REDEMPTION // ADOPTED BY SCARLETT JOHANSSON

Chapter 22.

・⎯⎯ ⭔ HANNAH'S POV:

I sit up, gasping for air, looking around the dark room aimlessly. I don't know if i'm still dreaming, i can't see anything and my night light isn't on. I don't want to ask for help but i'm too scared to move.

I scramble to find my phone, keeping my eyes fixed straight ahead. I turn on the flashlight, revealing to myself that i am in fact awake and at home.

I check the time, and it's half four. Brilliant.
I know i probably won't be able to get anymore sleep so i just watch WandaVision and scroll through social media. Just a few more hate comments, a few edits, for some reason or other, and some fan pages which is cute.

I decide to message the group chat, see if anyone's awake.

me

joe

max

me

joe
okay !

I don't need to cause any more arguments than i already have so i think i'll avoid sneaking out. Scarlett and Elizabeth will be waking up at six for work so i only have an hour or so to kill.

There's a few news articles which is crazy because no one has been on television or been interviewed recently, but i guess that's just fame for you.

I turn off my phone, and turn on the TV, comforted as the room lights up more.

I decide at five to get ready for the day. I shower all the gross hospital germs off me, brushing my teeth and washing my face. I change into a pair of baggy blue jeans, a cropped white vest, with a hoodie i stole off of scarlett over the top. I stole it one week when she was so busy at work, i was having a hard time and it made me feel better.

I hear a knock on the door as i open my blinds.

'You can come in!' I say.

'Hey baby, why are you awake so early?' Lizzie asks confused. 'Just woke early i suppose.' I shrug. She hums curiously. 'Okay well what do you want for breakfast?' Lizzie questions.

'Can we have pancakes?' I tilt my head in question. 'Absolutely we can have pancakes!' Lizzie smiles wide, as if she's just won an oscar or something. I return the beautiful smile on her face and we both head downstairs.

'Hey honey.' Scarlett smiles as she hugs me, lifting me off my feet slightly. 'Hi.' I chuckle as she puts me down.

'You're up early!' She grins as she kisses my cheek. 'I know!' I chuckle.
