Bought.

One.

"Jade go get me a shot" said my Mother, "I am 17! I'm underage!", "God Damit do I have to do everything myself" she said and stormed off, me and my Mom are living in Australia because, my Dad died so we are living in his house.

I took the opportunity and took my longboard and left. I started longboarding in the nice smooth road, the wind hitting my face embracing the wind and the sun. I kept riding like if there was no tomorrow, I stopped at this hill that was my secret escape. I stayed there and saw the whole city Sydney, Australia I remember I came here once with my Dad and he said "This is our secret place whenever you need to think or just escape from life come here ok?" Then my phone started buzzing like crazy.

"Hello?" I said

"Jade come home I have someone I want you to meet" said my Mother.

"Fine I'll be home in 10 mins"

"Hurry up!"

I hung up on her and I said "I miss you Dad..." and I left on my longboard. I took the long way home I went in the city and I took in the wind again, I opened my arms wide and felt free. My Dad was the person who showed me, Money doesn't make you happy...it just helps you, what really makes you happy is your freedom..feeling free is the best feeling in the world.

I got home and I saw a really nice car outside, I just admired it then I thought "Looks like Mom found a man" and I rolled my eyes and laughed to myself. Then I took out my keys and opened the door. I saw a guy who was around my age 2 or 3 years older and my Mom got up and said "Jade, this is Calum I knew him since he was just a baby" then he said "Nice to meet you" and he extended his hand I shaked his hand.

Then I said "I'm gonna go to my room", "Wait! Jade!", "Yes?", "You no longer live here", "Excuse me?! this was my father's house I have every right to be here", "No because you will be living with Calum.....I sold you" As soon as those words left her mouth I didn't know what to say.

Then Calum said "Your stuff is in my car you won't need to take your furniture" I just started crying and went up to my room, the freedom I had was taken away from me. My sweet freedom was taken away from me.

I sat on the floor and saw my empty room. Memories started going through my head.

"Daddy can you read me a story?" I said as he tucked me in bed. Then my Dad said "What do you wanna be when you grow up?", "I wanna sing for people and dance for them to I wanna be famous", "I will support you every step of the way" then he told me a story of how a man who loved money so much realized that money doesn't make him happy he needed love and freedom...something money couldn't buy.

My Mom came in "Jade I did this for us, don't worry your in good hands", "You sold me!", "I know but I mean the guy isn't bad looking", "Do you have any idea what you just did?!", "Yes...give my daughter a better future", "Your sick!", "Listen he is willing to give a great amount of money enough to pay our debts so suck it in", "Do you realize what you have done and what you are saying?!", "Just go with the guy he won't do any harm" I didn't respond. I really needed my Dad he would stick up for me and prevented this horrible decision.

I shoved her away and went downstairs I saw the guy smiling. I wasn't smiling I was dead serious, he said "We should get going we have a plane to catch" My Mom came downstairs and said "Bye" then I said "Wait! take me somewhere I need to do something!" I said to Calum he then said "Yeah sure let's go" I just glared at my Mom I walked to the door and stopped.

I thought my Dad wouldn't want me to be this rude and distant with my Mom. So I went and hugged her and said "Stop drinking for me please", "Of Course" she said and I touched the door one last time and went out and took my longboard with me.

I put my longboard in the back seat. I sat infront, then I told Calum "Go to that hill up there...that big hill that looks like a mountain", "Why there?", "It's a but personal", "Sorry" the car ride there was quite and we finally arrived. I told Calum "Stay here or come if you want to" I then got out and I went up to my Dad's grave and said "Daddy I'm leaving I won't be able to come and see you like I do, I miss you, I need you" I said as I started crying then Calum was behind me and he said "I'm sorry for your loss", "It's ok he died doing what he loved, what made him feel free" I then got up and gave one last look at the veiw.

Calum then said "Amazing veiw...it makes you feel fr-", "free I know something I won't be able to feel again in my life" he then said "I'm sorry but it's not like your my prisoner.....we have a plane to catch, I'm sorry" then I got up and went into the car with him.

We arrived to the airport and Calum bought two plane tickets to LA. Great once the process is done we finally get on the plane and I sit there next to him. I sit by the window, I get my headphones out and I listen to my music on my crappy phone.

"So when is your birthday?" said Calum "Why did you buy me? I have feelings too you know? I need my freedom", "I'm sorry I thought it was best for you" he said I looked at the window and said "October 28th"

He then saw my crappy phone, and he said "You need a new phone...don't worry once we arrive I will get you a new one", "Thank you" I gave him a small smile.

I am still mad at him that he technically bought me. Like as if I was a toy, he took me away from my Dad. We arrived at LA, it was 12 p.m. already I was starving, then Calum said "Do you mind if I hold your hand? I get nervous", "Um I guess I mean I am practically your slave", "Don't say that" A lot of people say I act like the character fluttershy from My Little Pony. My Mom sometimes called me that cause of how quite I was.

I held his hand.

Then we went out to the airport and there was a lot of girls that had 'I Love You Calum' posters and stuff one person even threw a bra. I just started laughing cause now that person is braless. Calum laughed along with me but I am still mad with him.

I still can't believe I was bought.
