If you asked me ten years ago where I saw myself today I would have never guessed this twisted turn of life. At the age of nine I was a smart kid or at least that is what everyone told me. Nothing could have been better... well, you know that whole saying ignorance is bliss it is very true. Soon after nine I had to grow up quick medical issues arose and no doctor could figure it out, so they just called me a fake... an attention seeker.
Then high school began and let's just say everyone lied about it... I expected to be that quiet girl in the background. Yeah, never happend. Girl I met and hung out with got pregnant and everyone asked me about it. Who's the dad, is she actually pregnant, Ect.
After sophomore year me and mom decided to leave dad. She was getting sick and dad was treating her like shit saying she was faking... so we moved from the US all the way to England. There we got her help although I had to work two jobs through the rest of high school. She had stage 3 lung cancer she lasted a year and a half after the move. She told me to graduate no matter what, and that is exactly what I did.
But, I never in all my years could have foretold what came next... no, I didn't go to college, I started working for Ms. Stella Rey, she was an older lady who needed some help 'round her mansion and didn't want to hire a whole bunch of people so she hired me.Now I've been working here for almost a year now, and today I was told to be expecting visitors, although I was never told when, so here I am as usual cleaning up at 5:26, wearing a tank top and a pair of jeans, when the bell rang,- I mean who shows up at 5 o'clock, period. So I put my mop down and scamper off to the front door. When I open the door there stood 3 guys and 2 girls. The guys I recognized from the pictures hanging all over the house but the girls, not so much. "Oh, you must be ms. Rey's grandchildren, come in." I open the door and step aside, they enter and stand awkwardly "I was about to make breakfast would y'all like some."
"Actually could we sleep for a bit, we just got here and it's pretty late in America."
"Oh ya, totally. Let me show y'all to your rooms."
I slowly walked up the stairs and towards the guest wing where I had prepared rooms last night, "Now I was only expecting 3 people so girls don't expect anything fancy for now, I'll fix you up a room later today."
"Thanks... Ummm."
"Oh the names Makayla, Makayla hunt."
"Thanks, Makayla.."
"Yep, no prob... Now ms. Rey would like to meet you when she wakes up so I will wake you when she is up and breakfast is on the table." Everyone nods and I walk off to continue my daily duties, I sweep and vacuum the floors while steaming and mopping the ones that need it, then dusting and straightening the living room before moving to the kitchen and seeing it is almost 7:30 so I start breakfast and cleaning as I go. Soon everything is cooked and set in the oven to keep warm. I let my eyes sweep over the kitchen one last time before I go upstairs to get ms. Rey.
