Just A Thought

Chapter 4

Summer

The next few days were the worst. What have they done to me? Ever since the mirror room incident I have been having these recurring nightmares about my parents. It's taking a toll on me. I have stopped eating, I have stopped talking, all I do is go to therapy and just stare blankly at the therapist and completely ignore her.

"Do you want to tell me what you were feeling when you had that panic attack?" Ms Grayson, the therapist repeated the same question she has been asking but like I did for the past few days I just sat there and stared at her.

"Okay let me tell you something Ms Horsley," she sighed loudly removing her spectacles from her face, and revealing her big brown eyes that looked at me with pity. I hated that look, it's what I saw everytime when they looked at me.

"You not being co-operative is not helping the situation, in fact it actually makes it much more difficult than it has to be."

"It must be nice." I said out loud.

"Excuse me?" She said clearly confused.

"It must be nice. Sitting in your chair with your hair all tied up and judging us with those eyes... Because I see you, your are one of those I get what you are going through type when in reality you don't.
So pardon me for not sharing my story with someone who only listens to it so that they feel better about themselves." I spat and I watched her cower with every word I said.

"I think we are done for today. We'll continue tommorow. Go see Jeff for your chore assignment." She said trying her best to remain unfazed, though she was failing terribly.

"What she needs right now is a friend," I heard Jeff say as I was about to open the door to his office.

"Why can't Bia do it? Or Zeke? I don't want to be friends with her" he said, his voice laced with disgust.

"Well that's too bad for you Olen because you are going to be her friend. Whether you like it or not.' he said obviously shutting the topic.

Then suddenly the door opened and I came crushing down on the floor. I looked up to find Olen glaring at me and Jeff, Jeff was clearly amused by the situation.

"What, you go around eavesdropping on people's conversations?" He asked coldy.

I cleared my voice trying desperately to gather my confidence so I can leave this mortifying situation with my dignity intact.

I stood up from the ground and looked  directly into his green eyes which were staring at me like I'm a piece of junk lying on the sidewalk.

"Exactly what makes you think you could talk to me like that?Is because you are taller, is because you are a boy or is it the fact that you simply think you are better than everybody else? Because I see you everyday walking around here like you own the place. And in case you are wondering, I am not interested in being friends with you either. Maybe before I was but not anymore, because I don't do jerks like yourself."

He was clearly taken aback by comment but he didn't say anything, he glared at Jeff and walked out the door.

I looked at Jeff who was still pretty amused by what just happened.

"Ms.Grayson said that you have  chores for me" I said  remembering the reason I was here in the first place.

He handed me a file and I looked up to find that I was to do gardening. thanks

"The fuck? I don't know a thing about gardening." I said out loud but that seemed to amuse him more.

"You don't have to worry about that. You will have all the guidance you need from people already taking up gardening." he said chuckling light.

"Just make sure you're there tomorrow morning, seven o'clock sharp."

I looked through my clothes,and I frowned. I had not packed my clothes so most of them were the designer clothes that my mom bought me. What was my nanny thinking when she packed me a bunch of cute skirts with heels. I chuckled lightly at the thought of me walking around this place in heels, I'm sure they would think that I have absolutely lost my mind.

I settled for a cropped tank top and dungaree shorts. I took the only other pair of flats I had and walked to the garden.

As much as I didn't want to admit the place was beautiful. Once you look past the modern architecture of the buildings here you can appreciate the beauty of the countryside. I always thought sunsets were beautiful but the sunrises in this place were beautiful.

I walked through the garden taking a look at the vegetables that were clearly well taken of.

"Who ever who takes care of these must really be a nerd for plants," I said out loud even though I knew that no one could hear me.

"Excuse me?" a voice said from behind me.

I turned around to find a shirtless Olen standing in front of me. He was carrying carrying a bag of something on one shoulder and he held it with one arm clearly flexing his perfectly toned muscles.
He stared at me his green eyes void of any emotion. He pointed at my lips, still showing no emotion on his face.

"Huh?" I frowned.

"Thought I saw you drool." He smirked.

I gasped and he walked away. He did not just do that. Normally I would have tried to defend myself but I decided to let it slide in case he might catch me checking him out again.

"So who else is coming?" I asked trying dismiss the thoughts going through my head.

"It's just the two of us." He said staring at me intensely.

I blushed.

I tried my best to hide it but I could tell from the way his eyes flickered that he caught it.

This was new to me. I never felt embarrassed in front of a guy before. It was usually them who did all that. I was the hottest girl in school so I never had worry about what guys thought of me. I was basically the girl every guy wanted and every girl wanted to be.

"I thought the point of you coming here was to help me out with the garden."

"Well I know nothing about gardening." I said stating the obvious.

"Stop acting like a spoiled daddy's girl and just help me out okay? The sooner we get this done the sooner you can get out of here." He said angrily.

Wait what? This guy must have a loose screw up in his brain. It's actually pretty weird how he can go from being angry to flirting then angry all over again.

This is going to be one long day.
