"I can't believe you! You little shit! Your so annoying, Raina! Do you know that?! Can't you see that no one here likes you?!" Parker shouted in my face.

I looked around, everyone was here. His friends, family, maids and butlers were all here but they didn't step in to help me. I hated the feeling of being neglected or even alone.

Ronald stared at me but he didn't do anything to help. If he did, he would be punished too. He was only here to pay off a family debt so I guess he shouldn't be getting in trouble because of me.

"Don't just sit there! Clean up this damn mess!" Parker's voice boomed and I slowly get up. I rush to the bathroom and wash off my hands. Tears went down my face in embarrassment but also pain.

Parker was mad because I ruined his party by dropping one of his plates. He had a million but he got mad over one. He ended up pushing me to the floor and I cut my hand on a piece of plate.

I put a band aid on my hand and grab a broom as I run to the big kitchen and clean up the mess.

The maids laughed at me and one even stabbed me with her broom. I ignored it because I knew no one would care.

"Are you okay?" Ronald whispered and I nodded. He kept sweeping and mopping as maids made more food for the hundreds of guest.

"Don't cry baby." He said, that was his nickname for me. He called me baby because he met me when I was about 5. When I came here and had been suffering since.

"I'm fine, Ronald. I just have to get out of this wretched place. I'm going to run away one day and find my mommy." I whispered, watching my tone because the other maids would tell if they heard me.

"I always wanted to get away but my family owes a debt and I have to pay it off. It's living hell here." Ronald said with a smile before hugging me and lightly kissing the cut on my hand.

"Get better soon, baby." He said before walking around the corner and into a different room.

I sighed and tried to stop the bleeding but it wouldn't go away. I don't mean huge loads of blood but just tiny dots here and there. But the thought and sight of blood just madee cringe.

"Hurry up, we aren't taking our sweet little time," The head made Geanda said. She was short and blonde with big brown eyes. Everyone called her mean because well she was mean. Especially to me.

"I'm not taking my time. I'm going as fast as I can Geanda," I place the broom to my hip and dump the plate pieces in the garbage. "It's not like your doing anything."

She laughed then stopped laughing. "Look here, you ain't like us. We here and we get special treatment you just a middle class." Her maid friends laughed at me and I started laughing.

"Then how come your serving a first class if your a first class too?," I acted like I was thinking. "Maybe its just because I'm twelve. But how come my boobs are still bigger?" I laughed. "But anyway I'm going, bye bye middle class maids." I laughed and walked away but soon ran into Parker as I rounded a corner.

He had long blonde hair that fell to his shoulders. Over the years he grew it out. He looked handsome though. He had deep blue eyes and his tall figure went over mine. He held a beer in his hand and just eyed me.

"Where you going pretty little lady? Reminding me of your momma." He drew up his hand and slowly carrassed my face.

I was shocked because usually he would hit me but he just patted my face and back.

He stopped as he looked at my dress. It was dirty because he never let me take showers or even change clothes.

He smiled like an idea popped up in his mind.

"You wanna take a shower in my bathroom?" He asked me. I was so happy that I couldn't even think about what happened. But still something inside me told me not to go.

"But don't you have a party?" I asked and he drinks the rest of the beer before throwing it at the maid.

That's how badly he treated us.

He grabbed another beer and drinks it before finally answering me. "Nah, you wanna get clean don't ya? I got something that might cheer you up." He said while latching his fingers onto my arm and dragging me upstairs.

He reeked of beer and cigarettes but I said nothing. I was excited for the shower.

Parker was finally being nice. For the years I been here he was finally nice.

We entered his room and he closed and locked the door. I wondered why but maybe he didn't want anybody to see him being nice.

"Showers over there. I got it ready for you already." He said and I nodded. I thought it was weird that he had it ready for me but I just sighed.

I close the bathroom door and take off everything before I get in the tub.

Why was Parker being so nice to me?

I keep thinking as the tub water got dirty. I washed my hair before getting out.

Surprisingly, my hair fell just behind my shoulders. It was wavy and I wrapped it in a towel I found on the counter. I look for another towel but didn't find one.

I sighed and slightly opened the door to see through the crack.

No one was in the room and the door was still closed.

I go out and wrap myself in a towel. I found underwear, a bra, blue pants and a white v neck shirt with socks and white vans.

I get dressed and put my hair in a ponytail before walking out the room.

When I opened the door I faced Parker. He looked surprise, like he had been sitting there watching me get dressed the whole time.

"U-ugh. There's a guest here to see you, Raina. Don't be bad now. Okay?" He said and smiled warmly before going back downstairs.

The party ended and the maids cleaned up the mess.

When Parker usually said that, it meant that child services were here to check up on me so I needed to look my best.

I walked down the stairs and saw someone in a orange prison suit.

Someone familiar.
