Chapter 2: Forgetting The Past

After stomping all the way up the staircase, Scarlett slammed the door to her room as forcefully as possible, resulting in the big house to shake. Plopping down on her bed, she began to cry. Scarlett was almost positive that her genius, billionaire, playboy, phillanthropist of a father would much rather spend a day at the mall with one of his retired Iron Man suits than with his own daughter. As the poor, uncared for teenager wiped her red eyes, her mother entered the room.

"Hey baby. You know your father really doesn't mean to hurt your feelings, right? He's just a little over obsessed with his tinkering, it's all he has left of his past now," explained Pepper.

Scarlett gave her mother her famous glare and plainly stated, "He still has you. You were part of his past, Mom. I don't understand why he just can't give it up and be a normal dad!" Pepper shook her head and looked at the ground.

"I don't get it either sweetheart. But I'm sure he'll come around eventually. Now, come downstairs and help me make dinner. I know you love to do that," said Pepper. Scarlett smiled at her content mother, and after wiping her eyes one last time, followed her down the stairs.
