Wow. Just wow. Um. . . how am I suppose to exlpain this? I mean I'm 17 I'm a senior in high school. How do they think I'm going to take this. What? Do they think I'm going to be happy about this. How could my parents do this to me. Well they don't really know me, but still do they really wanna give their only child none the less their only daughter away.

Its been a few hours since they told me the news. And now here I am laying awake at two o'clock in the morning on a school night. I should just skip its not like anyones gonna miss me. Maybe Liz, but thats probably it. I'd probably just be tormented by Tina and her little followers. Well its a good think I wont be going there for much longer well thats at least a plus to this whole arrangement. I wonder how he feels about this? I mean we've never met. I don't even know what he looks like. I suppose to meet him tomorrow after school which I plan on not going to, but the only thing I know is his name which is Zachary Goode and his family owns The Blackthorne car dealer ship which is my familys biggest rival. My family owns the Gallagher car dealer ship. Our parents think it would bring great business for our companies if they merged, so by that they need to make sure that everything must stay that way. And that leads to my arranged marriage with a guy I've never met and who is also two years older than me.

After a while I realized I have been crying. This whole arragement was completely messed up. I mean I'm not going to finish my last year at Roseville High School. I'm not going to go to a great college and meet a bunch of new people or get a job by myself without the help of my parents. I will never now if I could make it on my own because even thought I won't live at home anymore I'll basically still be depend on them seeing as I'll be working for them. Why is my life so messed up? I mean I've basically grown up without my parents they were always gone on business trips, I only have one friend and everyone at school doesn't even know I exist and last but not least I have to get married at the age of 17 to a man I've never met before. Doesn't my life sounds pefect. Most people think I'm just a spolied bitch, but I'm not. I don't have nice cars or millions of pairs of clothes. Honestly I couldn't care less about having money.

Alright. I'm done thinking about this for the day. I'm going to sleep. I took one last look at the clock and realized if I did want to go to school today I'd have about three hours of sleep and that is it, but its a good think I don't plan on going. So after a little while of relaxing and not think of what tomorrow brings I fell into a world of darkness of blissful sleep.

I woke up to something shaking me. I opened my eyes to see a bright light anf after my eyes adjusted to the light coming from my window I looked up to see my father with a big smile on his face for some reason I was really creeped out. I know right being scared of your fathers cheeky smile at you, but it was different I've never seen it before. I rasied an eyebrow at him as if asking him what he wanted. I took a quick glance at the clock to see what time it was before he started talking and I've already missed half the school day which is awesome and my parents didn't even care. Sweet!

"Hey sweetie its time to get ready we're meeting the Goode's in about an hour, so you have to get up." My father said with an even wider grin if thats even possible. I still dont see how my parents are okay with this. I just shoved my head into my pillows and groaned. I thought my dad had walked away, but I spoke to soon because the blankets were ripped from my bed. I groaned again and My dad laughed at me. I gave him the best Morgan glare ever. He put up his hands in surrender.

"Come on you have to get ready Cam." he said as he was walking out the door. "Wear something casual we're just going to a coffee shop in town." His voice got father and father away and I decide since I was already awake I might as well take a shower and get ready for this stupid meeting.

After my shower I put on a black pair of skinny jeans and a dark blue off the shoulder tee with my black toms. I let my hair air dry while I went to go make pancakes or maybe waffles. Both sound so great right now. So I hopped down the stairs and almost ran into my dad.

"Oops my bad. Sorry dad!" I called over my shoulder as I was walking into the kitchen. I greeted my mother as I started to make waffles.

"So honey are you exited to meet your soon to be husband?" My mother asked happily. I didn't wanna disappoint her, so I smiled and nodded.

"Oh of course. Sounds great." I tried really hard to hide the distaste in my voice I must of done a good job because she didnt seem to notice she just put a bigger smile on her face and walked out of the kitchen.

After I finished making, eating and cleaning up after myself I went back to my bathroom to brush my teeth. Once I finished that I turned on my straighter and started to do my hair and applied light make up to my face. I tooke one last look into the mirror to see if I looked alright. My long dirty blonde hair down my back with some blush and eyeliner. Once done I went down stairs I saw my parent were done getting ready as well. My mom had on a black skirt with a white blouse which suited her figure perfectly and her black hair down her back. My father was dressed in jeans and a nice black dress shirt.

We all got into my fathers silver camaro and off to some coffee shop that we're suppose to meet the Goode family at. After a about 10 minutes of driving we finally got to a little coffee shop. It wasn't normally a place I would go for coffee but I think its cute. Its like one of those cute little stores that normally no one goes too. I love those places. Maybe I'll come here more often.

As soon as we got into the coffee shop my parents spotted the Goode's in the back corner of the coffee shop. I only saw what I guess is Mrs. Goode because she stood up to hug my mother. Mrs. Goode is really pretty. She has a tiny figure like my mom, long blonde hair with beautiful green eyes. She was a gorgouse women. Than what I'm guessing to be her husband stood up to shake my fathers hand. He was handsome. He was tall with brown hair and piercing blue eyes. Our parents were talking and laughing while I just awkwardly stood there and what I'm guessing to be Zachary just sat there facing the opposite way than his parents. After what felt like hours of sitting there Mrs. Goode walked up to me and gave me a hug. I awkwardly hugged her back. Once she pulled away she smiled at me.

"Oh my Cameron you're gorgoues. I mean I've seen pictures of you, but you're so much more beautiful in person." She said never breaking her smile.

"Thank you Mrs. Goode and its Cammie" I said with a genuine smile.

"Oh Its nothing sweetheart and call me Catherine." She said to me than turned around to face Zachary. "Come on Zachary come meet your bride to be!" His mother squealed. He stood up and rolled his eyes. Once I got a really good look at him. Wow. I mean. . . wow. He's hot. He's tall and muscular he has brown hair and his eyes were just like his moms, but a lighter shade they beautiful. His eyes were definitely his best feature. I was completely taking him in when I saw him smirk.

"Like what you see?" He said asked. I wanted to slap that smirk right off his face. As soon as he said that my face turned cold. I had to marry this cocky jerk. Ugh!

"I've seen better." I said and I smirk when I realized what I said got that smirk off his pretty little face.

"Awe you too are so adorable together!" My mother cooed. She had a big smile on her face and so did Mrs. Goode. My only thought was kill me now! I completely zoned out on our parents conversations. I honestly didn't care and when I did look up after about five minutes I saw that Zachary was looking at me. I felt uncomfortable under his gaze. When I looked him dead in the eyes he didn't even look away he just kept staring. I looked back down at the ground because I couldn't take his gaze. After about another five minutes I went to go get a coffee might as well since I'm here. Once I got back I head both our mothers squeal about us having a baby.

"WHAT?" Zachary and I yelled at the same time. I'm guessing he zoned out after I went to go get coffee. Our parents laugh at both of our experession, but it was Zachary's father who spoke because he was the first one to finish laughing.

"Well we must have someone to pass the business to and you would have to get alone for the sake of your child, so within your first two years of marriage you must have a child." Once Mr. Goode finshed the sentance I thought I was going to burst into tears. Zachary just stood there dumbfounded.

"Oh you two will have the most adorable children don't you think so Rachel?" Mrs. Goode asked my mother. She seemed so happy about the whole think she smiled and nodded at Mrs. Goode. I couldn't even say anything. Even if I could find the right thing to say I don't think it'd come out right.

I couldn't take being in the coffee shop talking about my wedding and my children my future, so I did the only logical thing I could think of I walked out. Didn't look back and didn't say anything just walked out the door. There were woods aross the street from the coffee shop, so I walked into the woods. I could hear everyone calling my name, but I just ignored them and kept walking. When I was close to the woods I felt someone grab my shoulder and thats when I ran into the woods. I didn't care if I got lost I just needed to get out of there as fast as I could.

When I thought I was far enought I broke down and cried. I was thankful no one could see me weak. I was just so angry how could my parents do this to me. I thought they loved me. I'm there only child how could they want me to be married and have my own child by the time I was 19. After a while a felt someone wrap there arms around me and bring me close to them. I didn't even look up to see who it was. I just turned around and cried into there shirt. Soon when the person spoke I knew it was Zachary and he just told me soothing things. After I was all cried out I was really tired, so I feel alseep to the sound of Zachary's voice.
