  The only themes we can use on free hosted WordPress.com blogs like your blog are the themes found here http://wordpress.com/themes/

  There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.com blogs for security reasons and we cannot:

  upload any third party themes,
  create child themes,
  create our own themes,
  edit templates,
  create own own layouts,
  or use stylesheets from other themes.

  There is no upgrade you can purchase that changes that. WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can create themes, upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, and edit the database, etc. Learn about the differences here. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  I guess I bought the theme on the wrong site organic themes.com. Is there anyways to not have to buy the same theme again through wordpress?

  There is no way to do that. Get your money back from the seller. IF the theme is available for WP.com it will be on your dashboard Themes page. You’ll have to re-buy it there if it’s even there.
