Maddie's POV:

Yesterday was a good day. I actually enjoyed spending time with Scarlett. Today she's taking me to set with her because I'm off school again, which is amazing.

 "Is Lizzie going to be there?" I ask her once we're in the car. She nods her head keeping her eyes on the road. We spend the rest of the car ride in silence with Taylor swift playing in the background. I haven't seen Lizzie for a few days and I've missed her.

Last night i couldn't sleep. I haven't been sleeping well recently. My sleeping pills don't really work and to be honest they just make me worse, I always feel sick and ill whenever I take them. So I'm hoping that I can just sleep in Scarlett's trailer again.

We got to set and Scarlett gave me the option to come with her or stay in her trailer. I'm now in her trailer and I can't fucking sleep even though I can feel the tiredness in my body. I can't even text James because he's at a family dinner.

Me and James have decided not to tell our family about us being together. Mainly because I don't think that they need to know. Leo and Lily know but no one else. We've been texting everyday and been going on a few more dates. I trust this guy a lot even though I haven't known him for that long. He's the most genuine boy I've met.

I've been listening to music for the past hour and just staring at the wall. It's funny how so much has happened in the space of a few months, I mean soon it will be Christmas. Speaking of christmas I don't even know what I'm doing for that, whether I'm staying at Scarlett's or with my dad. I don't want to stay at Scarlett's, I haven't spent Christmas with her for 9 years and I don't want to change that now. Even though I am spending a bit more time with her it doesn't change the fact that she left me. I still don't know the reason why. I needed her and she wasn't there and I know that everyone is telling me to give her a chance but I'm just scared. I don't want her to leave me again.

When I was 13, I was asked if I wanted to see her again and I said no. It has took me a while to realise that she wasn't coming back, and I had finally realised that when I turned 12. I stopped seeing her as my mum. It made it even harder to try and forget about her because of her career. The world knew about me due to both of my parents being famous so it was hard to get over her when all I could see was articles and gossip spreads talking about how " Why Scarlett Johansson isn't seen in public with her eldest daughter".

My thoughts were interrupted by the trailer door opening and my godmother walking towards me. I ran up to her and just hugged her. I need this. I need her.

 "Oh hello Maddie. What's this for? Not that I'm complaining" she said sitting us down on the bed.

 "Nothing I just missed you" I mumbled into her neck. She kissed my head and pulled my head up so I was facing her.

 "What's wrong honey?" I can't help but cry. She pulls me to her chest and I just cry. I don't even now why I'm crying I had a good day yesterday.

 "Shhh. Honey your alright. I know.. I know" she tells me stroking my hair. I just lay on her chest. I've stopped crying and I'm now just listening to her breathing, it's actually strangely calming me down.

 "Do you wanna tell me what happened honey?" She asks me. I shrug. I'm too tired to talk.

Lizzie's POV:

I could feel her breathing even out which indicated that she was now fast asleep. I don't know what made her start breaking down but all I know is that she's not okay and I need to help her.

Everyone aren't realising that this whole move has been a lot on Maddie and to be honest I expected her to break earlier on. She may put on this act of how she doesn't need anyone and how it's not affecting her but she's still a kid and I know that all of this is catching up on her.

I love this kid with all my heart and I can tell how much pain she is in. I know that she isn't the most open person but I'm going to try and get her to talk to me. Her aunts are going back to England next week and I know that once they've gone, Maddie isn't going to be as happy as she's been.

I also need to talk to Scarlett because I know that she thinks she's doing the right thing in not telling Maddie the reason as to why she left but I can see how much it's affecting not just Maddie but her. Maddie wants her mom and Scarlett wants her baby but there both idiots and won't talk to each other about it.
