“What was the deal”?
“You have to marry Jeremy”.
“I what? Are you kidding me, no I am not marrying anyone. I am to young and have so much I want to do in life”.
“That might be so, but you are marrying him next month and you are going back to Florida with them tonight. You are going to do this even if you don’t want to”.
“Fine, whatever. Just don’t expect me to do anything else.
I got up from the couch and ran upstairs to my bedroom. I sat on my bed and cried, thinking how my father could do this to me. There was a knock at my door, but I just ignored it. They didn’t go away though, instead they walked into my room and shut the door behind them. I could hear them walking towards me and sit at the edge of my bed. I turned around to see Jeremy sitting on the edge of my bed.
“What do you want”? I asked.
“Checking up on you. Believe me, I know where you are. I don’t want to get married either, but I have to. But, it could be worse”. Jeremy said.
“How can it be worse”? I asked with confusion strictly in my voice.
“You could be ugly, but instead you’re the most beautiful girl I’ve laid eyes on”.
“You’re just saying that to make me feel better”.
“No I’m not, but you can think what you want. Now, help me pack some of your things”.
He reached his hands out to me and helped me up off the bed. I grabbed my two suitcases that I have in the bottom of my closet and started throwing clothes in there, not caring if they look neat or not. Once, I had all my clothes packed, I grabbed my toiletry back and went into the bathroom throwing all my hygiene items and personal items in the bag. I grabbed my IPhone from my nightstand and then met Jeremy in the hallway. He took my suitcases downstairs, with me strutting along. I gave my dad a hug goodbye and then walked outside with the Salvatore’s getting into the black limo. Once the limo started moving, I put my headphones in my ears and cranked up the music, while tears streaked my face. I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I knew, was Jeremy shaking me awake. I looked at him in puzzlement.
“We are at the hotel for the night”? Jeremy said.
“Why are we at a hotel”?
“It’s a long drive from Colorado to Florida and we can’t be cooped up in the car”.
I shook my head and followed him into the hotel. We rode the elevator up the stairs to the top floor and then walked to the only door on this floor, placing the key card in the slot. Mr. and Mrs. Salvatore were already in the room, when we walked in.
“Hello dear”. Mrs. Salvatore said.
“Hi”.
“You and Jeremy’s room is right there, so why don’t you guys go get some sleep”.
I looked at Jeremy and then at the door, that lead to our room. I am supposed to share a room with him too. I followed Jeremy to the room, not wanting to argue about it. I stopped in my tracks once the door was shut.
“There is only one bed”? I asked confusingly.
“Yes I know. We are going to be sharing a bed for now on anyways, so might as well get used to it”. Jeremy said.
I walked over to the bed and got underneath the covers, as Jeremy did the same.
“You better not do anything”. I said.
“If I was going to do something, you would be begging me”.
“Well that’s not going to happen”. I said turning to face the wall and falling asleep.
