there is a big trigger warning in this chapter. it is said before it happens and you are okay to skip it. I will put a '*' where it starts and a '*' where It ends incase anyone doesn't want to read it. 


Scarletts POV

Well this was a disaster.

Actually that might be an understatement, tonight has been a major shit show.

I thought this would have been fun, I thought she would have enjoyed herself. But again I was wrong.

I can't seem to do anything right.

I found myself sitting at a table with my mom, brother and Liam. As I sat down, Hunter's eyes move to me and confusion fills his face. I have tears in my eyes just wanting to burst out of me. I shake my head as his eyebrows raise, him silently asking me what's wrong. I can't bring myself to have this conversation right now. Liam excuses himself from the table to go to the bathroom.

I sit in silence for a second trying to bring myself together. I feel Hunter sit next to me as he puts his arm around my shoulder and pulls me into a hug, but before I can even say anything JJ's voice fills the whole room. "Why am I always the bad person? Why am I the one who has to be nice to everyone when I was the one who was hurt! I was the one who spent years wondering why I wasn't enough for her mom and constantly hurting myself in the process! I'm done with this, I'm done with all of it!" I feel Rose's body launch into my own from her shouting, Rose instantly starts to cry, I watch as JJ walks out of the restaurant.

I need to go after her, but Rose is crying and wants my comfort.

Either decision I make I will be a bad mom to one of them.

I go to stand with Rose in my arms but Hunter stands up and places his hand on my arm, "Hey, I've got it. Just get Rose to calm down and then come find me." I nod to his words as I try to soothe Rose.

Her crying turns into sniffles as Liam comes back into view.

"Scar, where's JJ?" My mind goes blank as Liam asks me that question.

"She screamed and walked out, I was going to go but..."

"Jesus Scarlett! Can you not put her first for ONCE!" His anger confuses me, her and Rose are first, they're meant to be.

"Liam, I am not arguing with you right now, not in front of family, or Rose and my friends." I reply back, turning to look him in the eye as his body deflates and he walks out himself.

Colin moves towards me and takes Rose from my arms, he leaves a kiss on my lips and then nods towards the door.

I know I have to go and talk to her, but I just know I'm not the person she wants to talk to.

As I finally get to the door I'm met with Lizzie, Rob and Chris Evans who all raise their eyebrows at me. I chose to ignore their faces and make my way outside as they follow.

Only I'm not expecting Liam and Hunter to be shouting JJ and Y/N at the top of their lungs once I get outside.

-------

"It's past 1am and she still isn't answering any calls, mom said she hasn't gone back to the restaurant. Liam, we need to call the police!" I shout at Liam as we both stand opposite one another in my living room.

As soon as we couldn't find JJ anywhere near the restaurant we left to my house, apologising to everyone and thanking them for coming to the party.

JJ left at around 10:30, we didn't leave the restaurant until 11:30 in hopes of her having come back. She hadn't. My next thought was maybe she came home but turns out we were wrong as she was nowhere to be seen at home too.
