Just A Maid Right?

Chapter 1

I was on the ground, not knowing where I was, everything was a bit fuzzy and weird looking but I still got up and knocked on the door. It was the second time this day that I had taken a fall. My legs couldn't support my body and it felt as if my neck couldn't bear the weight of my head. I was starving for days and the last time I ate was when a young little boy named Chris decided to give me his pack of cookies and hot chocolate. He sat with me for a while talking to me until a car skidded right where we were sitting and a women came out. She grabbed his hand and told him to never talk to people like me and how she was disappointed with the foolish act of his.

Now, back to the place I had knocked. To my surprise, the same women whose son I had talked to had opened the door, and gave me a look from up and down. I felt her eyes analyzing me and judging me, the same eyes everyone had looked at me with after the death of my parents and my younger brother. All of their eyes had one resemblance, the anger, the hatred, the fire, the fire that they wanted to burn me in. The fire, which had killed my parents, the fire that they wished had taken me instead of my family.

The woman gave me a tight yet wary smile asking why I was at her door. " I-I saw you're add up on the walls asking for a maid, and the person would get a good pay, Anna by the way, nice to meet you." I said, to be honest I was kind of scared, scared of her reply, scared of what she thought about me, yet I had a small warm smile on my face. This is only chance I had, the only way I would finally be able to at least have a meal a day and be able to have some money. "You seem familiar.....have I seen you somewhere?" she asked, I decided whether I should tell her about her son and I talking, and I did. After that I thought that all my chance of getting this job was over. I would most likely die from starvation and thirst, but she didn't seem to mind what I said. In fact, she seemed a little eager, "So tell me Anna, what did my son tell you while he was with you?" she asked with a worried glint in her eyes. That's when I saw the pain in her eyes, the same pain I saw in my mother's eyes when she looked at me for the last time before the car had blasted. Her son was around 12 or something and he had told me how he was depressed. He had no one to talk to, and had workaholic parents, a brother who seemed to bring sluts in everyday and no one who would pay attention to him. I saw my 12 year old self in that kid, although my childhood was filled with fun and games and love.

I had zoned out again, something I was used to doing it was like a routine, after all I had nothing that belonged to me other then reminiscing the old memories. The mother moved a little closer as now we were sitting on a couch in her mansion. I spilled everything to her in hope that this way, I could get the job and I could help out a mother-son relationship and probably a life. After I told her everything, she was lost, as if she was in her own land, she was probably thinking of the times she made her son feel unwanted. "Ma'am?" I called snapping her out of her thoughts, she quickly looked at me and blinked back a few tears and the poker face was back on as she quickly got up and said "You're hired for the job, you're service as a maid will be 24/7 and you have to work properly to get paid, considering the fact that you're on the streets, you most likely own nothing, so the room you will be living in has clothing and you'll get food too.

As soon as I heard that, I was ecstatic and couldn't believe she actually said yes. I jumped a little and grabbed her arm as I said "thank you so much, ma'am for this job, I definitely will not let you down and I'll work to my best abilities." She flinched back and told me to never touch her again and for me to take a shower and change because I reek.

I happily obliged and soon enoughwas escorted to a normal room, where I was going to live. I prayed not to messthis up and hopefully work here till I die...or get enough money to get stable.
