The Orphan

This Is A Lot Of Work

      Mackenzie's POV
"WAKE UP! YOU HAVE WORK TO DO!" The lady yelled at us. We sprung up. I grabbed on to my back. I stood up and so did Jayden. "Ready for a day of torcher!" I Said in a sarcastic peppy voice. "Ready as I'll ever be." She Said. We got up and got ready. I'm wearing this

And Jayden is wearing this

We run downstairs. The boys are already there. We get in a line. "Here is your schedule for today. First, clean every bedroom while the children are eating. Then you will scrub the hallways and clean the grand staircase. After that, Mackenzie and Jayden will help the little girls with there hair. The boys will continue cleaning the rooms. After that, you will sweep, clean every bathroom, clean the office, basically, clean every room in the orphanage. Make beds and things. You will get a 10 minute break to eat. Now, go serve the children breakfast! You will clean this dump until it shines like the top of the Chrysler building!" She yelled. As we quickly walked to the dining hall I said to Jayden. "Wasn't That Mrs Hannigan's line in Annie? And that's a lot of work!" I whispered to her laughing. "Yup." She whispered laughing with me and answering both of the things I said. We made it to the hall. We walked in and all eyes were on us. I heard whispers as we walked past. "What happened?" One girl whispered to her friend. "I heard they almost got kicked out!" Another one whispered. We made it to the kitchen and took out the food. We walked out ready to serve everyone. I served a little girl named Alexis. We were always close. "Mackenzie what happened?" She Asked. "Now Alexis, it may be 2018 but we still don't talk to the help." Mrs Wincer Said. She was the head lady. "Yes Mrs. Wincer." She said sighing. "No talking at the table!" Said Mrs Wincer. Alexis went on eating her food. The bell rang. "Girls and boys, you are dismissed for school." Mrs Wincer Said. They all ran out of the room to get ready. Me and Jayden went to go help the girls with there hair. This is how it has to be done everyday to fit the dress code they have here

We did there hair and they ran off giggling. We walked out to see the boys have already started in the rooms. They did the boys rooms and we did the girls. We made beds, cleaned floors, dusted, cleaned every mirror and more. When we finished the bedrooms, it was on to the floors. We scrubbed until our arms burned. I played some music on my phone just loud enough for all of us to hear. My favorite song turned on and I couldn't help but stand up and start dancing.

(Just pretend she was dancing in the hallway!)^
They all clapped at the end. Jayden got up and started dancing next.

(Once again pretend!)
Omg I never know Jayden was such a good hip hopper. Maybe if we get out of this dump one day we could go pro. We continue cleaning the floors. We finished and it was on to the stair case. It was around 12 am when we finished and we hadn't eaten anything all day. We went to the kitchen and took some food. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Screamed Mrs Wincer. "Getting food? You haven't feed us all day!" I talked back. "DID YOU JUST TALK BACK. NO FOOD TOMORROW!" She screeched. "THATS CHILD ABUSE!" I yelled back. At this point there was Conner, Jayden, and Asher just staining at me. "I DONT CARE! GO TO YOUR ROOM!" She screamed. I stomped up to my room and I heard the door lock. Is this really my life? What has this come too? Then I heard Jayden yelling at her too. I heard the door unlock and Jayden was thrown in so hard she hit the floor. The door was quickly shut and locked. I heard Asher yelling. "YOU CANT DO THAT! DONT YOU EVER TOUCH MY SISTER AGAIN!" Asher yelled. "WATCH ME KID!" She said angry. She ran into the room and pulled Jayden away. She shut the door and locked it quick. I ran through the bored and ran out of the boys room. As I feared, Jayden was being hit. She screamed loud. It was enough to break your heart. I could see Ashers light in his eyes fade. He looked scared and hurt. It all happened so fast. Mrs Wincer stopped and Jayden fell to the ground. All I could see was Asher on the ground next to her crying. Conner was also crying. Jayden had a black eye, bruises on her arm and had a hand mark on her cheek, she was out. She passed out and I ran over to Mrs. Wincer. "Your a monster." I said about to cry. "I know! Now to bed with all of you! We have guests in the morning." She Said so cold hearted. I don't even think she has a heart. "It's my fault." Said Asher. "I shouldn't have said anything." "No, Asher you did the right thing. You stood your ground. That's what Jayden wanted you to do." I Said putting my hand on his shoulder. We brought Jayden into our room and laid her on the bed. "She's starting to wake up." Asher said. Jayden woke up Screaming bloody murder. "Hey, Hey, it's ok, it me." Asher said slowly laying her back down. "S- she H- hit m- me?" She Asked confused. We all nodded our heads. She started to cry. Conner took her in his arms and she cried into his chest. "Why me?" She Asked crying. "It's my fault Jay, I told her not to touch you again. She wanted to show that I had no power so she beat you. It's my fault I'm so sorry." Asher explained tears running down his face. "No Asher, you did great!" Jayden said laughing a little. "I'm glad you did it Asher. You stood up for me. Like a big brother should." She Said laughing a little more. "You don't have to say that Jay." He said. His voice trailing off into thought. "I'm saying it because it's true." She Said looking at him. "Thank you." She said. "Ok I'm so tired. I need to sleep." I Said. "Me too. Love you Asher. Love you Conner." She said giving Conner a kiss and then pulling away. "Love you too Jay." The boys said in unison causing us to laugh. "Let's go." Conner said as the walked through the door. "Wow. That was a stressful night." I Said flipping down on the bed. Well, wood. It hurt really bad. "What's wrong?" Jay asked noticing my state. "I forgot we slept on wood!" I said rubbing my head. "Did She day anything when I was out?" Jayden asked. "Um.... yea, she said that we have to get up at 4 because there's guests." I Said to her. "Then were getting like 3 hours of sleep!" Jayden exclaimed. "Yup. Goodnight." I Said laughing a little. "Goodnight." She Said. We both fell asleep In minutes.
