Wake up sweet heart my mother says walking in the door and letting in slam behind her as she walks over to my bed and starts pushing on my shoulder.

What do you want mom? I say rolling over to the other side of the bed letting out a bigger amount of air then I expected.

She pulls the blanket off my making me shiver and she says come on sweety you have to get up its a big day today she says smiling at me as she walks out the door leaving it open.

I hopped out bed walking over to the mirror and looking at myself saying todays going to be great. When I let out air I smelled that my mouth smelled like road kill in summer. But its not Summer thank goodness its October. If it was Summer I would burn just like always because of my porcelain doll like skin I have. I walk into the bathroom and peal off my clothes to get in the shower with my toothbrush to brush my teeth while im in the shower. After my thirty minute shower I wrapped myself in a towel and walked back in my room. As I looked for clothes in my dresser I decided to a where sundress and flats to wear. About to take the towel off of me I see a man in the door. Immediately I jumped back not knowing who he was. All I could manage to say was who- and the man smiled and walked out of my door way towards the kitchen. I ran over to the door and slammed it shut then locking it. I had to ask myself what just happened but I knew my parents would be ok because of their skills in combat they learned while in the military. So I rolled my eyes and began to pull off my clothes and put the sundress on and flats. I looked at my hair. I think it will look good if I wear curls today in my hair to complement the sundress. My hair is so long though, it takes forever. But I did it anyway. After done with curling my dark brown hair I looked at my makeup my mom thought I would wear one day and I looked at my face and smiled knowing that I dont need makeup to look beautiful but trust me I was fare from perfect. I walked down the hall towards the kitchen when I heard yelling from my dads office and I stoped infront of his closed office door and began to listen what he was yelling about or to who.

Dads pov.

I will kill you! I said yelling at the man infront of me as i start slamming stuff around the room as the man watched me.

Look im sorry I didnt think it was that big a deal the man said looking down at his toes with his flip dirty blonde hair hanging down infront of his face.

We had a contract that says you go no where near my family as long as you stay here. Dad said through his teeth leaning down with his hands on his desk.

I know. And im sorry it wont happen again. The man said still looking at his toes.

I dont want her to no about any of this ok! She doesnt need to no about you or what this family does for you till after a couple days ok! I yelled at the man with his head down.

Ok I understand. But I still dont think its that big a deal. The man said not looking at me.

My daughter was in a towel Josh! I said yelling and abusing the furniture again.

Madisons pov.

So thats his name I say louder then I thought I would. I heard footsteps coming towards the door so I got up and ran down the hall and around the corner as dad and Josh looked out of the office. I heard dad say go back to the attic Josh. And footsteps passed by me and he looked at me and kept walking. I guessing so I wouldnt get in trouble by my dad for eavesdropping on their convention. I walked to the kitchen where my mom was cooking breakfast for the family like always. I sat at the table and waited for my food. Twelve minutes later my mom gave me my plate of pancakes with butter and syrup also with a side of grits and a piece of toast.

Are you sure no bacon or sausage? My mom asked looking concerned at me.

No thank you mom im good for right now I said and looked at my two pancakes. After eating my breakfast I decided to look for this so called "Josh" and ask a couple questions about what he and my dad were talking about earlier today. I walked around and looked at the door I thought Josh walked into. I wiggled the doorknob but it was locked. I frowned and as I started to walk away I heard someone say hey. My eyes widened as I ran back towards the door. I said hello?

Come back tonight around ten tonight he said.

I knew it was Josh by his calm voice. I said ok with I slight smile on my face.

Madison will you please come here. Mom said yelling from the kitchen.

Yea! Ill be there in a minute! I yelled. I've got to go I said looking at the door.

Bye. I said to Josh

Goodbye Madison. Josh said in his soft tone of voice.
