I walk back to my room still carrying those files, I enter and I finally take a look army room for the first time,
The living room alone was so lavish it could have paid off my student debt and the kitchen was stocked with groceries and utensils, the bedroom was just as cozy with a queen size bed and a large closet in the corner...(Gosh I can never understand these rich people...there is an apartment in this mansion!)
I settle in the couch ready to work the whole night when my phone rings...I check the screen and immediately freeze..
Why him...I dreaded picking up but I had to
Phone call
What
I say immediately after picking up
I wouldn't use that tone considering your situation,
The voice on the other side said
I grit my teeth and calm myself down before replying
What is it...
You have six months, if you can't do what I asked you know what's going to happen right?
Said the man,
I heard a laugh on the other line...(gosh I want to punch him...)
Remember the script I gave you and don't mess this up
The voice said,
(How can I forget...there is too much at stake...)
I hear whimpering voices on the other line and my blood goes cold,
Don't hurt him!
I yell desperate for him to stop doing whatever he was doing
You're in no position to give me orders
The man replied, I could picture his cocky smirk even from here...
Don't let me down phoenix or you know what's going to happen don't you?
I hear a scream from the other line and the call suddenly disconnects
FUCK! I'm gonna Fucking kill you Wilson!
I slump back on the couch with face in my hands,
Please... please be ok Orion...you're all I have...I can't lose you...
Tears start escaping my eyes, i can't control them...then suddenly I hear a knock on the door,
(Seriously...who could it be...I can't get a moment of peace here...)
I open the door to see a boy standing there, he seems to be my age with only one difference...he actually seems happy..
Hii! I'm your new neighbor! I saw you just came here so I thought I'd come and say hello
(Gosh he's so cheery...it actually feels nice...he's like a walking ray of sunshine...)
My name is Carter. Carter Wyatt. I work in the IT department here
He said it with such a bright smile I almost forgot about my problems..
Can I come in?
He asks.
Oh yeah sure come in...
I step aside and let him enter my room.
So what's your name?
He asked,
Oh uh Liam!
I reply, he's so cheery I almost told him my real name...
Well nice to meet you Liam! So how old are you?
27...
I reply,
Hey we're the same age!
He said getting even more excited then before
I'll have a new friend now! I've been alone here for the last two years cause everyone else is alot older and don't want to assosiate with youngsters
I see...
I manage to speak
(Well we're technically not the same age...I'm a year older but I gotta stick to the script...)
He looks over to my giant pile of files
Oh looks like you're busy already. I'll see you some other day then? Maybe we can have breakfast together? Or maybe even watch a movie?
(Gosh this kids adorable...just what I needed right now...)
He gets and and after giving me the tightest hug, leaves and heads back to his room.
(That was weird...I still gotta finish this but at least I have someone now...)
I pick up a file and begin my work
