Mila's POV:

"Wake up sweety, we're here...", I felt somebody gently shaking my shoulder. "Come on Mila, let's get you inside...", Scarlet's calming voice spoke. I opened my eyes and sat up in my seat. "There we go.", the woman had opened the car door and unbuckled my seatbelt before I could do it. My mind still felt fuzzy, but I tried to pull myself together one last time. "Thanks, I could've done that myself you know?", I said to the woman which chuckled "Of course, I just thought I could help you before you fall asleep again... sorry, sweet." She replied, her voice making me sleepy again. I forced myself out of the car. "It's alright". She smiled at me and took my hand: "Let's go...". I followed Scarlett to a fancy looking hotel. As soon as we had entered, I got pulled to a lounge and told to sit down while she talked to somebody. I took a deep breath and settled down in the comfy pillows on the sofa.

Scarlett's POV:

I walked up to the reception: „Excuse me?", I tried to get the woman's attention. „Ah yes hello miss Johansson. What can I do for you? Is something wrong with your room?", the young receptionist asked. „No, the room is fine. I wanted to ask if it's possible to get another one?", the young woman looked at me confused. „Uh yeah sure. Wait a second, let me take a look in the system", she typed on her keyboard. „Yes, there are some free rooms" „Is there one on my floor?", I asked swiftly looking back at the girl on the sofa in the lounge. „Yes, there's still one free, would you like to book it?", the young lady at the counter asked. „Yes please. thank you" „alright, have a good night".

I walked over to Mila who was thankfully still awake. In the dim light of the hotel, I could see the girl more clearly. she had blue chin length hair, which was already a bit grown out, her eye colour matched the one of her hair and she had rather pale skin, which made me question if she was really from here. She hadn't talked much but I was pretty sure she wasn't native. I sat down next to her and dialled the number of the local hospital. "Do you want to call, or should I do it for you, sweet?", I noticed the girl's body tense. "Could you do it please? I can talk to my aunt myself but-", she started to ramble, and I quickly cut her off. "Of course, no problem...", I gave her an understanding smile and called the hospital. 

"What did they say?", Mila asked as I frowned on my phone. "They told me your aunt isn't available at the moment...", I saw how the girl's expression turned in one of hopelessness. "B-but what do I do now?" "You can stay here at the hotel, they still have free rooms", I felt bad for her, how could her aunt just leave her by herself. I got pulled out of my thoughts, when I heard a faint whisper. "I don't think I can afford one of the rooms here...", I turned around to face the girl, only to see her on the verge of tears again. "Hey sweetheart, listen, it's no problem, don't worry about it okay? We are going to discuss it tomorrow with your aunt...", of course I wouldn't let her pay, but I had a feeling that if I would've told her that she'd be one of those people who wouldn't accept the offer. Mila nodded. "Okay..." 

I smiled at her and offered her my hand, leading her upstairs to my floor. I walked towards her room, which was directly opposite of mine and opened it with the keycard. "Here we go... make yourself at home.", I watched how the girls jaw dropped in awe at the room. Of course, it was a high-class hotel, so the room was designed accordingly, but it was still cute to watch her eyes widen at the gigantic bed and fancy furniture. "I take that as a you like it?", I chuckle before seeing the girl smile disappear and get replaced by a look of concern and worry. "If you're thinking about the price don't worry, I get a discount for the rooms.", this seemed to calm the girl down a bit. She turned to me and looked up with those sky-blue eyes. "I don't know how to repay you, thank you so much!", before I could say another world the girl had already wrapped her arms around my waist hugging me tightly. My heart melted. "Aww sweetheart, its nothing, you're welcome", I returned the hug and rubbed her back comfortingly. 

After we pulled away, I asked her if she needed anything else which she declined. "Goodnight Mila, rest well...", I smiled and had to contain myself from hugging her or giving her a good night kiss, not wanting to make her uncomfortable. I closed the door and felt a tugging in my stomach, but I chose to ignore it and get some rest as well.

Mila's POV

I woke up the next morning in an almost too comfy bed. I was practically sinking into the mattress which confused me since the mattress at my aunts was well... a normal mattress. I sat up straight and looked around in the room. Where the fuck am I?! Slowly some blurry memories from yesterday were coming back: My aunt having no time to pick me up at the convention, my dead phone, The woman, which brought me to a hotel. Wait what? I started to panic. How could I just go with a stranger! this was the one thing every mother told her child. Don't go with a person you don't know. 

But then again, I was in a foreign country, my aunt has basically left me on the street, and I had nowhere to go. I got out of the bed and looked around in the room. I went to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. I looked horrible: I was still in the same clothes as yesterday which were now wrinkled because I slept in them, my mascara and eyeliner were all over my face, and my hair looked like a bird's nest. I quickly took some of the soap and a cloth, which was neatly placed next to the sink and washed my face. I still couldn't believe I was stupid enough to follow a stranger. Maybe it was just pure luck that the person wasn't a paedophile or kidnapper, or maybe my intuition and people skills were just great. I doubt the second option cause I couldn't remember one thing about the Person who took me in besides the fact that it was a woman. But I was really thankful the whole thing didn't turn out to be bad... for now. Apparently, the only thing I could remember was the person's voice. I left the bathroom and searched for my stuff, which was in the corner of the room. 

Once I got my phone I searched for a charger. I mean, this room looked high class so it might as well have a charger. After around ten minutes I gave up. I sat on my bed and pondered about what I should do next. I was alone, once again, in a hotel with people I don't know. I felt myself getting anxious. I knew I had to somehow get a charger so I could contact my aunt, logically I would have to ask a stranger. I got pulled out of my thoughts by a gentle knock on the door. Fuck, fuck, fuck! 

"Mila? are you awake? Can I come in?", I heard a voice from behind the door. It was the same voice as yesterday, soft and gentle. I took a deep breath to calm my nerves and called out: "Y-yeah I'm awake...y-you can come in", I cursed myself for shuttering before I heard a chuckle from behind the door. "The door is locked, sweetheart... the keycard should be on the dresser...", my cheeks heated up in embarrassment and I was thankful the woman couldn't see me. I walked to the dresser and took the keycard which was indeed placed on top of it and unlocked the door. I took another deep breath, only for it to get caught in my throat when I finally opened the door. 

"... S-Scarlett Johansson?!"
