SCARLETT
I shifted around a bit in bed, tossing over then opening my eyes, blinking a few times to adjust to the light. My focus wandered to the shaking body that close up beside me
"Y/n, Y/n sweetheart" I said, using my free hand to move her hair from her face as my other one was holding her sweaty palm.
I kept repeating my words until she finally woke up, jumping back a bit but then looking up at me. She looked up at me with the saddest eyes I'd ever seen a child give, before silently crying into the pillow beside her
"Oh honey" I whispered and moved my body so I was right up beside her and rubbing her back. Y/n cried into the pillow for a good 15 minutes before tiring herself out and falling asleep again
She had let go of my hand once she turned over, so I was now able to get out of bed without walking her up. I slipped and wandered over to my closet, I picked out an outfit for myself and an outfit for Y/n.
It was clear to say that my clothes were far to big for Y/n, the hoodie she wore yesterday practically drowned her, you couldn't even see the shorts she was wearing
I picked out a similar outfit, just a white hoodie with some writing on it and some ripped black jeans that were two sizes to small for me
I laid out outfits in the bed and thought wether I should take a shower before waking Y/n up, i chose not to because if Y/n woke up and saw I wasn't here I didn't want her to panic
"Y/n love. It's time to wake up" I whispered stroking her cheek gently, Y/n groaned lightly and opened her eyes a small bit before looking straight at me
"Come on, I've got you an outfit" I said kissing her cheek and standing back up walking back down the end of the bed.
Y/n slipped out of bed and onto the floor, tiredly walking over to me. She crashed into me, wrapping her arms around my waist and pressing her face into my chest
"You alright" I asked rubbing her back and stroking her hair, she nodded her head and took a deep breath, turning her head and looking at her outfit
"Woah, thank you" Y/n said with a happy expression, letting go of me and running her hand down the hoodie
"Stop thanking me, you deserve all this" I said pinching both sides of her stomach making her squirm and giggle, god her laugh was adorable, adorable
"I'm going to go in the shower, call me if you need absolutely anything and I'll be out" I said trying to flatten Y/n crazy bed hair with my hand. She nodded her head and gave me a smile which I returned and kissed her head before popping off to the shower
I got into the shower, letting the water trickle down my back while I was in deep thought. What was I really going to do, did Y/n have family that could look after her?
Would I adopt her, I couldn't, I've not even know her for 24 hours and I'm thinking about adoption.
I shook all my thoughts out my head, and washed my body down. I was hoping that the police contacted me today so I knew what I could do, I definitely didn't want Y/n to leave or be taken away to get out somewhere, I wanted to keep her with me, but I might not get that option
I wrapped the towel securely around my body and shook another around my hair making sure that it was dripping wet before tossing it on the floor
As I was about to dry myself down, i heard Y/n gasp from the other side of the room. I didn't waste a second, opening the door, despite me just being in my towel and checking the room
"Hey what happened" I asked walking over to Y/n, holding the top of my towel praying that it wouldn't fall because I think Y/n would probably want to leave there and then
"I accidentally broke this, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean too" Y/n said shy-ly, holding up a broken clothes hanger
"It's alright. It's just a piece of plastic honey, I have like thousands more, you don't need to say sorry" I chuckled lifting her chin up and throwing the clothes hanger in the trash can while stroking her cheek
"You can finish getting changed, while I get ready and then we can get some breakfast" I suggested, Y/n gave me a warm smile and nodded her head.
I disappeared back into the bathroom, drying myself down and put on my new clothes, i bundled up my towel and pyjamas, leaving the bathroom seeing Y/n sat on the bed waiting for me
"Come on then munchkin" I said extending my hand for her, which she took and followed me back down the stairs.
"We can go out for breakfast, I can make breakfast. What do you want to do" I offered after shoving the towels and dirty laundry into the washing machine and starting that
"I don't know" Y/n said nervously, biting the skin around her nail, I placed my other hand on top of her's lowering her hand away and holding them both in mine
"How about, we got out for breakfast, then we can talk about ourselves and get to know each other more" I asked, Y/n smiled once again and nodded her head happily
"I'll find some shoes for you, because yours are still damp" I said leading her over to the cupboard and searching through it. I got out a pair of black shoes and some white converse.
"Thank you" Y/n beamed as I handed her the white converse, she sat down, putting them on before jumping back up grabbing my hand.
I took my purse and we headed out the door, I decided it would be good day to walk, the air was cold, with it being November, it wasn't going to be very warm, but sometimes walking in the cold isn't a bad thing. Only when it rains.
After a small walk, we arrived at a little morning cafe i come to quite often. Y/n walked in with me, holding my hand tighter as it was kind of busier than usual
"Hey Scarlett" One of the waiters greeted, i waved back and took a seat in a booth near the back, normally so no paparazzi could take photos as they were crazy
"Here's the menu, the portions are quite large here just so you know" I said passing her a menu, her eyes scanned over it as she was deciding what to eat
"There's a lot" She mumbled as she ran her finger down the menu, the knee was bouncing as she was looking around at everyone
"Hey you alright" I said placing my hand on her knee from under the table. She looked back at me nodding her head
"There a lot of people" She mumbled again and continued to look around the cafe. I held my hand out, letting her take it
"Come here" I said softly, she got out of her seat and walked over to me, standing in front of me. I carefully lifted her onto my lap so she was facing me
"It's okay, you don't need to focus on them" I said placing my hands on her cheeks gently, she nodded my head and leaned forward resting on my shoulder
"You can stay here if you want, you don't have to sit over there if you'd rather sit here" I said as Y/n started to get off my lap
"It's okay" She chuckled and went back to her seat. A waiter came and got our orders, disappearing not long after, me and Y/n were having a little talk until I got a phone call
"I will be one minute" I said answering the phone and just standing behind the booth making sure Y/n still knew where I was
"Hello, is this Scarlett?"
