the biggest star in the world

not alone

i was up by 8am the next morning after 9 hours of sleep. instead of heading straight down like i usually do i go on my phone for a bit to wake up. it had countless messages and apparently someone in the group found out nola and caleb are together now so they were kicked out of the group. it also meant they all knew i got cheated on.

i put my phone down closing my eyes again.  but i felt really disgusted and i remembered i was still in my work uniform.

i see a pile of clothes on the dresser and thank scarlett for being such a good person.
i grab them before heading for a shower.

from when i lived here for a few days i have some toiletries and stuff stocked up in their bathroom other than the guest items.

i have an ice cold shower so when i put the hoodie and pyjama pants on it feels just as warm.
i wash my hair and then my face scrubbing the horrible feeling from my skin.

leaving the shower i smelled of vanilla and strawberries and happily put on scarlett's clothes. 
i headed downstairs but couldn't find scarlett anyway. or colin or rose.

scared but curious i head to scarlett's home office and find her in there. "good morning" i said standing by the door and leaning on the door frame.

"morning madz, how you feeling. you seemed to have a long night last night"
"i'm not sure why i was so tired, but i" had to stop to yawn "have work again till late tonight"

"this is supposed to be your week off"
"i know i know, but i needed the money, besides this is what i used to do when i was going to school full time so i should be handing it" i could tell scarlett wanted to argue but instead she got up and i followed her to the kitchen.

i opened her fridge and found left over pasta. "can i eat this" i asked her and she nodded taking a double look to realise it was a container of pasta.

"if you really want to" she laughed making a coffee. she pulls back the blinds in the kitchen and sees a storm brewing already this morning.

"what are your plans for today?" i asked her as she offered me a coffee. I knew she couldn't keep me off caffeine.

"i need to do some grocery shopping, maybe clean up a little, i have a whole pile of roses laundry that needs to be folded. boring stuff really"

"i can help if you want, it's the least i could do to repay you"
"you don't own me anything honey"

in the end i ended up on their couch folding roses washing. all her clothes were so cute. i got a text from my manager and it was him saying the restaurant was booked out for a private event tonight so i wasn't needed.

sad on missing the pay but happy for the opportunity to plan a party. i think i deserved a fun night out.

by now we all had a group chat without the cheaters so i texted it asking if anyone was down for a party.

naturally it was everyone.

chloe of course was hosting. i would have to go get my fake id from home later.
"violet good morning" i said once i called her. she groaned at me since i woke her up. "i am very sorry my love" i teased. putting it on a speaker.

"party tonight! you're coming" i told her.
"maddie" she yawned "it's a wednesday, don't all your friends have school tomorrow"

"our school has the last thursday of the month off every month" i knew she was questioning it "i don't know why"

she agreed to come and then said she's going back to sleep.
and so i ended the call and went back to watching my show and doing the washing.

once folded i put it all back in the basket and carefully carried it back up to roses room where i put it away where it seemed to go.

returning the basket to the laundry i pass the kitchen and decide to do the dishes. i clean up roses scattered toys and tidy up the rest of the house. not that there was much to clean. this was a very clean family.

when scarlett emerged from her office next i was in the middle of refilling her ice trays since i had just used the last of it.

"i hope you weren't after any ice" i said as she watched me put it back.

"no... did you clean?" she asked shocked.
"yeah, i did roses washing then was in a cleaning mood, i hope that's okay"

"yeah, you didn't have to"
"i know scarlett" i laughed it off
"how's work going"

"good, im done all my meetings now, care to join me for lunch, my shout and then i need to go grocery shopping"

"yeah sure, tell me to leave and i will but can i go grocery shopping with you, i need to get some things myself. and i dont feel like being alone today"

"of course you can come, are you okay? you usually love your alone time" she asked concerned.

"no yeah i'm fine, it just gets a bit lonely in my apartment sometimes, that's why violets always over"

like i really liked adulting by myself at first but im too much of a peoples person for that. i need to be around people most of the time.

maybe i could apply for a roommate. technically this is 2 bedrooms but i wouldn't count it as.
i dunno. i got to my car and followed scarlett to wherever we were going.

it was this lovely restaurant and she lead us in. when we walked in we saw chris evan's by himself.

"christopher, alone again?" scarlett teases as we hovered by his table.
"stood up again, johansson he sighed and scarlett took that as an opportunity to join him. i sat down hesitantly and they talked for a second.

"it's nice to met you again again" chris says
"again again?" i questioned

"you don't remember do you? of course you don't, you were only little" chris laughs to himself. "i worked with your parents ages ago and we became best friends on set, you must have been only 3. you called me uncle chris. i can't believe i didn't recognise you before" he said pulling out his phone and scrolling to years back where i see a little kid photo of myself.

i seriously try to wrack my brain and remember  him but i can't.

but anyway. i guess we're having lunch with chris evan's.
