Returned to Elizabeth Olsen

15: Lizzie Left?

Y/n's POV:

When the doorbell rang, not-so-nice thoughts started to brew in my head. When Lizzie said it was Scarlett I would have liked to know Scarlett was coming over. instead of having a jump scared, wondering if I needed to hide or not.

When Lizzie went to the door I sought comfort in MK. Walking into the dining room MK stood up quickly coming over to me and squatted down to my level.

"Y/n what's going on." She must have noticed the look on my face.

"Doorbell!"

"What about the doorbell?"

"Scared me."

"Ok come on Kiddo let's go sit at the table."

Nodding I followed behind her and sat next to her at the table. Reaching my hand over I tapped her arm lightly. She looked at me confused. I reached up with both of my arms to her.

"Ok, come here." She pushed her chair back from the table enough for me to be able to fit on her lap. "What's going on through that head of yours?"

"Lizzie."

"What about her?"

"She could have told me that Scarlett was coming, and I wouldn't have..."

"Wouldn't have what?"

"Wouldn't have felt that I needed to hide."

"Why would you need to hide little one?"

"Because of the bad people," I spoke softly hiding my face in MK's neck. MK turned to the side facing me placing a kiss on the crown of my head, then turning away and holding me closer.

A different voice spoke from the other side of MK. "What bad people Y/n?"

"The Eliot's friends who would come over on party nights."

"What were party nights?"

"Nights they would..." I paused pulling away and looking up to MK, then over at Ash.

"OK, little one we don't need any more information if you don't want to explain. It's okay."

"I... Um..." Studdering my next words as the tears came out because I didn't know what to say next.

"Shh... Shh... We don't need to know little one okay? You are safe and we are going to get through this together. One step at a time."

I nodded my head and pulled her closer as the tears continued to flow. Some time passed and I wasn't ready to let go of MK. So she sat with me while Scarlett, Ash, and Lizzie were in the kitchen making some dinner.

I turned in MK's hold watching them work away in the kitchen. When Ash came into the dining room with plates and cups. Dinner must be coming out soon.

"MK can we go to the bathroom so I can wash my hands?"

"Of course. Let's go." MK stood up holding me and walked us both to the bathroom. We both washed our hands before returning to the dining room where Lizzie was placing the main course down, and Ash and Scarlett were bringing in sides.

MK whispered in my ear. "On my lap or in your chair?"

"Your lap please."

Nodding she sat down and pulled my plate over so I could reach it. She filled my plate with all different kinds of foods. Not knowing what most of them were, I just picked up my fork and started to eat a bite of everything.

Leaving some things untouched while others were gone I leaned back into MK. Not paying attention to the adults around me letting them do whatever they want not caring what they are doing. I closed my eyes and stay quiet listening to the ceiling fan wiz as it spun.

I'm not sure how much time had passed but when I opened my eyes, I was lying on the couch with a blanket on top of me, I must have fallen asleep. I kind of freaked out not knowing where everyone was. Quickly I removed the blanket and quietly moved around the first floor in hopes of finding someone.

When I didn't my breathing started to pick up, and everything came crashing down. Running around the second floor and the first floor again, my thoughts were spiraling quickly. They left and didn't even say goodbye, what's worse is they left me alone. I didn't know what to do. Curling back into the couch hoping it would provide comfort for this time.

"Scar and I need to leave in 10 I'm going to check on Y/n and see if she is awake yet," Lizzie spoke. The back door slid shut footsteps slowly approached, I slowly curled into a ball as my breathing started to get harsher and harsher. "Shit, MK get your ass in here." She screamed.

Approaching me cautiously she spoke, "Y/n can you hear me?" I couldn't move I felt stuck, I blinked my eyes repeatedly hoping she would catch it. "Y/n I'm going to pick you up and you're not going to like it." She placed her arms around me and pulled me into her, Taking my place on the couch, and holding me close.

"Liz what's going..." MK seemed to appear from nowhere. "I'll get water and a cloth, a bucket too."

Breathing slowly became harder and harder. "I know Y/n we just need to wait it out, try your best to take some deep breaths okay, nice and easy."

Trying my hardest to listen to what she asked, I stopped breathing as a whole. Sucking in nothing it felt as if I were choking on something but I wasn't. Suddenly water splashed on me and everything started to clear. I could see Lizzie and I wasn't choking on air I was taking in large breaths.

"There you are, I didn't want to go to those lengths, but you didn't give us a choice. Now you don't have to answer but is there a reason you were having a panic attack?"

"I thought you left."

"All of us were just outside catching up, we didn't want to wake you up." She answered.

Nodding I held onto her with everything I had. I didn't realize how much I have become accustomed to Lizzie being in my life.

"I don't want to ruin this moment but Liz it's time to go." the woman who I believe is Scarlett spoke.

"One minute get everything you need the keys are hanging by the door."

"Okay."

"Now little miss. I have to head to work for a couple of hours. I will be back when you wake up in the morning, the twins will be here with you for the night and if you need me I'm only a call away, you just need to ask the twins to call me."

Nodding I slipped off of her lap and moved over to see MK opening up her arms. Which led me to curl up on her lap. Hearing the front door open and shut, I realized Lizzie left for work. I know she just said she was going but I wasn't really paying attention.

"Lizzie Left?" it sounded more confused like a question. I must still be dazed by the panic attack.
