Uncovered

Chapter 3

The sun is coming in from under the closed curtains in my room and Billo is on the bed next to me snuggling into the blanket. I sit up slowly using one of my arms to support me and the other rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. I grab my phone from the bedside table and press the on button, the bright screen takes a while for my eyes to adjust to but once I do I read that it is nine in the morning.

I get out of bed and go down stairs and as I'm about to go the other direction from the kitchen I smell eggs and bacon, my feet take me to the kitcken and when I enter the room there is someone cooking at the stove.

"Who are you?" I come off a bit rude. The lady at the the stove seems to be startled by my sudden apperance.

"Oh you scared me" the women says turning around. "I'm the new maid."

"Oh, hi. I'm Mackenzie" I say offering my hand and she shakes it.

"Anne." she says, I notice she has a slight accent, maybe russian. She walks back over to the stove and starts flipping some eggs. I walk over to the table and take a seat pouring my self a glass of orange juice.

"There you go" Anne places some eggs and bacon in front of me and they look devine.

"Thank you" I take a bite and it melts in my mouth.

"This is amazing" I praise Anne and she just laughs, she's probable use to all the compliments.

Once I get a quarter through my breakfast I can't stomach anymore so I put it aside, it was delicious and all but I couldn't eat anymore. I get a bit bored sittng here all by my self. Mum and dad have probable gone to work already and Sam's probable asleep. I am taken out of my thoughts when I hear the doorbell ring, and Anne starts walking out of the kitchen.

"It's alright I can get it." I say stopping her in her tracks.

"You sure?" she asks with questioning eyes

"Yep"

"Alright"

I walk out of the kitchen and it feel like forever until I get to the door. I open it and it's Shailene the girl from yesterday.

"Hey" I say giving her a smile, but wondering in the back of my head why she is standing a my door.

"Hey, you ready for the beach?"

"Oh shit, I totally forgot"

"That's alright I can wait" I don't even know what to wear all my stuff is packed away in boxes.

"Can you help me, I don't know what to wear."

"Yeah, sure" she says and steps he into the house and I shut the door behind her.  I lead her up to my room and go to the boxes of clothes that arrived last night.

"Cool room, I like it." She say and I turn to see she is admiring my room.

"Thanks"

I start going through my box of bikinis and hold them up to Shailene and each one she says no.

"What about this " She holds up a crochet bikini top "With this"she holds up a leather pair of bikini bottoms, I wouldn't usually put them together but they go alright.

"Perfect" I grab the bikinis and go to my ensuite to get changed. I put my top on and just as I'm about to put my bottoms on I look to my right hip, there it is, a thing that brings back so many memories, it's not a bad as it use to be but it's still easy to see, I touch around the wound and it brings back painful dark memories, all these thoughts come into my head, why was I so naive? What would life be like if I didn't end up in the wrong crowd?
