The celebrity

Chapter 7

Y/N POV

As I'm in the bathroom I hear that the people Scarlett have greeted are her husband and child. I listen to their conversation almost falling asleep several times, I hear her husband saying he's taking their daughter to bed. I wait until I don't hear anymore footsteps, I unlock the door. As I open the door I see Scarlett staring at me. I quickly looked behind her to see three plates of half eaten pasta on the table.

So much for that apology dinner

I quickly looked away as I feel a teardrop roll down my cheek I walk towards the door picking up my shirt on my way out. Scarlett ends up stopping me, we exchange a few words until....

I hear footsteps coming down the stairs and so does Scarlett she turns her head to look, I take that opportunity to leave and walk out the door.

I should call an Uber

I scan around my surrounding to see that it's a dark and beautiful night, Scarlett basically lives in the middle of nowhere so it's nice and quiet. I choose to walk for a bit to clear my mind from the events that occurred tonight.

I'll just uber back home in a couple minutes

As I'm walking thoughts of tonight's events enter my mind. Hearing their conversation through the bathroom door they sounded like a happy family, talking, laughing, and eating together. Hearing them felt like a knife in my back. I don't know why I'm feeling this way I knew from the start this wouldn't work, she's an A-list celebrity and I'm just a regular college student. And there was no way I was going to tear down a family, especially because of their daughter she deserves 2 parents that loves her and each other. Lost in thought I don't even realize where I'm going until I'm standing in the middle of the road. In a quick second headlights enter my peripheral vision, I'm about to turn back and run but it's too late. I feel a striking pain hits my side, I end up rolling off the car front and onto the floor. My vision is going in and out but I see a boy around my age get out and curse, he tried to help me until he notices the gash of blood seeping through my shirt. He quickly mutters sorry and drives off in his car. My eyes closes as I'm slowly consumed by darkness.

Flashback (a couple months ago)
I open up my eyes waking up in my bedroom, I can hear bickering coming from downstairs. I walk down the steps to see my parents arguing. They used to be happy once and we were one happy family until my dad cheated on my mom that's when things took a turn for the worse. They worked it out or so I thought, they decided to stay together but in the end I just wish they would divorce. I was miserable having to deal with the arguing I just wished they'd leave me alone.
"Good morning y/n." My parents say in unison
"Hey mom and dad."
They both look at each other
"What?"
My dad looks to me and says
"Honey, me and your mother are going to go out of town to try and fix this relationship, will you be okay on your own?"
"Of course, I'm 18 not 8."
"Are you sure?" My mom says
"Yes and I'll even invite Melissa to sleepover."
"Alright as long as you're sure, we'll be back later tonight."
"Ok."
They both kiss me goodbye and leave. I call Melissa and tell her to come over to spend the night. In a few minutes the doorbell rings
"Coming." I shout
I open the door
"Took you long enough." She laughs
We spend the rest of the day watching Netflix and talking about life.
The doorbell rings
"Must be my parents." I say as I run to go answer it, Melissa follows right behind me. I open the door to see 2 police officers staring down at me.
"Is this the residence of y/l/n?" One of the officers say
"Yes."
"I'm sorry but your parent were involved in a car accident and they were found decreased on the site."
"No, that's not true!" I say starting to hyperventilate
"I'm sorry ma'am but it is, it seems that they died on impact."
"The other driver was also killed it appears to be a drunken accident."
I drop to the ground not being able to feel my legs anymore. Melissa holds me telling me over and over again that everything is going to be fine.

That was the last time I saw my parents

I open my eyes to the sound of machines beeping, I turn to my left to see Melissa sleeping in the chair. I feel someone squeezing my right hand, I turn my face meeting with Scarlett's. We're so close that if either of us move slightly our lips would meet. Being so close to her my heart starts to beat faster, the machine calculating my heart rate beeps loudly causing Melissa to wake up. A nurse runs in and injects a needle in a tube to sedate me, I feel my eyes starting to close again. The last thing I hear is Scarlett saying
"I love you, y/n"
