LEFT BEHIND | Scarlett Johansson x Daughter.

CHAPTER 29 - I WANT TO TRUST YOU.*

Scarletts POV

JJ pushes between me and Colin and hurries herself down the hall and up the stairs. 

I can't bring myself to move as I try and figure out what the hell has just happened. 

We were all laughing downstairs. She seemed fine, happy. I don't understand what has happened. 

Doubt fills my mind as I stare at my feet, has she hurt herself? No, she wouldn't. She promised and she has nothing to even use to hurt herself. 

But the doubt is still there. She was using hair ties. If it was that bad surely she would use anything.

I move into the bathroom and look around thoroughly. I check in the shower and bath to see if there is anything there. There isn't. 

I finally make my way to the sink and look through the cupboard above it. 

Nothing is there. 

I come up empty handed. But not until I see a glint of something on the floor. 

I bend down and my heart feels like it is breaking. 

She can talk to me. 

She knows she can talk to me. 

She promised me this wouldn't happen. She promised. 

I feel my tears slip down my face as I pick up the blade into my hand. 

I don't know what to do. 

Maybe she didn't hurt herself. Maybe she wanted to but stopped. 

That could be the case. 

I just, I don't know. 

I feel arms wrapping around me as Colin brings me into his chest and runs his fingers through my hair. 

Comfort. That's what he brings me. 

He doesn't say a word, he stays quiet as he holds me in his embrace. He doesn't need to say anything, he can see the blade clearly in my hands. 

I turn in his embrace as I put my back to his chest. I drop the blade into the sink and pull my phone from my pocket. 

I dial Louise's number as I lean in Colins arms. I need him right now. He is the only thing keeping me sane. 

"Hi Louise." I say into my phone as she picks up. Louise greets me back and asks what's up. 

"Y/n, I...I think she hurt herself. She locked herself in the bathroom for 30 minutes, and she wouldn't answer me. When she finally did she barged past me and Colin and I just thought the worse so I looked in the bathroom and I found a blade on the floor." I shakily speak into my phone as Louise lets out a breath. 

"Regardless if she has hurt herself or hasn't, she might have wanted to. Best case scenario it was already there but you know what I said this morning. She needs to be honest and open with you. You need to sit down and talk to her and if she won't, my office is free right now and we can have a discussion about sectioning her if we both see that, that isn't going to change." Louise breathes out herself. I nod along even though she cannot see me and take in her words, if she isn't honest with me then I don't know what more I can do in this situation. 

If she has hurt herself it's no longer a discussion of why it's whether she is going to do it again. If we trust her to not do it again. 

I don't want to have to section her. 

Yes it might help her but it could make her worse. She can lose all her trust with me and I can't do that. 

It sounds selfish. To not get your daughter proper help because you don't want her to hate you again.
