[A/N] Ian's necklace in the photo
Ian's POV~
The next morning I got up at 6 am. Going downstairs I head towards the kitchen. As I entered I saw the answering machine blinking. Walking over to it I pushed the button.
"YOU HAVE ONE NEW MESSAGE," the machine said in its robotic voice, "NEW MESSAGE, 'Hey Ian it's me your dad. Your mom and I would be coming home today at around seven in the afternoon. See you soon son. Bye.' END OF MESSAGE," the machine then let out a long beep indicating that there are no more messages.
The sound of a door closing and objects rattling soon fill the sound of my empty home. The noise seems to be coming from the living room. Walked into the living room I was ready to fight the intruder. Instead, I see a small Mexican woman with black and gray hair standing in the middle of my living room. The woman was carrying a bucket with sponges and spray bottles, and a bag that was filled with rags and more bottles. She carefully put the bucket and bag down at her feet. As she turned around I soon recognized her face.
"Rosa!" I called out to the woman. I quickly ran up to her and hugged her. You probably think I'm weird for hugging some complete stranger, but she isn't a stranger she's my family's maid. She has been working with us for about five years now. Even though she works for my family she is still treated like she is one of the family. She probably came here to make sure every thing was spotless for my parent's arrival.
"Hola Ian. How are you?" she said hugging me back.
"I'm good. How are you?" I asked moving back so I can look at her better.
"I'm good," she said looking at me with a huge smile. Rosa then started moving towards her bag.
"Oh! Uh. . . I'll try to get here as soon as I can to help you clean," I said running to my room to get my bag. Once I got to my room I went to the bathroom. Brushing my teeth and combing my hair quickly before grabbing my bag from my desk and going back to the kitchen. Rosa was sitting at one of the chairs from the island, drinking some coffee.
"I'll be back as soon as I can Rosa. Please don't work yourself too hard. When I come back I'll take care of the big jobs," I told her.
"Okay, Ian. Now go to school or you'll be late," she said as she started pushing me out the door
"Fine. It's nice to see you again. I'll see you when I get back," I told her grabbing my car keys and heading out the door.
The reason why I'm going to help her is that Rosa is very old and getting older. It's also my mess, not her's. I should be the one cleaning the house, not her.

As I came up to the school I heard someone call my name from behind. Turning around I see Ethan walking towards me. I slowly walked towards him meeting half way from where he was. As I neared him I opened my arms to give him a hug.
"Hey Ethan," I said into his chest.
"Hey, Ian. You wanna hang out after school today?" he asked me wrapping his arms around me.
"I'd love to. But I can't," I said unwrapping my arms from him. Turning towards the school we both head inside.
"Why?"
