Chapter 1- A young girl just walked into an over seas airport. She was wearing light black jeans that were low- cut. Her top was a Carolina Blue skintight that was sleeve less that came to just above her belly button which was pierced. She had a Tommy Hilfiger dark blue jean jacket. She had on a pair of Navy blue Hilfiger sneakers on. She wore little make up. She was extremely skinny for her age. She was only 92 pounds and was 17 years old which she stood at a 5’7 ½’’. She had long light brown hair that was curly. It was down over her face somewhat. She had on a Navy blue Nike visor on covering her face along with DKNY sunglasses. She was very beautiful. She was walking through all those people in the airport. She stopped at a terminal that was going back to Orlando, Florida. She was in so much trouble leaving to go over seas with her boss. She only had her purse and a small carry on bag. Justin was sitting in an airport terminal waiting to board his plane back to Florida with his bodyguard. He was out of it and he saw this petite girl that looked no older than he was walking quickly to get the information for the flight. He thought that she was breath taking. She was beautiful in every way but in the back of his mind he thought she looked vaguely familiar in some way. Justin got up and bumped into the girl on accident. Justin: I’m sorry Girl: that’s ok Justin: are you all right Girl: yeah I’m fine Then she left to board to her seat in first class. She sat down a waiting to take off with her eyes closed trying to picture how much trouble she was going to be in. The plane had taken off about 15 minutes ago when the flight attendant came up to her Attendant: excuse me miss, but the sir over there wants you to have this She was holding out a blue Motorola Talkabout T900, and a glass of wine Girl: I’ll take this but tell that guy very nicely that I don’t drink Attendant: sure thing miss and sorry for bothering you Girl: that’s ok The girl didn’t think much about it at the time. She went back to listening to her music with her eyes closed when she heard a noise; she looked down to find that it was the Motorola. Justin wrote. Justin: hi, I’m sorry for knocking into you and my name is Justin Girl: that’s ok and I don’t drink Justin: either do I, you have a name Girl: yeah my name is Melissa Justin: that’s a very beautiful name Melissa Melissa: thank you Justin: why are you over here Melissa: had to visit my grandma for personal reasons Justin: oh I was over here for sight seeing Melissa: that’s cool, where do you live Justin: in Orlando Mel: wow so do I Justin: that’s cool They talked for the next hour Mel: should I give this back to you Justin: no just keep it, we can keep in contact Mel: I don’t know about that Justin: why not Mel: because I’m going to be in loads of trouble when I get home Justin: what for if you don’t mind me asking Mel: I left the country without telling my boss and with the job I have, I can’t do that and he is going to get pissed Justin: oh sorry what’s your job Mel: not going there Justin: ok sorry can I have you phone number then Mel: I guess its ---------, and ------------ Justin: would you like to sit next to me Mel: I guess as long as you’re not a stalker Justin: I’m not, do you have a boyfriend Mel: no I don’t do you have a girlfriend Justin: no Melissa moved her seat and had good conversation with Justin. They hit it off real quick. Justin and Melissa went back to sleep for the rest of the trip. They talked when they landed. They walked out talking and as soon as Melissa saw reporters she left immediately to find Patrick. Justin called her name but he followed her, He saw her hug this boy about 6”2” that had light brown hair and was well built and then he saw her go out with him. He saw that there was a girl with 2 red motor cycles. The girl got on the back of one and then Patrick got on the front of that. He rode off. Megan pulled her hair back after taking off her visor to but her helmet on. After that she strapped her stuff in when Justin came out Justin: what are you doing Mel: I’m going home, sorry Justin but call me or IM or something if you want and just to let you know Patrick is a friend, got to go before I get into more trouble had a nice time talking with you. With that she turned on the motor cycle and left. She had to go back to the compound where she temperately lived but she had her own house. Mel parked the bike and walked into the house with the helmet under her arm. She walked into the dinning room to find about 5 people there one being her boss. Mel: hello, Johnny, Kathleen, Alyssa, Michael, and Darren Johnny: Melissa its good to finally have you here Mel: I know Johnny: well you better be sorry because you had 3 interviews in the past 3 days and you 4 rehearsals that you missed Mel: I’m not sorry, I had to do what I had to do, and I went over to see my grand mother for personal reasons Johnny: do you mind telling me Mel: yeah I do and I really don’t want to get into it Johnny: ok but you will tell me at dinner. I lost all my trust you; I had to take some action. You are grounded from your house; you are grounded to the compound and to your old room where you will spend the next 3 weeks before the tour. If you have a boyfriend then you may not see him, you may not go out with anyone, we are taking away your cell phones, computer, lab top, and any other electronic devises, the only time you leave this house is for press or rehearsals. You will not have anyone over and I’m taking away all your means of transportation. You may read or do business or college but nothing else till the tour and then maybe more Mel: like I suspected and I didn’t mean to cause this but I sincerely hope you believe me that I left on personal business Johnny: ok Mel dinner is at 6 don’t be late 45 minutes in Mel’s room Mel: I mean they could have done worse Patrick: well at least they didn’t go as far your parents did Mel: don’t go there Patrick: I’m sorry, how are you holding up Mel: I’m sitting here laying on my old bed when I first moved into the compound and I’m not suppose to talk to you or use any other electronic devises how do you think Patrick: just be strong little one Mel: don’t worry, I have to go and thanks for picking me up bye Patrick: bye and I love you Mel: me too Mel hung up the phone to get ready for dinner. She wore a long skirt with a nice top with sandals and her hair down. She didn’t bother with the make- up because she knew that she looked horrible. At dinner Johnny: are you going to tell me or am I going to have to suspend more things from you Mel: it’s none of your business Johnny: I’m not trying to be mean why can’t you tell me Mel: what do you want me to say my past was about. Johnny: I would like an explanation about your stunt Mel: ok fine do you want me to tell you that my parents hated me to high heavens because I was a girl and they beat me for 13 years for being me. That they hit be for being smart. They hit me for being late or doing anything. That I wasn’t aloud to have any one over wasn’t aloud to have a boyfriend, or stay after school. Wasn’t aloud to be smart or do anything. DO you think your stunt that you have me on will make any bit of difference because I spent 4 days locked in closets, rooms, or anything without any food or anything. My parents never loved me, never once told me and when I went back to them after a year they said if I signed those contracts to become a singer they would disown me and make my life a living hell no matter what. And guess what, not living with them for 2 straight years now they come back to me and are taking me to court because they don’t think I’m old enough to own a house and all of this other shit. Now you sit here and take away my privilege to dance and sing, those 2 are my passion. Even though I lived in the ghetto and on the wrong side of town and going to an almost all colored school. It didn’t change me; I learned to protect myself. I got into some bad shit over there and yet I’m still standing. Ballet and regular dancing was taken away from me and then I still did it and other people started to except it that a white girl can dance and take care of her self. Hell no, no one wants to hear that. Now since you made me tell you what do you think I left the states without telling you. Now you see why I didn’t open up to anyone for the first 4 months of the contract it was hard for me. If you don’t mind I’m leaving so I don’t make an even bigger scene. Melissa got up and so did Johnny, everyone was shocked that Melissa had went through that. The group knew that her parents were millionaires but still you would have never expected that.
