Crystal (pov)

"okay lets pack," I said.

Grabbing just some items I was starting to remember the incident that made a complete turn in my life. I paused for a minute and I looked at my room. It was full of memories that have become part of me, and it was crazy to think that I was in the same situation from six years ago, but this time I was doing it by my own will.

Six years ago~

I was crouched down next to my bed, too afraid to move or to make a sound. My eyesight had become blurry from all the tears that were leaving my eyes. 15 minutes ago I had been told that my parents had sold me to some stranger to pay up their debt. A debt that was still unknown. I knew my parents didn't cherish me but this was way out of hand.

"Crystal!!" my mom shouted out from the hallway. I didn't budge, I heard footsteps entering my room "Crystal! what are you doing just sitting there" she said and no response was emitted from me "Crystal GET UP!!" she said again no response, "I said GET UP!" she said once again as she clutched my arm and yanked me to stand up. I sobbed harder, I just wanted to be left alone " get a hold of yourself crystal your doing us a favor and for yourself," she said shaking me in place. I yanked my arms away from her and said "No!, its been always you and my dad, I have always been out of the picture," in a low tone while staring back at her. " Don't you dare speak to me like that again!" my mom said raising her arm to slap me, "do it, this will be your last time" I said, her eyes filled with rage " and I will make sure you remember it!" She said a loud smack was heard throughout the room as I stumbled in place.
"Crystal! What are you doing just standing there!" my dad said as he walked into my room. I didn't move, while I was holding my left cheek, everything felt numb, at this point "Crystal!" My dad called me again frustration in his voice, he started to walk towards me. "Don't?" my mom told him, as she stopped him, "let her be, she's been weak and stupid" she said while looking at me, " you better have your things ready!," he said " and just pack your clothes and phone, everything else will be left behind " he added while I turned to him as he had grabbed my attention "what?! I need more than just my phone and clothes!" I said unsatisfied, my dad just laughed and said: "you don't need it, we bought it and it stays with us, you don't have a say." I just stared at both of my parents not believing in what they have just said and done, " you have to be ready for tomorrow at 10 am, no excuses " my mom said as she started to walk out of my room as my dad followed her, my dad spoke for one last time and said "not a single word to Rachel, this is our business, not somebody else's, so watch it" as he disappeared from my sight.

I dropped down to the ground a loud sobbed came out of my mouth, I didn't know how long I stayed in that position, but I was brought to my senses by thunder. I slowly got up, my legs were numbed, my head started throbbing instantly as I got up and moved. I walked towards my window and saw the storm that was approaching, more thunder was heard, "what a perfect life" I said sarcastically yet sad, I walked away from the window and looked at the time on my phone 1:05 am, I dropped my phone on my bed and took out two duffle bags since I was only packing clothes. I slowly started to pack not carrying how much of what I was packing. I looked around my room, a few more tears ran down my cheek, as I saw the pictures frames that I had. I took only some hiding them between the clothes and some other stuff. Even though I was at a slow pace I was able to finish packing, it was only 3:45 am. The storm had also passed and now everything was quiet. I placed the bags at my bed and I sat down next to my bed, just waiting, I felt lifeless. I was supposed to spend my nineteen birthday with friends, not at a stranger's house.

4 am arrive, then 5, and soo on, I stayed in place. Not a single muscle was moved. 9 am had arrived, my alarm went off. I slowly got up and changed knowing that if I didn't look decent I would get yelled at. Right on cue, my mom yelled: "Crystal, you better be ready, he's about to be here!". I grabbed my stuff and headed to the living room, my mom and dad were at the kitchen talking among themselves. I sat down on a sofa and just waited. A few more minutes passed the doorbell rang. "Crystal get ready!" my mom said clearly nervous, I just stayed in place as my dad was opening the door. "come in, wait?! your not him," my dad said confused " he's waiting for her at the house, am one of his men, you guys must be Jason and Rose," the man said " yes we are," my dad said, "let make this quick, give me the girl and your debt will be closed", "come on Crystal, its time," my mom said, I got up with my stuff and walked towards the front door, where the man stood. "okay, it's all settle, let's go crystal," the man said as he walked out of the house, not giving a word to my parents. I started to walk but stopped and turn around to look at my parents one last time, a single tear ran down my cheek, I turned around and as I did, I heard the door close from my house. The man, open the passenger door, no words where exchanged. I got inside the car and waited for him to start the car. The car started to move and I watched as my house started to get smaller and smaller.
