Radio Silence | Scarlett Johansson X OC Daughter

11 | Oh and don't forget me.

Six days later.

Sage never grew attached to people anymore. That was a rule she had made years ago to keep herself safe. It was also the same rule she had now broken.

Scarlett was leaving for two weeks the next day and Sage didn't know how she would manage. Sure, Colin and her foster siblings were nice but not like Scarlett. She had this soothing aura around her that could calm the girl at any time.

She was currently sat in bed, her back against the headboard and her diary in her lap. She needed to empty her head before Scarlett came in to say goodnight because otherwise she might've cry, and she didn't want that.

Dear Mom.

I know I haven't written this week but I've been busy so don't come for me. (Okay, who am I kidding? You ditched me. Moving on)

When I went and joined my foster family for that movie night I was talking about, I ended up falling asleep as I was cuddled up to Scarlett. It was so comforting I wanted to cry. Then after the movie was finished she carried me upstairs and tucked me into bed. I like when she does that. It's really nice.

I wish she could've come into my life earlier. Maybe, if she did, I wouldn't be this broken.

She's leaving though, for two weeks. It's some movie premiere and she'd going all over Europe to represent marvel and stuff. Is it weird to say that I'll miss her a lot? I think it is. I've only known her for a few weeks but she feels safe. Colin does too, but not as Scarlett does.

Rose and I have started getting along really well. I taught her some tricks on the trampoline and she taught me all about Disney. We played charades yesterday and mine and Rose's team won. Colin and Scarlett sucked and I thought they would be good, considering they are both actors.

As for Cosmo, it's going well with him too. He's really cute and him me and Rose love to play hide n seek. Even though they never find me, it's fun. Cosmo sucks at hiding but he's pretty good at searching which is fun. He always finds Rose first and she gets SO mad every time.

Colin and I made dinner two days ago which was fun. His jokes are funny too and his smile is really goofy. But even though he jokes a lot he still respects me and my boundaries. I like that.

I just don't know how I'm gonna manage without Scarlett. God, I feel so stupid for even saying that. I promised myself I would get attached to someone again and yet here I am: In my room, trying to write my feelings down before I burst into tears in front of Scarlett. I know I trust her but I don't want people to see me cry. It makes me feel weak, and I don't want to be weak anymore.

I've got to go.

Love you.

Sage.

The girl just about managed to hide her diary, before Scarlett knocked gently on the door.

"Sage, I'm coming in."

She stepped inside, her blonde hair tied up in a ponytail and she was dressed in a pair of blue and white plaid pyjama pants and a 'The Outset' t-shirt.

Scarlett approached Sage, who was still sitting in bed. She took a seat on the bed next to Sage.

"Are you going to sleep?" She queried, tilting her head slightly.

Sage nodded and sent her a closed mouth smile in response. She reached for her whiteboard that was neatly placed on her nightstand and wrote a few words.

'I'll miss you when you leave.'

Scarlett's eyes softened and her shoulders dropped slightly.

"I'll miss you too, more than you even know." She said, reaching over and tucking a strand of hair behind Sage's ear. "But I'll be back before you know it."

Sage knew that, but she'd still miss her a lot.

"And I'm only a text or a call away." Scarlett added, trying to reassure her.

Sage nodded again as she sunk into her thoughts. Last time they hugged, the only time they'd ever hugged, was six days ago when Scarlett had told her she was leaving. She wanted a hug again but she was afraid to ask it. But she also knew that Scarlett wouldn't ask for it in this moment. She reached for her whiteboard and wrote a few words on the blank board.

'Could I maybe get a hug?'

Something in Scarlett's eyes changed when she read that. She smiled and nodded before shuffling over and wrapping her arms around Sage. Sage clung to her tightly, trying to save this feeling of comfort for a day when she would need it. Scarlett's hugs felt like the air outside after a heavy rain. Cleaning and comforting.

"I'll definitely miss your hugs." Scarlett muffled into her hair.

Sage leaned back and looked up at Scarlett with a small frown resting on her face. She quirked an eyebrow in a 'why' look.

"Don't look at me like that." Scarlett chuckled. "I like your hugs, okay?"

The girl smiled before leaning back against her chest with a sight.

'I like your hugs too' she thought to herself.

Then she leaned back and grabbed her whiteboard.

When she turned it around to face Scarlett it read: 'So what am I not allowed to do when you're gone? ;)'

Scarlett chuckled and ruffled her blonde hair.

"Well, no drugs, drinking or smoking." She said in a mock scolding tone. "And absolutely no throwing parties at home."

Sage let out an 'almost' laugh which made Scarlett smile even wider.

"Oh and don't forget me." She added with a joking tone.

'I could never forget such an annoying person.' Sage joked back through her whiteboard.

Scarlett laughed and pulled Sage closer with an arm.

"Love ya, kid." She told her.

'Love you too Scarly' Sage thought, hoping that Scarlett could hear her thoughts.

A whole fluff chapter just for you, but Scarlett is leaving (temporarily tho dw).

Guys something crazy happened. So, as I've said before, we get paid to go to school here. Around 125 euros a month (1250 Swedish crowns) and because I do an internship (which is like more work) I could petition to get 100 euros more a month to cover some expenses. The thing is when I filed for it, they denied it and I did try to overrule it and stuff before I gave up and moved on with my life. But yesterday I went into my account to check how much I had and I saw that the organization that pays me to go to school had added 500 euros into my account. So that's basically the money that I should've gotten during the span of five months. Idk I was just really happy so now you know that lol.

Not rly proofread but well well.
