LOL im bad at this chapter sorry
"Thank you calum! Thank you!" Mali thanked her little, well technically his not little anymore with the help of puberty be became a hunk.
Calum just chuckled "Mali, don't worry. I'll take care of little dan-dan over here" he said with assurance in his voice.
Mali has a part time job in the orphanage, she take care of children, she brings them outside and keep them in the next 2 weeks. she insist that the sisters in the orphan don't pay her, but the kind and generous nuns wanted to because they said that it's the only thing to thank her but today it's different, she has a business trip in Philippines. sadly she can't be spending time with her favourite orphan child, Daniel, at least that what she said.
Daniel was abandoned by her parents when he was still six months. Good thing they left him near the church, and one of the nuns found him, poor Daniel, he is a good kid with a kind loving attitude.
"okay calum don't NOT let him eat junk foods, don't let him play in the mud, let him take his medicine, tooth brush his teeth 4 times a day, when he goes to the nuns always dress him nice, give him milk, always read him stories when he goes to sleep, just make sure he goes to bed at exactly 8:00 and-" mali was interrupted because calum, pinch her in the nose. She wishper-shouted at him so that daniel could not hear them, thankfully he was to distracted of the butterfly flying around.
"whoah there sis, i know how to take care of a children. You have to relax now that you're actually sharing you're marketing skills to the world. Now, go! Shoo!" he said playfully but he notice that mali has a worried look on her face
"mali? whats wrong?" he asked. calum notice daniel walking inside his car, good think its unlocked.
"its just that... i dont know, maybe i should stay and take care of daniel for you. yeah i should sta--" once again mali was interupt by calums chukle.
"no. no. mali you have to go. Thats a big opportunity, C'mon do you want to have money so you can support this little guys?'
She just shrug and sigh. "okay just-"
"just what?"
calum waited for her sisters answer and he saw that look, that horrifying look on her face.
"just don't let him play with that doll okay?" she said and walk away without saying any word.
But before calum could get inside his own car, mali once again ran to him and gave him a big hug, and whispered
"be careful"

Calum was still confused on how her sister acted. She wasn't like that, she's a jolly girl and dosen't get any trouble. While calum was driving there was a long silence between him and daniel. Not until daniel broke the silence with a much more confusing question.
"She told you to say away from her, did she?" he asked, no expression coming out of his face.
"what?''
"oh, you know. Not eating any junk foods and stuffs, i really love cheetos uncle cal" he ask now with a sweet smile on his face. calums heart just melted because of that adorable smile but he snapped back to reality because he realize he is diving, he surley don't want to end up in the hospital on his first day of baby sitting.
"oh yeah, She told me that. Don't worry bud, i don't follow rules" he smiled back, his eyes focus on the road but he swear from the cornner of his eyes he saw a terrifying glare on daniel's face but when he turned his head to face him, it was the sweet smile from seconds ago, this time he was not distracted anymore, his much more .. lost.

"here ya go little guy." calum placed daniel's backpack in the sofa. Calum was relived that they finally got inside his big house after that endless silence inside his car. This house is actually their vacation house, he earned it along with his 3 other friends they just bought it last week, there was a story about this creepy place but calum didin't belive in any of that, along with luke, ashton, and michael. ''cally where will i sleep?" daniel yawed and rub his eye's which made his adorableness to increase, he remembered it was only 5:00 in the afternoon so why would he sleep but he also remembers that kids they get tired easily.
"aww dont worry little bud. i'll show you you're room." he guided daniel into the halls and stopped right in front of a brown door. There are several rooms inside this big house thats why they picked it i the first place, if they are going to throw a party then this is the right place to throw it.
There are 5 rooms in the third floor, daniel's room was only 1 doors away from calum the other 3 door was his friends room and the last door aka the fifth door was lock which is the door that is between calum and daniel, at first calum was worried to let him sleep alone but mali told him to get another room from him, he asked why but she didn't answer so he decided to follow his sister.
"Thanks cally." daniel smiled and opened the door. he took a glance back at calum and smiled again but this time it was not sweet as before, it was more... hopeless.
