I woke up the next day at 8 am. I told Sara I was going home. She asked if I could stay, but I had a few errands to run.

She let me go on the condition that I would sleep over more often. I promised I would as long her brother said it was ok. She went back to sleep and I changed back into my clothes.

I headed downstairs and I had Ethans clothes in my hand. His clothes smelled like him. All night I couldn't stop thing about him and wearing his clothes didn't help.

I walked down the stairs and ran into Cali. "What the heck are you doing here? The help doesn't spend the night" she said.

"Sara wanted me to stay" I said.

"That dumb little girl. I need to set order in this house. Things are definitely going to change once I marry Ethan" those words hit me like a rock. "What are you doing just standing there. Leave!" She yelled at me. I hurried to the door.

Then I heard my name being called out. I looked up and Ethan was coming down the stairs. "Paige, what are you doing? Let me drive you home"

"What do you mean drive her home, she's the help. She can find her own way" she said.

"Cali, not now" Ethan said. He looked frustrated.

"Don't worry about it Mr. Anderson, I can make my way home" I hurried outside before he could say anything else.

I ran out of the house and made my way past the gate. I walked down the street. I had Ethans clothes in my hand. I made it to the bus stop and the bus got there at the same time I did. I got in and made it back to my neighborhood. The bus left me a few blocks from my house. I looked around and it looked really lonely. I started making my way towards my apartment.

I didn't like living in this part of town but it was all I could afford. I felt my phone ringing. I looked at it and I had a few missed calls from Ethan. I slipped my phone into my pocket. Then I felt someone pull me and push me into an alley. A guy was wearing a black mask and was holding a knife to my neck.

"Give me all your money" he yelled at me. I gave him my purse. He opened it and took out the money I had. "You only have 37 dollars?!" He said and he started hitting me. I also had Ethans clothes in my hands. I planned on washing it. He snagged the clothes away from me and stopped hitting me for a second. "These clothes aren't half bad" he said. "Where did you get this bitch, huh?" He said as he continued to beat me up. I tried my best to defend myself. I covered what I could with my hands. I was yelling the whole time for help. "Shut up bitch" he said still hitting me harder. He pulled out his knife again. "Shut up" he yelled and aimed the knife at me. I protected myself with my hands and arms. Thankfully some people came to see what was happening and scared off the mugger.

"Someone call 911." I heard someone say and then I blacked out.

I woke up to beeping. I opened my eyes and everything was foggy. I looked around the room and realized I was in the hospital. I was in the emergency room. "Oh good you're up. Do you know where you are?" A nurse came inside my cubical and asked me.

"Yes in the hospital" I answered.

"Do you know what happened to you?" She asked.

"Yes I was mugged" I said.

"I'm sorry dear. The doctor will be in, in just a moment. In the meantime, I'm going to let you're boyfriend in. He's so worried about you." She said.

"Boyfriend?" I asked.

Just then Ethan walked inside. "Paige!" He exclaimed! "Are you alright? I came as soon as they called." He said.

"I'll let you to love birds to talk" the nurse said walking out.

I looked at Ethan "sorry I had to tell them I was your boyfriend in order to see you. You didn't have an ID on you but I was the last you had on your phone and I came immediately. What happened?" He asked.

I simple nodded at his explanation. "I was walking home and some guy in a black mask took my purse and started hitting me because I didn't have a lot of money. He also took your clothes. I'm sorry about them, I was going to wash them, but the mugger liked them and took them" I said with a sad smile.

"Forget about my stupid clothes. That bastard! How dare he do this?" He said angrily.

The doctor came in. "Miss Evans" he said looking at his tablet.

"Miss Evans, everything looks ok. No broken bones and no internal bleeding. I'll write you a prescription for pain killers and you're good to go." He said.

Ethan stayed pretty quite. The nurse came in and said some police officers were here to take my statement. Ethan talked to them and demanded they find the burglar. That was going to be hard, seeing as how he was wearing a mask. I was discharged and Ethan paid for my hospital bill. I told him I would pay him back but he brushed me off.

Then he helped me get into his car and we drove away.

I fell asleep and Ethan woke me up. I looked around. "Mr. Anderson, what am I doing at your house?" I asked him.

Ethan sighed, "please don't go back to that. I'm sorry about Cali. She's just... Cali. And to answer your question, your staying with us. You need to heal and I don't want you to be around your neighborhood right now" he said.

"I can't. I couldn't" I said.

"Please Paige. I couldn't stand it if anything happened to you" when he said that all my insides melted. "Sara couldn't bare to be without you" he said. And there it was. I was just a nanny to him. I sighed and looked out the window. "Please Paige" I head him say.

"Ok fine I'll do it for Sara." I said and walked out the door and into the house.
