okay real quick before this chapter- we hit 1k reads😭 thank you so much for picking my book! it's growing so fast and i'm so greatful. okay that's all i wanted to say. enjoy this chapter😋

we arrive back at scarletts house around 4:30 so we decided to start making supper. she just makes up some grilled cheese and soup before we walk into the living room to watch movies and eat.

we watch iron man 2 so i can see scarletts introduction into the mcu again. just as it finishes i look over across the couch "you deserve your own movie scar" i say

"you think so?" she turns her head to look at me

"yes i do! i love natasha and plus i love you so i think you should get your own movie. chris h. has his, dad has his and downey has his. i think it's time that marvel gives you your own." i say and i watch as scarletts face grows into a huge smile

"come here angel" she pulls in into a huge hug "i love you so much, i hope you know that" she whispers into my ear as she starts to rock back and forth.

my eyes start to fall heavy as she continues to rock side to side, rubbing her hand up and down my back as my arms stay wrapped around her back and my head resting against her shoulder. -i let the tiredness take over my body as i fall asleep.


"ruby!" i hear the all-too familiar voice scream my name and i can feel the hair stick up on the back of my neck.

i turn around to see mary standing on the sidewalk infront of me- not to far away. my whole body freezes in fear.

"w-what are you doing here?" i stumble on my words trying to get my thoughts straight

"well i came to see you rue" she smiles a bitter smile

"no you don't get to call me that. only chris and my friends call me that." i say bitterly back

"where did this attitude come from?" she steps closer to me and it feels like i'm 8 years old all over again- fear flooding my body

"you don't scare me anymore" i try to control my shaky voice

"well that may be true, but let me tell you something sweetheart. sooner or later you are going to disappoint chris just like you disappointed me and just like your parents" she spits and i feel tears starting to well up in my eyes

"no i won't! chris loves me" my voice starts to fall weak as my body starts to shake in fear and sadness

"are you sure about that baby? your parents didn't want you, i sure as hell don't want you so what makes you think chris wants you?" she steps closer to me again- closing the gap i between us as she reaches her hand up to tuck a strand of hair behind my ear- sending a shiver down my spine as her hand grazes my skin

"chris loves me" i repeat with a weak voice

"i don't think so baby" the nickname rolls off her tongue like poison

"you're wrong!" i shout back and she just smiles

"oh but i don't think i am" she says in a sing-song like tone. "your parents tried to change you for years but finally gave up on you and threw you away like trash. sadly i got you, and i tried to make you a good child but you refused everything i tried to teach you"

"you didn't teach me anything! you neglected me, you abused me!" i shout back, tears falling from my eyes in anger

"awe sweetie, don't get upset, you were just never good enough for your parents" she smiles

"they were never my parents!" i shout back making her flinch again

"now, do i need to remind you what happens to kids when they raise their voice at me?" she asks raising her hand up in the air making my heart beat faster.

"no!" i shout but she slaps me across the face- harder then it has ever happened before

"count with me now, that was only one, we go to ten. that's the rule" she raises her hand again

"stop! you don't get to do this anymore!" i shout back and she slaps me across the face for a second time.

"rue!" i her a voice in the back of my head calling my name but i can't focus on it over the burning sensation in my cheek

"rue angel" i hear the voice again, only to realize it's scarlett.

"rue! come on, wake up!" i jolt away, sitting up straight as the tears start falling from my eyes and i start hyperventilating

"it was just a bad dream angel, its okay" scarlett pulls me into a hug trying to calm my tears and breathing but nothing is working

"i-i w-want dad" i manage to stay through my sobs and scarlett let's go of me to get up from the couch i was sleeping on to go get her phone to call chris.

third person pov:

scarlett hurry's into her room to go retrieve her phone. she picks it up and dials chris number hoping he will pick up even though it's 3:40 in the morning.

"come on chris" she mumbles to herself as she hears it ring

"hello?" i tired chris answers from the other end of the line after the phone rings a few times

"chris, i need you to come get rue" scarlett speaks quickly

"chris? what's wrong?" another voice speaks from chris end of the line and scarlett assumes it's his new thing morgan.

"scar? what's wrong with rue?" chris voice gains worry

"she had a really bad nightmare. i don't know what about but it really freaked her out. she's just asking for you" chris instantly hopes out of his bed and starts to head to his car- leaving morgan in his room- as he makes his way over to scarlett as fast as possible.

"tell her to hold on, i'll be there in 10 minutes" chris says before hanging up and pulling out of his driveway.

scarlett gets off her bed and walks back out to the couch to try and comfort rue the best as possible. when she enters the living room she sees rue siting on the couch with her knees brought to her chest and her head resting down on top of them.

scarlett decides to just sit down next to the sad girl and wait for chris to arrive.
