If I have to

Free

I was free. That's all I could think about. He let me go after begging and begging, he showed me a video of my mom walking on the streets, I didn't know where she was going he said that he has men following her, they knew her every move, he said if I speak, if I say a word to anyone about anything he would make my life a living hell. Apparently he had people following me all round too. They were following me everywhere.

It's been two months now since I've left and I couldn't be more scared. I wish none of this had happened. I managed to graduate when I got back, they believed that I was lost while going to the park. I know they did not buy it but they had to because I was not allowed to say anything.My mom decided that we should move, I told her that we didn't have to but she sent me away to my grandma's house for the summer. She wanted me to come study here in California. I was in Calabasas for the whole summer. Bella came with me, I was so excited to see what would happen here, I mean it's LA.

"Chica. Get your butt over here." Bella's voice echoed in the room. I smiled when I heard her voice, she would always put a smile on my face no matter the circumstances.

"What now? I'm not going out tonight I'm tired." I whined. I knew I would hit a nerve if I said that.

"Girl, we going out tonight. I didn't go all the way to the mall for nothing. I spent almost $800, so you better get ready.

"What?! 800$?!! Are you crazy or something?"

"I'm here to get laid and I'm getting laid. Only if I could get laid by some superstar." She said walking around holding something to her chest, I couldn't quite see what kind of outfit it was but I knew it was an outfit for sure. That girl is crazy.

 
"I'm really not in the mood to go out tonight. I don't feel good." I had to come up with something even though she would not take "no" for an answer. She has been so happy, she finally broke up with Harry after months, she has been in pain, she had caught him cheating on her with the school's slut Mariah. She said she beat the life out of that girl. I would too, but Harry also needed some lesson. I did not see Gabriel after what happened, he's been ignoring me like the plague. Gabriel kept trying to stay in contact with me, and I told him to stay away from me, he refused to listen, so I blamed him for what happened. His face was priceless, he was sad, I felt pity for him, he looked so innocent that I could fall for him and take him in my arms and say that it was okay, it was not his fault but I couldn't. He was Bella's first love, he broke her heart. I couldn't dare like him, liking or loving a guy would just make you weak, you would start depending on them for everything. That is the key for them to destroy you, to walk out on you like they usually do. Just like my father who walked out me and my mother, because she let her guard down. Not falling in love or dating anybody doesn't mean I won't enjoy life to its fullest. I will and I will start by doing that tonight. Because I knew Bella was going to drag me anyway. It's LA I'm going to have fun.

"I change my mind. I'm going with you." I said to her.
"You didn't have a choice sweetheart. Go shower. You have an hour to get ready."
I listened to her, I walked to my bathroom and started taking off my clothes to get in the shower.

15 minutes later

I was ready to put my make up on and do my hair. I sat in front of my mirror in the bathroom and took the shower cap off, my curls bounced off my head like they needed their freedom. I started with my foundation and concealer, I applied a little bit of highlighter on my cheeks and did my contour, my eyebrows are already fine I didn't have to do anything with them, I put two different color of eyeshadow and put on red lipstick. I looked at my hair like should I do something with it? I hated it so much, too puffy and too curly for my liking but people were jealous of my hair. I decided to leave it like that and sprayed a little bit of water in there. I left the bathroom and went to the room where Bella was already ready and waiting for me.

Bella was wearing a black and white stripped jumpsuit, it was cut off at the bottom, her stomach was showing, her makeup was very simple and her curls were the same. 'She was still beautiful' I thought. That's my bestfriend.

"Look at you looking all cute. You don't even have your outfit on yet." I laughed at the voice she made when she said that. I love that girl so much.

"So what did you get me? It better be good."
"Shut up. You know I always get good stuff. Look at what I'm wearing." She was showing me the tag, it was Valentino. She looked at me with a smirk on her face to prove a point.

"Your dress is on the bed, put it on and let me see." I took the dress from the bed, it was pale brown, it was cut out at the chest. 'I have no tits so...nothing is showing' I thought. I always wanted to have boobs, mine are just like babies tits. 'Ok I'm exaggerating...but seriously though.' The dress was so pretty. I put it on and she handed me the sandals, they were Christian Laboutin shoes. 'Where did she get all this money from?'

I was feeling so beautiful and ready for the night. I was 19 after all and going off to college. My life starts tonight.
