smile and turn to run as fast as I can. I hear my parents calling my name and then I hear them yelling at Sarah to get off of Nathan.
Well my hunch was right. It was him in the limo. I run and run but I am quickly running out of breath and I have a cramp in my side. All of a sudden I feel someone grab my waist and pull me over his shoulder.
"Oh no you did not just grab me like that!" I scream in his ear. I try to turn my head but it doesn't work. I give up and all I get is a view of his back and his butt.
"Stop being immature. My name is Nathan and you are coming with me." This Nathan kid starts walking back towards Sarah's house even as I begin to kick.
"I don't think so! I am not going anywhere with you. You are a complete stranger! Now PUT ME DOWN!!" Even with me kicking and screaming in his ear he still continues to walk. We soon arrive back at Sarah's house and he sets me down.
Sarah runs up to me and grabs my arm. "Are you OK?" She asks looking troubled.
"Yea you know, just got manhandled that's all," I say fixing my shirt. "You know I'm not going with him," I say turning to my parents.
"Yes you are young lady," my dad says, "the rest of your stuff is in his trunk ready to go. You are going to move with him and you will go now."
I can't believe they are willing to give me away so easily. It's like they don't even care about me. I soon feel Nathan take my bag and I see him go put it in the trunk of the limo. He then turns to look at me with a hateful glare on his face.
"Get in the limo, NOW!" I hear Nathan say as he opens the door to the limo. I never in my life imagined this would be happening to me.
I turn to Sarah and hug her with tears in my eyes. I hear her whisper in my ear, "You call me everyday and if he does anything you call me and I'll be up there no matter what." I laugh along with her and we soon pull away. I know I won't see her in a while and this makes me tear up even more.
I turn to walk to the limo and my parents soon approach. My mom and dad try to hug me but I back up. "Don't touch me. Since you obviously don't want me, considering how fast you were to sell me over, I don't want to ever talk to me and don't come see me." I then turn to the limo, despite my parents protest.
"Sweetheart we love you," I hear mom and dad say.
I look at Nathan and say, "You know I hate you, and no matter what you do I will always feel that way."
I get into the limo and reach into my pocket for my headphones and my phone. I will not sit here and listen to him try to talk to me. I refuse to pay attention to him.
"Stop acting so immature," this Nathan guy says as he gets in and closes the door. I simply roll my eyes and put my headphones in. I will not give him the satisfaction of getting a reply from me.
I lean my head back and eventually close my eyes. Before I know it I drift off into a sleep to try to escape my feelings.
A while later I open my eyes to see we are at the airport. "Get out of the car, we have a flight to catch," I hear from Nathan. I open my door and get out not looking at him. I glance back to see the driver getting out bags that contain my whole life and putting them on a push cart.
We soon walk into the airport and Nathan sits down while his driver goes to check our bags and get our boarding passes. I walk after him and grab my bag from Sarah's house off the cart. "Thanks," I say as I walk back to where Nathan is.
I opt to stand instead of sit by him and see him typing away on his phone. Without looking at me he says, "We will be flying first class and it will be about a four hour flight. We would take my jet but I left it in New York." I snort as he says this.
He finally looks up and says, "What?" In a very snappy tone at that.
"Oh nothing. You're just exactly what I expected, typical rich guy," I begin to pace back and forth as I wait for the driver to get back.
I feel Nathan grab my arm and I look up as he says, "Oh yes, and what would that be?"
"Arrogant, intitled, and stuck up. Now let me go," by now I am furious as I yank my arm out of his grasp. I am not someone he can just control. I hear someone clear their throat to see the driver holding our passes near by.
"Let's go," Nathan says as he heads after the driver towards our terminal. I have no choice but to follow, I dont feel like being left in a gigantic airport.
We walk threw the tunnel and board the plane. I get the window seat and for that I am thankful. I'm not a big fan of planes. Nathan sits down and gets comfortable. About thirty minutes later we were taking off and I ended up gripping the chairs handles.
"Someone doesn't like planes," Nathan said snickering.
"Oh shut up, you butthole," I say gritting my teeth. I've known him for all of like two hours And I already didn't like him. I actually hated him.
As we leveled out I relaxed and leaned back. I soon put my headphones in and looked out the window. I watched as my home town disappeared and all I knew was left behind. I closed my eyes as the tears started to fall and I just knew my life would never be the same.
