"What the hell do you think you're doing?" my mother yells from across the room.

Up until 2 days ago, my mom has never been a yeller, especially with me. I don't know what's gotten into her & why all of a sudden i'm a "disappointment" to her.

"Mom...what are you doing here?" my tone, sounding harsh.
I look behind me to see Cameron standing only inches away from me, along with his manager & few people from the camera crew. My mom really decided to cause a scene.

"What am I doing here? the question is what are you doing here! I went all around town looking for you!" my mom comes closer to me, whereas I, step a little back.

"How...did you know I was here?" I nervously ask.

"Jess showed me a picture of you & that...famous boy. The location sent me here!" she has her hands on her hips & I already know this is a screaming match just waiting to happen.

"Mom! aren't you suppose to be on a plane to Florida right about now?" I scream.

She takes a few seconds to calm down her anger. "Harley, you know I can't leave without you. I may be angry with you but what would people think of me if I just left you here!"

"You could have left without me, I wasn't stopping you!" I sound brave in my attitude but on the inside, i'm scared.

"Don't use that tone with me young lady. Come with me right now! our flight has been switched to 3 hours from now thanks to you & poor Jess just wants to go home!" she grabs my wrist to go with her.

"Actually, she can't leave. She has a contract with us!" Cameron's manager tells her.

My mom looks confused. "Contract? what contract?"
My mom looks at Cameron, his manager & then back to me. "We'll settle this at court!" she continues & leads me toward the front door.

"You can't make her go if she doesn't want to" Cameron blurts out.

My mom lets go of me & comes back in closer to Cameron. "Excuse me? who are you to tell me what my daughter can & cannot do? she despised you just two weeks ago. You're just a pretty boy with good money & can dance but you're not good for my daughter!" My mom screams & then stares at me & back to Cameron. "And what is with this outfit? did you encourage her to wear it? my Harley would never wear something so...revealing".

Cameron doesn't look at all hurt from my mothers words because he knows who he is even if she doesn't. It doesn't bother him what others think of him because he knows he's making a difference even if others don't see it & I think that's what I love most about him.

"Harley, c'mon, we're leaving!" my mother yells once again but this time, I manage to stand up for myself.

"NO!" I scream.

She looks at me with anger in her eyes. "What did you just say to me?"

"You heard me." I reply with my voice low.

"Harley, for god help me, if you don't come to the hotel at 6pm, we're leaving with or without you". My mom tries saying calmly with anger still boiling inside of her.

"Mom, you've proven how bad you can treat me, you don't even trust me nor believe me & you didn't even ask about how my leg my leg really broke! so no, i'm not coming with you. The only reason i'll go back to that hotel is for my things & that's it!" I half yell.
