Before Rissy has even managed to get her foot on the first step of the slide, a booming voice echoes around the room. “I should have guessed I would find you boys messing around in here with the hired help when we have a wedding to plan.”

What?! My brain screams at me. Who is getting married? A hundred other thoughts travel through my mind as my stomach drops to my feet. I watch as Rissy ducks behind Viking’s legs to hide away from Bashsheba. Rissy has never been fond of people shouting around her; it forces her back in her shell, like a turtle. I want to march up to this woman and give her a piece of my mind, but I have no idea how Phoenix would take it, and she looks like one of those women who would run and tattle straight away instead of fighting her own battles. She looks like she has never had to fight for anything in her life, everything has just been handed to her.

Climbing out of the pool, I keep my eyes locked on Rissy. She is my only concern right now. “You!” I hear. Looking over at the doll, I see she is indeed talking to me. “Can you not dress like a stripper around my fiances?” she says with a sneer. Did I just hear that right, she said fiances, as in plural? Does that mean she is marrying all of the guys?

I look at them, waiting for one of them to correct her, but they are all shifting around, staring at everything else in the room and never once glancing at me. God, I am so stupid to think these guys were interested in me. I've just been a bit of fun before marriage. Before I can lose any more of my dignity, I grab Rissy's hand and rush from the pool room in the direction of our wing.

“Mysa, wait, let me explain,” I hear Viking shout behind me, but I don’t stop. I just keep running while Rissy trails behind me. All my emotions are a jumbled mess swirling inside of me. I want to find a dark corner and cry, but at the same time I want to pound my fists into the walls. I'm so angry, yet, so very disappointed. We had such a good thing going here, but Bashsheba isn't going to let us stay when she has married the guys. She is too jealous to let us stay. Do I start looking for a new job and place to live now? Before we get in any deeper, or do we wait until we are kicked to the curb? Can I stand by and watch these guys get married to her? Can I watch them go from being funny, open, and honest with Rissy and I, to distant and ignoring us again?

How will I explain it to Rissy? She will have gone from having these guys as her best friends to being alone again. I can't watch her go back to the shy, timid girl she was before.
