I walked into my room stunned.
'Maybe it won't be so bad here; he seems nice.' I thought.
"Carson would have had a fit." I whispered picturiong him in my mind with Bret standing next to him letcturing me on teenage boys and how they take advantage of girls like me.
The sad part was...they were teenage boys!
I laughed at the thought, got in some pajama pants that Rick left out for me and I crawled in my warm bed.
Carson's POV
"Bret!" I screamed still in Maxie's room sitting on her bed with her cell phone in my hand staring at the missed call button.
"One missed call from Andrea. My only connection." I repeated in my mind as I heard Bret run up the stairs loudly.
"Did you call 911?" I asked as he turned into the hallway.
"Of course what am I stupid." Bret replied.
"Okay I don't have time for your idiotic moods, Bret, my baby sister is gone and she's not with Andrea." I said.
"Whatever, Carson she is probably just with some guy she met from a party." He said.
I gasped.
"That doesn't make me feel any better!" I hissed.
"Wait...What party!!?" I asked
"The one my friend is having, of course. It was going to be full of fights and the cops were supposed to show up so I didn't go." He answered.
"And Maxie is there?" I aske.d
"No because they all know she's my sister. One of them would take her home ight away if I wasn't there." He said.
"Sure?" I asked.
"Positive." Bret replied.
"I was planning on going to it but come on you know that if teh cops see me there they will just arrest me for no apparent reason because of Dad." Bret said.
"Yeah well Dad tended to make all of us look bad. "I said.
End POV
"Maxine!!" Rick screamed swinging the door open.
His face was red and he looked very very mad.
"What's wrong?" I asked sympathetically as I sat up in the bed.
"Why the hell are you still in bed?" Rick asked.
"I don't know." I answered now a little scared.
"Well that's not a good enough answer!" He screamed walking over to me.
Rick swung the blankets off from on top of me and threw me on the hard wood floor.
"What are you doing?" I asked laying there too afraid to get up.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know I had to get up at a certain time." I cried.
"Too bad." He said kicking me in the rib.
"No stop!" I screamed.
"Rick what are you doing?" Jayce yelled from teh doorway.
"You don't ever hurt one of those girls." He said.
"She deserved it." He replied with anger.
"No she didn't unless I say so." Jayce stated walking over to me and helping me up.
"Let's go check out that rib." He said grabbing my arm and taking me into the hall.
"Molly!" Jayce exclaimed as we walked by the staircase.
"Yes?" She asked standing behind us.
Molly had dark blonde hair and light blue eyes. She sort of looked like Mia but not exactly.
"Her rib is hurt." He said.
Jayce pushed me towards Molly and she took me into a small room on the third floor.
"So...it's your rib?" Molly asked.
"Yeah." I answered simply.
"Well I think it might be fine but another fall and you could break it." She said.
"Yeah I'll try not to." I replied rolling my eyes.
"Well go on back now." Molly said walking out of the room.
I walked out of the room and turned down the hallway.
"I am going to have to get used to this." I mumbled walking to my room.
Rick was already gone when I got there so I laid on my bed and quickly fell asleep.
"Maxine wake up!" I heard Rick say in the back of my mind.
"What?" I asked cluelessly sitting up and looking right into a face.
"It wasn't Rick's face it was an unfamiliar face.
"Who are you?" I asked backing up into the back board.
"My name is Nathanial. I am one of the other guys that that you were taken here for." He responded calmly; unlike my reaction...
"Why am I here?" I asked confused.
No one actually told me. Just that Jayce was a person that I should suck up to.
"What do you mean?" Nathanial asked.
"Never mind." I said.
"Well to answer it anyways you might be promised to three guys. Jayce, a guy named Christan or myself." He explained.
"Oh." I said.
"Yeah so... I heard Jayce and you and have been having some moments." Nathanial said.
"What do you mean by moments?" I asked.
"Well...never mind." He said.
"You have to get dressed and ready." He said before he left the room.
"Fine." I said getting out of the bed and changing into the dress laying on the dresser.
It was white with mesh lace flowers on it.
" don't know about this dress..." I muttered as I looked in the full length mirror.
"Come on I think it looks good." Nathanial said from teh doorway.
"Well I don't know about it." I said.
"Come Maxine we have to go to the dining room for dinner." He said holding out his hand.
"Alright I guess." I said taking it and walking to the dining room.
We got to the doors and Nathanial opened them holding my hand tight and picking a seat in the back for the two of us.
Jayce glared at him like there was no tomorrow.
"So Maxie how's your rib?" Jayce asked.
"It's fine I just can't hurt it again." I replied with a sweet smile towards Rick who was sitting directly across from me.
"Sorry." He mumbled picking at his food.
"It's fine." I said feeling oh so accomplished.
