Little Princess ~A.M~

Chapter 6

~Aston's POV~

I looked at Scarlet as i opened my hotel room door, i let Scarlet go first as i followed close behind in case she fell.

Marvin followed carrying a bag of Scarlet's clothes that she's gonna need for the rest of the week.

"I'm gonna text the boys, telling them to come back, OK?". I turned to Scarlet as she sat on the sofa, she looked up at me giving me a slight nod as she bit her bottom lip, something i realized she did when she's about to cry.

I sighed deeply and made my way over to her, the second i sat down, she leaned her head on my shoulder as her tears fell, i wrapped my arm around her waist and let her cry.

Marvin held up his phone, silently telling me he would text the boys, i nodded once as i wrapped my other arm around Scarlet, trying not to hurt her.

"I-I mi-miss her s-so much". She sobbed into my chest.

"I know you do babe, but you're not alone, OK? Just remember that".

She nodded once as she slowly pulled away from me and wiped the tears away, she took a deep breath just as the hotel room door flew open making her jump in fear, i placed my hand on her knee trying to comfort her as i glared at the two over-excited lads as they ran in the room.

"Where is she?!". JB shouted making her flinch once again.

"Would you two calm the fuck down?!". I sighed while standing up.

JB looked down at Scarlet who was staring up at them with a hint of fear in her eyes, "It's OK babe, we won't hurt you". He spoke softly as he sat next to her with his arms open wide.

She smiled slightly as she hugged him back, "It's lovely to finally meet you Scarlet!".

Oritse bounced over and gently pulled JB away from her and sat down pulling her in a hug, trying not to hurt her.

"Hiya love, we've heard a lot about you".

Scarlet glanced up at me as she hugged him back, i smiled softly at her as she slowly pulled away from the hug.

~Later that night~

I made my way into the living room and saw Scarlet curled up on the sofa clutching a blanket close to her as the tears silently rolled down her cheeks.

I sighed deeply while running my fingers through my hair, i was about to walk to her when Marvin came and stood next to me, watching Scarlet, "How's she holding up?". He kept his voice as a whisper not wanting Scar to hear.

I shook my head, "Terrible bruv, i mean it's only natural when you've lost your mum, and she's so young, i just-she's never gonna get over this".

"No, she won't, but with our help, especially yours, it'll get better for her".

I nodded as i made my way over to her and sat down, "You OK?". I spoke softly and even then she flinched as she glanced over at me wiping the tears away.

"Just last week things were good, things were normal and now.....". She paused and took a shaky breath, "I was so close to my mum, we did everything together, went everywhere together, it may be weird to say, but she was my best friend, i loved her so much and now i'm never gonna see her again!".

She started sobbing as she hid her face in the cushions, i sighed deeply and sat closer to her as i slowly wrapped my arm around her waist, not wanting to frighten her, but instead she flew into my grip as she clung to my t-shirt.

A while passed before she managed to calm herself down, she wiped the tears away and sat up, slowly pulling away from me, "I-I'm sorry".

I shook my head and held both of her hands, "Never apologise, OK? You have nothing to be sorry for".
