^^This is the 3rd floor, L= lounge, SR= storage room, JO= James's office, MR= Meeting room, TR= Tech room

Allison's Pov-

This time when I open my eyes, instead of the movie room, I see my bedroom.

How did I get here?

It seems my brothers find it funny to move me while I sleep, just so I can wake up and feel extremely disoriented.

If only I was strong enough to move those giants. And yes, I'm short, but I'm also 12!

Whatever, right now, I need to go and figure out what day it is.

Ow ow ow oooh crap. Kinda forgot about my uh, my... past life?

My ribs HATE ME! And my foot!

I stand up from my bed, then I find my backpack, and the painkillers inside.

I take 2, then J go back to my original plan, albeit this time slower.

I walk downstairs and into the kitchen, but the only people there were a few maids, and I tried to talk to them, but they just didn't talk to me.

I mean, they acknowledged me, they turned and slightly bowed their heads, but then they just moved on to wherever they were going.

So I move into the living room, where I see Ethan.

"Hey tree."

He looks up,
"Tree?"

I shrug,
"Yeah, you remind me of a tree a little bit. You're always very calm, and go-with-the-flow-y. You also have green eyes which only add to your tree look. Oh, and, every time I've seen you, you have been wearing a green or plant covered shirt. Oh, but, sorry if that's a rude comparison. Honestly it's actually a compliment. I like how calm you are. And you're nice and caring and I haven't known you for longer than a few days so I don't know that much about you, but you are probably many other cool attributes, I just haven't spent a lot if time with you. But speaking of that I would like to spend more time with you, and as long as it isn't Tuesday then I don't have anything to do, what do you want to do?"

I take a few breathes before he answers.

"Well. First off, thank you, you can call me tree all you like. Second off, it is Monday, 4 o'clock. Third off, yes, I would love to spend time with you. And since it's only 21 degrees out. Oh, well in fahrenheit it would be 70 degrees. I was just about to go outside, join me?"

I nod and smile lightly. He returns it as he stands up and holds out his hand. I stare at it for a few seconds, unsure.

But then I look into his eyes. The twin seas of green. There's no malice there.

Wow. I should be a poet.

I grab ahold of his hand and he leads me out to the backyard. But this time, instead of heading to the cemetery, we go to the other side.

This time, instead of hedge, there's only a white fence, which Ethan holds open for me.

Looking around, there are gorgeous plants everywhere.

All kinds of roses, orchids, dahlias, daisies, lilies, and many flowers that I don't know the name of.

"What is this place?"

"This, is my garden."

My eyes widen,
"Did you plant all of these?"

He nods. Then he walks over to a table, full of meticulously placed planting tools.

But he passes by all of those, to grab a ruler, notebook and pen from inside a box which is under the table.

Then he goes around measuring the plants, then writing stuff down, then the next plant.
