New Life

Intro

"Max!! Get downstairs!" I heard my mum shout on me. "Aye! Hold on!" I've been saying this for 10 minutes. I had work to do and I couldn't be bothered going downstairs. If it was that important then why didn't she come up for me? Also, I'm probably in trouble, again. My little brother gets me into trouble constantly and everytime our mum believes him and not me. He's 13 and I'm 24, way too old for that shit but it happens. After 5 minutes I just went down and get it over with. Getting downstairs is hard, 2 steps collapsed a few weeks ago and the railing fell of. Our house isn't the best, we haven't got a lot of money so I guess it'll do. I got downstairs and there was a guy sitting next to my mum.

"Who's that? Another boyfriend?" It wouldn't surprise me if he was, she's got a new boyfriend pretty much every week. That's probably why dad left. "No Max. He's not. He's here for you, go pack your stuff." When she said this I was confused. She was selling me? I know we're poor but there was no need for this. I did what I was told though, I didn't have a choice. I went into my brothers room, he was crying.

"Calum?" I didn't get an response but he got up and hugged me. He must know what's happening. Although we 'hate' each other, we don't like leaving each other. I told him it was going to okay and I went back downstairs. I didn't go into the living room, I just waited in the hall. The guy came and told me to follow him to his car. It didn't feel right, he could do anything to me. I got into the car, I didn't want to say goodbye to my mum. I saw my brother waving to me, still crying, I waved back knowing I might not be able to see him again.

The guy handed me a bit of paper.
It read:

  Rules:

1. You will not tell anyone about anything that goes on.

2. You will stay in the house unless I say you can leave.

3. You will not have contact with friends, family or anyone else you know.

4. If you break any of the rules or don't do as I say, I will hurt you. Keep doing that, I'll kill you

I read over the rules over and over again. I could get killed if I'm not careful. This is crazy. I started to wonder what he will make me do, hopefully nothing sexual and nothing to do with killing people. Those two things are probably my nightmare now.

It was a long drive, I'd say it lasted about 3 hours. He pulled up next to the house. It was a mansion, to be honest I was kind of excited to go in it. I got out of the car and the guy just headed for the house. I followed, the doors were bigger than me. When we got in, the lobby was huge, I could have put my house in this one part. It had a lot of pictures in it, most of them were of people and it looked like they were all staring at me.

"Go upstairs into the first room on the right. Do not enter any other rooms." I jumped when he said this, he didn't seem to talk much. I'm sure that will change. I slowly walked upstairs, I didn't know his name which was kind of weird to me. Maybe he just won't tell me.

The room wasn't too big, it had a bathroom, small wardrope and single bed. Definitely better than my old room. I went to bed, that drive tired me out. I slowly drifted off to sleep. I guess my new life starts.
