loving someone else

Holly Campion is looking for a job because her parents don't have the money to send her to the college that she wants to go to so she's trying to make money to pay for her own way to go to Sarah Lawrence.Her brother has to transfer colleges because they don't have the money for him to finish.So she sees an ad in the paper for the perfect job so she goes for an interview. when she gets there she realizes it's an old grungy looking house and she has to take care of two old ladies. The reason is because the oldest one named Blossom just had hip surgery and she's not able so their nephew was looking for someone to take care of them for eight dollars an hour.They told her that she would have to do laundry,dishes.and maybe a little cooking.So she decided to take the job because she figured up how much she would get paid and she figured she would be getting 1,370 dollars a month.The old lady shows her around the house and she shows her her room and says to make herself at home.Well the next day she brings some stuff over to make herself feel more at home and someone comes through the window and it scares her and the old lady came up the stairs because Holly started screaming and said that it was just the repair guy who fixes things for them when they need things repaired and she thought he was cute but not as cute as she thought Avery their nephew was when she saw him the day she got the job because he wanted to see who was taking care of his aunts.The next day Blossom wanted to take her to show her around the town because she wasn't from their side of the town and Pete the repair guy told her to wait until she sees the car because she was excited about going.They went outside to the garage and Blossom opened the door and she saw the car it was a cadillac but the ordinary kind of car it was a herse that belonged to Blossom's husband.Well they started out the driveway and down the road the road was really narrow and there was a car coming and Blossom wasn't slowing down or stopping so Holly got scared and closed her eyes.
