One Big Mistake(on hold)

Innocent

It's funny how unpredictable life can be. Some people just live in the moment while others have their entire lives all planned out. When things are planned out everything has to go according to the plan. One mistake can change the present and the future. It can take your entire course off track. What happens when you can't fix it? When you just don't know what to do anymore. Daniella is one of those people whose had everything handed to her, never had to work hard for anything, always depends on others and has her entire life planned out. That is... until her plans take an unexpected turn.

......

Daniella's POV

"Explain to me the reason why I have to join you tonight?" I ask Anisa, one of my closest friends since middle school.

"You need a distraction from all the stress you've been having lately. Is it a crime that I worry about your happiness?" She smiles at me while selecting what I'm forced to wear tonight.

"No it's not a crime but a party? Seriously? You know I'm an introvert and would rather go to the park or stay indoors and watch Netflix."

"Child you are seventeen years old. When are you going to start having fun? You can't bury your head in the books for the rest of your life." She throws one of my least favorite dresses at me. "This is what you're going to wear." She smirks and stands against the wall while watching me pick up and look at the dress in disgust.

"No way in hell am I wearing this dress." She laughs at my response and picks up her jacket and car keys to leave.

"Listen I'll pick you up around nine, be ready by eight thirty." She says as she exits the room not even letting me say anything before she leaves.

I sigh loudly and look around my room. I live in a two story house in a closed community, all my life I've been protected and felt safe. I've never been separated from my parents ever since I was little and every time I go somewhere without them I admit to getting a little terrified. I guess it's because I'm afraid to grow up. Afraid of having to face all my problems on my own. Thankfully for now I have my friends to keep me company but I would rather stay home than go anywhere tonight.

I get out of bed and look at the time. Oh shit it's already seven so I should probably start getting ready. I take a quick shower, put on the dress and start applying my skin care routine. My mom owns a skin care company and I have to promote her products meaning I have to constantly be applying them. I put on some makeup and start curling my hair. Once I'm ready I look at the time and I have thirty minutes before Anisa arrives. I grab a hand purse and put in the most necessary items that I'll need tonight: my phone, house keys, lip gloss, money, gum and pepper spray. My pepper spray is my best friend when it comes to protecting myself I've used it a lot considering how important my parents are.

I head downstairs to the dining room where my parents are sitting down drinking coffee. My dad is typing on the computer and my mom is dealing with company orders on her tablet. My dad works with the mayor, let's say he's an important man in this city and he has done a lot to help it progress.

"Hey guys" I smile at them and neither of them make acknowledge my existence. It's not a surprise. I clear my throat and my mom looks at me.

"What do you want sweety?" she looks at me with a tired and impatient expression.

"I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm going out tonight with my friends."

"No you may not young lady it is a school night." She looks down at her tablet and continues working

"I know it's a school night and I've done all my homework and studied already I don't understand what the problem is," I try to hold in my frustration. I always have to do whatever they say and I'm getting pretty tired of it.

"No means no Daniella stop protesting. Go back to your room and get undressed." She looks back up at me waiting for me to leave.

"That is COMPLETELY UNFAIR!" I stand up and look at her, then at my dad "Dad why can't I go!?" I put my hands on my hips and stare at him. He stares back at me and sighs in disappointment.

"If you want to go to a party then go. When you come back home upset or drunk then we're gonna have problems. You are under my roof and you do what I say. You can go but I don't want you asking for anything else in a long time you understand me?" He points at me with his finger and waits for me to respond. I nod my head quickly and give him a quick hug. Right when I leave the dining room Anisa parks her car outside while she waits for me. I take a deep breath and head outside. Here goes nothing.
