the secret

55 game night

Zach's pov

We were in the cars  on the way home from the hospital.
Mr and Mrs Ricci, Missy and I were in one car.
The others were in different ones behind us.
Missy had fallen asleep with her head on Mr Ricci's shoulder.
She looks so peaceful when  she is asleep, but when she awake it's like she is always guarding. I wonder what happened to make her who she is.
I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard the diver say we arrived at the house.
“ Could you put Missy to bed, I would but I have to get Alessia to bed,” Mr Ricci said.
“ Yes sir, ah where is her room though?” I asked.
“ One of the maids will show you, goodnight Zach,” he said as he took Mrs Ricci into the house.
I carefully pick Missy up so I don't wake her, if she knew I was carrying her she would kill me, I thought to myself.
When I walked into the house there was a maid waiting at the end of the stairs, when she saw me she started to walk up the stairs.
When we get in front of a door she opens it then walks off.
I walked in and over to the bed and put Missy into her bed and covered her up.
“ Goodnight, love you” she said with her eyes still closed.
“ goodnight princesa” i said as I leaned down to  kissed her forehead. I don't know why I did that though.
I walked over to the door and as I was going to walk out I heard her saying something in her sleep, I decided to ignore it and just go try and sleep.
So I went to the room that they are letting me stay in while we are here.
I changed, then laid down on the bed and closed my eyes to sleep but I saw her face.
Why am I thinking about her? She hates me and I hate her, after a while  I heard a noise coming from the kitchen.
So I get up and put on my hoodie then grabbed my gun. When I got to the doorway of the kitchen I saw Missy eating. So I put my gun in the back of my pants. And walked into the kitchen.
“ What are you doing up?” I asked as I grabbed a cup to get coffee since it looks like I won't be sleeping.
   “I opened my eyes and now I’m awake Duh” she  said, rolling her eyes.
“ Well when you're done eating, try to get some more sleep,” I said.
      “So who put me to bed?” She asked.
“ ahh why do you want to know?” I asked. I don't want to die.
   “Just wondering,” she said.
“ oh ahh, I have to ah go look for something outside, see you around” I said as I started to walk away.
“It’s midnight, it’s too dark to find anything outside” she said.

“ I have a Flashlight,but  why do you ask so many questions?” I asked.
   “I’ve only asked one,” she said.
“ Actually you ask two which is two many” I said. 
  “Fine, I will ask one of the others,” she said.
Fuck why won't she just forget about it.
“Why do you want to know  so badly?” I asked.
    “because i want to know who kissed my forehead so I know if I have to dropkick them” she said.
“ahh, fine it was miles” I said.
       “Mm well are you going to go look for whatever you lost, or are you just going to stand there looking like a fucker who still thinks he’s hot shit?” She asked.
“ Yeah yeah I'm going Miss think she can boss everyone around, and pull the Boo hoo story's” I said but when I seen her face turn sad I knew I fucked up by saying that.
      “At least I know how to care about people,” she said. She is right about that.
“ Missy, I didn't mean to say that, I just don't think half the time, if I  said something wrong let me know” I said and turned and walked away.
I don't know how to care, because I've never had to care for anyone. Honesty I've been a loner ever since I was a kid. Since I didn't actually lose anything  outside  I just  walked around for a little bit.
I decided to go look around the backyard, when I saw Missy sitting by the pool.
“ I thought you was going to bed after you ate?” I asked  as I sat next to her.
“I’m not tired,” she said.
“ ohh, look you are right I don't know how to care about anyone, i never had anyone to show me how to care about others,” I said.
“I didn’t mean it, most of the time I say stuff I don’t mean” she said, still looking at the pool.
“ I know but it's true, I get that” I said.
“Why do you say you didn’t have anyone to show you how to care? What was your childhood like?” She asked.
