Pretend Mr X actually talks to the son and stuff here.
"Grayer, Son I'm home!" I immediately recognised the voice. My father. I excused myself and headed for my room.
(Back to the father)
"How's my favourite kid hmm?" Grayer giggled. "I'm good daddy!" "You must be the new nanny then." Then walked off. Annie frowned when he didn't mention his own daughter. Or even go to say hi. Annie looked around and noticed the girl was gone.
Annie walked to your room and opened the door. Lucky for you, you just took out the one piece of homework. "Hey where did you go?" Annie asked you gently sitting down on your bed. "I forgot I had homework to do so.." Annie decided not to push and just nod. "Want to order something?" She smiled. "If you want, what would you like?" "I could go for some chicken." You nodded. I go to order it before she says anything. You went back to doing homework and you both sat in silence.
You heard footsteps coming and you looked towards the door. "I thought you'd be here. You know you really need to get out more. Anyway, I need you to do a job for me." You nodded. "Answer me when I speak to you." He raised his voice slightly. "Yes father" you quickly said. He gave you the job (make it up) and kept talking to you. Annie watched the interaction. She noticed that spoke to you like you were a piece of trash. She noticed that he walked away.
The front door slammed shut. "You okay?" Annie asked me. I nodded and got back to my homework. Then the doorbell went off. "Get Grayer and I will get that." I announced. We sat in silence. Then Annie put him to bed and I did the same as last night. I went to say goodnight to Grayer and closed the door behind me.
Annie was there with the phone on speaker. "Here she is" Annie said but kept it on speaker. "CHARLOTTE!" Oh she was mad but you didn't know why. "Yes mother?" "I TOLD YOU TO HAVE THE FRENCH PASTA BUT WHAT DID YOU DO, YOU ORDER KFC?!" You winced at her voice. "Sorry mother." You said. "You should be more like your brother." She hissed and ended the call. Annie looked shocked. You ran to the bathroom and locked the door. Annie ran after you. "Let me in Char." She said gently. "No!" You sobbed out. You were just compared to your brother. I mean what did you expect it's Grayer. Then there's you. The failure. The mistake.
An hour has went by and you unlocked the door. Annie came in and sat down next to you and rubbed your back. "You shouldn't listen to her, your an amazing young girl you hear me?" You nodded and shoved your head in her chest. She comforted you and she noticed you fell asleep on her lap. She smiled and picked you up. You were actually quite light so it was easy to carry you. And small so also easier. She tucked you into bed. "Night Annie" You mumbled. She smiled. "Night Char." She pushed strands of hair out your face. The last thing you felt before drifting of was the feeling of Annie's lips kissing your head.
