When Ingrid was distracted with the girls, Bella, herself had called a friend over.

'So Jackson, how's your new job going?'

She poured him a drink and he rolled his eyes, 'it's going okay'.

'Okay?... What's wrong?'

'Well'.

He tapped his fingernails on the porcelain cup, 'it's not what I expected.

'How so?'

He sighed, 'look, I'm not the photographer, I'm... Just an assistant, I haven't even touched a camera yet'.

Bella shook her head, 'Jackson, you've just got this job, I think they just want to make sure that you're up for it, it might be a one month probation of something, I've been in jobs like that before'.

'Which you've succeded in'.

'That's just me Jackson, you need to think about you'.

She had known Jackson for three years, Bella had bumped into him at a cafe after he spilt her drink... Which was fine, before he had a massive meltdown and ran out the back.
Bella had spoken to him and asked him out, on a friendly basis and then they never left each other side, it was only three years, but they had been through so much.

'I've been so excited that I didn't even think about how much work I had to do to get to that position that I'm after'.

'I can tell, this is a serious job for you, but how do you feel about it? Do you think you'll go ahead with it?'

Jackson huffed, 'well of course! I'm willing to go through with it, it's going to be mentally challenging for sure!'
Bella gently punched him in the shoulder, 'well if you have your off days, come talk to me, I'm free whenever, work's been wanting me to work at home for a while'.

'Sounds like a plan'.

Bella had the girls scream and Jackson burst out laughing, 'are they usually like that?'

'Yes, I had to get use to it, I know I wasn't like that-'.

It was when Ingrid had frantically called Bella's name, did she drop her things and rush up the stairs to where the girls were, Jackson wasn't too far behind.
The girls were staring at the window when Bella burst into the room, 'what! What's going on!?' She yelled, her eyes looking over to the window. Ingrid pointed to it, 'there was someone out there! A man, he was staring at us!'

'What?'

The girls screamed after Bella who made her way over to the window, not daring to open it because duh.
She briefly looked through the glass before making sure the it was locked and closed the blinds.

'Ingrid, I told you to keep the blinds closed when it gets dark alright? Now, you girls, come down stairs, you'll be sleeping near my room'.

A man looking through the window? He was on the roof? Not possible... Right?
