"I am sorry, But we can't force you for this job"
..."Oh I understand..."
I am Jessica, When I was 10 my parents had a divorce. I hated my parents and run away from home but I never regret it. I still remember those screaming in my house and shouting which never let me sleep. I left my house at small age Due to that It was hard for me to pay for my school fee and start doing jobs at the age of 16.
I'll been looking for a job to start a new life with my boyfriend. Thanks to him, I am able to live and walk with clothes.I used to hide my age and do jobs, But I was always kicked out or fired whenever they find out about it. Today is another day for me to find a decent job.
"I am really sorry but I don't think you are capable of this job, Your age is...a problem here".
"It's alright", It was another fail for me get a job.
I was on my way out when this worker approached me.
"I heard you were looking for a job?"
"I was but why do you care about it?" I had a bad attitude, With my 9th fail I lost all the hopes. I knew even if the worker if offer me this job I'll definitely be fired somehow.
"Do you really don't need a job?"
I was thinking for a second, Why would a guy ask me about a job?, I was on my way back but some how I stopped. "What's the job? Is it illegal?"
"Of course not, It's a babysitting job"
Haha...A babysitting job..? I know it doesn't matter what job I am doing but I hated kids And more importantly I knew I won't be able to earn much money from that. At first I thought to leave without saying anything but I knew the shark loans won't leave me alone.
"What's the place and the timing?"
"Here is the card, The place is timing is written"
The guy gave the card and walk away fast just like wind. I was busy looking at the card but forgot to ask his name.
At home, while my boyfriend was serving food I was lost in deep thoughts about my life. He then kisses me on the lips and ask me to eat the food. I was blushing out hard. "Are you trying to make me pregnant?" My boyfriend laughed hard and said "Maybe wanna try?" I punched him with love. That night I was still thinking about whether to take the job or not. My boyfriend was awake and asked me if I was having any problem sleeping. "I looked at him with a smile and kissed him. I knew it doesn't matter what job if is , It's for my boyfriend who is my family. That night I decided to take the job.
I woke up fast, Fresh up and Made breakfast for him. I left with a letter with the hope. The house was far away from my house, I knew it would be difficult to get back home during night. I was there for an interview. while I was getting closer I was watching only dark woods and forest near the house I was confused why would someone live near such dark places. I was getting a bad gut feeling not getting rejected but someone slowly waiting for me.
"It's getting even more scary type for me"
I was standing infront of the mansion, It was impossible for someone like me to work there. I travelled a long distance just to get reject? I was nervous but I knew I have to do it. I knocked the door. No one opened it I was already not welcome there, I was going to knock when I see a kid pulling my skirt. I saw a young kid with his little teddy bear. He was wearing a decent dress with a tidy tie. He was looking like a gentleman, I asked 'Hey kid, Are you lost?" He was glaring at me, But didn't answered. Suddenly the door opened and I saw a butler He said "He has a mental issues he can't talk like a normal boy" I felt Embrassed,I shouldn't have asked the kid to talk. I apologized and Told him about the interview. The bulter eas silent, He carried the kid the told me to follow him.
The mansion was so silent and was totally dark, I felt like there was only this kid an butler living there. The bulter showed me a room and told me that's my bedroom. I was totally confused. I asked About my interview, He said I don't need any interview and told me to get some rest. I never felt so confused in my life. But who cares. When I saw my room, I was stunned. It was 10 tumes bigger then my house. The windows were covered with polish red certain and the bed was soft like a cloud, I used to sleep in a rock hard bed. I knew I was going to get addict here. I messaged my boyfriend and told him everything. He was happy for me, Only if I could brought him.
After resting, The bulter asked me it's dinner time, I went to the kitchen and saw maid making a different smelly soup, The bulter asked me to sit in the dining table. I thought I was the one who should cook. It was my first time living such life. But when I tasted the soup I was grossed out.....It was a rich people living style afterall. I knew I can't eat anymore. I was wondering how the kid was able to eat such things, I was obviously hungry. I stood up and went to kitchen and asked the bulter's permission to cook. Thhe bulter glared and said "Yes" It was rude of me to enter kitchen, I knew he knew I didn't liked the Food. While cooking I realised how good the kitchen was but it was an old style kitchen, I mind my own business and went to the dining table, Whiling eating I saw the kid staring at me with the puppy eyes like we was carving for my food. The bulter Understand the codes and asked me to cook the same thing I cooked for myself, I was Like "What?" Okay, I used his kitchen and bedroom so actually I knew it was not a big deal, I took the food I left for myself and give it to the kid. Without a thank you he start eating it like I was his maid. Ofc I am a babysitter it's my job to look after him but My attitude and I were like b*tches . I asked him to introduce himself, He replied "We should not talk while eating, It's common manner"
Now the kid was teaching me how to learn manners?
I went to my bedroom, I was having a video call with my boyfriend suddenly the lights went off, The video call eneded I went to ask if everything it alright but suddenly someone pulled my leg and I SCREAMED, I checked, The kid was under my blanket. I was surprised and asked him to get out. He apologized for his manners and left. I skipped heart beat during the time. The kid was strange.
The next day, When I went out to get some fresh air, I saw a cat dead. It was really disturbing to see how Baldy the cat was there dead. It was rotten, The blood was already chilled out and was looking like jelly. I went to inform the Butler about it. The Butler told me it's common to see such things and I should get used to it. I was stunned and asked "Common? Death is common here?" The butler avoided me and told me to mind my own business.I was so Flustered about it. How can I avoid a cat's death?.
I went to the cat's grave and put a flower near it. I was on my way back when I suddenly saw an old man staring at me. It was kind of creepy But I was feeling like he was giving me messages about something...I went back to the kid's room to teach him. At afternoon, I saw the same old man standing near the largest tree With bare foot. I felt pity for him, So I Grabbed some apples and went to give him. "Here, Please accept it" The man looked at me and said "Basement.... It.... another.... Help.." I thought his mental health was not okay. So I left the apples near a beach so that he would eat it.
During the dinner time, The menu was same same as yesterday. I was feeling like there was everything wrong about the rules here. The kid was looking like he was gone through this for a long time. I new Even if I will go cook something It will rude. I told myself that I should be grateful to live here and eat something. The kid suddenly asked me if I can help him with his homework. I said yes, He was a good mannered kid but I some how felt bad for him. after studying I asked him to play a game. He asked what is a game? I was shocked, This kid doesn't know anything about the outside world? Even games where something new to him. I offered him chess or puzzles and He was okay with everything. Some rounds later he was enjoying the game but it was already 12 o'clock, "It's late, Let's continue the game later" I put him back to sleep. He suddenly approached me and said he will wait for me tomorrow. I smiled at him, and left. He was really a cute and innocent kid.....
