Adopted by Scarlett Johansson

67.

'I'm home! Shouted Clara. She hung her coat on the coat rack and she walked into the living room. 'I'm upstairs.' Called Colin. Clara ran up the stairs to the top. 'Dad, Mckenna's coming over in a minute. Is that okay? Asked Clara. 'From the sound of it you've already agreed so I guess I don't have much choice.' Chuckled Colin.

'Sorry. Mckenna asked this morning and I was so happy she asked that I said yes straight away without asking you.' Replied Clara. 'It's all right. Will you clean up your room before she comes?' Asked Colin. 'Seriously? I still cleaned my room on Thursday.' Struggled Clara. 'At least put your comforter right then.' Said Colin.

Clara walked to her room and she ironed the whole thing out. Then she turned on a song on Spotify and she began to hum along softly. Ever since she was little she loved music. The notes, the soothing feeling, the lyrics that were sung. It gave her a soothing feeling.

Clara was in thought for a while until Colin called out. 'Clara, Mckenna is here.' He shouted. 'I'm coming!' Shouted Clara. She ran downstairs and in the hall stood Colin, Mckenna and her mother Crystal. 'Hi.' Shyly Clara joined them. 'Hey.' Said Mckenna cheerfully.

'I'm going to go to the stores for a bit then Kenna. I'll pick you up in two hours.' Said Crystal to her daughter. 'Is good mom.' Mckenna gave her mother a hug and Crystal left. 'I'm going to work for a while. Will you guys call if there's anything?' Questioningly Colin looked at the girls. 'Is good dad.'

Colin left for his study. 'We have the house all to ourselves. What shall we do?' Clara asked. 'I would like a tour of the house first. It looks big from the outside.' Said Mckenna. 'Oh believe me it is big. The first day I lived here I was literally lost.' Told Clara laughing.

Clara gave Mckenna a tour of the house. Finally, they arrived at Clara's room. 'You really live in a beautiful house.' Complimented Mckenna on her. 'Thanks.' Clara sat down on her desk chair.

'Scarlett is your mother right?' Asked Mckenna. 'Yes no she is my adoptive mother. I'm adopted.' Told Clara. 'Hence your British accent. I really like the accent.' Said Mckenna. 'Yup. I was born in England.' Told Clara. 'You had said that the day before yesterday yes. Really cool. Are you enjoying your time here?' Asked Mckenna.

Clara remained silent for a moment. 'Yep but it's so different now because Scarlett and Rose aren't home.' She then said. 'You miss Scarlett don't you? Noticed Mckenna. 'Very much. I never had anyone who cared about me and suddenly there was Scarlett. She saved me life and I'm so grateful to her for that.'

'Maybe you should tell her that. Have you called her yet? Asked Mckenna. 'No. She sent me a message this morning but I didn't respond to it.' Answered Clara. 'Why not? She sends you a message because she cares about you.' Said Mckenna. 'But she left me here. If she really cared about me she would have stayed here.' Answered Clara stubbornly.

'I understand how it feels but there's money to be made too. Scarlett is a very good actress and many people want her in their movies. It's just nice that she gets offered so many jobs, isn't it?' Mckenna tried to talk her out of it. Clara hadn't thought of it that way.

'Maybe I'll send her a message tonight.' Said Clara. 'Just do it. Scarlett really cares a lot about you. I've never met her but when I look at all the pictures in this house and the way Colin treats you I can see that they really care about you. You shouldn't push them away because you are afraid of losing them. Instead, you should embrace them because you love them.'

'You are right. What wise words.' Chuckled Clara. Mckenna shot up in laughter. 'My grandmother always says that and I thought it suited the subject.' Clara smiled. 'She's right though. Thanks Kenna.' She thanked the girl. 'No problem. I hope you get something out of it.'

'What shall we do? Asked Clara. 'We can make a tiktok.' Said Mckenna. 'All right, but I don't know very many tiktok dances, you know.' Answered Clara modestly. 'That doesn't matter. I do have some fun ideas that we can incorporate.' Said Mckenna.

Mckenna opened tiktok. 'How many followers do you have?' Asked Clara. 'Over a million.' Answered Mckenna. She smiled nervously. 'How so? Clara's eyes grew big. 'No idea. I don't understand it myself either.' Answered Mckenna. 'I think you just make really nice tiktoks.' Thought Clara out loud. Mckenna got a smile on her face. 'I hope so!'
