Bad boi bad boi

A/N: hi, all you beautiful people reading this. sorry for the wait. here is another chappy i hope you enjoy and dont think i'm some crazy lunitic. (i should have put that as my first author's note. oh well) ok well that's all for now.

RECAP: i saw a really cute boy watering his plants. he looked up at me smiled and winked. i blushed as i grabbed the lawn mower and went to work.

Larry and Margret were sitting on the porch outside watching me. Any plans of escaping were out of the picture. As I was almost finished mowing their lawn I started to think that they saw the boy wink at me because they were whispering and looking from me to him with evil grins on their faces. I finally finished mowing the lawn, I was exhausted their lawn was huge. I was going to put away the mower when Margret said "what do you think you're doing?" I replied "putting the mower away, I'll do the rest tomorrow." Larry shook his head "oh no you're going to do them today. I don't care if you're tired or not now go." I sighed and obeyed him the first door I knocked on was Mrs. Johnson house, Mrs. Johnson opened the door and smiled "what can I do for you?" her gray hair is short, wide brimmed glasses framed her beautiful emerald green eyes, and she is very sweet. I smiled kindly "actually it's what I can do for you. I was wondering if I could mow your lawn for you for a small price?" she shifted her leg "oh dear I've been meaning to get to that. How very sweet of you how much will it cost?" I caught Larry holding up 10 fingers in the corner of my eye but I cut the price in half it was such a small yard. I smiled "just five dollars please." She nodded and I began to mow her lawn.

I was finished in under an hour so I collected the money and went on from house to house, after I finished mowing 5 houses it began to get dark. Larry and Margret took the money i earned and they let me come inside I could barely walk, Margret pushed me up the ladder and into the cage then she put a pad lock on the door so I couldn't unlock it. I watched as Margret climbed down the ladder, then leap into Larry's arms he smiled then set her down they held hands as they walked to their room. I sighed realizing that I would be sleeping in a dog kennel how fun. Morning came and I hadn't got any rest last night, and to make matters worse I saw Larry climbing up the ladder he unlocked the pad lock with his key. He grabbed my hair and push me out the cage, I fell flat on my face. Larry laughed, then he yanked me up by my hair. The pain registered in my eyes and Larry chuckled. I was so overtired I was falling asleep right there, Larry slapped me "wake up you have to mow the remaining 3 houses, here drink this" he said holding out a 5-hour energy drink I shook my head "no way, that stuff can pump your heart out" Larry growled then slapped me.

out of the corner of my eye I saw the boy from earlier, watching near the window. Larry began to beat me and he didn't seem to notice the boy watching nearby. I began to wonder why he was watching me, and then the doorbell rang Margret rushed to answer it, but before she opened the door she yelled "Larry quick hide the girl." In the blink of an eye Larry snatched me up by my waist and shoved me into the nearest room and shut the door behind him, a click followed which meant he locked it. I crossed my arms because I wanted to know what was going on. I sighed and just pressed my ear up to the door. I heard the front door open, the boy spoke first "hi my name is James, and I was wondering if you could find some work for me to do? Like a part time job" I heard Larry speak next "no thanks we are-" Margret interrupted him "he's kidding we could use an extra hand around here, you're hired" I sunk to my knees I knew exactly why Margret hired him, she knows I like him and I'll make a complete fool of myself in front of him, and to me that is pure torcher. I heard James speak again "ok great when do I start?" his voice was so perfect. Then Larry spoke; ruining my train of thoughts. He said "you can start tomorrow morning at 10:00 am" James replied "ok, see you tomorrow then" I knew he left when I heard the door open and close.

Shortly after James left I heard the lock click indicating it was unlocked. I stepped away from the door just before it opened. Larry reached in and pulled me by the arm into the hallway. "Margret is out shopping. Go cook up some soup" I crossed my arms "no, shouldn't the employee do that?" I was only kidding but Larry sure wasn't he said "fine you want to have attitude do yaw?" I gulped, he punched me in my gut, tears of pain and regret filled my eyes, as I ran to the kitchen to cook his soup. As the soup was cooking in the microwave I slid to the floor hugged my knees and cried realizing I would never be free. I heard the microwave beep I sniffled, wiped my eyes, and stood up. I grabbed nearby oven mitts and put them on, I opened the microwave and took the soup out. I found Larry and I gave him his soup. He looked at me like he was expecting something what did he want me to say 'here you are your majesty'. After a short while I asked "what?" he replied "my spoon, why did it take so long?" I shrugged and left to get his spoon. I spat on the spoon, then gave it to Larry he took it and began to eat his soup I smirked. With food in his mouth he said "don't take so long next time. And the soup's cold you know" I shrugged "so make it yourself next time" Larry stood up and grabbed my ear I kept saying "owwww, owwww, owwww" he pulled me over to where the dog kennel hung above me. Larry let go of my ear as he set up the ladder.
