REDEMPTION // ADOPTED BY SCARLETT JOHANSSON

Chapter 42.

・⎯⎯ ⭔ HANNAH'S POV:

I woke the next morning at ten-ish. A slight headache, but nothing i can't handle.

I force myself to sit up, i look to my nightstand where my phone is, a little plate with a cup of water and two pain killers, a little note.

'hope you're feeling okay.'
'we love you'
'- mama.'

I think back to last night and i remember everything. Especially the whore comment.

I just throw the note in the trash. Getting up and changing, brushing my teeth, washing my face and packing a bag.

Underwear, spare clothes, pyjamas, skin care, toothbrush and tooth paste, phone charger, laptop and laptop charger, headphones. All in a pink duffel bag.

I put my hair up in a messy bun, the eye bags under my eye prominent, the adrenaline from my anger still running through me.

I make my bed, tidy my room and open the window a little before I put on my shoes, plug my earphones into my phone.

I head downstairs, planning on just leaving straight away.

I turn the corner to go to the door and the twins are here, all four of them sat downstairs.

'Where are you going?' Lizzie asks. 'My dads. Like i told you i was.' I shrug and go to open the door. 'You're not going, i told you that you weren't going.' Scarlett says. 'Tough shit. I'm going whether you want me to or not.' I spit back.

'Language.' Lizzie says sternly. 'Oh as if you weren't saying worse to me yesterday.' I roll my eyes. 'Let me go.' I say to scarlett.

'When will you come home?' Scarlett asks, a little hurt. 'I don't know, when i feel like it.' I shrug. 'I don't want you to move in with your dad.' Scarlett pleads.

'Oh i'm sorry, i thought you wanted your bright and shiny career, you made it very clear you couldn't have that if i was here.' I tilt my head and furrow my eyebrows, quoting her from yesterday.

'Oh hannah don't be like that.' Lizzie says. 'She said it not me.' I shrug. 'We didn't mean it.' Scarlett huffs out.

'You say this every fucking time, apology after apology, you promise me shit and then never end up doing any of it. You know whose never had to apologise to me? Colin!' I raise my voice.

'He doesn't need to apologise to you he needs to apologise to me!' Scarlett yells. 'What so you don't want me to go with him to spare your feelings?' I scoff. 'What about me, what about my feelings? You all never hesitate to go straight to insulting me and then you apologise and tell me you love me as if that makes it okay!' I shout as my eyes well with tears. 'Yeah i know i screwed up. But i did not deserve the insults you both threw at me last night. I did not deserve that.' I strain out through tears.

'Honey...' Scarlett starts. 'Oh stop with the pet names! Just shut up!' I yell out as i snap.

'Hannah just stay, we can talk about it.' Scarlett says softly. 'When are you going to get it through your head that i do not want to see you. I want Collin and Phoebe. I don't want to see you, or Elizabeth.' I seethe.

That hurts her, and Elizabeth, you can see it in their faces.

'Okay.' Scarlett's voice breaks and she releases a shaky breath. 'Have fun. I love you.' She whispers out and i scoff, opening the door and leaving.

・⎯⎯ ⭔ SCARLETT'S POV:

I watch as she leaves. I'm terrified she'll leave me and ask to live with Colin instead. I don't want her to leave, i wasn't thinking before i spoke. I just wanted to say something that would bring her back to reality. I didn't mean for this to happen.
