I remember when I was thirteen, which was only three years ago, I had the idea that as soon as I turned fifteen I would be able to get rid of my bodyguards. I thought I would be free, free to be able to go out and not have to be the center of attention at the mall or anywhere i went. I felt as though I was the president's daughter! At that age I was not aware why I had to be so protected, but then I found out. As you may be wondering, why is it that I live this way?
Well, let me explain to you, my family is in the drug dealing business. The day I was given this information I was told I was to train to defend myself because at the age of seventeen I would take charge of the business. Ever since that day, I would find myself dreaming about that normal life I so desperately wanted.
Today is Monday, worse day of the week, and I had school today. I drag myself out of bed and made my way to the bathroom. After my shower I blew dry my hair before straightening the top and curling the ends of it. I walked back to my room and sat on my vanity desk to start on my makeup, I applied foundation, concealer, bronzer, blush, light eyeshadows, eyeliner and mascara. I then moved to my closet and pulled out a black blouse with some baby pink jeans as well as a blazer of the same color. I paired my outfit with some cute black heels and a black clutch. I then moved to my jewelry box and pulled out my signature ring with some earrings, my bracelet, and applied some lip gloss.
I went to grab my backpack and headed down stairs to get a small breakfast. When I walked into the kitchen I saw my mom's small body moving around trying to get everything ready for my brother, sister, and me. I have always loved my mom's black hair, I was my mother's spitting image, with big brown eyes, same thin lips, and small bodies. I kissed my mom in the cheek and said "good morning mom."
She smiled back at me and handed me my coffee and breakfast before yelling at my siblings to hurry up as they rushed down the stairs. I kissed my mom bye when she pulled me back. "Be careful Leila, don't stay away from your bodyguard," said my mom.
"Mom, I'll be alright, I'll just be home late tonight but I'll call you okay? I love you mom, bye" I said in a rush as i got in the passenger seat of the car. I turn to look at my siblings in the backseat and told them to put on their seat belts before nodding to the driver as a sign that we were ready. As soon as I arrived to school I went looking for my friends, in which my boyfriend of two years is included.
"Hey guys, what's up!" came my voice as I approached my group of friends. Daniel, my boyfriend, turned to look up at me after I shut his DS off and gave me a warm kiss that made my stomach erupt with butterflies. I sat next to him, with his arm around me, "so babe, you finished the homework?"
"Please Daniel, as if Leila would ever do her homework!" my friend Casandra spoke, we all laughed at her comment but no one spoke up after that. I pulled out my homework and started working on a few assignments before the bell rang.
A few minutes passed by until we heard the warning bell ring, we all collected our stuffs and parted our own ways. "See you later guys," called Cassie as she left her own way. Daniel grabbed my hand as he walked me to my class, "so I take it you wont be able to make it to the party tonight? I mean, you were dropped off by that strange dude again, weren't you? Who is he anyways?"
"Daniel, you know he's not a 'strange dude'. He's a friend of the family and my mom just asked him to drop me off, but I will go to the party. I'll find a way to make it okay babe? I love you see you later," i said before going inside my classroom.
The lesson went by quickly and I soon found myself walking to second block while talking to May about the party that night. I find it a tiny bit stupid to have a party on a Monday night, then again what a better way to start the week dancing, having fun, and maybe a little drinking right? We were discussing the possibilities of been able to sneak away from the bodyguards, May has known about my bodyguards and the business, and honestly it seemed impossible to sneak away from them.
I got to my class and took my seat next to May still discussing the ways of getting away.

It was already 8:30 and my family and I had finished dinner, we were all at our room when my mom knocked at my door bringing my attention away from computer. "Hi baby, I just came to say goodnight," said my mom as she took a seat next to me. "Goodnight mommy," I said with a smile on my face, "I love you."
She kissed my forehead and got up to leave, as soon as she shut the door I shot up to get ready for the party. I put on some light skin-tight jeans and a tight black corset shirt that hugged all my curves in all the right places. I curled my black long hair in lose sexy waves and then proceeded to do my makeup. I applied foundation to cover up my imperfections before moving on to applying a thin layer of concealer to cover up my horrible dark circles.
I then moved on to applying eyeshadows, eyeliner, and a few coats of mascara, i then moved to apply bronzer and blush to my cheeks. Happy with the way my outfit came together with my make up, I move to put on my thigh-high stiletto boots and then applying a deep red lipstick.
I grabbed my clutch and threw my phone, lipstick, and keys into it. I walked to the window and climbed into the tree that is outside my room. I climbed out and ran to the gate without being noticed. I climbed up the gate and walked as fast as I could to the end of the street where May was waiting for me. I got into the car and smiled at her,"Hey May, you ready to party?"
"Hell yeah dude! Can't wait!"
"Well I think I'll catch a ride with Daniel. Knowing you, you'll get too drunk and end up forgetting about me." I said laughing.
As soon as the words left my mouth we pulled up to the street where the party was being held. We got out of the car and started walking to the house while talking about how good we looked in our outfits. We walked up the steps to the entrance of the house and knocked at the door. A few seconds passed before Jake, the party host, opened the door with a smile in his face, "ladies! Come in, grab a drink! Have fun!" he said before walking away to sea of bodies.
We laughed and each grabbed a drink before looking at each other and then walking to different directions in search of our boyfriends. I found Daniel quickly, he was talking to some of his friends before his eyes landed on me. I smiled instantly at him and walked up to him. We shared a quick hug before I turned to the guys to say hi to them.
The night went by with us drinking and dancing. I'm currently looking for a drinking before I leave. I find my drink and go back to Daniel, "hey babe, let's go home already, please?" I can feel his arm around my waist as I can smell his cologne around me.
"Okay princess, can you just get me a drink before we leave?"
"Already did baby. Here you go." I say as I hand him his drink.
He takes it and waves goodbye to his friends. We walk out of the house hand in hand to his car. He opens the door for me and then walks around and gets in. This is why I love him you see, he's caring, and attentive to anyone's needs. He is the best thing that could have ever happened to me. It's really hard for us to go out on dates and be a normal couple because I have kept Daniel a secret from my parents. It kills me to do this but I'm afraid to tell them, I'm afraid of losing him.
Before I realized it his car was parked at the end of the street where May picked me up. I turned to look at him and gave him a kiss, it was gentle and soft but full of love towards each other. We said bye to each other before I shut the car door and started walking home. His car didn't drive away until I climbed the gate to the safety of my home.
I climbed inside my room and took a quick shower to remove all the makeup, sweat, and the smell of alcohol from my body before crashing on my bed with only a shirt and my underwear.
