Chapter One
"Everybody makes mistakes, everybody has those days..." I closed my eyes and laid my head against the brown leather couch as I listened to Rachel sing some Hannah Montana song on her karaoke machine. Rachel Evans was the girl I watched, along with her sister Carissa. I watched the Evans girls on weekdays and occasionally on weekends as their nanny. Rachel was six and Carissa was just barely a toddler at one and a half years old. It got old, having to take care of them all the time. I mean, the girls are adorable, with their blonde hair and crystals for eyes. But Rachel is obsessed with Hannah Montana, and Carissa is such a needy baby! But whatever.
"Woo!!" Rachel screeched, finishing the song with a bang. "You wanna try Seana?" she asked, hanging me the plastic pink mic. I really didn't want to. "Okay," I agreed, "one song."
I scrolled through the songs and landed upon "Best of Both Worlds". "Yeah, pick that one! Pick that one!" Rachel screamed and started jumping up and down. "Okay okay hold on" I said. The song started and I cleared my throat. "You get the limo out front... oh oh oh". I sang. I flew through the song. "...mix it all together and ya know you get the best of both worlds!" I sang. The scores came up. I had gotten 100% where Rachel had gotten a mere 56%. Suddenly Rachel started whimpering. "Buh, buh, but I wanted to win!! I should have won!!" She tearfully ran upstairs to her room. "Rachel.." I sighed. She slammed her door. The loud noise made Carissa start crying. "WAAAHHH!" She started kicking and screaming. I unwillingly lifted her up and started rubbing her back. "Shhh," I cooed, "it's alright. It's alright."
Vvvvvb. Vvvvvvbb. I felt my iPhone vibrate in my pocket. "Shoot" I said as I fumbled around with the baby in my arms. I reached down to grab my phone and I got it. But as I was pulling it up to my ear, Carissa wiggled and I suddenly lost my hold on her. "Aha!" She wailed as she fell down. Oomph! She had landed on the edge of the sofa. "That was close," I said, panicked. Quickly I answered my phone as I picked Carissa up and soothed her. "Hello?"
