Adopted by Scarlett Johansson

chapter nine - recap

A few days had passed as Maddie woke up from a restless and uncomfortable nights sleep. She could definitely tell that the beds with Ms Roberts were old. Used to sleeping in one of Scarletts beds, last night she felt every mattress spring dig right into back. Stretching, she got up. Back into her normal routine I suppose. Whilst doing her chores around the house she couldn't get the weekend out of her head!

The last few days had been amazing! She had felt so lucky to experience them. To meet two amazing women and form a bond which would hopefully never break felt awesome.
Tuesday night she had arrived back with Ms Roberts. She had had to repeat the story multiple times and even then nobody fully believed her. I mean why would they? It was a surreal experience.
The weekend hadn't started off great obviously. Going to the park had been a great experience until the horrors of Friday night had come crashing down on her, leading to a panic attack AND concussion.
However the rest of the weekend had been great! After having a panic attack they had got a cab back and Scarlett had rushed her inside. Maddie had then spent most of the day in bed due to the concussion, with Rose next to her either reading or drawing pictures for her and pinning them around the room. After a pretty quick recovery the next day she had felt well enough to get up and start to move around. They had gone for a gentle walk in another near by park (obviously not Central Park) and finished the day off with some lunch. On Monday, Scarlett had taken both the girls shopping. Allowing them to pick out an outfit each and something they really wanted. Rose picked out a new Lego's set and Maddie had bought a new set of headphones. Tuesday had been quite a chilled day. Lizzie left in the morning to fly back to Los Angeles and Maddie left later that day.
Hoping the weekend would never end Maddie felt really emotional leaving. Why couldn't this be her life?! Scarlett had promised to keep in touch and had promised that she could come and stay whenever she wanted.
"Also this house is always a safe space for you. Even if I'm not here one of my friends will be. Mainly Chris E or Lizzie. So feel free to knock on the door and stay the night if you ever want to get out the foster house or if you feel uncomfortable walking alone and you're in the area"
However. The hour had come and Scarlett had dropped Maddie off. Embracing in a warm hug before departing Maddie glumly made her way inside. Ready to be bombarded with questions about where she had been.

Sorry this chapter is very very short but I promise it's because the next chapters going to be exciting and i kinda just wanted to get to it quicker 🤭.
Anyway, I hope you're all enjoying it! 100 reads already! That's mental. Tysm everyone.
