Someone has been in my room. I panicked. I was scared if someone was going to pop out and capture me. So I carefully walked all over my room. I just remembered that I had Zak's letter in my right hand.

So I put the letter down on my bed. I checked to see if any clothes or important belongings were taken. Nothing. That was a huge relief. I put everything neatly back in it's place. Even all of my corsets had a place of their own. I looked on my dresser.

My journal was wide open. I gasped. All of my secrets were in this journal. My darkish red journal. It didn't have a lock on it. I got this journal for my 16th birthday.

I've used this journal ever since. Nothing else. But in this journal had all of my secrets that I have. And now someone knows them. I panicked. I looked in my closet. I had a glove missing. But it wasn't my best glove. I put the glove without it's partner back in it's place. I keep everything organized. I didn't want everyone to panic now, after what happened earlier with me. Then I heard from downstairs, a knock on the door. I quietly opened the door a little just enough so I can hear. "Why. Hello. Please sir. Come in." I head my butler said. "Yes. Is Miss. Allison home?" The mysterious voice from below said.

"Oh yes. She is upstairs in her room." My nurse said. "Well. I would like to have a work with her. Please?" The man said. "I will bring her right down sir?" My nurse said. Then I heard her coming up the stairs. I quickly turned away from the door, and went in y closet to chose an outfit. You never show a man your nightclothes. Unless you are married. It just worked like that.

Then my nurse knocked on the door. "Yes. Come in." I said. Then my nurse camee in. "Miss. Allison. Someone id here to see you." she said. "Oh yes? Who?" i said turning my head and looking at her. My nurse tied my corset on. "Breathe in deep Miss." And I did. She tied it on tight. But I was use to it. "Please my dear nurse. Tell me. Who is the man downstairs." I said. She fixed my hair. "A man who is very handsome and who the lady adores very much." I looked at the note on my bed. I got the letter. "Is the man downstairs Mr. Bagans?" I said. "Yes ma'am." my nurse said. My heart began to race. I thought he was already on his way to London. But maybe before he leaves he wants to see me. "What is her here for?" I said sitting looking into the mirror. Looking at my own reflection.

But all I saw in my reflection is a girl. Not a woman. Just a girl. A girl who soon needs to grow up, and find a husband. But what if Mr. Bagans is soon to be my husband? Or maybe someone else? But I just see my pale face, with my little head. Oh how I did hate the way I looked. But I won't let that get to my head now. Because, once soon that if it's in my head, it shows on my face.

"Good nurse. Tell me. Why is Mr. Bagans here?" My nurse stopped whatever she was doing. I turned and looked at her. "I don't know Miss. I only know that he needs to speak to you. That's all he has told me. And I told him that I will bring you down. Now hurry. He is waiting." So I quickly finished getting ready. And I went out my bedroom door. I then came to the foot of the stairs. I was wearing a dark blue dress, with just a little bit of black lace. I wore the matching shoes of course. Zak was pacing. Then my butler coughed. Zak looked at my butler, then my Butler looked at me, then Zak looked at me. His gorgeous eyes just made me want to run up and kiss him. But I held my ground. I kept his letter in my hands. I walked down the stairs. Zak slowly walked up and stretched out his hand. I took his hand. "Hello Mr. Bagans. How are you?" I said in the best sweetest tone I can. (Not too southern. British.) Zak smiled. I smiled with him. "I am very good Miss. Allison. How are you is the most important question that I may ask." Zak said. I made a little laugh. " I am very well Mr. Bagans. Thank you." Zak bowed, and I curtsied.

"Um. Mr. John. May you take us to the family room please." I said. Mr. John bowed and leaded us to the Family room. Zak and I were walking side by side. As we made our way to the family room, I had memories of what happened last time. I just hope that it dosen't happen again.

Mr. John opened the family room doors and moved aside. "Ladies first." Zak said stretching out his arm aside. "Thank you." I said. And I walked into the family room. Zak entered behind me. I turned around and looked at him. He had his hands behind his back, and he had a serious face on. "Please. Have a seat Mr. Bagans." I said taking a seat in the family couch. Zak took a seat. It was quiet. So I had to break the silence. "So Mr. Bagans. What brings you here at this time of the hour?" I said. Zak was looking as me. Which made me only a little nervous. "Oh. I just came to tell you something." He then got up out of his seat and sat next to me. Close. "I see you have gotten my letter." I nodded my head. Zak continued. "I really came here to tell you that when I return from London, I want to take you on a visit to the countryside in Northern Whales. And we will spend a weekend there." he said. I was in schock. "Mr. Bagans. I think not." I got up out of my seat and walked towards the fireplace. "I mean. We barley know each other. I would like to know you more. But soon. Soon We shall go to the countryside., Together. But not just right now." I said. Zak sighed. "Your right Miss. Allison. I've been too quick in my actions. I'm sorry. Now I shall leave for London. Goodbye Miss. Allison." Zak said. He got out of his seat. He came up to me and gently grabbed my hand and kissed it. The feel of his lips on my skin, was like the smell of a fresh rose when it's fully bloomed. "Goodbye Miss. Allison." Zak said. "Goodbye Mr. Bagans." I said. Then I heard him left. I sighed and let my head down. I was ashamed, but I told the truth. Oh what have I done. I then heard his carriage leave. And after a few minutes have passed, I decided to go to a close friends house. My friend Angelica's house.

So I got into my carriage, and left to go to her house. It's around tea time, so it's perfect. "Nurse. I'm going to Angelica's house for tea. I shall return." I said. I can go to Angelica's house without a nurse. And with that, I got in the carriage and left.
