Sadist • Jared Leto

~chapter seventeen~

Milah's POV

If you would have told me that at age sixteen, I would find myself in LA with Jared Leto himself, on the way to his house, I would straight up laugh at you. But that is indeed the case right now, which is shocking but I've been getting more used to the thought. 

When I left Canada, I had a really emotional goodbye with my parents, as well as Charlie and Jake at the airport. They all bid me a farewell and a good luck, which got me excited. The only thing that has been making me feel pretty bad is the whole situation with Daisy. She seems to be really mad, if she won't even come to the airport to say bye to me. 

But I guess I can't have everybody on board with such a crazy and spontaneous decision. 

So after the short plane ride with Jared, we are now sitting at the back of a car, on the way to his house. I had absolutely no idea of how it looked or how big it was, but I was definitely eager to find out. Jared says that I'll have my own part of the house, but for some reason I doubt that I'll be staying there that much. 

"We're almost there. You excited?" He asked, placing his hand on my thigh and gently squeezing it. 

I grinned at him, nodding my head. "Sure am. What are we going to do when we get there?" 

Jared bit his lip, smiling slightly. "I'll probably give you a tour, then let you settle in. Once you do, then we'll see when the time comes." 

Even though it was almost midnight, I didn't feel any sort of exhaustion. I guess being in a new country does that to you. 

I looked out of the window and stared at the LA city, astonished by everything that we pass by. I was almost positive that we were on the street that Jared's house is on, because the houses became bigger and bigger, as we were going up a hill. Although it was dark outside, the lights from the city saturated the area, making it absolutely gorgeous. After a couple minutes of going up hill, we went through a gate which was guarded with security who checked the driver's ID. 

"So only famous people beyond this point?" I asked, wiggling my eyebrows at Jared. 

He chuckled, shaking his head. "Basically just a bunch of really rich people beyond this point. Sure, a lot of them are famous but some are really just a bunch of random, millionaires." 

I slowly nodded, once gain turning my head towards the window to look at our surroundings. After some time passed, we reached a very large house further up the hill, a gate at it's entrance and large trees surrounding the area. "Wow, this is your place?" I asked Jared, seeing that we started to drive towards the now opening gate. 

"Yep." He said, smiling gently. "Just wait till you see the inside, it's even better. Oh, and I have a huge pool in the backyard so maybe we can go for a dip whenever you are ready to." 

"You know, I actually always wanted to swim when it's dark out, and I for some reason never actually did. I definitely won't mind if we try it later tonight." I said with a smile, the car now coming to a complete stop at a parking spot.
