Adopted by Jennifer Lawrence

Chapter 36

Jen's POV (Later that day)

"What are you doing?" I ask Scarlett as she fiddles with my phone.

"I don't know," She mutters back to me while she tries to unlock the device.

"Okay then," I laugh softly as I play with her hair.

Katie is asleep on the bed beside us and Scarlett is sitting in my lap as I lay back against the headboard.

A few seconds later Scar drops the phone down on the bed beside her and I pick it up to see if she got in but come to find the opposite. She's managed to lock it for fifteen minutes.

"Scarlett," I groan and she starts to giggle.

"What?" She asks me.

"You know what," I reply.

"Sawwy," She giggles at me and I just roll my eyes and drop the phone back down beside me.

Just then I hear a gurgling groan come from Katie on the other side of the bed, who is laying on her front with her arms sprawled out on either side.

"Welcome back," I mock her.

"Funny," She groans and sits up.

"How'd you sleep?" I ask

"Okay," She sighs and stretches her arms out in front of her.

"What have you guys been up to?" She asks me in a gruff voice.

"Nothing much just laying here," I reply simply.

"Fun," She comments and stands up.

"What time is it?" She asks me.

"Seven thirty," I reply after looking at my phone.

"AM or PM?" She questions further.

"AM," I laugh back at her lack of awareness

"I know I'm stupid, there's no need to laugh and point," She sniggers slightly at me.

"I didn't point," I counter.

"Might as well have." She pouts sarcastically as she goes into the bathroom.

A few minutes later she returns to the room and pulls a grey hoodie on and sits on the bed so that she faces Scar and I.

"What's that?" She asks with her eyes on my neck.

"What?" I ask and crane my neck so that I can see my neck but don't get a view of what she's talking about.

"Is that a hickey?" She questions with a cheeky grin.

Oh shit, I mentally slap myself.

"What? No. Where?" I answer quickly.

"Right there." She points out to me while she slowly pulls down the neck of my dressing gown to reveal the red mark.
"Oh that... I fell down." I mutter and pick up my phone.

"On someone's lips?" She teases mockingly and I don't reply and pretend to be busy on my phone even though it's locked.

"Where'd you get the hickey?" She asks again and now Scar is looking at me for an answer.

"Emmm... From Darren..." I mutter back quietly and scratch the back of my neck nervously.

"Aronofsky?" She adds

Damn she heard.

"Uh huh," I nod slowly and look down.

"I see," She replies and picks up her phone with a weird expression on her face that I can't figure out.

"What you doin' there?" I ask her and hold my head up in hopes of seeing over her phone but it's not successful.

"Shh," she holds her finger up quickly.

I go quite and sit there watching her for a few minutes.

"I approve... but if he does anything. I won't hesitate to drop that mofo." She smiles but turns serious.

"What are you on about?" I laugh at her.

"I just had a wee creep session and I approve but if he does anything and I mean anything I will drop his ass." She laughs a little but you can tell she's serious which makes me burst out laughing.

"What's a mofo?" Scar asks as we both laugh and she sits there confused.

"It's a type of cake." Katie tells her then sniggers again.

"I want a mofo," Scarlett yells in response and Katie and I keel over laughing.

"What?" Scar keeps asking and it just spurs us on even more.

"Stop laughing at me," Scar begins to cry and I quickly stop but Katie has a harder time stopping which doesn't help me either cause I keep meeting out the odd snigger as I hug Scar in my lap.

"Stop laughing," I snigger lightly at Katie and she begins to calm more but can't keep the smirk off her face.

"Okay now?" I ask Scarlett and she just nods with a pout. I know what she's like so I leave her to pout and turn my attention to a smirking Katie.

"I'll have to meet Darren some time so that I can find out what you are getting yourself into." Katie smirks and bites her lip to hold on her laughter.

"Uh huh," I nod my head with a grin then hug Scarlett to my body.

"Right well I'm gonna have a shower then we can plan from there." Katie announces and jumps up from her sitting position on the bed then walks into the bathroom shutting the door behind her.

I look down on Scar who has her head buried in my chest and arms tightly around my body.

"Done pouting now?" I question her and she doesn't reply.

"Huh?" I mutter and lean her body back so that she's looking at me.

In response she just leans back into me and cuddles into my chest again.

I lean my face down to her head then kiss the top of it and hug her tighter with my chin resting on the top of her head.

I'm really glad they came but I still feel guilty about Renee. I think it was my fault. If it wasn't for me she would still be here but because I refused to do my stunt she isn't.

It's. All. My. Fault.
