Let's just say Collins wasn't kidding when he said I would pay for the cinnamon incident.

"What happened here?!" I asked Collins immediately I entered his room the next morning to find it a complete mess. Normally Julia is in charge of cleaning his room yet today he specifically asked for me, shocker.

"Welcome to my  sweet revenge. You had your fun now's my turn" He said with a triumphant smirk on his face.

"I cant believe you would do this just to get back on me."

"You think I will intentionally trash my own room just so you'll have to clean." He scoffed.

"Yes!"

"Then you thought right. Start  cleaning I have a long list of chores just so you" he said in a sickly sweet voice. He really wasn't kidding about the long list. For a whole week he continued the torture. I had to fight with him every single day and the annoying part was he actually seemed to be enjoying himself. Its already being a month since I became his personal maid. Its been raining all day. I really hope it stops before its time for me to go home.

"You look exhausted" Maria said to me when I entered the kitchen after scrubbing Collins bathroom. I had to change my clothes because I felt disgusted and that didn't even work.

"Tell me about it. Collins is a devils spawn. I don't know why you could like him so much." Maria adores him. She was his nanny after all. She practically raised him yet look at how he turned out.

"He's a good kid once you give him a chance."  she said with a motherly smile on her face.

She looked like she believed what she was saying. She actually put Collins and good in the same sentence.

"Yeah right like he coul-" My phone rang cutting me off. The caller ID showed it was Ian. He never calls me at work which shows something bad might have happened.

"Hey Ian. Everything alright." I asked immediately after I answer.

"No. I'm in the hospital now. I just had a minor accident." I heart started beating faster. It felt like when I got the news about my parent's accident. It still haunts me till this day.

"What happened? Are you okay. Oh God please tell me the kids are alright." I didn't even realize I was panting and the I couldn't even control the panic I felt inside. I was hyperventilating.

"Calm down El. I am fine. I don't know about the kids."

"What do you mean you don't know. You were supposed to pick them up." If something happens to them too I don't think I will survive.

"I know. I was on my way to pick them and I crashed into a tree. The air bag took most of the impact but I couldn't get to the school. They are probably still at the school. I would go for them but the doctor said I have to stay for a few more hours." He explained.

"Yeah. Thanks and see you soon. I have to go get them" Its been like two hours since their school was out. Please let them be o.k. I silently prayed.

"Be careful its still raining." he caution.

"O.K." I said then hang up.

"Is everything alright dear." Maria asked with a worried expression on her face.

"My friend just had an accident and my siblings are still in school I have to go and pick them up." I told her then rushed out still in my uniform. It was still raining heavily when I got outside.

"Let George take you. You cant get a bus in this rain." Maria said from behind me. George is the chauffeur. Any other day I would have protested but I have no choice now. I put my phone into my waterproof purse.

"Thanks." I said. I got into the car and told George the name of their school. The parking lot was empty and the whole school was empty. I got down just after he stopped the car. I felt the rain beating down on me but I didn't care I just wanted to find them. I looked every where and called out but I got.

"Oh God what am I going to do?" I murmured to myself. I dragged my fingers through my wet hair.

"Isn't there a chance they went home.?" George asked. He had an umbrella in his hands which he placed over me like I wasn't soaking wet already.

"Nah I highly doubt that." My phone rang before he could say anything. It was an unknown caller.

"Hello" I answered.

"Am I speaking to Elsa Fray please.?" a male voice asked from the other side.

"Yeah. Who is this please?"

"I'm Zack, a music teacher at your siblings' school. They are here with me." he said. I felt so relief they were alright even though they are with some stranger I don't know.

"Where are you guys?" I asked and motioned George for him to take us to the car.

"A diner just down from the school. Lucy's diner." he said. I told George and he drove us there.

"I'll be there in five."

I rushed into the diner and was so happy to see Liam and Lena sitting by a table eating. I ran over there. They squealed my name when they saw me. I hugged them.

"Don't you kids dare scare me again. I was worried sick." I said inspecting their faces to see if they were fine.

"Sorry. We waited for Ian but he didn't come for us and everyone left. But then Mr. Monroe came and saw us then brought us here because we were hungry then he took your number and called you." Lena explained. I looked up to meet two hazel eyes already staring at me. He had brown short hair.

"I'm Elsa. Thanks for taking care of my siblings." I said to him.

"I'm Zack and I'm glad I could help. Nice to meet you." He smiled and stretched his hand out to me. I smiled back and shook his hands. He looked at me from my head to toe, not in rude way, but I still felt a little conscious since I wasn't that dried up yet.

"Where is Ian?" Liam ask breaking into my thought.

"He had a little accident on his way to pick you up. He's fine." I assured them when I saw their panicked expression. Probably thinking about our parents too.

"He'll be home when we get there right?" Liam inquired with hopeful eyes. I really had no idea. I feel awful I haven't even called back to check on him. I made a mental note to call him on our way back home. 

"Yeah. Probably." He just nodded.

"Ian is Elsa's best friend. He takes care of us too." Lena explained to Zack who smiled and nodded at her.

"We should get going. Thanks again. It was nice meeting you." I said to Zack.

"Yeah. Do you guys need a lift?" he asked.

"No. thanks. I already came with someone."

"Cool. Bye then."

"Bye." I turned and left with my siblings to go back home since it was already too late to go to back to the Belkin residence. This day has been crazy one of the high lights was meeting Zack. He seemed like a nice guy in other words total opposite of Collins.
