Home.

I wake up 7am, looking at my ceiling.

“Well this is going to be a crappy day” I think.

I look next to my bed and see the suitcase that has been packed and ready to go. Sighing, I get up and walk to my bathroom. Seeing the sad face that my father has left behind had me thinking that maybe this was all meant to be. That my fate is to be controlled by some salty but handsome man.

After finishing up in the bathroom I walk down the stairs to the kitchen.

“Good morning sweetie” my mother says

“hi..” I say still a bit disappointed of her choice

“Are you ready? He’s going to be here in about 30 minutes”

“I guess.”

“Are you... still ma-“

“Look mom, I’m fine. Just don’t talk about it.”

This was the first time that I have ever cut my mother off and I could see the sadness in her face.

“I’m sorry lexa. I just, if your dad was here then maybe we would have been fine”

“I know”

“I hope you know that this hurts me too.”

And after that sentence I turned around and walked to my bedroom.

-riNg RiNg-

“Hello?”

“Hello dear” a familiar voice says

“Who’s this?”

“Your future husband”

“Hm, right. Cut the b******* I’m not in the mood. Now answer my question before I track you down and kill your family” I threaten smiling.

“Really? Didn’t know you had it in you, lexa.” That’s it. Andre Yu.

“It’s you.”

“It’s me” I can see his smile through the phone

“ what.”

“I was just calling to ask if you were ready, you have less than 10 minutes after all”

“And how do you know I won’t sneak out?”

“Because, you wouldn’t let your mother get hurt would you? And plus I know you’re tired of running and my men are tired of chasing”

“Don’t. You. Dare. Touch my mother Andre Yu”

“See you in a little bit”

-beep-

Asshole. I hate everything about him.

10 minutes later\~

-doorbell rings-

“Yes? Oh hello! Welcome! Yeah she’s ready!” I hear my mother saying to whom I think I know

“Lexaaaa!” She calls

“I’m coming mother!”

I walk down the flight of stairs with my suitcase in my hand. One of Andre Yu’s men then run to help me.

“No.”

“Excuse me?” The man says

“I said no. I can do it, now let go”

“Let her be Marco” Andre says

“Yes sir” marco answers

After taking a minute on the stairs I finally get to the door. Walking pass the man and my mother whom I wanted to say goodbye to. I ask the driver of the black limo to open the trunk and after my mother closed the door the little demon speaks.

“You know dear, you could have asked marco to do that”

“It’s alright sir, I know how to handle my own stuff” I say gritting my teeth

“Alright then, get in the car. We have a long day and drive ahead of us”

Not listening to what he says I get in the limo and look out the window. This was the first time I realized how small our town really was. Driving away from the house I saw the figure if my mother.

“You excited?” He has the audacity to ask me that? When he took me away from my mother?!

“From what it seems like, I’m only going to get excited if I see my mother, or get away from you.” I say, with tears falling down my face. He clearly didn’t care. Or budged. Because when I slowly turned my head back to the window, I saw his little smirk on the corner of his face. Now all I have are the ifs. Ifs that are impossible.
