Maddie's POV:

I was in that room again, same thing happening. Blood everywhere, screams and shouting ringing in my ears. His face staring at mine. A face I can't seem to get out of my head no matter how hard I try. 

 "Maddie" I hear a voice say bringing me out of my head. "Madeline" the voice says again.

I open my eyes slowly to see Scarlett sat next to me stroking my hair.

 "Hey baby, you okay?" I nod my head. 

 "What happened?" Scarlett asked. I don't say anything. I can't tell her.

 "I just had a nightmare. That's all" I say, my voice all raspy.

 "Yeah. You seem pretty shaken up. Do you want some water?" I shake my head.

 "You want me to stay here with you?" She asks . I nod. Even though I don't want to be close to Scarlett I need someone here with me now otherwise I'll do something stupid and my aunt's aren't here so Scarlett's the best bet I have.

Scarlett's POV:

My mom left an hour ago and I was finally going to bed. When I got upstairs, I went to check on rose who was fast asleep and then went to check on Maddie. She was moving a lot and I could see that she was crying.I moved to her and and tried to wake her up. 

When she said I could stay, I was so happy but I'm also worried because I've never seen someone wake up crying from a nightmare. She hid her head in my shoulder and I layed there playing with her hair. 

 "What time would it be in England?" Maddie asks.

 "Noon I think. Why?"

 "Just asking" she says moving more into my shoulder. I kiss her head and pull the blanket over her.

I wake up to Maddie still fast asleep and still snuggled into my shoulder. Colin knocks on the door and opens it smiling.

 "Hey honey, I've just dropped rose off at school and I'm going to work now. Oh and I already called Maddie's school saying that she's sick" I nod and smile at that. What a sweetheart. I don't know what I'd do without him.

I fall back asleep and was woken by talking. I open my eyes to Maddie and Lizzie. Maddie still cuddled up to me but lizzie sat at our feet.

 "She awakes" Lizzie jokes.

 "He ha. What are you doing here?" I ask confused .

 "Well today's Tuesday and it's my day to take Maddie to school but apparently not today" Lizzie says smirking at Maddie who laughs and tried to sit up. I pull her back down. I want my Maddie cuddles.

 "Scarlett I need to pee" she says smiling at me. I laugh and let go of her. Lizzie turns to me.

 "She okay?" She asks concerned . I nod.

 "Nightmare" I say. She nods and smiles at me.

Maddie walks back into the room and practically jumped on the bed, lying next to me.

 "Why are you so happy?" Lizzie asks laughing.

 "No school" Maddie says. Me and Liz laugh at that. This kid would do anything to get out of school.

 "Hmm that's only because we slept in" I say.

 "And it was a very nice sleep" she says smirking at me. I smile back.

 "Come on weirdo's, I want food" Lizzie says dragging me and Maddie out of bed, we both groan at her.

Lizzie takes us downstairs to McDonald's breakfast in the living room.

 "I got this a few minutes ago" she said when Maddie looked at her confused.

We all sat down and Lizzie gave us our food. Maddie didn't look like she wanted to eat any of her's. She took a bite of the hash brown and immediately put it back down on the coffee table. She looked like she was going to be sick. She got up and ran out of the room. I looked at Liz and then ran after her. She was throwing up in the toilet, I held her hair back until she stopped and wiped her mouth with a tissue and then turned to me and started sobbing into my chest. I try calming her down and after a few minutes her breathing is back to normal and her sobbing has stopped. I try to move and stand us up but she just grabs onto my shirt for dear life and won't let me go. I lift her into my arms and carry her to her bedroom.

She doesn't let go off me as I lay on the bed. I pull her head up and smile at her. Her eyes are all red and she looks exhausted.

 "What's wrong baby? Apart from being sick" I ask knowing that there's something else.

 "I don't know, I just want my dad" she says quietly.

 "I don't even know why I want my dad. I'm used to him not being here." She says moving closer into my shoulders . I kissed her head.

 "It's okay to miss your dad" I say.

 She nods and looks up at me. I smile at her. She lays back and falls asleep.

Even though I know that this isn't going to last, I'm going to make the most of it. I don't want to think about Maddie leaving nor do I want to think about her dad. Me and him had a Rocky relationship and still do, I left him when Maddie was 5 and it was the biggest thing I have ever regretted not because I missed him and still love him. No because after that things got worse and worse for me and in the end I stopped seeing Maddie. I only regretted that divorce because of Maddie, if it wasn't for that then I wouldn't have rose or Colin and I'd still be in that toxic environment that took me years to get out of. At first I didn't want to divorce Mathew but I knew staying in a relationship with someone who you don't have feelings for is wrong and affects both is and Maddie, But I can't hate her dad because he gave me Maddie and I don't know what I'd so without her.
