"Omg.. Jayce.." I whispered to myself trying to block out the memories of everything that had happened in the mansion.
"Maxie..." Carson yelled out the window.
"What Carson?" I snapped.
"Dinner is ready." He said.
"Okay whatever." I said.
I stood up and walked back into the house.
TV dinner again.
I sighed.
"I call the one with mashed potatoes!" Bret's lazy ass screamed from the couch.
"Bret get your ass out here!" Carson yelled.
"I will in a minute.." Bret said changing the channel to wrestling.
"Max, there's frozen pizza in there too." Carson said.
"I know how much you love it." Carson said.
"Yeah I guess." I said.
"Where the hell is our fricken step-dad?" Bret asked.
"Hell if I know." Carson said.
I walked into the kitchen and sat down.
"But I'm not all that hungry." I said.
"Well you're going to eat something.." He said.
"Why? Whats the use?" I asked walking over to the counter and jumping on top of it.
"Because it's unhealthy to eat the way you do." Jon said walking in the room with Janice in his arms.
He handed Janice to me and got her sippy cup.
"Where the hell have you been, Jon?" Carson asked.
He filled it with juice and took her back.
He just glared at Carson and walked back.
"I'm tired though... I am going to bed early." I said.
"Oh okay, good night baby." Carson said kissing me on the top of the head.
"Good night Car." I said jumping off the counter and walking towards the steps.
"How was counseling?" Bret asked as I walked in front of the TV in the living room to get to the staircase.
"Screw you." I said as I passed.
"It's not my fault you're freaking retarded and got yourself kidnapped." Bret said.
I restrained myself from slapping him across the face and walked up the stairs and made my way to my room.
It was about seven thirty and it was dark out already.
I walked over to my TV and turned it on to the news and got out a pair of sweat pants and a tight white tank top.
I threw them on my bed with a bottle of conditioner. I walked over to the Tv again and turned down th volume and grabbed the items off of my bed.
I grabbed my bathrobe on the way out and walked to teh bathroom down the hall. I set everything on the counter, started the shower and locked the bathroom door.
After my shower I got dressed, and walked down the hall back into my bedroom.
I walked over to my window noticing that the window was wide open and closed the window.
I turned my TV back up and sat down on my bed.
My cell phone rang so I went over to my dresser and answered it.
"Hello?" I said into the phone.
"Oh my god, there is a party tonight." Andrea said immediately.
"I can't go... they already have me in counseling, Andy." I said.
"Oh come on... It's going to be great.." She said.
"I know... and as much as I want to go.. Carson has me on like watch 24-7." I said.
"There's no way I could go." I added.
"Just climb out the window again." She said.
"Yeah because that worked out perfectly last time, right?" I asked sarcastically.
"Oh just do it... Its going to rock and I want my best friend to be there." Andrea said.
"I'm sorry Andrea..." I said.
"Okay, its fine... But you're going to the next one." She said.
"I know, I know, I promise I will." I said.
"Okay good, Well good bye. I have to get ready." Andrea said.
"Bye, Have fun. " I said and I pressed the end button.
I set it back down where it was and I walked over to my bed and sat down.
"Maxine?" Carson asked.
"Yeah." I said looking up from my TV.
"Close your blinds." He said as he peeked into my bedroom.
"Remember you have an appointment tomorrow." He said.
"I will." I said.
"So that means getting home immediately." Carson said.
"I know Carson, now what is this appointment for anyways?" I asked.
"Thats none of your concern right now." Carson said.
"Yeah whatever... then why am I going then?" I asked.
"Because I told you to go and thats what you're going to do." He said.
"Goodnight Carson." I said turning my gaze back to the television.
"Goodnight Max." Carson said rolling his eyes and walking back into the hall.
"I cannot wait for my emancipation." I whispered to myself shutting my bedroom door.
"I walked over to my window and looked out into the rode.
I remembered what I thought I saw earlier and how scared I was.
I closed the blinds and my opaque white curtains and went over to my TV, put it on a timer, got in my bed and fell asleep.
Jayce's POV
"What the hell happened to her?" I yelled before my father, Rick, Nathaniel and Christian in the dining room.
"Jayce this is no time to get all worked up." Dad said.
"Maxine is gone... she escaped.." I said.
"Jayce, Rick knows where she lives, we are going to get your betrothed back." Dad said.
"And how do you plan to do that.. her brothers probably have many cops out there after us and surrounding the area just in case we come back."Nathaniel interfered.
"See, he has a point." I said.
"Jayce, this girl is going to marry you either way... if she likes it or not we are going to get her back into this mansion forvever and she'll never escape again." Dad said.
