Chapter 1| Chapter 2

Chapter 3

Y/N looked at her phone, almost expecting a text. Once she realized he was in the clear, she realized she needed help. She pulled out her phone, screen shot all the messages between her and Harrison, and then them off to her best friend. Hopefully she would get some quick help.

She got Avri to settle in with her coloring pages, helping her when her assistance was required of the child. She occasionally checked the time, knowing Avri would need to be fed lunch soon. She definitely wanted to avoid a certain blonde- haired boy, but she also knew it would be incredibly selfish to make Avri wait to eat. Avri wanted to go to the main food area to eat, not wanting to snack the day away.

Once it was the right time for lunch, Avri put away the items she was working with and grabbed Y/N’s hand. Y/N turned to Susan to see if she would join them, but Susan was on a call. Y/N grabbed a scrap piece of paper and left a note, letting her know where they were going. Once that was done, she and Avri headed out.

Luckily, it looked like no one else had come in for lunch. She quickly got both her and Avri’s food, setting it down at their table. Once they were settled in, Y/N took a quick look at her phone. There was a response from her best friend and she quickly read over the advice.

Seriously girl! He wants to talk to you, don’t leave him hanging!

A second text read also, what does this hottie look like? I need a pic!

Laughing, she creeped on Harrison’s Instagram to find a suitable photo of him. Once she found one, she screenshot it and sent it off.

She knew she needed to be a little bit nicer, but she also needed to protect herself. She brushed it off, waiting until she could get more help.

Avri happily ate her food, not having anyone or anything to distract her. Once she was done, she made her movie request for the afternoon- she wanted to watch Mulan. Of course, Y/N agreed.

Y/N and Avri made quick work of cleaning up their mess, Avri always being an amazing helper. Once they were done, they headed back to the trailer. They were almost there when Avri started to tug on Y/N’s hand. When Y/N followed Avri’s eyes, we saw her looking at a dog. Not just any dog, a Grey pitbull, who seemed to know who Avri was, as its tail began to wag. The dog was on a leash but the leash was gently looped around the handle of a trailer door.

“Thessssa!” Avri cried, trying to lead Y/N towards the pup. Not knowing who the dog belonged to or if it was okay to pet, Y/N resisted.

“Y/N I wanna see Thesa.” Avri said, pulling on her nanny’s hand.

“Avri, who’s dog is that? We cannot pet dogs without asking the owner.”

Before the child could answer, the trailer door opened and out walked Harrison and Tom. Both boys greeted the playful pup.

“Y/N pleaseeee? It’s Tom’s dog. Can I please go play?” She looked up at her nanny, but never tried to pull away from her.

“Well, we have to ask Tom if it’s okay first.” Hearing his name, Tom looked up, noticing the pair.

“Why hello darlings. Do you want to play with Tessa?” Tom said, offering a toy for Avri to throw. Y/N gently nudged Avri to take the toy from Tom. Avri threw it as far as she could, Tessa chasing after it right away.

“She should play baseball” Y/N as she watched the ball clear several trailers worth of length. Both of the boys agreed with her while Avri giggled with glee watching Tessa chase after the toy.

“And what were you ladies up to before you got distracted?” Harrison asked.

“We had lunch!” Avri answered, throwing the toy again for Tessa to chase.

“And what fine cuisine did you have?” Tom asked Avri.

“Y/N let me have chicken nuggets, but if my mom asks, I had a salad.” Avri said, reciting the line Y/N had told her. Both boys turned to Y/N for an explanation.

“She’s little and no kid wants to have a salad for lunch. I figured if someone could keep it quiet, we would be just fine” she said, shooting a playful look at Avri. Avri shrugged and kept playing with Tessa, who had laid down for pats and rubs from the four humans. Harrison started laughing.

“So we have figured out your secret- you make children lie on your behalf.” He said in between laughs.

“If I followed Susan’s meal plan for her, she would eat like a runway model. I want her to be a kid! Superfood salads are not what a kid wants to eat!” Y/N said.

“Fair enough. I love the lie though.” Harrison replied. Y/N turned her attention to Avri, making sure she was being gentle to Tessa. Avri was rubbing all over Tessa’s body, and the dog was loving the attention. Tom had joined in and was helping Avri find all of Tessa’s favorite spots.

“Is Tessa staying with you all?” Y/N asked Harrison.

“She is, and normally she does not come to set but tommy threw a fit today, so here she is.”

“Oi! I did not throw a fit” Tomsaid, defending himself. “I love Tessa and I wanted her to be with me today, that’s all. I never get to travel with her, so I want to spend as much time with her before my mom comes and gets her.” Avri’s eyes got big.

“Tessa is leaving?! When?! Whyyy?!” She yelled, on the verge of tears. Y/N went to go console her but Harrison stopped her with a shake of his head.

“Oh she’s not leaving soon, but in a couple of weeks. When I go home.”

“Where is home? I want to see Tessa” Avri questioned, not fully understanding the situation.

“I live in England, all the way over the ocean” Tom answered her question.

“Okay, I will ask to visit there then. I love Tessa” Avri added, acting like it was nothing to go across an oven to see a dog.

“Love, I promise you will see Tessa everyday until we leave okay? After that, you might have to settle for pictures.” Once the last sentence sunk into Avris head, the tears began flowing down her cheeks.

“No. No. NO! I want to see Tessa whenever I want, and not in pictures!” She started to wail and turned to her nanny. “I want to go to momma now.” She said, grabbing Y/N’s hand and tugging her in the direction of her mother.

Y/N, completely shocked at her behavior, allowed herself to be dragged away. Before they turned the corner, Y/N glanced back to see confused looks on both boys faces. She shrugged and she turned the corner. Once they were safely away from the boys, she halted Avri in her path.

“Avri, what happened? What is the matter?” Y/N crouched down to the small child’s eye level.

“I don’t like that everyone leaves. Then we have to go somewhere else, and Exton goes to another trailer and I’m all alone. I hate it!” She started crying again at the end of her mini speech.

Y/N knew the constant movement and change was not normal, sometimes she had a hard time adjusting. This was going to be a lifetime challenge for a child, with both parents in the movie industry. Y/N tried her hardest to make things normal for Avri, but clearly she was failing. She knew however that the small child was watching her reaction, and realized now was not the time to lose her cool.

“How about we go back to the trailer and watch a movie okay? I think you are feeling a lot of things, and we need to take a moment to figure this all out okay? However, yelling at Tom like that was not okay. You need to apologize to him when you see him next Okay? He did nothing wrong and he is probably upset right now. That was not nice and we don’t talk to others that way. Does that make sense?” Y/N knew Avri was much more mature that kids her age, and Y/N hoped the message would sink in. She did not want to go thru this ever again.

Avri has stopped crying and was now nodding her head as she wiped away the last of her tears. Once that was done, she once again took Y/N’s hand and they finished they walk back to the Downey’s trailer.

Once there, Y/N got Avri all set up for her afternoon movie then nap. Once Avri was settled in, Y/N settled herself in, checking her phone. There were several text messages, some from her mother and sister, some from her best friend and almost twenty from Harrison and an unknown number. Y/N immediately looked over the ones from the unknown number. By the third message, she realized this was Tom texting her. She quickly sent a message to both of the boys so they would not worry.

Sorry. I was walking Avri back and we talked a bit and I didn’t even check my phone. She feels bad for the way she behaved, but I think she needs to rest for a bit.

She quickly hit send, going thru the messages from her mother and sister, replying to all of them. Both of them knew what she did and who she worked for, and she could freely talk to them about what was going on. She wanted to call and talk to her mom, but she could not do so in front of Avri and Susan was in the other part of the trailer on her phone. She knew she would have to wait until Avri was asleep.

She went back and checked the messages from her best friend. She chuckled at the advice given.

Damn girl! You are holding out!! GET IT.

Followed by

Also, completely off topic, does he have a hot brother or friend? I’ll take either, or both ;)

Y/N rolled her eyes at her best friends antics. She quickly replied.

Listen, he’s nice but he’s way out of my league. I can’t, plus ya know, he’s from somewhere else. I will have to find out the answer to your question for you, but his bestie is pretty hot.

The quick reply from her best friend read:

Pics or you’re lying. She laughed and quickly sent a picture of Tom, knowing her best friend was glued to the phone, waiting on a reponse. She was not shocked when a response came in right away.

D. A. M. N. I’m off to take a cold shower, thanks!

Y/N let out a quiet laugh and turned to see Avri out cold next to her. Y/N quickly muted the movie and brought Avri to her bed to nap. Y/N thought about also taking a nap, but she did not want to make Avri share the bed with her. Instead, Y/N cracked her back and started to head out to take a walk. When she reached the door, she heard Susan clear her throat.

“Y/N did something happen today after lunch? Rob just called and said something happened with Tom?” Y/N brought her hand off the handle and turned to Susan.

“Yes, Avri had a bit of a fit when she found out that Tom and Tessa were not staying here. I already talked her about it, and she is going to apologize to Tom, she just needed to rest for a bit.” Susan looked at her for a pause before speaking.

“When something like this happens, you need to let us know. That was completely out of line and out of character for her. She needs to apologize to Tom and Maybe she needs to stay in the trailer more. What did you tell her?”

“I think she just gets sad that the same people are not always around. I told her that she cannot act like that towards people and she probably hurt Toms feelings-“

“Go wake her up please. I want to talk to her now.” Susan said, cutting her off. Y/N knew better than to argue and went to wake Avri up. Avri looked over at Y/N when she woke her up.

“Hmm?”

“Your mom wants to talk to you, she’s not happy about what happened with Tom.” A look of fear crossed over Avri’s face.

“I’m sowieeee and I will tell him that too.”

“I know you will, but your mom wants to talk to you. Cmon.” Y/N took her by the hand and brought her into the main area, where Susan had not been joined by Rob.

“Daddy!” Avri said, running with arms outreached to Robert. Her father quickly picked her up, placing her on his hip.

“So I heard we had a little issue earlier hm?” He said, questioning Avri.

“Yes papa, I was mean to Tom. I need to say sorry, Y/N already told me.” Rob’s eyes looked up, connecting with Y/N’s. “Why don’t we go see him now and apologize?” Without a further word, Rob tookAvri out the trailer with him.

“Y/N, you are the nanny and you should have had her apologize to Tom right then. Were you actually going to make her say sorry? Or were you just hoping we would not hear about it?” Susan questioned Y/N.

“I was, she just needed to cool down. She-“

“That was not your decision to make. You are the nanny, not a parent. You should have said something to us. It is totally embarrassing that we had to find out from Tom that our child misbehaved.” By this point, Y/N was almost in tears. “I think it’s best that you go back to the house for now. We will take care of our children for the rest of the day, and take them to dinner. I’ll get someone from security to drive you home.”

Y/N was in total disbelief. She thought she was doing the right thing. She can’t believe she messed up. What if she got fired? That thought kept racing through her head, over and over. She quickly packed up her belongings and headed towards the area where she was normally dropped off and picked up. She felt her phone vibrating in her pocket, but she chose to ignore it.

Once she was in the parking lot, she quickly spotted the car. She heard someone calling her name, but she quickly got into the car and closed the door. The driver took off, taking her back the familiar route to the Downey’s home. Usually she looked at her phone during the trips to and from, but this time, she put her phone on do not disturb and looked at the view.

Once she got to the Downey’s home, she quickly packed everything she could, not knowing if she would be able to once the Downey’s got home. Knowing she had just a few hours, she took a shower and quickly started a load of laundry for herself.

Once out of the shower, she had no choice but to face reality- she could really be fired. She decided to call her mother, knowing this would help alleviate her tension. She quickly called her mom up, but her mom did not pick up. She left a voicemail requesting her mom call her back as soon as possible, as she may be coming home.

Once she hung up, she turned the ringer on and started looking through her messages. She ignored the ones from her best friend momentarily while she opened the almost 45 texts from Harrison.

“What could he possibly want?” Y/N groaned.

The messages started off with him saying Tom was not upset at all at Avri, but wanted to make sure the girl was okay. Then it turned into warning her that Robert had overheard the two boys talking and Robert had gotten quite upset about the lack of his daughters manners. Then the boys tried to tell him that it sounded like Avri was upset about something bigger, to which Robert shrugged off, stating that a small child could never have such big issues. Then it turned into Robert being upset that she had not immediately made the child apologize to Tom. At that point, Y/N had to take a break. This whole thing was just so overwhelming for her.

Her phone rang, cutting off her thoughts. Assuming it was her mother, she immediately answered the phone without checking the caller ID.

“Hi Mom-“ Y/N greeted the caller.

“Mum? Please don’t hang up Y/N it’s Tom. Please let me explain-“

“Explain what? How you most likely got me fired? Your best friend already did a bang-up job. Would it have been so hard for you to go someplace quiet to talk?” Y/N heard some commotion on the other end of the line.

“Y/N please. Tom and I are both very sorry and we should not have said anything. We are so sorry and we really hope you don’t get fired” Harrison pleaded with her.

“You are both incredibly sweet, but what’s done is done. I’m going to be honest, I am frustrated and upset with both of you at this moment. However, I am more so with myself, and I will continue to be. I really can’t talk right now- I need to pack everything so when they fired me, I can just grab and go.”

“Oh, uh, is there anything we can do?” Y/N heard Tom ask.

“No, not really. This is out of our hands. I really do have to go” with that, Y/N hung up. She quickly ran to get her now done laundry out of the dryer and folded them into her bag. She began to move everything to right by her door. She checked the time, knowing the family would be home soon. She knew she should eat, but she just could not bring herself to do so.

She sat and waited until she heard the car pull into the driveway.
