It's been two years since I got the job of my dreams but, like all dreams, they come to an end.

Although I loved my job it was hard to love my personal life as much. Catherine and her daughters still didn't agree with my career choice but it was the only thing that was mine... A-and I wouldn't trade it for anything...

Well maybe not, not anything.

My days were the same for these past couple of years. Go to work and then come back home and do my chores. Also occasionally going to the store.

I've gotten really good at saving money on the side from all the girls expenses; I bearly had any money left for me.

Doing everything myself and little time to myself was exhausting. All I ever wanted was peace and I was robbed of that too.

...

I could tell I was forgetting something and I almost couldn't remember what... Right, it's my birthday tomorrow. I would be turning twenty four.

That fact drove me mad, I was going to be twenty four and I felt like I have been missing out on everything in life.

There have been so many things I haven't done. I never had my first kiss, or love...

Oh I've always dreamed about that. Only, love stories like those only exist in books. It was all fantasy for a girl like me. Sure there were people out there who met their person and they are lucky.

The way my life is going I don't think I will ever get to experience it. All I wish for is a nice guy who will sweep me off my feet and shower me in unconditional love.

I want a guy who has passion and who is friendly, gentle and of course handsome. I was twirling in my thoughts when I came to an abrupt stop.

I had to stop doing this to myself, day after day dreaming of things that are simply to far out of my reach; it was just a hopeful filler for my depressing life.

And that's all it was just filler. I wipe a single tear that fell from my eye then I realized the kettle was overheating.

"Ay dios mio ." I said removing the kettle from the fire. I looked in the cabinet for some tea but there wasn't any, I guess I will just serve them something else and go to the store later...

...

With everything that has been going on, getting a car was out of the picture. I just took the train everywhere.

Once the train reached my stop I got off. Living in London reminded me of New York in some way. Even though I've never been but, from what I've seen on TV it looks pretty similar.

I would love to visit New York one day. I could just imagine being in the big apple, living the dream.

I sigh and make my way out of the busy train station up towards the busy streets of London. I politely make my down towards my favorite grocery store; with my favorite bakery right across. They had the best bread in the city.

I feel like I visit these places more than any other store ever.

I walk into the store and grab a basket; lord knows I would be needing it.

...

It's been a while but I think I've gotten everything I needed. Once I was done I payed and went across the street with my reusable grocery totes to buy some bread.

...

Okay, I think that's all I needed. I paused walking down the street when something in one of the show windows caught my eye.

It was a necklace, and it almost looked like the one my mother wore. I bit my lip and made my way into the store. I was nervous because the store looked really expensive.

I walked up to the man in the front. "Umm excuse me."

The man looks me up and down and says "sorry, we dont accept any beggars in our store." My cheecks go red but I persist "n-no I was just wondering h-how much that necklace costs in your window."

He then lets out another laugh "why? Do you want to buy it? Its 7,000 pounds." My jaw almost dropped, I would never be able to afford that. "O-oh oh okay, well thanks anyway." He waves me off while the other people in the store watched me leave.

It was starting to get dark, I had to get home to make dinner before I got scolded.

...

Nobody seemed to be downstairs but I just shrugged my shoulders and began to make dinner anyway. While I was making dinner I was putting away the grocerys.

...

I ended up making chicken parm pasta. Once I was done I let it sit in the oven to keep warm then made my way upstairs.

"H-hello? Dinner is finished." I called out, but no answer. Thats strange, I called out again and still no answer.

Once I made it fully up stairs I checked all of their rooms, I knocked no anwer for all of them. I walked back down to the kitchen to find a note on the fridge.

"Ella, me and the girls decided to take a last minute vacation trip to Italy. You know the rules, keep our rooms and the house spick and span until we get home. We will be back in a couple of weeks or so."

What? I should have noticed them packing, but I didn't. I guess they wont get to eat my chicken parm.

...

I grabbed myself a plate and a fork and shared out myself some chicken parm. I walked over to the dining room and sat down.

This was actually my first time in a while sitting down in the dining. They usualy didnt let me eat with them. So I just ate at the tiny table next to the window sill.

While I was eating I just remembered, it was my birthday tomorrow, but all I could think about was that necklace...
