Chapter 8: Chapter 8
Your POV
I didn't stay offset long. Probably for two days, I was out but not longer than that. I contacted Martin about my shoots and he said that my scenes are ready whenever I am. It wasn't hard to get back on track of things, so it didn't take long to get the scenes done. Scarlett even missed me on set. We were on a break from filming for a couple of weeks so I split my time with Scarlett and get some time for myself. Right now, I'm spending some time with myself and a couple of friends that flew out to see me from my hometown. We were sitting at an outdoor cafe just catching up.
"I'm so glad that you're doing great out here Y/N," Ashley says.
"I thought that you would have still flopped out here when we were still in high school," Justin says, teasingly.
Justin was one of the few bullies I had in high school that made my life a living hell. Ever since he started dating Ashely, he's apologized for the bullying and helped stop the others from bullying me as well. He's still a little snarky to me sometimes, but I take that in stride.
"I'm glad that I haven't just yet," I tell.
"I'm just glad that I could get out of Y/H/T. I love it, don't get me wrong, but I need some time away." Ashley tells.
"I can get that," I tell.
We began talking about what has been happening at home and in our lives when Justin gets a shocked look on his face.
"Still getting starstruck I see," I say, taking a sip of tea.
"I can't believe you get to see this every day. Wherever you look, you see a celebrity." Ashley squeals.
"There's Scarlett Johansson too," Justin tells.
I turn in my seat and see it was indeed Scarlett. She was with someone, but I couldn't see who, since they had their back to us. I could tell it was female but didn't know who that female figure was. She turned and I paled at who it was. Scarlett's ex-girlfriend and "supposed" mother of her child, Hailee Steinfeld. Scarlett bends to kiss Hailee and I finally turn away from them. I didn't let it show on my face that I was upset since I didn't tell my friends that I was dating Scarlett. I only told Emma who was my manager and could block any rumors that start of us together.
"Man, this is all awesome. Celebrities are everywhere." Justin says.
"Yeah and I'm somehow grouped into them," I tell.
I look around and see a group of paparazzi coming down the walkway. I grab my phone and scroll to the siren that everyone uses for paparazzi coming. I max out the volume and look to my friends.
"You might want to cover your ears," I tell.
They do and I play the siren. Many of the celebrities scatter hearing the siren and the paparazzi swear as they retreat. Once I see them gone, I turn off the siren and pack my things.
"Paparazzi are ruthless on getting rumors started. When someone plays the siren, it alerts any nearby celebrity to run and for paparazzi to leave. Meaning I have to go." I tell.
"Well, we're going to go to our hotel. Call us when this dies down." Justin tells.
I hug them and walk to my car. I get in and drive to my house, not willing to cry in my car. I pull into my driveway. I get out and into my house. I immediately call Scarlett, not wanting to get anything wrong from my perspective.
"Hey, love," Scarlett says.
"Hey. You were down on the boulevard, right?" I ask.
"I was, yeah. I heard the siren and left. Why what's wrong?" she asks.
"I saw you," I say.
She didn't say anything and I could hear shuffling in the background.
"What do you mean?"
"I saw you. With your ex-girlfriend." I tell.
"Love, it's not what you think," she says.
"So you kissing her is not what I think? What is it, Scarlett? Are you getting back with her, is this a publicity stunt, what is this?!?" I ask.
"Look we just met up since we were on the same side of the boulevard," she tells.
"And that just haves you kiss her?!? You told me that she means nothing to you!!" I tell.
"It doesn't mean that I can't hang out with people I know!!"
"Oh, so you would let me hang out with any of my ex's?" I ask.
"That's different!!"
"How is that any different than what your doing?!? For god sakes Scarlett, she spread the rumors of you having a child with her!!" I say.
"Well I do, okay!!"
I was shocked at that and didn't know what to say about it.
"What?" I say.
"Her name is Rose. Rose Dorothy Johansson."
"So she wants to be a family again," I say.
"She does."
"So what? Was I just a fling?" I ask.
"You...Hey give that back!!" she says.
"Look, whoever this is, Scarlett has me now. Thanks for keeping her bed warm while I was away. Goodbye." Hailee says.
She hangs up and that's when I broke down. I called Emma in my crying stupor and she said she was coming over.
Two Hours and One Good Cry Later
Emma was a great manager and friend to help me through the things that I was feeling. In my stupor, I tried to seduce her into bed, but she wasn't having it. She didn't want to take advantage of this moment by putting her own feelings in this.
"I should have known this would happen. A big named actress and player liking me. HA!! Biggest mistake of my life!!!" I say.
"We don't know that Y/N," Emma says.
"No, I should have known this would have just been an act!! She would never leave her family for me!! I'm just the side hoe in this!! I'm not being the side hoe!! I'm done with Scarlett Johannson." I yell.
"I can pull you out of the movie if you want some distance from her," Emma tells.
"No. I'm going to finish this movie, even if I have to be near her to do it," I tell.
"Alright. Just be careful." Emma tells.
"Oh, I will. You'll see a side of me that you've never seen before." I tell.
"That's what I'm afraid of," Emma mutters as I move towards my bedroom.
Three Weeks Later
We're back on set, this time in Switzerland. I was in my trailer going over lines when I hear a knock on the door. I set down the script and go to open it.
"Hey, love," Scarlett says.
"What do you want?" I ask.
"Can I come in?" she asks.
I roll my eyes and step to the side to let her in. She comes in and I close the door behind us.
"Now what do you want?" I ask.
"I've been trying to contact you for the past two weeks, but you haven't been returning my calls," Scarlett tells.
"I haven't been returning your calls, because I've done what was needed for me. I've warmed your bed, just like your girlfriend said. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a scene to shoot." I tell.
I push past her and out of the trailer. We go onset and go through miss shot scenes, missed lines, and angry yells of "Cut!!". Martin calls Scarlett and me over with the rest of the cast and talks with us.
"This isn't looking, good everyone. We have only two weeks to finish up this movie and we've already lost two days of filming. Go to your hotels for today and we'll get to the bottom of where this is." Martin tells.
We nod to him and get started on our way to the hotel.
"Y/N," a voice says.
I turn and see Kat smiling at me. All throughout filming, she's been trying to ask me out and believe me. She's trying.
"Yes, Kat?" I ask.
"Would you like to ride with me to the hotel?" she asks.
"I'd like that," I tell.
She was shocked at first, but she smiled really wide again. She leads me to her car and helped me in.
'I know this won't help me get over Scarlett, but I'm not going to rely on her for anything.' I tell.
Scarlett's POV
Ever since everything with Hailee, my life with Y/N plummeted. I couldn't get in contact with her, Emma wasn't returning my calls, and even if I were to see her outside of the set, she would never give me the time of day. I watched as Y/N enters Kat's car and see Kat smirking at me as she gets in. I start fuming at that, knowing Kat wants her as much as I do.
"Come on Scarlett," Jer tells.
I sigh at that and move to our car. We get to our hotel and immediately go into our hotel room.
"I know this is a stupid question but are you okay?" Jer asks.
"My ex-girlfriend is trying to get back together with me, is holding my child against me, the love of my life isn't returning my calls, her manager isn't letting me see her, if we're in the same room she won't talk to me, and now she's in the arms of the person I despise!! I'm just peachy." I say sarcastically.
"In other news, your brooding in your room and not fighting for her," Jer tells.
"I've been fighting for her ever since that happened. I got custody of Rose and sent her to my mom to take care of her while I'm on set. I put a restraining order on Hailee so she can't get anywhere near me or Rose without permission. She's going on tour anyway so she isn't going to be a problem. Now I just need to get things better with Y/N." I tell.
"That's a great start. Right now, let's get-" Jer starts.
My phone rings, cutting him off. I grab it and look at it, seeing that it was Y/N. I immediately answer.
"Y/N," I say.
"Scarlett. I need your help," she tells.
"Where are you?" I ask, immediately getting up and gesturing to Jer to follow me.
"Third floor. Hurry," she tells.
I hear a crash in the background as she hung up and threw open my door and sprinted to the stairs.
"Jer, go get Martin!!" I yell.
"Got it!!" he tells.
I made my way down to the third floor and burst into the third floor. I hear a scream down the hall and see Kat pressing Y/N against the wall. I instantly ran full speed to both of them and tackle Kat down. I punched her a couple of times to make sure she stayed down.
"Don't. You. Ever. Touch. My. GIRL!!!" I yell with each punch I give her.
Once I knew she would stay down, I get off and turn to Y/N. Her clothes were in tatters and she was crying. I immediately pick her up and make my way to the elevator, just as the door opens and Martin and Jer come out.
"Ms. Johansson, what happened?!?!?" Martin asks.
"I believe Ms. Dennings was trying to rape her. I'm taking her to the hospital now." I tell, pushing past him.
"I got a car waiting behind the hotel. We got to use the back entrance." Jer tells.
"Go grab whatever stuff she had in the room," I tell.
Jer nods and I went down the stairs towards the back of the hotel. I load her in the back of the car as Jer comes down with Martin and gets in. I was worried because Y/N hasn't spoken a word since then and was just silently crying. We get to the hospital and I get out to get Y/N. When I open the door, she all but literally jumps into my arms, when I saw Martin trying to help her out. I ignore it for now and move towards the entrance. A nurse saw me coming in and immediately opened the doors to get me to a vacant room. Once in the room, I place Y/N on the bed and let the nurses and doctors check her out.
Three Hours Later
Martin, Jer, and I stayed up there as they assessed Y/N. A doctor comes out and over to us and I stand up to meet him.
"How is she?" I ask.
"She's doing better. There are signs of assault but nothing sexual. She made sure her attacker was hurt since I found some skin and blood under her nails. I've already started running the skin and blood through our system to build a report about it." the doctor tells.
"Can we see her?" Martin asks.
"You can. She's in room 282." the doctor tells.
We go down to room 282 and knock before we enter. We see her sitting up in the bed and smile as we come in.
"How are you doing Ms. Y/L/N?" Martin asks.
"I'm doing good." Y/N tells.
"Do you think you could tell us what happened?" I ask.
She nods and goes into her story about what happened.
My POV
Flashback
Five Hours Earlier
I entered the lobby of the hotel and went up to the third floor. Once I arrived, I went to my room to relax, when I heard a knock on the door. I go to look through the peephole and see Kat on the other side. I open the door and she smiles at me.
"Hey Y/N. I wanted to invite you over to my room for a drink." Kat tells.
'One drink couldn't hurt. Maybe this time she'll leave me alone.' I think.
"Alright. Just one drink. We still have scenes tomorrow." I tell.
"Great! I'll meet you in my room. It's 267." Kat tells.
She leaves for her room and I close the door. I roll my eyes at her enthusiasm and grab my phone. I set my phone to record and moved out of my room and down to Kat's. Once I get to the door, I knock on it and she opens up. She gestures for me to come in, so I walk in, not noticing her stares. I sit down on one of the vacant chairs as she pours us some drinks.
"How are you adjusting to the spotlight?" Kat asks.
"I don't have to adjust when I've already been in the spotlight before. TV show cameos, modeling gigs, things like that. " I tell.
"I guess you grew up in this," Kat tells.
"Not really. Y/H/T isn't really the movie and modeling place. More of the simple things." I tell.
"Sounds relaxing," she tells, walking over and handing me a drink.
I take the drink, her fingers brushing mines, but I felt nothing. No electricity, chills, or anything. Just pure disgust. I didn't let my face show the disgust, but I did smile as I sip the drink. It tasted bland, like really dry and old whiskey.
'Her drink tastes need work. Scarlett wouldn't offer whiskey like this.' I think.
"So what is it that you wanted? I know this small talk isn't just what you want." I ask.
"Your right. That isn't just what I want," she tells.
She stands over me and I look up at her.
"I want you. I need you."
"Want and need are two different things. You may want me, but you don't need me. Besides, I thought you would have gotten the hint by now." I tell.
I set the drink down and push her out of the way to get up and walk to the door.
"I'm not going to be yours," I tell.
Before I know it, she grabs my wrist and turns me around. She was angry, maybe even livid at my denial. I try to wrench my wrist out of her grip, but her grip didn't loosen. She pulls me back and throws me on the bed.
"Your nothing but a fucking cock sleeve to people like me and people like Scarlett!! No one will want you because all you are is just sloppy seconds!! I'll give you one chance. Do what I want and I won't ruin your career." she tells.
"Fuck you!" I say.
"I think I might just do that." she grins.
She tries to take off my clothes, but I fight her making her tear my clothes and scratching her arms and face. I kick her in the balls and push her off of me. She goes down easily and I could feel that she was the same as Scarlett.
"I'm nobody's cock sleeve. Not Scarlett's and definitely not yours!!" I tell.
I grab my phone and race out of the room.
My POV
Present Time
"That's when I called you and you know the rest," I tell.
"Your recorded the whole thing?" Jer asks.
"I always do whenever I talk to anyone. I have recordings from everyone I meet. The only time I never had too was...nevermind." I say.
The nurse comes in and tells them visiting hours are over and they head to leave.
'Saved by the bell.' I think.
Everyone files out, except for Scarlett.
"I told them I would be staying until Emma gets here," Scarlett tells.
"Alright," I tell.
We sit in silence for a while, not wanting to push any boundaries, or talk about what happened.
"Was what Hailee said true? That I'm just warming your bed?" I ask.
"No. Hailee means nothing to me ever since she left our daughter and me alone. I took her back to her house to pick up Rose and tell her that there can't be anything between us. She asked why and I told her that I was in love with a beautiful woman that has my heart. She didn't believe me and that's when you called. I told her that it was her calling." Scarlett tells.
"She didn't take it well, did she?" I ask.
"She heard how the conversation was going and I could see her plotting something, but I didn't know what. She butts in to try and get you out of my life. I told her that I was going to take full custody of Rose and she said it was fine with her. She said and I quote, "Now she won't bother me with the flings I bring over." she says.
She laughs bitterly at that and I couldn't help but shake my head at the stupidity of that woman.
"She doesn't care about our daughter and I don't want Rose growing up with a mother that doesn't love her. Rose is already old enough to know better than anyone about the situation she's in and I'm grateful for that. Hailee signed the papers giving me full custody and doesn't have to pay anything for Rose. I also filed a restraining order on her so she can't come near me or Rose, not like she wanted anything to do with us anyway." Scarlett tells.
"I'm sorry about that," I tell.
"Don't be. She chose to do this, so she can deal with the consequences." Scarlett tells.
I nod at that and look at her.
"Thank you. For saving me." I say.
"There's no need to thank me. Like I told you before, you have me on your side. No one is going to hurt you." she tells, smiling softly at me.
There's a knock on the door, making us turn our heads towards it and look at it. Emma sticks her head in and smiles at me.
"Hey Y/N/N. Hello Scarlett." Emma says.
"Nice to see you too, Emma," Scarlett tells.
"What did I say about that stupid nickname?" I ask.
"That I can only use it and nothing would happen if I did." Emma teases.
"We'll see when we get out of here. Now, what did the doctor say?" I ask.
"He said that if you wanted, you could leave," Emma tells.
"Alright. Get me out of here. I can smell the hospital scent seeping into my clothes." I tell.
"I should be going too. Martin will probably have everyone come in and say Kat will be leaving our cast." Scarlett tells.
"Right. We'll make sure Kat doesn't come anywhere near you, Y/N." Emma tells.
"Good," I tell.
I get up to get into some more clothes and realized that I didn't have any.
"I brought you some of my clothes," Scarlett tells, holding up a bag.
"Thanks," I tell, taking the bag.
I brush her fingers and could feel the electricity from her that I didn't with Kat. I smile softly at that and go into the bathroom to change. It was some form-fitting khakis and a button-down shirt. I exit the bathroom and walk with all of them towards the main desk. I sign the discharge papers and we meet up at our cars.
"I'll talk to you tomorrow?" Scarlett asks.
"Yeah. I'd like that." I say.
She smiles at that and gets into her car. Emma and I move to our car and we spend the night with our friends, who were glad that I was okay.
