Chapter 3: One Kiss From You

Dear Diary,

Today, well…

I…


Mia entered the school in the morning, tired and depressed. Her father had given her yet another lecture about how to be a "proper lady" when she was older. And now, she found herself thinking about the incident that had happened the day before. She remembered the touch of his soft lips, and suddenly wanted more.

I'm dreaming of one kiss from you
A love long and true
We'll go on and on and…

Mia wandered round the school in a daze that day. Her new friends were worried about her. She seemed to daydream all the time, and didn't pay attention in her lessons.

I don't wanna hear that I'm too young
To know it's love that makes me feel this way
'Cause I don't have to feel the heat of the sun
To know it's shining on me every day
When it's warm outside
And the look in your eyes
Is longing to show me the way
I don't want to wait

Mia sighed as she walked slowly away from the school at the end of the day, her head still in the clouds. Unknown to her, she was being followed…

Just one kiss from you, a
nd suddenly I see the road laid out in front of me
You give me strength, y
ou give me hope
And when you hold me in your arms
You make me whole
And I don't know just what I would do
Without one kiss from you

Taking a trip down memory lane brought tears to Mia's eyes.

Flashback…

Mia was born into an influential, aristocratic family. Her father was, after all, the boss of Vale Enterprises, one of the most successful companies in the world. And her mother was a doctor.

Mia sighed. Her fourteenth birthday was fast approaching, and she wondered what her parents would get her. She was so excited. But her life was to be crushed before her on the same day. That fateful day, Mia awoke to the singing to birds outside her window. She glanced out, seeing the countryside, beautiful and untouched. Jumping up, Mia smiled and quickly ran down the stairs, thrill and exhilaration getting to her. It was only dawn, and she wasn't supposed to be up yet. Her parents weren't expecting her.

I don't wanna hear m
y time will come
When it feels like it's already here
We should learn to w
alk before we run
But why go anywhere when you're so near
'Cause when I r
each out to you
So sad and confused
And feeling like I could cry
You dry my eyes

Mia approached the living room, and heard her parents talking.

"She's fourteen now, Marie, she's old enough. I am seriously thinking about getting her betrothed to that young lad. He is very respectable, and is the son of a powerful business. His family is rich, you know that! I'm sure Mia will love him. And it will benefit me too."

Mia felt a lump rise in her throat as she heard the sickening words. Betrothed? Benefit him? What the hell?

"But Ben, she's so young!"

"Nothing wrong with getting her betrothed early. And she's our only daughter, Marie. We must make good use of her."

The words struck at Mia's open and vulnerable heart. "Make good use of her", her father had said.

"But Ben, you can't! Not to him!" Mia's mother was crying.

Mia felt herself breaking, bit by bit. And all this time, she had thought her father truly loved her.

End of flashback…

Just one kiss from you, a
nd suddenly I see the road laid out in front of me
You give me strength, y

And when you hold me in your arms
You make me whole
And I don't know just what I would do
Without one kiss from you

Flashback…

A month after the incident, Mia was betrayed by her supposed best friend. Mia had trusted her, and she had turned her back.

"Hey, you, rich girl!" a guy called out down the corridor of lockers. Mia ignored him. Everyone was staring now. "Hey, I'm talking to you!" he yelled again. He began to walk up to Mia. She clutched her books and pretended to be busy with her locker. Now, he was next to her. "You. I heard that your "daddy" is going to betroth you to some other rich guy. Looks like you're not so great after all. You're just his toy. Your life's a complete lie."

Mia turned and faced him, fire burning in her blue eyes. "How does he know?" she thought.

"Don't you dare say that!" she spat. "Get lost."

The boy smirked. "And why would I want to do that?" he grabbed Mia's arm. "Come with me."

Mia was horrified. "Get off me!" she struggled, but he was just stronger.

"Don't resist, you know you can't." He continued to drag her down the corridor. Mia cried out, and called to her friend, but she just stared at her, eyes void of emotion. That was when Mia realised she had betrayed her by telling the whole school her secrets. No one helped the poor girl as she was taken away. Slowly, Mia was pulled into darkness.

End of flashback…

I'm dreaming of one kiss from you
A love long and true
We'll go on and on and…
I'm looking for one kiss goodnight
To last all my life
On and on and…

Flashback…

Mia awoke in an uncomfortable bed, and shot up, alarmed. Where was she? She looked at herself. She was completely naked. Suddenly, the night's incidents came rushing back, and tears welled up in her eyes. She noticed him sleeping on the bed, and after grabbing her clothes, she did a runner.

Finally, she broke down when she fell into the arms of her mother.

End of flashback…

Just one kiss from you, and suddenly I see the road laid out in front of me
You give me strength, y
ou give me hope
And when you hold me in your arms
You make me whole
And I don't know just what I would do
Without one kiss from you

Flashback…

Mia's life was in tatters. The people in school thought she was a snob, her friends turned away, her parents ruined her life, and she felt so alone.

Mia was summoned to the living room. Her father and mother were there. "What's the matter?" Mia frowned. The question was more directed at her mother. She had never trusted her father since…

"Mia, we've decided to move house." Mia's father declared.

"Move house?!" Mia was shocked.

"Yes, dear." Mia's mother seemed ready for an onslaught her daughter would do upon her husband. It had happened many times after Mia's fourteenth birthday, and Mia had always been slapped or hurt afterwards for retorting.

But to her surprise, Mia didn't turn rebellious. "Good." Mia muttered.

"Good." Mia's father nodded, echoing her words. "We go next Sunday." Mia's mother sighed.

"Finally," Mia thought, "I can get away from this place. I can run away from my past."

End of flashback…



I'm looking for one kiss goodnight
To last all my life

Suddenly, Mia heard a rustle of leaves. Whipping around, she came face to face with...

"Isaac?"
