Changes. (Scarlett Johansson x daughter story)

Chapter 62

Scarlett's POV:

I though that things with me and Maddie were getting better, I thought that we were actually getting somewhere but somehow I was wrong.

She's been distancing herself and spending more time out of the house. I only see her for a few minutes in the morning and a few minutes at night. 

Her dance competition was postponed and yet Maddie seems to be spending more time in the studio than anywhere else. She's working herself to hard and she looks exhausted, I don't think she's sleeping and every time I try to mention how she should take a break she just avoids the question or denies that she's tired but I'm not stupid and I can tell when someone isn't sleeping and pushing themselves too far.

She's still ignoring her aunt's, she's stopped ignoring her dad but then again I think that's just because he couldn't get the hint that she was trying to ignore him. 

I tried to explain to him my worries but he said that Maddie knows when it's too much and that she knows when to stop. Yet I don't believe him, maybe in the past she knew what she was doing  but I don't think she's taking notice this time. She seems so distance.

She skips dinner with us and just eats the smallest bit but even then I have to push her to. I don't think she's trying not to eat on purpose, I think she's just too exhausted and forgets.

I also know that ignoring her entire family on her dad's side is helping either because even if she doesn't feel comfortable talking to me, I would be able to get the slightest bit of comfort knowing that she was talking to her aunt's but now she's just not talking to anyone.

I think I'm worrying even more knowing what happened when she was younger. Maybe because I know that somehow that's not the only thing she's keeping from me or maybe because she distanced herself right after she broke down infront of me.

Her aunt's know that I know about what happened and have said that the fact that she told me is a stepping stone in our relationship but I don't feel like it is. I feel like everything just go worse. It feels like we just went back to the first time she arrived here. I'm glad that she told me but at the same time it feels like It's just made everything 10x worse.

It's currently 3 am and I am overthinking all of this whilst trying to get some last minute work done. Let's just say no work has been completed. I start to put away all of my things and just give up with trying to get this done and go to bed. 

Before I go to bed I check up on the girls to make sure they're okay. First rose since her room is closer and then Maddie. Rose is fast asleep at the bottom of the bed, I swear this kid will fall out of that bed one day with the amount of moving she does. I kiss her head and then leave shutting the door behind me. Before I even get to Maddie's room, I see the light is on which means she's awake.

 I open the door and Maddie turns her head to me. She's sat at her desk doing homework.

 "Baby, it's pretty late, I think you should get some sleep" I tell her moving closer to her. I look at what she's working on. Maths. 

 " I need to get this done but apparently this stupid paper hates me and is taking too long" she groans and hides her face in her hands.

 "Why don't you get it done later on today okay? Get some rest baby" she shakes her head and picks up her pen and writes some answers down.

 "I can't. It's due in today"

 "I could write you a note, you need to get some sleep" I try and convince her.

 "I'm nearly finished. I'll go to bed when I'm done"

 "Maddie you've barely been sleeping as it is.I think you need to go to bed"

 "Just leave it mum. It's not that big of a deal, I've been sleeping fine" 

 I let her continue doing her work whilst I try and think of a way to make her to listen to me.

"I was talking to you aunt's before and they really miss talking to you maddie".

She ignores me and put her papers down and then climbs into bed.

"Baby, you can't ignore them forever" 

she pulls the covers up and closes her eyes. 

Ugh, why didn't someone tell me how hard having a teenager who doesn't listen is?

 "I'm gonna let you sleep now mads. But please baby, you can't keep on ignoring everyone." I kiss her head and leave the room, closing the door behind me.

 I make me way to my room and quietly get ready for bed trying not to be too loud for Colin.

I'm hoping that she starts talking to everyone again otherwise the surprise that we've planned is going to be very awkward if they're not talking.

I think she might just need time to process everything. I'm just hoping that she will start to open up to me soon. I only just got her to talk to me properly and I don't want anything to ruin that. So if I have to wait then I can wait.
