Dollar Daughter

Chapter 6.

My father is such a devil! I just hope that God doesn't give anyone a father like him. What if I died in the roof? What if anything happened to me? Did he even think about me before leaving?

Honestly, I hate him.

These are the first thoughts I am having after taking a long nap.
There is a knock on my door. "Come in." I said. Elliot walks in.
"Someone is here to meet you." Said Elliot. Then the boy who saw me on the party night walks in. Elliot addressed him as Jake Sheldon.

I jump off the bed. "Why?! Get out! Now!" I start to panic. And without even thinking, I grab a pillow from the bed and throw it at Elliot. Elliot grabs it.

"Calm down. Your father won't know about me." Said Jake.
"Would you please calm down. Creep." Elliot said to me.

Elliot then introduces me to Jake. But even though father is not here. I am still afraid that he might find out.

"Sad that you have a dad like this." Said Jake.
"Why did you come to meet me?" I asked.
"Because me and Elliot have a plan." Replied Jake.

Elliot smirks.

Something is not good.

"What plan?" I asked.
"Plan to take you out of this mansion. Uncle isn't here for another week. He has to go to another place for a deal. So, its the perfect time to take you out." Said Elliot.

Suddenly, I get excited and happy at the same time. I will go out of this place. Finally. And Dad isn't here. I won't be caught. This is the only thing that isn't making me afraid.

"We'll take you out. Tonight." Said Elliot.
"Where?" I asked.
"Somewhere." Said Elliot.

Elliot and Jake then leaves. I am left alone in my room. Jake seems nice. I can trust him. I thought.

*-*-*

"You ready?" Asked Jake.
"I'm not going to a war that I should be ready." I answered.

Me, Jake and Elliot are hiding in the bushes which are near the Anderson mansion entrance gate.

Its night.

"Why are we even hiding here?" I asked Elliot. "The thorns are killing me." I said. Even though I am wearing jeans, the thorns of the bushes are pinching me.

"Shhh. Keep quiet." Said Elliot.
"Don't shhh me!" I replied.
"Shut up. We are waiting for mom to leave." Said Elliot.

We wait for more 15 minutes. Then Aunt Natalia's car drives out.

"Elliot. Aunt Natalia just left. Can we go now?" I asked.
"No. We need to distract the guard first." He said.
"Why can't you both just take me in your car?" I asked.

"We can't. All the drivers are aware of you. And we both are only 15. We can't even drive properly." Said Jake.
"Jerks." I mumbled.

"Jake you go and distract the guard." Said Elliot.
"No big deal." Said Jake smiling.

Jake then walks over to the guard. He then takes out a bundle of dollars from his pockets and hands it over to the guard. At first, the guard seems confused. But then Jake explains something to him and he smiles. A gesture that he has excepted the offer.

Jake then walks towards our direction. "Done!" Said Jake. Elliot doesn't seem okay. "I told you to distract him." Elliot said biting his lip.

"Why take the harder way when you can work out way more easily with money?" Said Jake smirking.

"Asshole." Replied Elliot.

I laugh.

*-*-*

After getting out of the mansion, we start to walk. I am using the hoodie of my jacket. Elliot then takes it off. "You don't have to put this on anymore. No more hiding."

I manage a smile.

There are plenty of buildings. People are walking on the streets. Cars waiting for the signal to turn green. Busy life.

All these just makes me more excited.
As we are walking I decide to break the silence, "So.. Your name is Jake Sheldon?" I asked. "Nope. His actual name is Jai Karen Sheldon. Which he changed." Said Elliot. Elliot loves making fun of people. Jake doesn't say anything. That means its true.

We stop in front of an old house. "We are here." Said Elliot knocking on the door.
The door opens. An old man stands. He has gray hair. Wrinkled face.
"Come in." He said.

We enter the house.

"Who's house is this Elliot?" I asked.
"Look over there." Said Elliot with his fingers pointing towards an old photoframe which stands on a table.

I get closer to see a better view. There is a picture of a young women.

My mother.

I burst into tears. My mother. This was her house. She lived here. Suddenly all of this makes sense. The smell of dust, the cracking sound of the door, all are the memories left of my mother, all are the memories left, here.

I turn towards the old man. "Who are you?" I asked in a sobbing voice.
"I am Ronald. The caretaker of this house." He replied.
"Did you know my mother?" I asked.
"I did know Miss Laura. She was the one who hired me." Replied Ronald.

"Can you tell me about her?" I asked.
"All I can say is that my relationship with her was of servent and master. Nothing else. No one in her family is alive now." He said.

After hearing this I run out of the house. Its enough for today. Elliot and Jake run after me. "Lilith! Stop!" I hear Elliot scream.

I finally stop in front of an ice-cream shop. "Stop...it...will...you?" Elliot asked pantingly. Its takes him a few minutes to breathe normally.

"Do you want some ice-cream?" Asked Elliot.
I nod.
"I'll go get some." Saying this he left.

"Are you alright? We just wanted to..." I didn't let Jake finish.

"I'm Okay." I said.

"No your not."
"There is always some truth behind just kidding, knowledge behind I don't know, emotion behind I don't care and pain behind I'm okay." Said Jake.

The boy has a gift with words.

But he is right. I'm not okay.
