Episode 5

As we exit the tall doors that once kept me in, now allowing me to leave and be free, I pause. “Wait,” I say urgently. “What's the matter?” he asks out of concern. “Why do you need me?” I ask not knowing what would come next or even what I was expecting to happen. “Everything will be answered soon. Don’t worry about anything, everything will be handled, you’re in good hands,” he says calmly. “What about my stuff?” I ask with a shaky voice. Remembering I had left the most important thing to me in the hands of “those” people. “I’ll get someone to pick it up tomorrow,” he told me, then added “Are you looking for this?” as he holds up a necklace. The one that is the only lead to finding out who I truly am. “Yes,” I say happily as I reach over the seats and grab it. He smiles as though his cold and stiff professional version of him has melted away once again. We arrive at his house which is far off from main roads and has a vintage like style to it. The mansion is more like a castle and is fit for a king. We go through the roundabout near the garden and the doors open once we get to the entrance. I walk up the stairs trailing behind Jackson as he leads me inside. Once we reach inside everything is amazing, the walls are dressed head to toe in beautiful wall paper and everything else is not only fancy, but vintage as well. I walk up one of the stairs as Jackson goes up the other that circles around the indoor fountain. Once we reach the top Jackson leads me to a room. “This will be your room for tonight,” he tells me. I gaze in awe and try to take in the whole room. The walls are decked in baby blue and gold design wallpaper, the bed is a king size and has more pillows than can be counted. I race towards the bed and jump on it, hugging one of the pillows. Feeling the happiest I’ve ever been, only to remember Jackson was still in the doorway. Fear jolting into me as I sit up worried of what Jackson would say. As I look towards the doorway, instead of him being mad or anything instead I see him smirk while watching me. “Is….Is this all just for me?” I ask sincerely. “It can be, if it is up to your standards of course. If not I can get you a new room,” he replies. “No that won't be necessary this is great!” I responded, overjoyed with this new room. I’ve never had anything like this. I just don’t understand why he’s giving me so much,” I think to myself. Jackson stared at me realizing my reaction, and simply said “Get some sleep and I’ll explain everything in the morning, okay?” I nod in agreement and give him a smile as he returns one back. As he leaves, I open up each and every layer of the cover and lay down. It was by far the most comfortable thing I have ever slept on, it felt as though I was laying down on a cloud. I only got up for a split second to take a peek around when no one was looking. The room wasnt dusty at all, although it didn't seem used it was the opposite of dirty, instead it was spick and span as though it was waiting for someone. I took a quick shower and looked inside the closet to find something to wear.
