Scarlett's POV:

After arriving at my Airbnb, I just had this gut feeling that something was off. While I collect our dinner, Y/N gets my things and helps me with them. We start walking to the main entrance when I hear laughter, girly laughter. I immediately know what's happening, this isn't the first time or the second time. I'm tired and just tried to go home to sleep not to fight. I guess Y/N didn't hear what I heard because they continued to knock. The yelling caused me to get goosebumps all over my body. I couldn't listen to Colin, my ears were ringing. The only reason I returned to reality is Y/N's voice. "Scarlett, go wait in the car. You're not safe here." this is what I hear clearly and so gently too. I just nodded without making eye contact. I couldn't see Y/N in the eyes right now. I left Colin's dinner and grabbed the keys plus my things that Y/N moved aside. As I walked back to the car, I can still hear the situation behind me. "Listen, Go..." His voice getting louder and more hateful. I get to the car and put my things in the back trying my hardest not to collapse. Then I slowly made my way to my seat. Tears started to drop. I can't take it anymore. I feel a vibration from my phone and saw that I received a text from Lizzie when my phone starts ringing.

Normal POV:

As I made my way back to Scarlett, I texted Lizzie and informed her about the situation. Lizzie is one of the calmest and most loving humans I have ever met, she's also one of my besties. Don't tell Nicole though. HEHE. She called me immediately.

"What the fuck? Really?" she yells through the phone. "Liz, you're yelled in my EAR. I'm already half deaf." I told her. "Shit, sorry. So what are you going to do? Do you want me to go to you? I can tell Alfred." She's panicking. " No, please don't, I got it. Just text her or something. Please. I just met her today and this shit happens. That's shitty." I tell her. "Ok....umm. Ok, I'll text you after and call you tomorrow for an update. Please be gentle with her. She deserves better than that rotten piece of shit." She explains. "Bye Liz, text me when she's calm enough. Ima go make a quick call" I tell her. "Don't do something you'll regret, Y/N/N" she warns me. "Lizzie, I have a kid now, we're not 17 anymore" I argue. All I get is a hum. A fucking hum.

Scarlett's POV:

After Lizzie's call, I got a text from Y/N.

Reply from Mx. Rodríguez: Mrs.Johannson, do you need space or do you need me? -R.

Me: Drop the formality. Call me by my name.

Reply from Mx. Rodríguez: Sorry, but are you sure? -R.

Me: Yes.

Reply from Mx. Rodríguez: Do you need space or do you need me, Scarlett?

Me: Thank you Y/N and Yes, I need your company. But please get me out of this lot.

Normal POV:

I open the driver's doors and got inside.  As I began talking, Scarlett says "Y/N, why? Why do all men treat me like this?" I was taken back by the raw emotion. " Ma'am" I caught myself while I mentally slam myself.  "Sorry... Scarlett... I can't say much since I don't personally know you. But I can say that you deserve better and that man isn't a husband. That man is stuck in his teenage years with a huge ego. I'm soo sorry for that man. Because he lost a wife, who's too kind to be treated like this" I tell her while making subtle eye contact. "Thank you for what you did, Lizzie told me. I immediately revoke my Airbnb and I'll need that video for my lawyers." I just smiled and nodded. "So where to?" I asked. "Ummm, a hotel please?" She weakly replied. "Yeah no, that's not happening. Not in this city or in your condition" I argued. "What? Then where am I going to stay?" she said while being confused. "At my place. I have a guest room you can stay in. Then tomorrow we can head to San Francisco." I tell her my plan, praying she'll agree. All I get is an OK. I start the engine "Scarlett?" "Mhmm," she replies. "You can sleep on the way, don't worry. I got you." I gently tell her and start heading to my place. Thankfully, Elena is at Nicole's place, she would freak out if she saw her favorite avenger out of the blue.

A/N:

Who did Y/N call? Poor Scar.
