Ava lay on the bed staring at the ceiling. It had been six weeks since she had moved in and although it had seemed for a while that things were getting better after the car incident, she still felt like she was fighting on multiple fronts. Lucy was definitely out to get her, and Benjamin was not always around to help. Everything Ava did or said was wrong and worthless in the eyes of Lucy Radcliff, and she found herself under the constant attacks of that dragon.

One time she had the audacity to call a meeting when Benjamin had to work late. When Ava had shown up for it, she announced that the house was starting to smell like homeless people and that Ava was expected to change her clothes and shower before she entered the house. Ava was about to quit right there and then, tell Lucy all she had on her mind, when Lorena stepped forward and told Lucy that they had found a dead mouse in the wall in the library. Any decent person would have apologized to Ava, but not Lucy. Oh no. She had stormed off to plan her next attack, hating Ava even more.

“At least Benjamin is on your side,” her father had said to her in an attempt to encourage her. Strangely enough, the thought of Benjamin helping actually did calm her. Filled her with hope and energy to keep going. The dinners with him were going a lot better. They did not insult one another any longer and even laughed here and there. Topics were kept superficial, nothing deep; but who cared, as long as it was peaceful?

Suddenly, music in the far distance tore Ava away from her thoughts. She rubbed her forehead, listening. The sounds—screams, laughter, loud music, and cheers--seemed to increase. The voices drifting high and low, as if from wandering ghosts. She peeked at her phone. 9 P.M.

“What’s going on out there?” she muttered, walking over to the door and opened it slightly. She peeked down the hallway but only saw shadows that matched the cheerful voices coming from the entrance hall downstairs. She walked up to the stairway and leaned over the dark, oak railing. There were people moving around dancing and drinking.

“A party? Seriously?” She was about to go back into the safety of her room when her eyes spotted Lucy Radcliff. She was dressed like she was at the Oscars, sharing an artificial laugh over something the two women standing with her had said. The two women also looked extremely overdressed and were about Lucy’s age. One of them seemed to have noticed Ava and looked over. Lucy now also noticed her. That fake laugh vanished as her brows shot together. She hectically waved at Ava to demand that she return to her room immediately.

Oh…you don’t want me here, huh? Ava lay back on the bed and considered her options. Laughter rose from beyond the door and for some reason brought up the memory of Lucy embarrassing her in front of the whole staff, demanding that she shower before entering the house.
