I was just pulling in the driveway coming home from school. I grabbed my bag and headed for the front door. I went in to the living room were I saw mom with a guy about my age, a women and a man. They all turned and stared.
"Alex please come sit down we need to talk" my mother said.
"Hun this is Vince your fiancé "she said.
" My what?" I whispered.
"He's your fiancé dear" the women said finally." I'm Lauren this is Charles and here is Vince."
"Um...hi" Vince said.
"Alex go get your stuff pack your leaving tomorrow" my mother said quietly.
I couldn't believe this. How could she do this to me? "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME? HOW COULD YOU MAKE ME MARRY A COMPLETE STRANGER?" I screamed. Then I turned and run up the stairs to my bedroom. Where I cried in till there was a knock on my door.
"Can I come in" a voice said. It was my mothers.
"No. Go away. I hate you." I said so she could here me through the door. But she came in my room anyway.
"Alex sweetheart please start packing you leave tomorrow." She said.
"Why? Why do you want me to go with them?" I said.
" You will learn in time but now you must pack and call your friends to say good bye" Her voice was sweet but firm voice which meant no arguing.
She left so I started packing not knowing where I'm going. So I start packing starting with my t-shirts then my jeans. I was just about to start on my shoes when I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Then my door opened it was Lauren, Charles and Vince.
"Goodnight. See you tomorrow at 1 pm. That is when we leave." Lauren said in voice that it sounds like music. She closed the door and that's when I realized Charles had not talk the entire time and Vince only said hi. That's kind of weird but then again they are guys. I finished packing my shoes and clothes and other things like my I-pod and laptop. It was 10 pm when I called Jessica my best friend. Who could not believe what was happening to me.
" I will be over at noon tomorrow" Jess said.
"Ok" I whispered in to the phone and Hanged up.
I went to bed and slept a dreamless sleep.
I woke and remembered what happened to me yesterday. I was leaving today. I was saying good-bye to my mother and Jessica and saying hello to my new life with Vince Lauren and Charles my new family-in-law.
It was noon when Jessica came over we hugged and I gave her all the details.
"What did he look like? What was he wearing?" Jess said.
"He was wearing black shirt black pant and motor cycle boots." I said.
"What color hair did he have? What were his mom and dad wearing?" She was pushing for every detail.
"They all hade sleek black hair. Lauren his mom was wearing a dark red dress and dad was wearing black pant and a black shirt." I said trying to remember what they had worn yesterday. Then I asked, "What time is it?"
"It's 5 till. Why?" She said.
"Oh no they are going to be here in 5 minutes." I groaned.
"They're going to be here?" she asked her eyes bulging out.
"Yes. That's what Lauren said that they would be here at 1 pm," I said. Then the doorbell rang.
"Coming" I yelled so they could hear me. I got up and ran to the door then opened it Jessica following behind me. I opened the door to see Vince in skinny jeans and a black T-Shirt Lauren in a sundress and Charles in jeans and a dark blue button down shirt.
"Hey." I said after a moment.
"Hello dear." Lauren said as she walking in. "Who is this?" She asked eyeing Jessica.
"I'm Jessica. Alex's friend." Jessica said smiling at Vince eyes turning to Lauren.
"Nice to meet you. Vince go get Alex's bags," She said.
'Ok" Vince said quietly and went to get my bags. Which were behind me and in front of the stairs. I was about protest but Vince was already out the door.
"Thanks" I called after him.
"Your welcome" he called from outside and then he was there just like that.
"Well we better get going then" Lauren said look between Vince and me. Then I turned and look at Jessica and hugged her tightly and said, "I'll miss you so much. Take care of my mom," I said good-bye to her lasted night.
"I'll miss you to." She whispered.
I turned to see only Vince standing there.
"They're waiting for us in the limo" he said.
"The limo?" I asked.
"Yes. The limo." He said it like it was normal. Hey maybe it was for him.
"Hey where do you live?" I asked him.
"Just about two hours from here. Just out of New York City." He said opening the black limo door. As I climb in my eyes widen in awe. The limo had a plasma TV and movies and Lauren and Charles where texting.
"Wow." Was all I could say but Vince just laughed and said, "Wanna watch a movie. We have tons."
"Sure" I said and we chose Jumper because I've never seen it. It was better than I thought it would be.
"How much longer" I asked.
"Not much longer about half an hour" he said in a boring way.
I didn't respond I just tuned on my I-Pod and my favorite song which
Was Falling for Your by Colbie Caillat.
I was awakening by a gentle shake. I hadn't realized I fallen asleep. I opened my eyes to see Vince smiling like a little schoolgirl.
"We are home," he said joyfully.
"We are?" I asked. Had I really been asleep for a half an hour?
"Come on lets go see the house." He was very excide. So I got out of the limo and stared. Vince had said house. He was wrong. This was no house but a castle.
"Come on let's go" Vince said pulling me in side. He gave me the grand tour. He showed me the game room the kitchen the movie room and then our room. Yes we had to share a room even thought we had 20 more guest rooms.
Our room was beautiful. There was a king size bed with black sheets with red trimming. A flat screen was in front of a black couch. Three doors were on one side of the wall.
"Do you like the room?" Vince asked. I nodded not able to trust my voice. "Come on. You have to see the closet" he grabbed my arm and pulled me toward one of the doors. The closet was full of clothes well mostly dresses. Dresses from ballroom to causal dresses.
"Wow" was all I could say.
"We are having a party tonight. I think my mom has chosen a dress." He said going through the dresses looking for the dress his mom had chosen. Then he said "Ah.
Here it is." He pulled out the most beautiful dress I've ever seen.
It was a black strapless dress. The top was a sequins and the bottom was a black flowing waterfall.
"Do you like it" Vince said holding the dress up.
"Are you kidding? I love it!" I said and ran up to him and threw my arms around his neck.
