Day two wasn't any better than his first day, Dan was just glad that it was over. His boss Phil wasn't really the kind to warm up to anyone, pretty much everyone was terrified of him. He just wanted to get out of this place now. He grabbed his and started to make his way out but then bumped into someone knocking them and himself back.

"I am so sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going." He apologized quickly.

"Hey don't worry about it." A friendly voice said. He bumped into Victoria, she was Phil's maid.

"I thought I bumped into the boss. But I really am sorry." Dan sighed in relief, he started helping her refold the sheets that had fallen with her.

"Everyone is terrified of Phil aren't they?" She said laughing slightly. It was odd to hear someone say his first name, everyone either called him boss or Mr. Lester. "He's not so bad once you get to know him."

"I don't think I want to get to know him." Dan mumbled making her laugh.

"I've worked in this mansion for years, I've known Phil for a really long time we're friends. He's actually really sweet." She smiled folding one of the sheets. "But I get that he hasn't really given any of you a reason to think that huh?"

Dan smiled shyly handing her the neatly folded sheets. "Again I'm really sorry I hope I didn't hurt you."

"I'm fine don't worry." She smiled. "What's someone as sweet like you doing working here anyways?"

"I just really need the money, and my ass of an ex lied to me about this place and j guess you can say I'm stuck here now." Dan sighed looking down.

"Oh I'm sorry." She frowned. "Well I'll see you later I should get these to Phil's room. Bye Dan."

He wasn't even home for ten minutes until his Caitlyn was banging on the door. "I heard you the first time no need to almost break my door down." He laughed opening it.

"You and I really need to go out tonight." She said coming inside.

"I can't Caitlyn, I have work tomorrow." He sighed.

"Okay fine, lets just go for coffee. We haven't been able to spend time together for days." She pouted. Dan knew there was no point in arguing with Caitlyn, she always got her way.

"Fine." He sighed finally giving up. He grabbed his keys and followed her out.

They decided to just go to the nearby coffee shop. Dan felt relaxed, it was good to finally spend some time with his best friend. Caitlyn was four years older than Dan, she was a big sister figure for him and she was often really protective over him. He loved that about her, he could always turn to her when he needed someone.

"So how are things with you and your boyfriend?" She asked saying the word boyfriend in a bitter tone. She never liked Nathan and she was not afraid to let him or Dan know that.

"Well um I broke up with him.." Dan started. "I just couldn't take his crap anymore, we dated for four years and it didn't feel like a relationship. I feel like he just needed someone to fuck."

Caitlyn reached over placing her hand over Dans. "You did the right thing, he doesn't deserve you."

Dan smiled slightly at her comment.

"Hey, that cute is looking at you." She whispered signaling to her right. Dan curiously looked that way to see who it is, his heart dropped when he realized it was his boss Phil.

"C-come on lets go walk." Dan whispered grabbing his coffee walking out of the shop as fast as he could.

"What was that about?" Caitlyn asked curiously. "Do you know that man?"

"That's my boss.." Dan sighed slowing down so she could catch up to him.

"Really? He's cute. How is he?" She asked.

"He's 27." Dan said. "And stop calling him cute!"

"Well he is. And he's only seven years older than you." She winked.

"Yeah and he's an asshole." Dan snapped. "Now lets just stop talking about him please." Caitlyn looked at him surprised but nodded her head. She trusted that he had a reason for disliking him that much.

The next day wasn't so great either. "Fuck off Nathan, you're going to get me in trouble."

"You haven't been answering my calls or texts. Whats wrong with you?" Nathan asked grabbing his arm.

"You're going to get me in trouble. And accept the fact that I don't want to see you anymore." Dan said pulling his arm away and walking off.

He was getting ready to go to his client. "It seems like someone has a hard time following my rules." Dan turned around to see Phil standing behind him. Without another word Phil lifted his hand up slapping Dan hard across his face. He could feel his cheek boiling like all the blood was coming up to the surface.

"What did I do now?!" Dan asked furiously which was a mistake because it had only earned him a punch this time making him fall back.

"I made it really clear that there will be no talking to other workers." Phil said gripping onto Dan's arm tightly.

"I never approached him! Nathan approached me I told him not to speak to me." Dan swore. He didn't dare try to pull his arm away from Phil's grip, he knew it would make matters worse for him.

"Next time, follow the fucking rules." Phil said pushing Dan back making him hit the wall. "Now leave before you're late."

Dan made it to his client's place, none of them ever came to Phil's mansion that was just where Phil's office was. They all had to go to the client's houses. A man who looked about sixty opened the door, Dan felt a familiar uncomfortable feeling inside him. He went inside and noticed photos on the wall of the man and who seemed to be his wife. It didn't surprise Dan, the other workers had told him about men who cheat on their wives with them.

"Aren't you kind of young for this? How old are you?" The man asked.

"I-Im twenty.." Dan said trying his best not to sound nervous. His other clients didn't appreciate that, they would resort to hitting.

"You're shaking. I won't hurt you I promise." The man said gesturing towards his couch for Dan to sit down. He took a seat on the opposite couch probably not wanting to make Dan uncomfortable. "Look I don't want to do this, you're so young and you look so uncomfortable."

"I-I have to. My boss will kill me and I really need the money." Dan whispered looking down at his hands.

"What about your family?" The man asked.

"They don't want anything to do with me. They hate me because I'm gay and I dropped out of university." Dan sighed.

"My wife and kids don't know I'm gay." The man said. He got up and went into another room returning with cash. "Here, there's extra here keep it."

"No no I can't take it." Dan said gently pushing the man's hand away but he wasn't taking no for an answer.

"Take it, we won't tell your boss. I'll tell him you were perfectly fine. It'll be our secret." The man smiled. Dan thanked him multiple times he had never met anyone as kind as him. He told Dan to go home and that he will tell Phil that Dan had done everything he was supposed to do.

Before heading home Dan decided to hit the gym. Phil kept telling him that he needs to work out, as lazy as Dan was he was more terrified of his boss.

"Fuck." Dan muttered as he got and realized all his things were in a box outside his apartment. He didn't pay the rent and had been evicted. He quickly looked through the boxes and realized the most important one was locked inside. The box with his father's things, the only memories he had left of him. He got up and quickly knocked on Caitlyn's door.

"I got evicted and my dad's things are still inside." Dan sobbed as she opened the door and let him in. She was not happy with the landlord, she quickly took out her phone and called him demanding he came up and let her get the box that had Dan's fathers things. He came up after fifteen minutes allowing Caitlyn to get the box.

"Here, everything is in here." She said putting the box down in front of Dan. She opened her closet to get a blanket for Dan and set it on her couch. "I'll be in my room if you need anything okay?" She said, she kissed his forehead and left.

Dan made sure all the things were in the box and set it aside. He played down on the couch staring at the ceiling sobbing quietly wondering how much worse things can get, terrified that he might just get an answer.
