LEFT BEHIND | Scarlett Johansson x Daughter.

CHAPTER 26 - TOO MUCH.

Scarletts POV-

Y/n is passed out on the couch, her head on my lap and her knees pulled into her chest.

I've realised that's how she always sleeps.

It's so different from when she was younger, she used to sleep with her body all stretched out, you could never share a bed with her. You would have her feet kicking you no matter where you were on the bed.

Her face is facing my stomach and when I look down she does still look like a little girl. It feels like that's the only thing that hasn't changed.

But everything has changed.

Why wouldn't it have?

I told her about Liam. I told her everything and while it hurt so badly to see her reaction, I needed to.

Liam was one of the loveliest people I have ever known, even still through everything that happened between us. But hearing everything JJ said about the things he said and done to her?

It changes everything for me.

I remember the court date like it was yesterday, how he had his lawyer say so many awful things about me and how I was unfit to be a mother.

He broke my heart. But I still stayed good to him, I did what the judge said and what my lawyers said. I did my part in trying to be good, doing what he told me. Being controlled by him, paying for her school, sending her monthly allowances while paying him child support but I still wasn't allowed to see her.

Him making me hurt? I could forgive him, I could still be okay with him. I could still be his friend when he would call me crying over and over again about things in his life all the while I had another partner...

But seeing Y/n hurt because of him? That is something I can never forgive.

When everything happened I had to let it happen, I fought and yes I lost, yet I still didn't hold that against him. I always thought he was trying to do what was best for Y/n.

I was wrong.

I don't know what he was trying to do, making me out to be a bad person? definitely. But why? Because I left? Because I had to break our family apart even though he was the one that said divorce?

He has always had me wrapped around his finger and I've never realised until now?

I've been wrapped around his finger for 17 years.

But now that is going to change.

"Hi Sam, I need to reopen the Y/n case... yeah the one with Liam." 

--------

I wake up with someone softly shaking my shoulder. I look up and stare into Colins eyes as he leans down to kiss my forehead. 

Y/n moves and groans on my lap, my gaze falls instantly to her.

She shakes and groans in her sleep and she doesn't seem to be stopping, her eyes are tightly closed. She looks like she is in pain. 

Colin moves around to the front of the couch. He eyes me and Y/n as she continues to shake. 

I run my fingers through her hair in hopes of calming her but it only makes her sit straight up, breathing deeply as her eyes cast vastly around the room. 

"You're okay." Colin speaks to JJ who stares at him as tears fill her eyes. 

Her tears start to fall before I can move to comfort her. 

She stands up quickly as I place my hand on her knee. 

I stare at her confused as she backs her way into the wall. She puts her hand onto her mouth as she slowly slides down it.
