Anastasia screamed. "Clay! What the heck! Help me! Someone!", she strained. Everyone rushed down to see what was going on. They all went straight to help. Clay slammed his head into the wall and started to cry.
"What did you do?!", Charlotte shouted. "It was only an accident-",
"Only an accident?! You may be king but, god you mustn't just go around shooting everything that you see!".
--------------------------------------------------------
Friday. A bullshit excuse to be happy. Clay didn't wake up. He didn't sleep. He couldn't stand what he just did, last night. Adira slowly came in with Clay's new suit and breakfast. "Good morning, Master. I'm sorry about last night, I really am. Nothing was right yesterday and you know it. I know it.", she sympathized.
"Don't withstand compassion for me. It doesn't get you anywhere. I'm getting an extra maid and butler today. I just want a newer start to things; prove that we're not insane.", Clay stated.
In the game room:
Darby pushed all of playing cards towards Charlotte. "Ha. I win. You're a real shitty card player, innit?", she teased. "Shut up. I'm not the one going to court today-",
"Hey, that's because I'm starting a family, alright?! So stop using that as an advantage because starting a family is something that you could never do!", Charlotte snapped.
Darby smirked. "I couldn't start a family? Really? I can prove to you in about 9 to 10 months that I can start a fucking family.".
"Oh, you're funny! I love your jokes! Completely hilarious! Hey, if your butler job fails, just become a stand up comedian! I'll go to every single one of your shows!", Charlotte laughed then sipped her wine. When she put her glass down, Darby put something in it when she wasn't looking.
Later into the day:
A tailored suit and tie and dragged down from rags; not riches. He only had one quest and it was to work as a butler at the Hickory Hill mansion. Axel, the blonde boy with brown eyes who never fit in with anyone in his life.
Messy, thick, long, gray hair. Sparkly blue eyes. Evie only wants to be rich and this is an easy job for decent money. She showed up in her most fanciest--and shortest--dress that she had. And of course...it had to be red.
Clay opened the mansion doors. "Axel, Evie. Welcome to my mansion. Make sure to get to know everyone before you say something to them. Something might slip. Seriously. It's a safety hazard. No, no, no. They're a safety hazard... Anyways! Welcome! Just go find a room that you'd like and it's yours! Now I have to go to the hospital. So just make yourselves at home. I will order you to do what I suggest when I feel. So, gallivant along, now.", Clay welcomed then left.
Evie speed-walked in and looked around. "Ah! It's so nice in here!", she exclaimed. Evie bumped into Darby as she twirled around in the lobby. She nervously chuckled. "Hi. I'm Evie. The new maid.", Evie muttered, shyly then put her hair behind her ears.
Darby smiled. "You're a fluttery little butterfly, aren't you? I'm Darby. I'm the butler here. I do all of the boring shit, basically", he joked. She giggled. He took her hand and kissed it. She blushed.
Little did they know, Esma has been watching from the stairs, hiding behind a beam. A tear swayed down her cheek. She wiped it then walked down to them. "I'm Esma. Best maid here. Always have been, always will be. So I don't want any competition here.", she awkwardly chuckled.
Evie did a little awkward laugh. "And my boyfriend, Darby, knows what I'm talking about.". "B-boyfriend? Oh I didn't know! I'm sorry, I was kind of flirting with him before.", Evie apologized.
"Oh really? Well at least you apologized for it.", Esma sneered then put her hands on Darby's shoulder from behind. "Esma, can I speak to you in private for one minute?", Darby requested.
They walked off over to the side. "What the hell was that?".
"What do you mean what the hell was that? I was just trying to save you from getting hit on by a slut.", Esma claimed.
"Cut it out. And-we're a thing now?". Esma shrugged then kissed him on the cheek.
Axel approached them. "Sorry to break up a moment or anything but where am I supposed to stay?", he asked. "Didn't Clay tell you to just go and find an empty room? I can lead you to one if you'd like.", Esma offered. "Oh, no, it's totally fine. I'll just go look for one myself if that isn't a problem.".
Axel started walking in the halls on the second floor and heard singing and the sound of soft piano in the background.
Throw my body in a fire pit
Let me rot in hell
Cause if you think you're going back to my heart, I should have fell
No need to worry
I won't put you in the dark
If I threw you out, which I did, and I don't even feel sorry
He put his ear up to a door and just listened.
Tell me why my health is a concern to you
When all you ever did was throw me away, this is true
Never gave me a chance to put my heart out there
Because when you came in here you pulled out my hair
Axel seen there was a room next to the person that was singing and made his home there. He finally mustered up the courage to knock on the door. "Hey, uh, I just couldn't help but tell you-you're an amazing singer.".
Adira smiled and blushed in embarrassment. "Th-thank you. I wrote that song myself. I'm Adira. I'm a maid here. You're....",
"Axel. Nice to meet you.", he finished her sentence. She did a short exhale. "W-would you like me to show you around?". "Sure, that would be nice.".
Night time:
Charlotte sat on the roof, pondering situations in her mind. The time has come. She went inside as everyone ate dinner and threw a pregnancy test in the middle of the table. "Positive.".
