TWIST OF FATE

SEVEN

Elsa

It's been 4 weeks I went with Mr Frost to France. I had been having the nightmares since I left Louisiana and I had therapy appointments with my doctor but you know it keeps coming back. And anytime it happens, Mr Frost actually is always there. We had become a bit close and I don't know but am i beginning to like him? It's in the evening and Mr Frost was already asleep. But I couldn't help notice how calm he looked when he slept. I was about to leave when I heard a faint call for someone and it sounded as Emma. Who's Emma? I was about to wake him up since I saw him struggling when he got up. He looked at me angrily and left the living room to go to his room. We were leaving in his own mansion. He had many houses all over so I was wondering who will take those houses. But why is he so rude? And who is Emma? I know Miss Rapunzel was his ex. Trust me gossip at work is all I know how to do. Not like I gossip but I mistakenly hear their conversations. Especially when the gossiper likes Mr Frost. I was cut short of my thoughts when I heard my phone ringing.

"Elsa!" She called on the other side of the phone. I roll my eyes. We've talked about this. She's not supposed to mention my name what if people are around.

"Yes Merida. Are you alone?" I say being cautious and look around to see if I was the only one in the room.

"Elsa this is no time for jokes. Your apartment..." she starts to say and I  feel like she's panicking. I nearly dropped the phone when I hear my apartment.

"What about it?" I say forgetting that I was in someone's house.

"It is on fire!" She says and I can feel her cry. I hear noises in the background.

"WHAT!" I scream out. Then quickly cover my mouth.

"Exactly!" She says and I can hear sobbing.

"Merida have you called the firemen?" I ask her. Just to think of it everything I ever owned is gone.

"Yes they're on their way. I don't know what you will do. I mean I'll be going to Scotland next week to visit my family and I might not come back until summer break is over!" She says and I feel like she was walking around.

"Oh..... I don't know maybe if I get  enough money I'll live in a hotel." I say deep in thought. How will I get that money. Hotels too are not places for you to stay forever. I will soon have to get money to rent another apartment.

"Live in a hotel for what?" I hear and I look to see Mr Frost. Oops.

"Erm... Merida I have got to go. I'll call you later."I tell her and I look at Mr Frost wondering what I will say.

"Elsa?!" She says before I cut the call.

"Why will you live in a hotel?" He asks and I figure out a way to tell him without him asking too much.

"Er.... My apartment is on fire. And i don't know where i am going to stay. I'll just live in a hotel for some days and rent a new apartment." I say and try to look convincing. Who am I kidding.

"What of your old apartment? Was it rented? And do you know how much a hotel costs?" He says and I become hurt. He thinks I can't actually afford a hotel and apartment.
