Chapter 2
Fiona’s Pov
I carefully jumped out making sure to be as quiet as possible, I grabbed my bag and stared at the house for a mont. I grew up here, was loved and treated like a gem but now it felt like a prison yard, my very own safe haven had beco a prison and as for my dad, he has made his choice. I quickly started running before they could discover i was gone, I had to stop by the ti i got to the main street before anyone started staring at awkwardly. Luckily i made it to the train station on ti and entered having no idea of where i was going or what the hell i was doing.
I waited till it’s got to it’s last stop and ca down wondering into the unknown street. I was just walking as my mind drifted further, what was i even doing? Mom why did you have to die? I continued crying as i walked past houses.
"Hey? Are you alright "?
I turned back and saw a middle-aged lady, her face showed that of sympathy and i stopped to talk to her.
"Why are you crying? Where are your parents"?
I just stared at her, I couldn’t tell her the truth,never! She would send back to that shit hole.
"I lost my mom and.....I don’t have where to go, I’m stranded "
"Oh, poor baby, I’m so sorry. Well, it’s not safe walking around at this unholy hour. Would you mind coming over to my place, we can talk more there".
I stared at this lady, she didn’t look evil and who am i kidding who knows what might happen to if i continued walking, at least going with her might be safer. I slowly nodded my head and she signaled to follow her.
We got to her house and she quickly made so coffee, I an when was the last ti soone did sothing nice for ? I was always the one working.
"Welco to my ho, it’s small but welcoming. I never got your na
I hesitated for a while, should I tell her my real na or just co up with a new identity? What If they start looking for at ho and put on the news? I couldn’t risk that.
"Um... My na’s....Ivy" I lied.
"Why did it take you long to answer? Look you can trust ".
"No...it’s just that....no one has ever asked... for my na, I was just being called an nas" I slowly let my head down to make it more convincing.
"Oh, look, Ivy I’ll try as much as possible to help you okay? Lem get you your coffee then tomorrow morning we can talk more"
She said and headed to the kitchen cabinet to grab a cup.
I looked around and although it wasn’t as huge as my house at least it was welcoming, I heard sounds like soone was climbing down the stairs. Was it her husband? I beca nervous when suddenly my eyes t with this cute dazzling eyes. His chiseled features made my throat dry and i swallowed hard.
"Grandma"? He called looking at awkwardly.
"Oh Mason, you’re still awake"? She replied handling a cup of coffee.
"I see you’ve t Ivy, Ivy this is my grandson Mason" she introduced and i could only stare awkwardly.
"Mason please take her to the guest room and then co back here. Ivy, are you hungry "?
As she asked, my tummy suddenly rumbled, feeling embarrassed i held my tummy instead, rembering i hadn’t had lunch or dinner.
"Mason, will take you to where you’ll be resting and I’ll heat sothing up for you".
"Thank you ma’am, you’re so kind, The only one who’s been kind to recently"
She just smiled while Mason began walking upstairs without any sort of sympathy, I slowly followed him until he stopped at an entrance opening the door.
"Thank you " I mumbled.
He didn’t say anything but just walked away. Okay this is just starting to feel like another Caroline, I walked into the small but very nice bedroom and collapsed onto the bed. I felt like taking a shower, that’s when i noticed my bag was downstairs before i could reach the door, Mason already brought it, he just dropped it and left. I took my bag and shut the door gently, took out my pyjamas and a towel before heading to the bathroom. The water was warm and relaxing, I slowly felt relieved and alive again. After i was done i grabbed my towel wrapped it around and ca out. Suddenly Mason entered with a try of food, I could feel his eyes on he dropped the tray of food on the table and left.
What if i didn’t wrap a towel around my body? Is that how he would have seen my clad body? Soone needs to teach him so manners, I wasn’t wrong when i said he was another Caroline.....
************
The next morning, I woke up with the delicious aroma of sothing cooking, I slowly got off the bed and stretched a bit, it been ages since i slept this long. I quickly went to brush my teeth and hurried downstairs.
"Good Morning ma’am" I greeted
"Morning Ivy, hope you slept well"
"I sure did, for the first ti actually"
She smiled at ,just then Mason approached us already with his bag pack.
"Later Grandma"
"Son, what did we discuss"?
I watched as they both stared at each other awkwardly.
" Good Morning Ivy"
He said and walked out.
"My Grandson can be stubborn sotis but don’t worry you’ll like him once you get to know him".
I only nodded faking a smile.
"Let assist you " I said and went to help her.
