Stripped to the Heart

Chapter 5 - My (awfully) rich family

When I opened the door I ran up to my room and jumped onto the bed, before falling asleep for a very long time.

Once I had woken up the doorbell rang, I checked who it was and found Leo standing there looking quite pleased. In my best American accent I said "Hang on, it'll be open in a second." With that I rushed upstairs and slipped on a jumpsuit that felt comfy enough and disguised me. Then I put on some thongs and answered the door.

"Hello?" I asked nervously and began biting on my lip. "Hi" he said. "Is Anna here? Are you Alex?" "Yes I'm Alex and Anna left a little while ago" I told him, he seemed satisfied and left. That was too close I confirmed in my head as I walked away.

I'm an only child and my parents leave me with the maids and butler so they can work sometimes, although they usually don't come back for weeks at a time. But Joy tends to come around a lot and we usually do something fun, red carpet events or something else. I love my parents but I miss them and wish I could see them more.

I decided to occupy myself with a fashion show, mine and my mum's clothes. ( A/N yes I'm not American - Aussie actually) When the first model (maid) came out I gasped the dress was so old, why was it here? I remember telling them not to use this dress. Then the next model came out, I gasped out even more at the sight of this one. "Alright, stop it. This is a disaster, the dresses go back into the closets and then get back to your work" I ordered before running out of the room.

This is all too much! The memories, the pain, the sorrow, the guilt and everything about the dresses terrified me. Why now?

A/N: I know my chapters aren't very long but I find it hard to keep going and I think for me, it is easiest just to make lots of short chapters, also what is happening with these dresses? What could they mean to her?

Luv U
