Author's note:
I'm starting this from scratch and it'll be undergoing major editing.... But it's still the same story line.
What can you do if you found out you have been engaged since your birth?? As if not enough, you have to get married at the ag...
Two weeks!! That's how long it has been since I found out the truth. Two weeks that I have locked myself in my room, coming out only to eat. My 18th is today and I can finally be free.
Everyone out there has been thinking I'm wallowing in self-pity and I'm quite frustrated, which is true to some extents, but I am actually planning on how to get away from everything. Living a normal life, as an ordinary teenager. Using my unknown card that I acquired some time back, to use on days I escape and don't want to be found, I was able to get a plane ticket straight out of London to New York. Yes, you guessed it right! I'm going to hide in the very place they expect me not to go to, seeing as my groom is from there. My plane is leaving tomorrow, the day that everyone is not alert, my wedding day! 'How will I escape,' You may ask? I have it all covered. As guests flow in, I'll blend in with them and be able to escape, and remember I am not well known by everyone seeing as I lack exposure to the outside world. 'Where will I go?' Got that covered too! I was able to purchase a simple apartment just in the same neighborhood as my school! Yes, you heard right! I will be attending school like and ordinary person for my final months before graduation. 'How did I register for all this?' you can be shocked how easy it is to acquire your own fake ID. I completely changed my details. I go by the name Amelia Kings, rather than my old name. I've had this identity created at the same time I got an unknown card and it's finally coming to good use. Old me is a blond with blue eyes, new me is a brunette with greenish eyes! I ordered the due and contacts online and had them sent to my house as a birthday present from unknown person and it easily passed security, since our family tends to receive things from fans. Everything has been arranged! And I am ready to leave tomorrow. ******************* "Maya darling," I hear my mother say from the door, "may I come in?" It's evening and I am still locked in my room. I quickly get rid of the contacts and wear a beanie over my hair to cover up my change. I slowly walk to the door and open it, letting her in, "yeah," I mumble lowly. "Happy birthday," she says pulling out a small jewelry box, "this is the present your father got for you." " You do not have to cover for him, Mother," I respond sarcastically, "I do not think he has the time to get me a present with all the wedding preparations going on." "Why don't you open it?" She suggests I do as asked and I find that it's a golden heart shaped personalised locket with my initial on it and a picture of my mother and father on one side, and on the other a picture of my mother and father, with me when I was a year old.

I turn to mother and I find her looking at me with a smile, "we love you a lot, Maya!" I smile back, with teary eyes, "I love you both so much!" I hug my mother, and that's when I notice father standing by the door. He walks in and embraces us all in a hug. "I love you too!" He whispers. 'I'm sorry but I still need to leave!' I think to myself as I enjoy the warmth of my parents one last time.

'I have to leave!' I quietly murmur to myself early in the morning the next day. I quickly freshen up and call for a cab as I go through my closet for something to put on. I grab my grey sweatpants, white vest, red head sock, baseball Jersey and red Snickers... I quickly dressed up and pack a few things in a small bag pack. I check my safe and find my savings, amounting to £1 000 000 000, and place a few pounds in my purse and the rest in my bag pack. I also get my black credit card that I will not be using any time soon. I put on my locket and stare around my room trying to get the courage to leave and absorbing as much of it as I can as a goodbye memory. When I think I've stated enough I walk to the door before stopping in my tracks and going back to place a farewell note I write for my parents, explaining why I did this and how much I need this exposure.. not forgetting how much I love them.
I manage to go out of my room without causing alarm and slowly creep down the stairs, since everyone rarely uses them and everyone is busy with the wedding preparations. 'What now?' I think as I reach the gate without anyone noticing. I quickly notice some people carrying equipments to one of the trunks outside and quickly took the chance to blend in and leave with them as a cover. They're to busy and preoccupied to notice. I quietly got a large box and carried it to the trunk. Once outside, I find the cab I had called for earlier packed and I quickly sat in the front seat just as one of the guards noticed me. "Drive!" I told the driver... Without hesitation, he stepped on the gas peddle and we were on our way to the airport! 'Good thing I left my phone!' I sighed. *******
"Thank you," I told the driver as I handed him two £100 notes, "keep the change!" I walked into the airport and quickly went to boarding area of my plane and waited patiently for the boarding time. I am so anxious! I have never been away from home alone and and I'm feeling helpless... ' did I do the right thing?' ' should I go back?' "Plane 4607,, begin boarding!" The intercom roared. I jumped from my seat and quickly got in the boarding line. 'I guess it's too late for regrets now!' I thought silently as the line moved slowly.
I was safely seated, the plane was departed when I finally relaxed and could peacefully get some rest. I had successfully escaped! I am feeling proud of myself right now. I was anxiously tapping my foot from the excitement of all that happened today.. finally being free, that I didn't even notice the person seated besides me.
"First time flying?" A boy around my age, seated besides to me, asked.
"No, not at all!" I defended quickly, "why are you asking?"
"You seemed tense earlier on."
"Oh no.. I'm just excited! It's my first time going to New York."
"Really? Pardon my manners, I'm Leo."
"Amelia" we exchanged greetings...
I found out he was eighteen, was in his final year of high school as well. Goes to Dalton high. "I'll be joining Dalton high too!" I said cheerfully.
I told him about myself, basic information like she, likes and dislike etc.., though resisted mentioning my family and who I really was! I will be known as Amelia from now onwards. We kept talking most of the flight and he was pretty entertaining.
"Passengers, put your seat belts on and prepare for landing!" The captain informed us.
"You ready for this?" I heard Leo ask.
"I guess so!"
'Good luck to me and my new life,' I whispered to myself as I played with the locket. .................. A/N Wow another chapter... Asking for your opinion on this Keep reading
