I woke up the following day and felt horrible. Sara saw me and immediately took it upon herself to take care of me. I told her I was in a car accident because I didn't want to scare her. When I first looked at myself in the mirror I felt like I was a punching bag. When Sara and I were alone I asked about Cali, she said she had left around mid day. I was thankful i didn't have to see her.

I started school today. I did my best to cover up the bruises with make up. It seemed to work ok. I remembered how I had to cover up my bruises during my childhood. It sent a small shiver down my spine, I brushed the thought off.

The chauffeur took Sara to school and then dropped me off. The day went by without a problem. When school ended the Chauffeur picked me up and took me to Sara's school. I looked around once again while I waited for Sara to come out. This sight always made me shiver. The nanny's waiting outside the expensive cars, all well dressed, waiting for the children to come out. I on the other hand, had normal clothes on and looked nothing like them. it seemed like looking like a Barbie doll was a requirement to become a nanny.

The kids finally came out and Sara ran into my arms and we got in the car. She asked how I was a feeling and I lied and said I was feeling much better. I felt like absolute crap. I had no insurance so I couldn't buy the medication the doctor prescribed.

Sara and I got home and we worked on her homework. Thankfully Sara took a nap and I had some time to think for myself. What's happened the last couple of weeks is just crazy. And the events that have happened this past couple of days are crazier.

I got a text from lily asking how I was and I told her everything was fine and that I would be home in a couple of days.

I went into the guest room, Mrs. Nelson set it up for me. She probably didn't like the fact that I was there. She always looked at me from the corner of her eyes. No wonder Sara thought of her as a witch.

I decided to take a hot bath. My body was killing me.

After my bath I changed into some comfy clothes. I grabbed some ibuprofen. Hopefully it could help with the pain.

I went to go check on Sara. She was still asleep. I decided to go into the kitchen and grab some ice packs. Maybe that will help. I went into the back yard and sat down next to the pool. No one was usually here at this hour. I put the ice packs on my shoulder and on my chest. That's where it hurt the most. I closed my eyes for a second and contemplating everything that was going on in my life.

Even tho I was trying to deny everything. I knew I had a crush on my boss. He was my first kiss. We held hands. I felt like we had special moments when we would chat. I was in a bubble. However his girlfriend did a great job of popping that bubble. I had to forget about him. He has made it clear on several occasions that I was just his sisters nanny. I sighed and then heard foot steps behind me.

I turned around and saw Ethan walk up to me. I thru the ice packs to the side. He looked concerned. "Paige. Oh dear. Those bruises. How are you feeling?" He asked as he sat next to me and touched my face. I realized that I forgot to add makeup after my shower.

I turned the other way. "I'm fine Mr. Anderson" I said looking at the pool.

"Paige please call me Ethan" he sighed. "Look I know we never got to talk. I'm sorry if Cali said anything"

I turned to him. "Mr. Anderson. Don't worry about it. Everything is fine. I just realized that I am simply Sara's nanny. I know my place. I'm sorry if I caused any trouble." I said standing up.

Ethan grabbed my hand as I did. "Please Paige. We need to talk." I turned around and sat back down. "First of all I need you to stop calling me Me. Anderson. I need you to call me Ethan" he said looking I me.

"Ok fine. I'll call you by your name. Is there anything else?" I asked him.

"No. I need to talk about a few more things. Are you trying to avoid me?" he asked. The answer to that is simple really. Yes.

However I just shook my head and said, "no I just want to make sure Sara is alright" I said.

"She's fine. I just checked up on her. She's asleep. Now moving on. Like I said, I'm sorry if Cali said anything to you. I'm sure she did. Other wise you wouldn't have rushed off like that and you wouldn't be calling me Mr. Anderson." He sighed. "Please just forget whatever she said" he said looking at me. I could never forget what she said. She said they were getting married. How could I forget something like that?

"There's nothing to forgive Mr..." he raised his eyebrow again. "Sorry Ethan. There really isn't anything to forgive. Everything is fine" I said lying my face off.

He looked skeptical but said "ok. Well I'm glad. Anyways the final thing I want to bring up is the fact the you're not just a nanny. Sara sees you as something more. She sees you as a friend. I would even bet that she sees you like an older sister. So please. Promise me you won't break Sara's heart" he said looking at me.

"I would never hurt that little girl Ethan. She's suffered enough. I can relate" as soon as I finished that sentence I regretted it.

"What do you mean you can relate?" He asked looking me in the eye.

Oh no what have I done. Before I could make up an excuse I heard "mmmhhmmm" Ethan and I looked up. Mrs. Nelson was standing in front of us. "Miss Evans. Sara is awake and looking for you" she said.

I immediately stood up. "I'm on my way." I said making my way towards the house. I ran in there, without looking back. I just didn't want to face Ethan. I couldn't.

I saw Paige run off. "I swear that girl has no manners. How dare she run off like that. And it looks like she left behind these ice packs" Mrs. Nelson say.

I turned around and saw Mrs. Nelson holding the ice packs. Poor girl so she was in pain. Did she even get her prescription filled? She probably doesn't have the money for it. I'll have my assistant call the doctor and have her get the prescription filled. "It's fine Mrs. Nelson. Sara needs her" I said and walked inside my house.

I had already texted my assistant. She had already reached the doctor and they sent over the prescription to a local pharmacy. It will be ready in an hour.

I thought about what happened these past couple of days. Sara and I were having a great time at Six Flags with Paige. And the kiss. It was short but sweet at the same time. I couldn't get that kiss out of my head. I had to tho. I have a girlfriend.

Cali and I have been dating for years. I don't even know if I still love her. People kept trying to push us to get married. However I just didn't see myself getting married. Not yet anyway.

Still even tho I had Cali, Paige lingered in my head. Poor girl. What happened to her was uncalled for. I felt so guilty when I heard what happened to her. If I would of given her a lift home she would be unharmed. Then a thought popped in my head. She said she knew what it was like to be in Sara's place. I then realized I didn't know much about her. She never told me anything about her family. However I can tell she's been thru some stuff in her life. I need to find out more about her.

My assistant texted me and said the prescription was ready. I went over to the pharmacy and picked it up.

I drove back home and found Paige and Sara watching a movie. "Paige could I talk to you for a second" she nodded and walked outside. I could tell she covered the bruises with makeup. She must of done that for Sara. "Here you go." I said handing her the bag.

"What's this?" She asked looking at the bag.

"It's your pain medication. I forgot to fill it yesterday so I had my assistant do it today" I said.

"Ethan I cant accept this. I already owe you for the ER visit, I can't...."

"It's fine. We Can discuss that later. Just take them and let me know if you need anything" I said.

She hesitated but nodded. "Thanks. No one has ever been so nice to me. I don't know how to thank you" she smiled at me and walked into Sara's room.

What did she mean by no one has ever been this nice to her. She's such a sweet girl. She deserves good things in her life.

Just what are you hiding Paige?
