Chapter ten: Hold on

Chapter ten

Hold on, everything is going to be alright

Pain is beautiful. Have you wondered how something so painful can be turned into something so lyrically beautiful like a song or a painting? And how funny is it when in someone else's pain we find our hope. – Life being told by a teen

If this was another case, I would have made my questions without a hesitation. I wouldn't have to worry about their feelings because that just wasn't in my list. I wouldn't care because at the end of day, I was going to get paid. But since this was Theresa I had to be careful. My head was at stake. No matter how practical I wanted to be I couldn't. My mind constantly worried how Josh and Theresa would react. Suddenly their emotions were important to me. I had two months and only two days had passed. The two of the longest day ever. So many things happened. So much had I felt in these two days? These two days had been a turmoil of emotions for me.

I wanted to end this trip. I was exhausted. I decided to go Theresa's house because I had to sort things out. I had to keep up my will power.

I rang the doorbell, this time I told my driver to go because I intended to stay as long as I could.

Theresa's mom opened the door. She smiled widely at me. For a second I thought that she didn't believe I was here. '

"Anna thank you so much. I never thought you would come back. "

I hugged her. I assured her that I wasn't going to give up on this. A little part of me knew, I wasn't going to give up on her daughter.

"I brought cake." I lifted my hand.

"Theresaaaa, come downstairs! Look who is here?"

"Mother nature?" Theresa rolled her eyes. She slowly came downstairs. I could clearly see her emotions. First curiosity. Then scowl and lastly anger.

"You"

"Hi it's me..."

"The bitch. I know."

"I meant what are you doing here?"

"I am here because of the project."

"Oh the lame American thing."

"Be good to her Theresa. She is our guest. " Her mom scolded. "So.. How are you Theresa?" I asked in hope for a normal answer.

"Dying. " Her mom scowled at her. I was just freezed in my position.

To change the subject, I lifted my hands and said:

"I brought cake. I hope you like it."

"Too bad, I am lactose intolerant."

"Since when?" Her mom asked surprised.

"But your report said that you were only allergic to peanuts." I said looking straight her into her eyes.

Theresa bit her lower lip speechless and glared at me. I knew that I had won this one.

Her mom disappeared to the kitchen with the cake.

"Fine. You think you know so much. Stupid Anna."

For the first time, she said my name. I didn't know if I should be happy or taken aback.

She ran upstairs to her room. And I followed her. I was starting think it was a bad idea to come back. Maybe I could just give up.

She left her room door open. And not slam it like she did it the last time. I thought as an invitation to her room. But this was Theresa here! She wouldn't anything unexpected. She was the unexpected.
