The Help

Chapter One

     My gaze was placed toward the floor of the Dawn's living room. Mrs. Dawn was seated in an rich chocolate brown couch. She was everything i had dreamed about when i thought of having a rich mother or mother-in-law... but not an employer. She had shoulder length Hazely brown hair that curled slightly at the ends. Her eyes were a deep shade of blue framed in dark lashes. Her skin was almost completly white and flawless. She was dressed in a beautiful red cocktail dress that hung off her tiny body it was almost as if she never even had a child. Her hair was clipped over one shoulder and she had a kind smile dancing across her face.

     "Ayla Estelle Jones. Daughter of a Supermarket owner and little the Colard History Teacher. Great grades, Works as a room servise/cleaning lady at Olson Hotels. Can style hair, draw, write, read with great fluency, and has an excelent tutering job. With all the experiance you could get the job today but you first must quit all your other jobs and live here rather than with your parents... Will that be a problem Miss. Jones?" I stared the the young looking middle aged mother who seemed to think i was stupid enought to think i could still work all these jobs on top of the other ones. Looking down i rolled my eyes to keep her from seeing.

     "No it's not a Probelm Mrs. Dawn. I can start when ever you need me and i will pack my things when its conenvient for you to have me come and move in." I gave her a sweet, none murderus, smile. She smiled right back and placed my application on the coffee table and stand me following her lead. She held out her hand for me to shake which i did.

     "You can move in this saterday." I nodded as she lead me out of the house but not before i meet her son's eyes. He was tall muscular with wavy honey blonde hair and bright sparkling grey eyes. He seemed to have this mysterious aura about him. I waved slightly before i exited the house and headed toward home to get packing.

     "So she gave you the job. No further research about you. just the refrences from your past jobs and all that?" i looked up blankly at my mother. It was strange most people say i look a lot like her but i don't see it. She had curly waist length auburn hair that seemed almost red brown rather than red. I have curly raven black hair that falls stick straight down to the middle of my back. her eyes are a beautiful browish green eyes and i had dull redish brown eyes. She was five foot four and three coarters. I am Five foot Five . I have never meet my father but i'm sure i look more like him than i do her. 

     "Yeah it seems the room serves and cleaning job really paid off. As well as my old job at Aunt Mindy's hair salon. I think that was what really got me the job." My mother seems to forget i'm almost eighteen. She doesn't believe i am ready to move out and stay with my employers it's not like i'm sleeping with one of them or something for extra pay. As if reading my mind she leaned forward and grabbed my hand gently a firm and serious look on her face.

     "I just fear that you'll fall for the son and end up getting your heart broken. I dont want to see you have something beautiful and then get ditched because something better comes along. I also dont want to see you get lured into his arms and end up alone and pregnant. I dont want you going through what i went through." I smiled gently and squeezed her hand. That was all she ever told me of my father. That they dated for a few months. They went all the way two months later she goes to tell him about me and catches him in bed with her cousin. she hasn't seen him since then.

     "Mom i'm going there for money and a job not a one night stand or for a happy ever after. I will be carefull. I promise." Once i was sure she wasn't going to break or start crying i slipped up the stairs and into my bedroom which was almost empty but a bed, dresser and three suitcases. Shaking my head i changed into one of my night gowns and slipped into bed to sleep before the big move in tomorrow.
