Finding y/n

chapter 8

Y/ns pov
Today scarletts going back to LA to get the house ready and tell her friends and family that she found me. I hug her tightly "I love you" I whisper trying not to cry "I love you more" she kisses my head "I'll be back in a week, I promise" scarlett continues. I look up at her "promise?" She nods "im never leaving you again" she says trying not to cry. I hug Scarlett tightly and take in her scent "sweetie I have to go but I'll phone you everyday" she pulls me away from her and kisses forehead. "Bye" she starts walking down the drive and she looks around every so often so I wave. Scarlett gets in the rangerover and we both wave at eachother as she drives down the road.
"Come on" Sarah says putting her hand on my shoulder "do you want an icecream?" I shake my head and walk slowly up the stairs dragging my feet behind me. "Told you" J says and I walk into my room "she's coming back" I tell him and close my door. I jump onto the bed and curl up in a ball, all I want is Scarlett. Is that too much to ask?

I arrive home and I quickly wipe my eyes before opening the door. "Mommy! mommy!" Rose shouts making me cheer up a little. I bend down and hug her tightly "baby I missed you so so much" I say and kiss her forehead "mommy is y/n here?" I shake my head with a sad smile making Rose do the same "no honey but she will be in a week. Do you want to help me and daddy decorate her room?" I ask and she nods "yeah!" I pick her up and kick off my shoes. "Rosie I missed you so so much" I smile into her eyes "I missed you too mama". Colin comes out of the kitchen with a smile and walks over to me giving me a kiss "how is she?" He asks "everything I could ever want her to be" I croak as my throat becomes dry because I left y/n. I put Rose down and Colin hugs me tightly "she's alright. We'll get everything ready so she can come sooner" he kisses my lips again "Rose do you want to get mommy her surprise?" She nods and runs off. "What is it?" I mouth and she smiles "mommy" Rose holds up a cookie so I take it "did you make is?" I ask and she nods "yeah! Daddy helped me" she smiles widely. I take a bite and smile at her "you clever girl" she smirks up at me and goes upstairs to her room. Colin and I sit on the Sophie and I snuggle into his side "tell me about her, I want to know" I chuckle and patt his chest "you'll know about her when she comes next week. I've sorted it all out with her social worker and Sarah and Dave" I share making him sigh "fine. Her hair is so soft, it's softer than Roses and mine. She loves elephants and African animals- oh my god" I get up quickly "babe where are you going?" Colin asks as I get the photo album out of my bag. I sit next to him "she gave me this. I haven't looked at it yet" I tell him "is it a photo album?" I nod and turn over the front page.

To Scarlett, you didnt get to see me grow up so Sarah helped me find photos and I put them in here for you. They are all in order so don't worry about flicking back and forth to find the age you want. From Y/n ♡♡♡

It says on the front cover, my heart swells but my eyes also fill with tears. My baby's back in Colorado and I'm in Los Angeles, I should have brought her with me. Colin wipes my eyes "it's okay. Let me help" he says softly and turns over the first page. The first couple of photos of her as a newborn and it says two weeks after fostercare. Tears fill my eyes and I lean into Colins side "this s-shouldnt of happened. She deserved to stay with m-me" I croak "I know" she whispers and rubs my arm "you have her now and noones going to take her away ever again" he promises. I hold onto his arm tightly "she looked like you" Colin says softly making me smile "shes so cute" I baby as Rose comes back. "Rosie do you want to see some photos of y/n?" I ask and she nods. I sit her on my lap and the three of us go through the photos "mommy I look like her!" She giggles "you do. Both of you are georgous".

Next day

Scarletts pov
Whilst Rose is at my mums house for babysitting, Colin and I are going shopping to find some things to decorate y/ns room with. I talked to her social worker and she is able to come and live with us next week which I'm really excited about. We first go to the garden centre to get some house plants to decorate it with and then to a shop to buy her bed and things. "Scar is this one okay?" Colin asks gesturing to a wooden framed double bed "it's perfect. Let's get that and then we need duvet covers and duvers and blankets and wall art and light shade". We pay and go home and start to decorate y/n room, hopefully she likes it I'm sure she will. Colin helps me to paint and decorate her room, we are keepinga white theme because it looks cleaner but if she doesn't like it we can redecorate for her.
Colin and I stand back and admire the work we've done. He puts his arm around my waist and pulls me into him "do you think she'll like it?" I ask and he kisses my cheek "of course she will".

I'm sitting in my room thinking about this new life I'm going to have with Scarlett and her family. I don't want to leave here, we'll I do but I'm not sure I want to live with Scarlett. She's nice and she's my real mom and all but I'm scared.

I pull out my phone and ring her number, it rings a couple of time but finally her raspy voice answers. "Hey baby, are you okay?" She asks softly, I sit up against the back of my bed and don't say anything "y/n. Y/n are you there?" She asks and tears fall from my eyes "has something happened? Baby talk to me" scarlett says through the phone. I pull my legs up under my chin  and start crying "y/n! Baby please, what's wrong? Your scaring me" I cut scarlett off by ending the call. How can I tell her I don't want to live with her? I don't want to because im scared. My phone rings and scarletts name pops up, I let it ring out until it finally stops. I'm going to be in so much trouble. I lay in bed in a ball and cry to myself. Scarletts tried calling me more than a dozen times but I don't answer, I can't. I hear the voicemail sounds making me sit up "y/n it's scarlett, are you okay? What's wrong? I haven't been there for more than a month in your life and I want to. Your my baby and I'll do whatever you want to make you feel happy and safe. I love you so so much so please call me back, your making me beyond worried. Please just phone me, I love you" it ends making me cry harder.
I reach over and grab my phone, I call scarlett and she instantly picks up.

My phone rings beside me, I sit up off Colin and answer it quickly. "Y/n" I whisper hearing her cry hysterically "s-scarlett" she sobs making me sit up. Colin puts his hand on my back as I turn around to face him "baby talk to me" "i-i cant" "im listening, whenever your ready" I tell her. Tears fill my eyes as all I hear is my baby girl crying "I d-dont want to come and l-live with y-you" "why?" I ask tears falling from my eyes "b-because I'm s-s-scared". I lean into Colin and rub my face "I know you are, I am too. I've never looked after a teenager before and all I want to do is make you safe. I promise you'll love it here but if you dont that's okay aswell, you can stay wherever you like just try living in LA for me" "I'll try, I promise". Y/n sounds alot more calm so a little smile appears on my lips. "Are you home?" I ask "yeah. Im in my room" "just checking your safe. I'll see you in five days baby, I love you" "I love you too Scarlett" she copies and ends the call.
I sigh in relief and cuddle into Colins arm "what's happened?" "Nothing, she's just scared to come and live here which I get. Maybe we should both go to Colorado and get her, just so she isn't as scared when she arrives" I tell Colin.
