Don't let them see.

Scarlets POV 2/2

"Scarlett, could you come with us if you want? I can see she is already starting to trust you, and that's big for her." He quietly said me.
"Yes, of course!" I relied, as I was already really quite worried about her.

We walked to the lounge. Anthony, Joe and Hadlee sat on the sofa and I sat one of the chairs.
"Hadlee, kiddo, do you know what triggered that? And was the memory from where I think it was from?"Anthony asked. What is going on? They obviously know something no one else does. I thought to myself. She looked at him and gave me a quick glance then, looked at them again.

"I don't know, I was already panicking and overthinking about going into the lounge with all of the adults. And I got scared. I had a panic attack and Ms. Johanson calmed me down. Then I don't know.... All of the sudden I wasn't at set anymore. I was at "home" with Frank and Lynda. So-so no, it was a different memory." She rambled out and looked at the floor. I feel bad, did I trigger the flashback by touching her shoulder? I thought. I went over to kneel in front of her. I brought my fingers to her chin and lifted her head up so she would see me. This time she didn't flinch.
"Hadlee, did it trigger you when I touched your shoulder after the panic attack?" I asked in a gentle tone. She closed her eyes and nodded her head.
"Oh hunny, I am so sorry. I didn't know. But please remember that I will never hurt you."I told her.
"Thank you ma'am." She said barely above a whisper. I laughed slightly at her calling me ma'am.
"Hadlee, please call me Scarlett. Ma'am makes me feel old." I told her smiling. She gave a small smile in return and nodded her head.

"Hadlee why don't you take the rest of the day off. The work day is basically over anyway. Okay?" Anthony said. Hadlee looked shocked and slightly scared.
"Are you sure?! And are you sure you want me to come back to work? I mean I definitely just fucked everything up. The whole cast is going to know I am just some broken teen with trauma. I reall-" Joe cut her off before she panicked more.

She is definitely not just a broken teen. Something happed to her and now she thinks she's broken? This poor girl is breaking my heart. I thought.

"Hadlee.... Of course we want you to come back. And you didn't 'fucked everything up' and you are NOT just some 'broken teen'. Hadlee, you went through things that no one could even imagine. What you went through makes Hydra and The Red Room look like nothing." What?! I thought.
He took a deep breath before he continued. "You have every right to break down. What happened to you should have NEVER happened. But you need to know now that, you are not alone anymore. I know that scares you more than anything but believe me when I say absolutely none of the adults here will ever hurt you. Okay?" Joe said as he gave her a hug.
"Yeah and if they ever try to hurt you I'll go all Black Widow on them."I said with a smile, in hopes to lighten the mood. She laughed a bit and said "thank you guys."

"So, what do you say I drive you to your house?" Anthony asked her. She looked hesitant but nodded her head. She stood up with Anthony and Joe.
"Thank you guys. Sorry for causing a scene." She told us.
"Hun, you don't have to be sorry. It's ok." I told her in a soft tone. She nodded and said bye. Her and Anthony left.

Joe turned to me and took a deep breath. "I bet you have questions on what just happened." He said.
"Um... yeah" I said with a sigh.
"Hadlee has been through a lot. I don't want to go into detail but she lost her parents at a young age... they were murdered. Then she was abducted and now she's been in foster care ever since." He told me. I looked at him shocked.
Oh my god. 'Murdered' 'abducted' she has been through so much. She's only 17?!
"Wow... that's- that's awful." Is all I could say with tears in my eyes.
"Yes, it is but, she is strong And I've noticed that somehow she trust you. That is huge for her. Typically it's either Anthony or I who can get her to calm down. But, you calmed her down from her panic attack.... That's big Scarlett." He told me With a smile. I smiled back and nodded my head. "Thank you." I said. As he walked away.

I walked back to my trailer and Lizzie was there, outside of my trailer. She looked worried.
"What's going on? Is Hadlee ok?" She asked concerned.
"She has been through a lot by the sounds of it. In the hallway she had a panic attack. I got her calmed down, but then it escalated and she had a PTSD attack. She told be to get the Russo's and that's when everyone walked in." I told her in a sad tone.
"Oh my god, that's terrible. I hope she's ok." Lizzie said
"Yeah she's strong. But I also think she hides how she's really doing." I said. Lizzie looked at me sad for a minute. We were interrupted by a staff member saying we were needed.

After we were done it was pretty late. It was time to leave for the day. I packed my stuff, said bye to everyone and headed home. When I got there it was about 10pm. Colin had just put Cosmo to sleep. Rose is at her dad's. When I walked in Colin was on the couch. He turned around and he saw that today was a rough day. He patted the spot next to him on the couch. I sat down next me him and put I head on he shoulder. I started crying a little.
"Hey, what's going on? Talk to me." He told me in a gentle tone.
I took a deep breath and explained everything to him about Hadlee. He looked at me shocked.
"Oh wow.... And she's only 17? That's awful. But she seems strong. Plus she has you now to help her." He says encouraging. I smile at him and say. "Yeah she does."
We started getting ready for bed when I got a message... from Hadlee. After I saw what she said I called Lizzie.
