It all started when I sat down with Rebecca, helping her paint and color her coloring book. Everything was going fine but the moment I found my hand reaching to scratch my back again, I knew something was wrong.
Then the torture started.
I probably looked like a demented monkey with the way I couldn't stop scratching my body. It felt like my body was on fire. Every part of my body that was covered by the clothes I had put on itched intensely.
The worst part, I wasn't able to do anything about it. Rebecca had me engaged in a grueling coloring session of her book which she wanted to complete today. Every time I attempted to leave and soothe myself of the torture, she would start crying hysterically and that would force me to stay put.
When I had finally managed to slip out of Rebecca's clutches, Rachael got hold of me and ordered me to call for Antonio immediately because it was supposed to be sibling time and he was still not present.
There were no
After dinner, I just sat aimlessly staring at the TV. The lotion actually helped and a tiny, almost microscopic portion of me was grateful to Ethan for it.It was after about half an hour after my dinner that everyone returned home. I should've just locked myself in my room.Olivia came bouncing towards me and literally dragged me to her room which I was actually thankful to her for.She gushed about her new friendship with Rachael and how she has taught her some makeup tricks and hair styles and things like that. She also told me how the paparazzi had flooded them once they stepped out of their cars to make their way to the restaurant. Thank God I didn't go then.Olivia remained completely oblivious to my obvious lack of attention to her twaddle once she started on the topic of makeup, dresses and hair again.I contemplated whether I should tell her or not. She was my best friend and I never kept anything from her. But this was different. I didn't
The next morning at around ten, a chef I'd asked for and I gathered in the kitchen to teach me to cook.I knew how to cook and I actually did a good job at cooking but I wanted to learn something new. Something I could make use of in the café after I leave this place.So I had asked Samara to get a hold of one of the chefs. I had decided to do this every alternate day and hoped I would be able to stick to cooking every alternate day."So, what do you want to cook, Ms. Jenson?" The chef asked, smiling politely at me."How about I get your name first?" I suggested, knowing only now that I didn't even know his name."I'm Keith Richards," he said, extending his hand towards me."Nice to meet you. I'm Juliet Jenson," I said, taking his hand in a firm handshake.He looked a few years older than me, probably in mid twenties. He had light brown eyes and a dark complexion. He had black hair which ended just above his eyes. He also had a
Keith's arms dropped from around mine and he cleared his throat. "Good afternoon, Mr. Evans. I was just teaching Ms. Jenson how to cook Baltimore Coddies.""Good luck with that," he said, looking over at me."She's actually doing great," Keith vindicated."That should actually be on the news," he rejoindered."Yeah, but I'm pretty sure the news would be more interested in showing what happened during your meeting the day before yesterday. I mean wouldn't they want to know why it got cancelled?" I shot back at him.His lips stretched upwards in a coprophagous grin. "Even better would be showing what had happened just yesterday in my room."My cheeks reddened. "S-shut up.""What happened, sweetheart? Don't you agree with me?" He asked."Get out.""Okay," he obliged.Once he was out of the kitchen I released a breath. Why did he have to bringthatup?Okay I was the one who brought
Something was wrong. Ethan hadn't done anything to me yet. It was like he had forgotten that I threw him into the pool that afternoon.It had been three days since I had done that. He had dug himself into work and we barely saw each other these days. Although I was happy to not see his rotten face, it still worried me. What if he had something huge planned?I hated being caught off guard. I used to know that he was going to do something before but now he had gone silent. He doesn't look at me anymore, much less glare at me. He doesn't throw any snide remarks or do something pejorative.I didn't like this at all. If he was giving up, I would've liked to know. I didn't want to watch my every step, look over my shoulder afraid he was going to pop out of nowhere and scare me off. It sucked to be on guard every time.Mr. and Mrs. Jenson had to cut short their trip. Their anniversary was two days ago and we all wished them via Skype. They were due to return the
I would've taken the time to appreciate the movie reference if I wasn't so terrified. Goosebumps covered every inch of my skin. I wanted to scream but nothing left my lips. I gulped.I looked down at the bathtub full of blood, at least that was what it seemed. There was something poking out slightly out of the water.With shaky hands, I reached out and dipped my hand in the water. Feeling something hard in it, I grasped it and pulled it out only to throw it back into the water while I stumbled backwards due to fright.I landed on the cold bathroom floor, crawling away from it.It was a very creepy, bloody doll with big, vacant dark eyes and a manic grin on its face.I let out a bloodcurdling scream at its sight. It was staring at me with her wreaked evil smile which could send me running for the hills. Suddenly, the lights went out and I screamed even louder, if that was possible.I got up with difficulty and ran towards the door and yanked
"Honey, that fish is already dead. Why are you trying to kill it again?" Charlotte Jenson asked me with a worried frown on her face.We were all seated at the dinner table. It was a day after that stupid prank Ethan pulled on me and my anger still knew no bounds. My blood was still boiling.I hadn't realized what exactly I was doing to the fish as I was more busy imagining Ethan as that fish and doing what I wanted to do with him, stab him to death.Ethan shifted uncomfortably in his seat at the dinner table, right in front of mine. I was pleased with myself to at least get him to feel a little uncomfortable in my presence."Sorry," I said quietly and grimaced down at the fish on my plate. In the process of stabbing it over and over again I had also gouged it's eye out. I would've been very happy if it was Ethan in its place and not that poor fish.I glared at Ethan again who was now watching my plate with his lips slightly parted and nose scrunche
"So you now have a best friend? What's her name again?" Olivia asked, staring at the ceiling. She was laying on her bed and I just barged in her room to tell her all about what had happened in the morning."Heather. Heather Ainsley. Her brother, Robert is Rachael's husband and she's my best friend I didn't know of.""This just got a whole lot complicated," Olivia murmured."Tell me about it. This is all because of you. If you wouldn't have convinced me to act like their brat of a daughter."Olivia let out a tired sigh. "Let's not go over this again.""What if this gets even more complicated? What will I do when all of Juliet's family comes to visit all at once. I wouldn't be able to keep up! Our lie would be caught. We'd be thrown out of here. Maybe we would even be handed over to the cops!""Whoa, whoa, whoa." Olivia jumped from the bed and ran towards me. "Slow down," she said, grabbing my shoulders. "Nothing of that sort is going to happe
I got one of the biggest shock at the breakfast table the next morning.I was told, no, more like ordered to accompany the Jenson family to an event. A launch party.Apparently, the Jenson group of industries were going to release their new product, a car what-was-its-name, at the launch party.Mr. Jenson had droned about the two front seat car which came in a slew of colors providing buyers with unlimited color options and many other accessories. The car cost a whopping three point four million dollars and it was the latest model in the country.I had stared at him for a full minute after his description of the car, which I could care less about. Internally, I was freaking out.I'd have to go out in public! I couldn't do that! That would surely expose my secret and I'd be dead. Great. Now I sounded like a freaking vampire afraid to go out in the public. Sunlight would've been much better."So be ready around eight, alright? We'll take your
