Maddie's POV:
I was woken up by an eight year old shaking me.
"Rose what do you want?" I say glaring at her.
"Food" she says climbing onto my bed.
"You know where the kitchen is" I say.
"No I can't reach and Colin's at work" she says.
"And your mum?" I say.
" OUR mom is in bed and won't get up" she says pulling my arm. Ugh I want to sleep. Today is Monday and we're not in school because it's some sort of teachers day off or something so I was going to have a lovely long sleep.
I go downstairs with rose and make her some cereal. Where's Scarlett? It's 9 am she usually up at 6. What's wrong with her?
"Rose what did Scarlett tell you when you went to see her?" I asked her.
" She told me to let her sleep and to ask you" she says.
I nod and smile at her. I don't want to worry the kid. I don't know Scarlett that well but from what I've learnt and been told she basically never sleeps in. Shit! what if she's sick? She shouldn't be alone if she's sick? 'WAIT MADDIE WHY DO YOU CARE, SHE WASN'T THERE WHEN YOU WERE SICK' a voice in my head says. I ignore it and tell rose that I'll be back in a minute.
I knock on Scarlett's door. I get no answer, I open the door a bit and see her in bed. I walk over to the bed.
"Scarlett" I whisper. "Are you okay?" I ask. I don't get an answer. I don't think she's asleep because normally you would hear some sort heavy breathing or some thing
Scarlett" I whisper a bit louder. Again I get no answer. I sign and quietly walk out of the room, closing the door behind me.
"Hello?" I ask into the phone.
" hey Maddie what's up? " Colin replies with.
"Um.. I don't think Scarlett's okay" I say.
"What do you mean?" He asks worryingly .
"She's not got out of bed and told rose to let her sleep and to ask me to sort her some breakfast and when I went to go and check on her I got no answer but I know she's not asleep." I answer.
"Okay. Well Maddie I'll be finished work in an hour or so until then can you keep on trying to talk to her" he says.
"Okay" I say ending the call. He said that he will text me when he's on his way back.
I go back downstairs and check on rose. She's sat in the living room watching sponge bob. She looks so adorable.
"Scarlett" I say entering her room again and sitting on the bed next to her feet.
"Scarlett there's a fire" I say trying to get her to answer. Still nothing.
"Scarlett I'm gonna go out and get really drunk" I say trying again. Nothing.
"And get really high" nothing.
"OW! Shit! That hurt!" I lie. Scarlett moves a bit.
" Scarlett I know your awake" I say. Nothing.
"Scarlett I'll call your mum" she sits up at that and rubs her eyes. I smile. That worked!
She looks like she'd been crying. Her eyes were all red and I could see the tear stains on her cheeks.
"What's wrong?" I ask in a whisper. she wipes her face with her hand and gives me a fake smile.
"Nothing I'm fine. Are you alright?" Shes lying. I can tell.
" I'm okay. But your not. What's wrong? You can tell me. I don't bite" I say copying what she told me yesterday. She smiled at that.
"It's nothing baby, I'm okay"
"Johannson even though you are an actor, you are a terrible liar"I joke.
"I'll have you know child I can lie." She say laughing . "I'm okay baby. I'm just a bit tired" she continues. I nod and move to sit next to her, it wasn't comfy on the edge of the bed.
"Your beds massive" I say stretching my arms out. She laughs at that.
"Yeah well it needs to fit two people on" she says smirking.
"Ew" I say disgusted.
"What? It's normal" she says defensively.
I roll my eyes, smiling. This is nice. I know it won't last but it's nice.
"Why were you crying?" I ask suddenly remembering her tear stained face.
" I watched a sad tiktok" she lies.
"Do you even have tiktok?"
"No" she mumbles.
"I just realised how much I had missed you. Missed this." She said.
" what do you mean? " I ask confused.
"I've missed so much of your life and I know that, that's my fault but I just really missed this. Missed you. I just feel guilty" she tells me. I try to see if she's lying. But she's not all I can see is honest in her eyes and fear. I look down at my hands. I don't know what to say to that. I missed her so much but I got by without her. I tried to forget about her and that she left me and now I'm living here with her.
I look I at her and smile.
"I should probably go and check on rose" I say leaving. I can't deal with that. With her. It's too much and I just want to forget about it all.
