Saving Brian

After going home and getting my stuff I'm back on the bus on my way to the mansion.

I'm about the get out at my stop when when the same bus driver talked to me again and says:" again the mansion? Just be careful girl, when all those cop cars showed up there 10 years ago everyone was worried, be careful"

I stare at him and decide to ignore him, he's an old man! What would he know?! Besides I really need this job.

I walk along the long path and open the door with the key Angela gave me earlier.

When I enter the huge hall Angela calls out from the kitchen: "oh darling your here, you can go up to your room and get settled and go to bed, we had dinner so your free for the rest of the night"

I say thank u and walk up the long red carpeted stairs and reach my room.

When I open the door I'm surprised once again.

The room is 3 times the size of my bedroom at home, it looks similar but the bed is for two and it had about 25 pillows on it, there is a desk AND a makeup table, a closet where I can walk in.

The floor is made of white wood and the walls are dark red, like my hair.

I put my clothes in the closet and I put my stuff on the desk and I want to go to the bathroom.

When I open the door I see the boy I saw today coming out of the bathroom. I stand there motionless and he raises one of his eyebrows and he puts his eyes in a mean vand somehow mocking way and my hearts starts to beat fast, I hurry to go back inside and close my door as fast as I can. I lean on the door for A while and thoughts rush into my head

What is his deal?

He's still here! Why?!

I start to panick. What does he want from me? Staring at me like I'm an idiot, ugh! Why is he here anyways? Maybe it's not a big deal, he is only their son! And she probably didn't tell me for a good normal reason and Maybe he was locked inside his room because he was punished for I don't know drinking to much? That must be it. But Angela doesn't know that I know? How can she hide this? Someone else lives here! But it must be nothing I mean Angela is a nice person and it all normal I guess, and the bus driver is just an old weirdo why would I listen to him?

Feeling assured I put on my blue hello kitty pajama's and take of my makeup and lay in the bed.

It's so soft. I stare at the ceiling and fall asleep soon.

Knock knock knock.

I hear Angela's voice calling from behind the door:" Janet, are you getting up? we will want breakfast soon and Lacey needs her walk!"

"Yes I'm almost ready"

With that lie I jump out of bed and get dressed as soon as I can. I throw on a dark jeans and a flower top, I'm so thankful for my curly hair, il looks messy, but good. I put makeup as fast as I can and I accidentally put some eye pencil on my cheek, but who cares?

I walk downstairs, and I walk through the great hall. It gets me every time because it's so surprisingly huge. I enter the kitchen and see Angela and her husband drinking cofee.

"Good morning" I say and I start making an omelet and cutting vegetables. when I'm done I place the plates in front of them and go outside to walk Lacey.

When I'm walking on the path that I usually take the bus on, I see a couple looking at the mansion. So I decide to say to them: "hi, can I help you?"

They both just ignore me and leave. In my head I think: ya! Offense taken!

I walk back to the mansion and I untie Lacey and go inside. I turn around and see Angela staring at me. She suddenly says: "Janet I think it's better if we move your room from the third floor to the second floor, and I don't think the third floor will ever need cleaning so never enter that floor, and if you need to get to floor 4, just take the elevator, is that clear?" She said with a nervous but calm smile

"Y-ya offcoarse Angela" I say and than I add "I think I will change into cleaning clothes and I will start the floors"

I practically run upstairs and go to my room an close the door, I all through my knees so I sit on the floor with my back against the door.

Whaaaaat?! I can't even be in the same floor as that boy?! And why can't he leave his room exept for food and bathroom? Why is he even here? This Is staring to get really fishy and I don't like it... But I need this job desperately!

I hear a knock on the door so I stand up fast and I try to look normal when I open. It's Angela.

"Pack your things and more the the second floor the second room on the left before you do the floors ok?"

She said a little to fast but with a friendly smile.

She left and I packed all my stuff and I took the elevator down. I found my room an opened the door. It was almost identical to my old room but it was 3 times bigger. wow.

I unpack quickly and walk downstairs slowly to go and eat.

Right before I enter I hear Angela and her husband whispering.

"I moved her from his floor"

"Good idea, but was it a good one to hire her in the first place?"

"We need someone to clean and cook"

"But will she find Brian?"

Hah! His name is Brian I think to myself. I decide to go back and walk down from the stairs again loudly so they will hear me.

The whispering stops immediatly.

I go in the kitchen and say:" how are you" Angela says:"can you make us some lunch and we will eat it together?"

I say yes and I start cooking, I make rice with curry and fish ticks and peaches. I put it on three plates and put them on the table. They sit down and so do I. We all eat when suddenly my heart drops. We all hear a loud sneeze coming from upstairs.

Angela acts like a ninja. She gets up an closes the door to the kitchen and says:"ha! Lacey just be getting a cold"

But I know, and Angela doesn't know that I know, but Lacey is in the garden and the sneeze belonged to Brian.

Angela walks back to her plate and we all eat. After lunch I clean the plates.

Angela says:" you can do the floors tomorow, your free for the rest of the day."

I decide it's time to call my family.

I go outside and dial my moms number.

"Hi mom, it's janet"

"Honey! How me and dad missed you!"

"How are u? Have you had dinner yet?"

"We..me..we had lunch so were full"

"Mom..I'm gonna bring money as soon as I get my paycheck, il see u this weekend"

"Bye darling, we love you"

"Bye mom, tell dad I love him to"

I walk back to the mansion and I shower and get ready for bed.

I lay In be and stare at the huge ceiling, suddenly feeling very alone, but falling asleep fast. Despite all my worries.
