Disney was great, Lizzie loved it but the scariest ride she would go on was the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' which is pathetic in my opinion. Although I went on all the rollercoasters and Lizzie just watched, next time we go I'm definitely taking Lizzies sisters so I'm not on my own.

"Lizzie are you ready to go?" I ask my girlfriend who's taking hours to get ready "nearly!" She shouts. I take off my shoes and run up the stairs "hurry u-oh Lizzie, you look fine" I tell her "I haven't done my hair" "scarlett isn't going to care if it's straight or curly. Let's just go" I grab her hand. She grabs her necklace and we head to the car "baby can you put this on me?" "sure" she turns around and moves her hair so I clip it around her neck. I press a soft kiss on the back of her neck "there you go" we get in and I start driving us to Scarletts house.

We finally arrive and Lizzie takes ages to get out the car "hurry u-" the front door opens so I turn around quickly "y/n!" Scarlett squeals and hugs me tightly "I missed you so much" she whispers squeezing me tightly "I missed you too. How are you?" I ask "good. Romains at work so it's just me and pancake. Where's elizabeth?" I look back at the car to see Lizzie doing her hair. I sigh heavily and look back at her "I did tell her not to bother" just then the car door closes and scarlett unhugs me. "I'm Scarlett, we've met before but not on very good terms" I glare at her "it's nice to see you again. I'm Elizabeth but everyone calls me Lizzie" my girlfriend smiles. I swear my whole face lights up when I see that smile, she's perfect-its perfect. Scarlett smiles and opens her door wide "please come in" lizzie follows me in and we both take off our shoes "where's pancake? I want my cuddles" I huff "sleeping under the stai-" "pancake!" I squeal seeing the chihuahua scuttle towards me. Her feet always make a weird noise on scarletts wooden floor and that's when you know she's coming. I bend down and she jumps allover me excited to see me.

"Are you going to tell me why you both came?" Scarlett asks petting pancake on her lap, I look at lizzie "yes" I answer and look at lizzie "I got a role for Marvel in 2015 and y/n said you had one for next year" a smile forms on scarletts face "we are going to be working with eachother! I've got one next year and then the year after so we can get to know eachother" I frown and fold my arms "so unfair. I'm going to be left on my own" I huff making them both laugh. Lizzie smiles softly and rubs my knuckles with the ends of her fingers "your just going to have to cope with it" I frown and moves away so she can't touch me. "You won't be lonely, you will have pancake to look after" scarlett tells me "I live in an apartment and it's tiny. It's too small to look after a dog" "Well who says next year you'll be in that apartment" I look at lizzie confused but then realise.

"Okay earthworms, are you dating yet? Because I saw you making out so you better be dating or I'll personally kill you" Scarlett says grabbing her coffee from the table. I look over at lizzie and a smile creaps onto her lips "okay. Lizzie asked me to be her girlfriend and I sit yes" scarlett puts her mug down and stares at me. "You better not be pulling me threads. Seriously?" We both nod "awww!! Yay!" She gets up and hugs us both together "im so happy for you both. Lizzie and I are going to spend alot of time together next year so I can tell her all about your red flags and what stupid things you've done" "um no thank you" I laugh nervously. Lizzie frowns looking at me "you haven't told me any of those. Maybe scarlett and I will go out for lunch one day" I pout "nooo". I lay my head on Lizzies lap and pancake jumps up onto me and makes a ball on my stomach. Lizzies hands run through my hair just like mine on pancake "so whens the wedding?" I look up at lizzie who smiles "not for a while. We haven't been dating that long, when are you and Romain getting marrie-" scarlett holds up her finger "no fucking way. Your engaged?!" She nods "come come come" she gets up and I grab her hand and pull it down so I can see it clearly "it's beautiful. Why didn't you tell me? I bet you told Melanie first before me didn't you" scarlett laughs "of course I did, she's my mom" "and I'm your sister from another mister" I smile. Scarlett laughs again "well obviously you are. My mom should adopt you" "im twenty three, I'm pretty sure she doesn't want me".

After lunch, Lizzie goes outside to see scarletts garden whilst we stand in the kitchen. "She loves flowers" scarlett smiles as we watch lizzie touching all of them delicately "her gardens full of them" I reply. I feel scarlett looking at me "have you um told her about high school?" Bile fills my mouth remembering what happened "n-no. I'm not ready" I look at her uneasily. She places her hand on my shoulder making me jump "it's okay, she'll understand what happened" I scratch my eyebrow "can we not talk about it?" Scarlett nods and rests her head on my shoulder "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have bought it up-" "don't worry about it" I say with no emotion. I hold onto scarletts hand tightly remembering that day, knowing I needed her so much and I didn't even know her. "I-i needed you" I stutter making scarlett stand up "I know and I wish I was there with you" I hug her tightly whilst she sooths me "i-it was so s-scary" I whimper. She rubs circles on my back whilst I cry into her shoulder "ssshh it's okay. Its okay, I got you" she pushes me away from her and wipes my eyes "lizzies coming. Wipe your eyes, blow your nose and smile" she passes me a tissue so I blow my nose.

"Your gardens really nice scarlett, are those magnolias?" "Yeah, white and red" I turn around as I feel lizzies presence get closer to me. It keeps replaying in head, what happened to me. A single tears rolls down my cheek, I wipe it away quickly but lizzie still notices. "Hey, what's wrong?" She asks softly and touches my arm "nothing I'm fine" I lie. "No your not. You've been crying and I saw that tear" lizzie says and hugs me tightly, I berry my face in the crook of her neck and start crying. "Aww baby, what's wrong?" She whispers softly and rubs the top of my back "i-i don't want to t-talk" "you don't have to" I hug her tighter and feel another hand on my back. "Sit down, ill make you a drink. What do you want? Alcohol?" I shake my head "smoothie?" I nod and feel lizzie kiss my head. "What flavour? Ginger and spinach?" I shake my head "Berry?" I nod. I pull away from lizzie and wipe my eyes "go and sit down, ill make you a drink".

Lizzie walks me into the lounge and sits me on the sofa "here" she puts her jumper around me and kisses the top of my head "I'll go and see how scarletts getting on. Call me if you need anything" she smiles softly. I grab her wrist "stay" I whisper so she does. I lean on her shoulder and hug her tightly "its okay baby just rest"she whispers and runs her fingers through my hair. Scarlett comes in with my smoothie and holds it out for me "just the way you like it" she smiles and I take it "thank you". I take a couple of sips and put it on the counter, scarlett sits next to me and pulls my legs onto her lap "ugh your so heavy" "she's only 5'6" lizzie laughs.

I pretend to be asleep just because when I 'was' awake lizzie and scarlett kept talking to me which was annoying. I'm just resting my eyes whilst the rub me and lizzie runs her fingers through my hair still "what happened in there? I've never seen her get like that before" she whispers so she doesn't wake me "sometimes it happens. Sometimes it's out of no where or things trigger it" scarlett replies "is it like a panick attack? I have a really good therapist if you think y/n would be okay with it" "she's already had one. Its not a panick attack, something happened to her at high school which led to alot of other things. I'm sure she'll tell you when she's ready". I begin to stress making them stop "babe, you awake?" I open my eyes 'tiredly' and look up at lizzie "there you are. Did you have a nice sleep?" I nod and hug her jumper "your smoothie isn't cold anymore but here" she puts it in my hands and I drink it slowly. "Can I have a hot water bottle?" I croak and scarlett nods "yeah, of course" I puts my legs on the sofa and goes.

I look up at Lizzie and run my fingers over her lips making her smile softly "you scared me in there. I've never seen you get like that" I wrap her arm around my waist and pout so she gives me a kiss. I lay in silence until scarlett comes back and put the hot water bottle on my abdomen. She smiles softly and sits down next to me "where's pancake? Pancake" she jumps up on scarletts lap and she puts her on the sofa infront of me "there you go" I stroke her back whilst she licks my face.
