CHAPTER 1
Darkness. It was all anyone could see if your life went down the drain, especially if you grew up in a mental institution. I live in the west of Oregon & no, it's not very pretty here. There is a lot of crime that kind of died down since the increase in the police department. So far, so good for the wealthy people of course and for me, nothing. Absolutely nothing.
My past haunts me so much, I can't bare to remember everything that happened. I had no normal "family" let's say, they all murdered each other one day and the reason, I will never know... My only home that I have now is a tiny townhouse with really everything I need right now. At least I don't sleep on the street along with creepy homeless people who have a chance of doing harm to me, I appreciate what I have now. I work as a maid at a rich home & to say, the Horan Family pays good money. They actually make me feel glad.
Anyway, enough of thinking about the filthy past and on to actually getting ready for work. It was 7:00am & I'm really not a morning person to tell the truth, well nobody actually is. The oak wooden floor was very cold once my feet set foot on to them. It creaked with my every move as I moved towards the bathroom to shower. The tap let out warm water falling on to my head and on to my back.
It felt good since it was mid-winter with the cold outside. The sky today I'm pretty sure is cloudy and windy.
In my own mind it seems soothing to have this weather but the wealthy people are more fond of the sun. Whenever there is no sun, I believe something good is coming soon. Strange, right?
I'm not crazy at all, my imagination that makes up everything that I see is just different from everyone's perspective. One of the reasons I got put in a mental institution. My friends were demons in my head which I find completely normal. I don't share of what I think anymore, it ends me up as classified insane or just creepy.
People can't blame me of what I think, my whole family has murdered each other right before my eyes. But instead they still do unfortunately..
The tap stop pouring warm water and started replacing it with iced water. I quickly turned it off not wanting a cold body in the morning, I hate it. My towel wrapped around me with warmth once again waiting it would make me dry to put on my clothes. Minutes later, I've been draped in my white uniform with a black belt wrapped around my waist.
Like always, same old outfit as of a same old day. The only thing different everyday is my hair. It's either wavy or straight, ratherly wavy.
I sighed and grabbed my keys to my home, yes I call it home. It makes me feel safe in a way that nothing can happen to me. I locked the door & walked on the pavement sidewalk. The wind blew a small breeze through into the air making my hair blow.
It feels nice to have wind nowadays as you stroll down the street. Kinda makes me feel like I'm not alone, in a good way. The way it makes me feel happy, needed in a way it makes me stand another night. I could feel it through the cracks in the windows as it helps me sleep. Somehow it's like a mother, always there when you need them most.
I wished I had someone like that, who is always there when you feel lost like how I do every day. Empty.
Nothing really could be worse but then again, nothing can be better than this. My personal saying.
The sidewalk turned to its right and I followed along with it leading to a grand mansion with a black gate surrounding its whole property entirely. Now this would be the Horans residence. Everything about them is pretty perfect, but not enough. Nothing in the world is perfect well, I doubt anything is. I walked up to the gate and pushed it open closing it after I'm in.it hasn't been long since I've been working here actually.
