*SADIE'S POV*
As i'm sitting in a cafe i see an add for baby-sitting on the bulletin board. I love kids and baby sitting is my favourite so i quickly call the number. 
"Hi i'm Sadie and i'm interested in the babysitting job." 
"Hi honey i'm Marry, it would be great if you could babysit!"
"Okay awesome. What days?" 
I'm so excited. 
"She needs baby sitting Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings and Sunday during the day if that's okay with you." 
"Yes that's perfect." 
"Great, i'll send you the details. Thank you so much." 
"Thank you." 
I put in the contact number in. 
The last name sounds familiar. 
"Thomason." I mutter to myself. I shrug it off thinking i'm crazy. 
I drive through the snow until i'm at my house. I step in the front door hoping no one is home. 
No noise, i'm alone. I let out a breath my anxiety lowering. I walk around picking up the empty beer cans that lay around. 
I hear a door close, i jump and turn around seeing it's my mum. It's just my mum. 
"Why'd you jump?" She asks putting her keys down. 
"Loud noise." I shrug. She nods believing me. Thank god.

I type the address into my phone and start driving as i leave school. It's a short 5 minute drive and i pull up to a massive mansion. I go down the long driveway following the path.
"This is fucking huge." I mutter to myself turning off my car. 
I get to the door and knock. A middle-aged lady and man answers. 
"Hi I'm Marry nice to meet you." 
"Hi i'm Sadie." I kiss her cheek greeting her.
"I'm Phil." The man says. I give him a nod with a smile.
"This is our daughter Delilah." Marry smiles. 
I look down at the small girl infront of me. Her bright blonde hair hanging down to her shoulders. They all look so familiar.
I bend down infront of her. 
"Hi Delilah i'm Sadie." I smile softly at her. She smiles at me and runs into my arms unexpectedly. 
I giggle picking her up and resting her on my hip as she plays with the necklace around my neck. 
"Here's a key, you can take her out and do things if you wish. I sent you a message of all the rules. Me and my husband are Police officers and we finish around 11 tonight." 
"That's all good i don't mind, have a good time at work." I smile at them. I don't mind staying late, i don't want to go home so it's great.
"Oh also my son might come home later, he's around your age but he won't be in your way." 
"Alright thank you." 
With that the parents leave out the door.Delilah fiddles with my braid in my hair. 
"Can you do my hair like yours?" She giggles. 
"Of course." 
We go to the bathroom and get the hair stuff. I start to braid her hair so gently. She starts telling me about all her favourite teddies. 
"Mr. Snuffles if my favourite. My brother got it for me."
"That's sweet."
"You have the same name about a girl he talks about."
"Oh yeah? Is she nice?"
"He said not. But he talks about her all the time. He never shuts up really."
"That's not good." I giggle.
