❝I wanna tell you how
how I feel but I'm scared
of being hurt again, scared
of you not feeling the same
and scared of falling harder.❞

❝Daddy is... going to be away for some time. Why? Because sometimes Mummy's and Daddy's fight...❞
Scarlett's POV
I was by the sink, for the third time.
It was three in the morning and I had a feeling that the next thing I'd throw up was my stomach. It was killing and my throat was sore.
Wrapping my arms around my stomach, I walked out of the bathroom and made my way back to my bed. I slowly lay down and sighed, looking to my left.
Right now, Benedict would be up, twirling my hair in between his fingers and cracking jokes.
But he wasn't. He was somewhere else. God knows where.
I closed my eyes and took three deep breaths. Finally, the sickening feeling died down and suddenly, I hear a knock on my door. I sit up and cross my legs.
"Come in." I say weakly and the door opened.
"Mommy?" Ella steps in, rubbing her eyes.
"Hey baby... why aren't you sleeping?" Ella moved towards my bed and coughs.
"I couldn't sleep Mommy... I keep remembering you and Daddy shouting. And I wanted Daddy to read me a bedtime story." I inhaled sharply and help her onto the bed.
"El... honey... Me and Daddy are going through some issues..." She yawns.
"But... why can't you and Daddy forgive each other?" She asks and my eyes begin to fill with tears. I stroke her hair.
"It's not that easy sweetie..." I sniffle and wipe away my tears.
"Why are you crying Mommy?" I swallow.
"Because, I'm not well baby." I get up and reach for a tissue patting my eyes. Then, I walked over to my bed, sitting back down.
"Get better Mommy." She leans forward and pecks me on my cheek ever so lightly. I smile.
"Thanks sweetheart." I pull Ella toward me and hug her, more tears forming in my eyes.
That's it. I was losing it.
"Scarlett, are-" Lucy peers her head round the door. "El! What are you doing up?" I let go of her and she jumps off the bed.
"She couldn't sleep." I tell her and Ella moved to the door.
"Night Mommy, night Aunty Lucy." Waving at Ella, I watch her walk out the room and close the door with her head bowed.
Lucy makes her way to the bed.
"You alright?" She asks me and I shake my head.
"I've been chucking up. It's driving me crazy." Lucy places the back of her hand onto my forehead.
"Hm... You're not warm..."
"I probably have a stomach bug. I'll go to the Doctor's tomorrow." I sigh.
"So... What happened with you and Ben?" Biting the bottom of my lip, I get up.
"I found him with... another woman." Lucy gasped.
"Oh no... Oh Scar. What you gonna do?" Sitting down, I shrug.
"I don't know but... first I need to go to the Doctor's." Lucy gets up and makes her way to the bathroom. I frown. "What are you doing?"
"How long have you been sick for?"
"A few days, why?" I ask, peculiar.
"Is it always at this time?"
"Well... yeah. But also in the evening. But mostly mornings, it's probably-" Lucy waves a box at me and I choke. "No. No!"
"Come on! It's the only reason I can think of!"
"Oh shit man... there's no way I can pregnant again. I mean we did... you know... but me and Ben agreed... We'd be careful and not have any more kids..." I fiddled with the box and clench my jaw.
"Just be sure..." She rubs my shoulder.
"Seriously... I... feel like I don't him anymore..."
"What are you going to do?"
"Well, I-" My phone vibrates and I ignore the call.
"Ben?" She ask me.
"Obviously..." I lick my lips. "I think... I'm going to have to divorce him Luce."
"Oh, come on Scar. Don't make any rash decisions!" Lucy tells me.
"The thought of him makes my skin crawl. He won't stop calling. He won't just let it go..."
"You sure?"
"Pretty positive."
"Well, whatever you do..." She throws her arms around me. "... I'll be right there with you." I simpered.
