One Hundred and Seventeen - Visiting Home

Smiling, nanny Pierce held my hand, "come, we have some visitors" she walks ahead of me and I turned around inviting Mel and Gerard to follow us, since we already know whose inside.

While nanny Pierce was excited that I was here at the same time as Amelia, I was shocked to see Adian's ex, sitting beside Amelia Knights on a long sofa, in my living room.

"Mrs. Knights" smiling outwardly, cringing inwardly, I greeted her, nodding politely to the ex.

Mel walked in after me and I couldn't see her expression when she saw her husband's mistress, but the ex was definitely surprise to see us here.

Standing up the bitch addressed us, "what are they doing here?" she looked accusingly at Mel and I while nanny Pierce, stared at us, confused.

Chuckling dryly, "I think the question is, what are you doing here, in my apartment?" I asked, as she now turns to Amelia, confused.

Amelia, ignored her, focusing on me, "why are these people here?" she asks rudely angering me more than I already am.

Shrugging, "they're my guests in MY APARTMENT" I reminded her firmly, turning to walk away, towards the kitchen. Reaching across to take the bags from Gerard with my left hand, my charm bracelet dangles in front of me.

"Where did you get that?" Amelia suddenly asks harshly and I turned around surprise.

"What?" I asked innocently, before following her gaze, to my charm bracelet.

"What?" I repeated, wondering what is wrong. Frowning I stare at Amelia who looks as if she's seen a ghost.

Staring at the band, my mother's. I put it on for strength and confidence to face Amelia but the sight of it freaks her out.

Smiling, I lifted the bracelet in front of her admiring it. "it's beautiful. Right?" I asked, her wide eyes staring at it, while I mock her, knowing that it's my mother's and I am guessing that she also remembers it.

"Where did you get it?" Amelia asks in a softer tone, appearing to be in a daze.

My eyes flicker to Adian's ex, before I walked off towards the kitchen with Mel and Gerard in tow, ignoring Amelia.

"What was that all about?" Mel asks as I place the bags on the kitchen counter, my body shaking.

"I'm not sure." I mumbled.

"Are you okay?" Gerard asks coming forward.

Nodding, I smiled at him, gazing at the bracelet on my wrist.

I opened the refrigerator to pack the frozen items I brought nanny Pierce and was surprise, when I came face to face, with an empty refrigerator.

Stepping back, wondering what has she eaten since I've been away?

Storming into the living room where I left nanny Pierce with Amelia and that slut.

"May I speak to you?" I demanded from nanny Pierce, my eyes sending daggers into her, while I am also aware that I interrupted an intense conversation, between the three of them.

The slut, sat quietly, observing nanny Pierce and I, while the surprise look on Amelia's face has now been replace with the same animosity that she has shown me since Cold Springs.

Looking at the two women seated in front of us, nanny Pierce and I stepped out of the living room and we walked back into the kitchen.

Nanny Pierce, immediately started defending herself, "Hailey, I didn't invited them here. Their arrival was unexpected." Nanny Pierce explained and while I am interested in why they are here, I am more concern with what has been going on with nanny Pierce.

"Why isn't there any food in the refrigerator." I got straight to the point, surprising her, watching as she flusters to answer me.

"Uh, I haven't gotten around to making a grocery shopping since you left." Nanny Pierce, stares at the grocery bags I place on the kitchen counter. "Thank you for bringing those." She gratefully accepts the little that I have bought her.

This is the nanny Pierce that is never honest with me, the nanny Pierce that I ran from, but she is the same one who loves me as I love her.

.

"You are lying," I responded as she kept avoiding my eyes, which I haven't move since we got into the kitchen.

Looking nervously towards the kitchen door, "can we talk another time?" She whispers, her light eyes pleading with me.

I followed her gaze briefly, "why are they here?" I whispered.

Lifting her shoulders, shrugging, "I am not sure, but they are asking about you and your medical records." Nanny Pierce started and I was thrown back with that.

My entire body freezes, "why?" I ask, already under the impression, they want to use it against me. "I am over twenty one and I am allowed access to those files." I reminded her, trying to intimidate her. "So where is it?" I demanded.

Nanny Pierce, twiddles her fingers nervously, "Hailey, I.. I don't know what to say. Mrs. Knights is demanding those files." She admits, nervously.

Titling my head, observing nanny Pierce fear, there is only one way to do this, "I remember a lot of things and one of the things I remember is that you fought for me to remain with you and not be place into a mental institute." I reminded her, her eyes widening, before a small smile appears on her lips.

"You remembered." Nanny Pierces, whispers to herself.

I simply nodded, "now where are the files?" I asked again in a gentler tone.

Unpinning a bunch of keys, she silently selects one key and hands it to me, "last draw in my dressing room. Take every file and snap the lock. Pack some clothes to cover the files. I will stall them." She says, already walking away from the kitchen, giving me a shove, into the corridor up the stairs.

I knew exactly which draw she is sending me to since I've always wondered what was hidden in there.

I returned in the middle of a brawl.
